Batting Four for Four!

Can you believe it? :D FOUR days in a row! LOL!!! Here's some more fun NEW items!

Card stock: Whisper White, Island Indigo and Calypso Coral (Both NEW IN COLORS!)

Ink: Island Indigo, Calypso Coral

Stamp sets: Teeny Tiny Messages (I'm SO glad this one's still around!!), Four Frames, Love & Care hostess-only Summer Mini stamp set (the tiny flower)

Accessories: Clear Rhinestone Brad (center of the flower), Doily Triple Layer Punch, Lace Ribbon Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Big Shot, Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate, Dimensionals, 2-Way Glue Pen, and Snail Adhesive

This was one of the first cards I made when I received the new IN COLORs; I really think the Island Indigo is going to be my favorite from this year's group, but we'll see. :D (It really does remind me of the color of the water when I was in the Bahamas in January!) Again, the punches are AWESOME - the flower is two of the #3 punches on the punch. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's a three-stage punch; you choose which one you want to punch. This is the one with the most cutouts.) Four different stamps and a letterpress plate are the only inking I did!

OK, I'm outta here. :D Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!!!!

Happy Fourth!

Kenn's using the cameras to go shoot the fireworks, so it's going to be some time before I can get the birthday cards ready to judge. I apologize - we're down TWO cameras, so it's really difficult right now.

However, I DO have something to share! :) This is one of the two cards we did for the NEW IDEA BOOK & CATALOG OPEN HOUSE on Thursday.

This is the front; I really wanted this hostess-only set from the Summer Mini, so it's what I chose for my last party. :) It's called LOVE & CARE; it reminds me of a set we had a few years ago. :)

So, here we go - and a picture of the inside of the card follows, too!

Card stock and classic ink colors (both pads and Stampin' Write markers): Bashful Blue, Real Red, and Crumb Cake

Stamp set: Love & Care

Accessories: Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate, Big Shot, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Dimensionals and Snail Adhesive


Here's the inside of the card....

I made a few more of these with the extra I had cut; when I stamped the flowers in the corners on the inside, I second- and third-generation stamped them, so there are three faint flowers overlapping in each corner.

I hope you are a little inspired! Be sure and take the time to stamp today - I AM!! :D
