Masculine Birthday Stamp Camp Card

My GF, Jaime, gave me this beautiful card for my birthday. 

 

I LOVED it so I decided to CASE the idea for a stamp camp card.  I wanted a more masculine card that used the soon to retire Cogs Extra Large Punch.  Here's what I came up with.

 

All of the sentiments are from On Your Birthday stamp set.   Thanks, Jaime, not only for a pretty card, but for a great idea!

Thanks for the visit!

Cheers to You Stamp Camp Card!

Here's another June Stamp Camp card.  I know it's pink and green like yesterday's, but I promise not ALL of them will be pink and green, lol!  I used the sketch on Clean and Simple and the color from CR84FN.   This card features Cheers to You, which is one of the retiring stamp sets.

 

And here's my card...

 

Hope you can join us on June 17.  Remember registration ends Monday, June 13!

June Stamp Camp Registration Now Open!

Sorry that I'm a little late in getting the registration for June Stamp Camp up.  Stamp Camp will be Friday, June 17 at 7pm at my house in Plainfield.  Registration ends Monday, June 13.   Use the PayPal link below to register.

As you know, I've been MIA for May.  May was a month of work and baseball.  Baseball isn't over, but it's toning down a little.  I love to watch the boys play, though, so it definitely is my priority.  Since I haven't stamped for a bit, my mojo is a little rusty.  For this Stamp Camp card, I got some help from the Color Throwdown challenge and Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge.

 

 

 

My card (as will most of the Stamp Camp cards) features a retiring set, On a Pedestal.

 
I like these bright colors for a birthday card.  The background score lines were made with my Fiskars cutter and Bone Folder--this is something different for my campers.

Hope you can make stamp camp!

Retiring List Now Available!!

Happy June 1st!  Today, Stampin' Up! reveals the 2011 Retiring List.  To view the list, click on my promotions page.  I can't wait to see it myself (I won't be able to until this afternoon--hope I can make it!).

I'm offering a special in conjunction with the Retiring List reveal.  When you purchase items from the retiring list using my online ordering site, you will receive a 20% credit FREE towards your first order in July.  For example, if you purchase $50 in retiring items, you will receive a $10 credit toward your first order in July.  You receive a credit ONLY on RETIRING items (however, non retiring items can be purchased at the same time).  The credit you receive MUST be used in July and will be taken off the total--these orders MUST be emailed to me in July so that I can take the discount off (full s/h and tax apply). There is no limit to your FREE credit--it's 20% of all retiring items purchased in June. 

 

So...take a look at the list, make your wish list and then go to my online ordering site.  Remember, you DO get HOSTESS benefits if your order is $150 or more (that's why you can purchase non retiring item too).  Once I receive your order, I will email you what your FREE credit for your first order in July will be.  Come July, I will send out a reminder email to you.

 

Some of these items will only be available while supplies last so don't hesitate to get your order in.  It's best if you order online so that you can see if a product is still available (delaying by emailing me your order may result in not being able to purchase an item--some go that quickly!).

I know I've been MIA for a few weeks.  Don't worry--it won't last months--I promise!!

Fabulous Florets Stamp Camp Card

Here's the last of May's Stamp Camp cards.  Tomorrow is the deadline for registration so don't forget to sign up!  Click here for more info and a paypal link.

 

I love this flower set.  Hopefully the girls like it enough to want to cut out the flowers!  I'm not 100% sure I like my sentiment--I may have to rework that a little before Stamp Camp.  But I do like the ribbon--something a little different.

Hope you can join us on May 20th or May 22nd!!

Thanks for the visit!
 

Sail Away

I needed a masculine "thinking of you" card so I turned to my new stamp, Sail Away, and the new DSP, Nautical Expedition, both are from the Summer Mini.  Even if the card recipient isn't into boating, I think they are perfect for masculine cards. 

 
Just so happens that the colors of the DSP are in the color combo challenge on Paper Players and my sketch comes from Clean and Simple.

 
I used markers, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, and Not Quite Navy to ink my stamp.  Then I tool a Blender Pen and drew a little of the color into the sail and smudged the waves just a bit.  We will use the same technique on this card at May's Stamp Camp.

If you would like to make this card, you'll need the following products:

Stamps:  Sail Away, Silhouette Sentinments (hostess)

Markers:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy

Card Stock:  Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy, Naturals Ivory, Nautical Expedition DSP
