Over the Moon to Say Thank You!

I had a new customer place an order for Over the Moon, so I decided to use it for my thank you to her.


I hadn't inked up this stamp in a while, and it was fun to play with it again.  And as I had a Bermuda Bay Frame just sitting on my desk, this card came together quickly.

Easy to color, using Stampin' Blends, this cow was stamped on Whisper White cardstock.  When I was done coloring, I simply mounted the frame (Heirloom Frames and 3D Embossing Folders) on top with Dimensionals, the added it to my card.


Love that frame!


And that sentiment!  So cute!

Over the Moon is on page 32 in the Annual Catalog; don't forget your stamps from the Annual Catalog--like this one, they are wonderful to play with.

You Rock!

One of my favorite new stamp sets from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog is Music From the Heart.  This extremely versatile set features musical instruments, music notes and cute phrases.  I made this card for my classical guitar-playing brother:


Yeah, OK, it says "You rock!" and he plays classical, but as far as being a brother, he really does rock!

I love the guitar, but I really love the piano keys!


Stamped several times side by side, I then cut close to the edge of the paper to make the ripply edge.

I also stamped the music notes randomly around the Whisper  White cardstock to create my own background paper.


The guitar was stamped and fussy-cut, then mounted with Dimensionals to a Basic Black banner (using the Banner Triple Punch) which was adhered to a black oval cut with the Stitched Shapes dies, and then on to a Bermuda Bay Layering Oval.



The greetings were stamped using Tuxedo Black ink directly onto Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Wishing my brother a very happy birthday!

Music from the Heart is available now.

It's Beach Bag Time

The All Dressed Up dies make an adorable beach bag:


The purse die can be made a few different ways, and I saw a similar idea on Janet Wakeland's site.  Had to make them for my Card Club gals.


I started with cardstock, two pieces of 5-1/2" square is perfect to make a bag.  Cut out, put together and decorate!  What could be easier?

I paired my All Dressed Up dies with the In the Tropics dies (for the flowers and "aloha").  The buckles on the straps fo the bags are cut with Gold Foil using included dies.


Here's my rainbow of colors, filled with chocolates.  They were a hit at my party!

All Dressed Up and In the Tropics are available in the January - June 2020 Mini Catalog now.


And don't forget about Sale-a-Bration, going on now.  With every $50 purchase, you get to choose a FREE item!  Take a peek here and get something FREE, because who doesn't love FREE?
