I love the Greeting Card Kids stamp set! It reminds me of images from my childhood. This card is copied from the one in the SU Idea Book and Catalog. The card base is one of the In Colors, Blushing Bride, and snowflakes from the Serene Snowflakes set was stamped in Champagne VersaMark Dazzle watermark ink to create a subtle background. The music background stamp from my stash is stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla card stock. The sentiment from A Cardinal Christmas is stamped in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla card stock but before I stamped the sentiment, I lightly sprayed the card stock with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz. It is punched with the Modern Label punch. The little girl is stamped in Black StazOn on water color paper and colored with Watercolor Wonder Crayons. Moonlight Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink was used to color the trim on her coat and hat and Taffy Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink was used to color the tree ornaments. Snowflakes were also stamped around her in the Champagne VersaMark ink. Other accessories used were Very Vanilla satin ribbon, Silver Glass Glitter, and Victoria Crochet Trim.

A layout about our youngest dog, Breezie. DSP from a Pet Stack in my stash. The perfectly coordinated brad was made with the iTop Brad maker my sisters got me for Christmas last year.

It's been a while since I've had time to stamp so I spent several hours in my studio this weekend making up for lost time! Here's a Thanksgiving easel card that was easy and fun to make. The pumpkins and leaf are from the Autumn Harvest set and stamped on Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard and Old Olive card stock. The turkey is the single Gobble, Gobble stamp on River Rock heat embossed in Early Espresso and mounted on a scalloped circle cut from a Sizzix die in my Big Shot. The sentiment from Gobble Gobble is stamped in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake card stock, punched with the Word Window punch, and mounted on Early Espresso punched with the Modern Label punch. The card base is also Early Espresso and the DSP is retired Apple Cider. Linen thread is tied on an retired Sage Shadow button.

Another birthday card CASEd from one by Lorri Heiling that I found on SCS. The only difference between her card and the one below is that I used Crumb Cake ink and card stock for the card base and she used black. The cupcakes were stamped with the Cupcake wheel and colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen. I hope you can see the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the frosting. The cardstock colors used for the stripes are Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana (retired), Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and Pale Plum (retired).

A fall birthday card made with punches. DSP from one of the hostess print/pattern packs and card base is Soft Suede card stock.

Busy weekend ahead so this post will be quick! Another great fall card CASEd from someone on SCS but don't remember who.

This is one of my favorite Halloween cards made with the retired set, Hauntingly Halloween. It is not my original design but I cannot remember whose work I copied so I can give proper credit. If you know, or if it is yours, please let me know. Begin by punching a circle for the moon out of scrap card stock. Lay the scrap of card stock with the hole from your punch on a piece of white card stock. Sponge So Saffron ink inside to create the moon. When the ink is dry, use a temporary adhesive, such as Dotto, to stick the punched circle over the sponged moon. Sponge on ink on for the sky beginning near the moon and working toward the edge of the paper. I used Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, and a tiny bit of Basic Black. Using Basic Black and Whisper White ink, stamp the trees from Lovely as a Tree set along the bottom of the paper. Remove the circle, stamp and color the image. A white gel pen was used for coloring the stars and to make the streaks. Mat on So Saffron card stock and an Elegant Eggplant card base.
