Thankful Friday! :D

Good afternoon! You made it to Friday! So did I! :D I'm grateful for that, but also that I am done with all my thank-you cards. :D Today, I want to show you the special one I did for Kathy - since she picked it up yesterday, and since I showed you her gift set Wednesday, it seems only fitting to wrap it all up. :D

 Kathy LOVES Melon Mambo. So do I! It's such a great color pink! So, I made a monochromatic card - except for the cherry on top of the cupcake, which is red glitter paper. :D

I used the cupcake punch and Whisper White for the cupcake, and ran the frosting piece through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder; ran the bottom piece and the Melon Mambo card front through the Stripes embossing folder. (I♥MyBigShot - I SOOOOOOOOOOO need a bumper sticker!!!!) :D

The saying on the front and the top one inside are from BLESSINGS FROM HEAVEN; the other is from TRUST GOD. They're all embossed with Whisper White craft ink and white embossing powder. The front are on two of the labels collection framelits. It's a simple card, but I think it's quite elegant. :)

Tell me what you think of it! (I didn't write in it, either, just put a piece of paper inside so I could let her use it if she wishes. She could also cut the front and back apart, and use them both for card fronts. I would, of course, doll up the inside a bit if it was going to be a front! :D )

OK, I'm outta here. Have a WONDERFUL weekend, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

It's another snowy Monday in Middle Tennessee! :)

Good morning! Did you have a good weekend? Are you enjoying your President's Day? :)

So, today's sample is something I crafted a few weeks ago, for our pastor's 60th birthday - Happy Birthday Again, Pastor Ronnie - if you should ever come across this post. :D

Anyway. Here it is!

Isn't it fun?? That's a cupcake box - I made him (and Kenn, sine you don't cook just ONE! :D) a lemon cupcake with lemon frosting. Here's the recipe for the card and box!

Card stock: Bashful Blue, Ruby Red, Whisper White

Ink: Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red

Stamp sets: Medallion, Well Scripted, Define Your Life (inside card)

Accessories: Window Sheets, large oval punch, 1-3/4" circle punch, dimensionals, Sticky Strip

The cupcake box is one we did at the Valentine's Stamp Camp - and it's SO versatile!!!

OK, I'm off again to get busy! If you're on my newsletter list, be on the lookout - I'm having to change some dates for this week. Life's getting in my way! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!!!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL day!

Is it pretty where you are??? It is here - it's 58 degrees, and no wind, lots of sunshine - I just saw a butterfly flit by, and the tulips are GLORIOUS. :D Jealous? :D

Anyway. :D Here's the fourth card from the birthday quick card class!

Isn't it fun??? SUPER simple, too - and just by changing the clors and/or the stamps, you'd get such a different look! Add a bow for a little more feminine feel....

Inks: Stazon Jet Black, Real Red Stampin' Write Marker, Versamark

Stamp Sets: Crazy for Cupcakes, A Little Birthday Cheer

Accessories: Hostess-only Level 1 Paper Pack, Square Scallop Punch, Black embossing powder, embossing buddy, heat tool

How SIMPLE is that??? You could really crank out a lot of these to keep around!

PLEASE, if you have ANY questions on anything I post, ASK ME!!! :) I get lonely out here by myself!
