My sister's birthday is tomorrow. This is the card I made for her. I used the stamp from Thoughts and Prayers as my inspiration.
I used the leaves from the XL Two Step Bird Punch and the flowers from the Trio Flower Punch to create my focal point. Two Way Glue works well to adhere the leaves. Then I added some silver beads from the Silver Bead Duo (you get beads and microbeads). The beads are a little shinier in real life and add a nice touch of bling. Birthday Wishes from Sincere Salutations is stamped in Rich Razzleberry. The background is Cottage Wall DSP. I also used the Scallop Trim Border Punch--this punch can be yours FREE with a Sale-a-Bration order.
Speaking of Sale-a-Bration, it ends on Wednesday! Don't miss out on your FREE product. Click here for 24/7 Online Ordering.

Today is the last day to register for March's Stamp Camp. You can join us on Friday, March 19 at 7pm at my house in Plainfield, IL or on Sunday, March 21 at 12pm in Hoffman Estates. I have 2 options for this months Stamp Camp. For all the information and PayPal links, click here.
Today I'm sharing the technique card for Stamp Camp. The technique is Brick Wall. It's a more advanced technique, but one well worth learning. Here's the card.
The Pretty in Pink panel was through the Big Shot with the Texture #1 plates (small dots). I know you can't really see it. The image from Thoughtful Prayers in stamped on a piece of the Sweet Pea DSP from the Occasions Mini.
Just a reminder that the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-Bration end this month! If you haven't earned your FREEBIES yet, you can order anytime right here.

I'm still here--just a busy, busy week! I'm late in getting a birthday card out to my niece. This is her card. It uses the sketch on CPS. I tweeked it a bit--my knot in the ribbon is the circle and I switched the placement of the two vertical strips. I think it still qualifies.
Here's what I used for the card:
Stamp Sets: Thoughts and Prayers, Sincere Salutations
Inks: Real Red, Real Red and Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Markers
Card Stock: Real Red, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Accessories: Scallop Trim Border (yours FREE with $50 order), 5/8" Certainly Celery Grosgrain
Don't forget there's only a few days left of SUPER FEBRUARY! Don't miss out on the chance to earn a FREE Gift Certificate for Stampin' Products!

I have another Abundant Hope card to share. It uses the layout on page 24 of the Occasions Mini again. Have you ever had an idea that you liked so much, you use it multiple times? Well, you can see that I love the idea of stamping this image and popping out the flowers.
I really like these colors together: Kraft, Summer Sun and Basic Black. I hope my friend Rose does too because she's getting this card. I'm part of a yahoo group and we have weekly challenges. This particular challenge was to use the layout on page 24.
Here's the rest of the ingredients. I think you can see how I did it. But, if you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Stamps: Abundant Hope
Inks: Basic Black
Card Stock: Kraft, Basic Black, Summer Sun
Accessories: Scallop Trim Border (yours FREE with SAB), Corduroy Buttons in Kraft and Summer Sun, 1 1/4" Basic Black Striped Grosgrain, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Stampin' Dimensionals

Good Friday Morning! Today's Bloggers' Challenge is a sketch. Woo hoo! I love sketch challenges! I decided to pair it with this week's color challenge on SCS. Now, this is an interesting color combo: Soft Suede, Perfect Plum and Pale Plum. This is one I probably would not have thought of. But, I like it! I hope you do too!
Did you know the new Beautiful Wings Embosslit layers perfectly on the Beautiful Wings Bigz Die? You probably figured that out since the names are the same, but just in case...
I used a Perfect Plum butterfly with the bigz die and a Pale Plum embosslit. The tiny butterflies are Perfect Plum and made with the embosslit. My Soft Suede and Pale Plum strips are punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch. Remember this is one you can earn FREE until March 31!
I used the Baroque Motifs flourish stamp to add a little background on the Pale Plum piece.
Here's a close up of the butterflies. I used Tombow Mono Adhesive on the "bent" part and then Stampin' Dimensionals in between the two wings.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Do some stamping!
There's just over a week left of my Super February! Don't miss out on the chance to win!

Happy Friday! Today's Bloggers' Challenge is a color combo: Pink, Brown and Neutral. I decided to try the new technique from Technique Junkies called Jenny's Coat. It's the same concept as Joseph's Coat, but instead of sponging on a neutral color to make your background paper, you use DSP. My Pretty in Pink houndstooth pattern from Sweet Pea DSP was still out so that made my choice easy, lol!
I used the example in the TJ Newsletter for my inspiration. I stamped Medallion with Versamark on the DSP and then used Clear Embossing Powder. Next I brayered Chocolate Chip ink over the embossed image. Be sure to wipe off the excess ink on the embossed areas.
To finish my card, I added Double Stitched Chocolate Chip ribbon and the new 5/8" Pretty in Pink Satin ribbon. I also add a new Sweet Pea Stitched Felt that can be found in the Occasions Mini.
I really think this is a cool technique and that the Medallion is perfect for it! If you would like to order these products, click here. Remember, with a $50 order you can choose a Sale-a-Bration product FREE!

I have a card for you today that I just love. It features some of the beautiful paper found in the Sweet Pea Designer Series Pack in the Occasions Mini. If you follow my blog, you've seen some of the designs already. Today is a new one.
First, I chose this particular design because it fit perfectly with the sketch on CPS. Take a look.
Aren't those butterflies beautiful? And that's the paper! My 3 strips are more of the Sweet Pea Designer Series Pack, matted with Rose Red. On the focal image, I added another butterfly using the Butterfly Punch and yet another Sweet Pea pattern. I added a few of the small Fire Circle Rhinestones for the butterfly's body.
Lastly I stamped "thanks" from Fundamental Phrases on So Saffron with Rose Red ink and added it all to a Old Olive card base.
The Sweet Pea DSP has a few other patterns that would work perfectly for this layout. If you like DSP, you NEED the Sweet Pea DSP! It can be found in the new Occasions Mini. Remember, with $50 you get to choose a Sale-a-Bration product FREE! You can order online and still receive these benefits (and hostess benefits if your order is $150 or more!).

Now for a card that showcases the new Occasions Mini stamp set, Fox and Friends. This is not my typical style stamp set, but I really have come to like it. I hope you do too!
My card follows this week's sketch onCPS. I stamped the lion from Fox and Friends with More Mustard and cut him out. Then he's layered on Old Olive and Chocolate Chip. My background is Animal Stories Designer Series Paper. I used a piece of Double Stitched Chocolate Chip Grosgrain. To add a little fun, I frayed the edges just a bit.
