Thank You Card from a Sweet Friend

Happy Thursday, my stamping friends!
Yesterday I received a surprise in the mail - beautiful Thank You card from my friend Sheri. This card absolutely made my day - it was sent just because, with kind words and thoughts. From a moment I picked up a mail, till now (and for many more days) - it makes me smile inside and outside. It sits on my counter and i can see and smile over and over. Thank You, Sheri!
And this is the reminder for all of us - to stop and think about other people in our busy life, send a little note, cheer somebody up, brighten their day. Such a big impact that handmade card can make.

Sky Is The Limit

Happy Monday, my stamping friends!
Hope you had great weekend, well rested and ready for a great week. This week is the last week you can still earn Sky is the limit set for free. I would like to share few of my favorite samples. I wrote in previous post that I participated in occasional catalog swap. At the same time I participated in Sale-A-Bration swap, and I used Sly is the Limit set. This set was most popular in my group as well, as majority of card were made with this set.
At this point I am not sure who is the creator of this card, please let me know if this is you. This card is my favorite in a swap because of the soft colors and beautiful  details (sponging, layers, pearls):

 
This card (I believe it is Carol Hickman's) - is amazing. To use it in soft pink tones and cut mountains out of designer paper - how clever is that!

This is my version for swap.
It always looks impressive in multiples, don't you think?
Do you recognize where did my circle come from? Yes, from occasion Birthday Bloom card I made for the swap - do not like any paper go to waist.
Wow, crazy how colors looks different on both pictures, but it is the same pool party.

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Bloom Cards for Swap

Happy Friday, my stamping friends!
It was busy week for me at work and I did not have much time to stamp. Well, I always wish I can stamp more, but I am very grateful I can still do at least a little bit - it makes me very happy.
Today I want to share with you cards I made for Occasional Catalog Swap. It is always so fun to make cards, send them and wait when your happy mail arrives back - with cards designed by another stampers. This time it was a group of 20 of us that participated. As you probably already have an idea on my style and preferences - I absolutely in love with flower/floral images and Birthday Bloom stamp was my #1 stamp in this occasion catalog. So this is what I came up with this time:
 I stamped flower with versa mark on vellum and embossed with black embossing powder, than colored on the back with markers and added Wink of Stella to the flowers.
 It was fun to make them and than take a picture of what i was about to send.
Did you see my other post with the same set and designer paper? Check it out, I have instructions posted as well.

Blooming Love Birthday Card

Happy Tuesday, my stamping friends!
Today I want to share with you special card. I  had Blooming Love class this Saturday. With 12 stampers and me - it was a lot fun. We had chocolate, sparkling wine and strawberries in between stamping. My daughter joined us for stamping too. This is the card she made with few modifications to the Valentine sample - what a beautiful Birthday card! After the each class I ask everybody what card is their favorite - and this one was #1 pick for almost everybody (even so it was the longest to make with small die cuts).

How To:
  • Rose red - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 to create card base, 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 to layer whisper white stamped image
  • Whisper White - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 to stamp heart in garden green, 2 pieces to cut banners from bitty banner die
  • Crumb Cake - 3 x 4 1/2, stamp with garden green flower in bottom right corner

Valentine Team Stamp It blog Hop

Welcome to January team Stamp It Blog Hop. The theme for this hop is Valentine. The moment I think about Valentine/love/friendship type of project - Love Blossoms Suite is coming to my mind first. Such beautiful, elegant and feminine. I created a home decor piece - shadow box framed art. I had fun creating one for Christmas and it looked great. And it is time to re-purpose the frame, don't you think?
Here is closer look:

I wish the picture can do a justice. It is much more vibrant in person (well, probably because my photo skill below the average and have a lot of room for improvement).
I use the color combo in the suite ( Rose Red, Sahara Send and Blushing bride) and gold. Each square is 3x3, frame is 12x12. I also created simple matching card:
Hope you like my projects. Please let me know what you think, and what stamp set is your favorite for Valentine themed project.
