More beautiful work done by friends celebrating the birth of lil' Chase! I just love the little monkey from the set Fox & Friends.

Trendy Trees

Think "masculine" and trees, wood grain ect come to mind for me. So with that inspiration i created this card for a dear friend of my hubby's who is going through a rough time. The little snippit of dsp is actually from a simply scrappin kit that is now retired from the last caty. Super nice for the manly touch.

ps. notice the 'stacked' look using SU's fabulous punches for my sentiment! I just love it and it goes together in a snap. I'm starting to do this more and more it seems! less cutting makes a happier me ;)

supplies:
paper: old olive, whisper white, not quite navy
ink: choc chip, old olive
stamps: trendy trees, wood grain
tools: curly label punch, modern label punch
accessories: star brad, hemp twine, stampin dimensionals, sponge

On a pedastal

another bright version of on a pedestal w/ the added touch of rhinestones on the cake stand! This pix does no justice to the sparkly bling! ;)

ok so i love giving handmade things, especially cards whenever possible...but it makes my day when i am on the recieving end as well! (i've been known to squeal when i see it in the mail box if there is stamping on the outside!)) These are the 'hand made' cards i got for my special day this year!yeah!

pick a petal

so this is the first stamping i got to play with since chase has been born. My friend Rachel and i were due approx 1 week apart and she had a little girl! So i wanted to make a little stack of thank you's to give to her in the hospital along w/ a bit of bling of course!

Using that textured cardstock gives you a flashy card very quickly! Here i used pink pourette and early espresso. Love them together!

supplies:

paper: pink pourette, early espresso

ink: pretty in pink, early espresso

stamps: pick a petal, thank you kindly

tools: circle punch

accessories: green buttons, mini glue dots
