Hooray To You

Check out this cool birthday card!!  

It is a fun fold!  

I just love it!  

I used the 'Hooray To You' stamp set that is in the Beginners Brochure! 

You can CLICK HERE to see that brochure!

This is what it looks like when you open it up!

Aren't these words just great!!!  

This is from the 'Happiest of Birthdays'.  

Check it out on page 103 in the Annual Catalog!

This is only shown, so that you can see how the base piece is.  

The base measures 4 1/4 x 7 3/4"- score at 5 1/2" & then 

I used the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder on the bottom part.

How did I make the balloon this color?

• Ink the entire stamp using the Magenta Madness ink.
• Using a Sponge Dauber with the Gorgeous Grape ink, randomly add dots directly onto the stamp.
• I usually 'breath' onto the stamp to make sure that the ink is moist. 
• AND THEN- Press it onto the Whisper White card stock!

stamp set:  'Hooray to You' & 'Happiest of Birthdays'

card stock:

• Magenta Madness- 4 1/4 x 7 3/4"- score at 5 1/2"- fold & use the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder on the bottom of this; 3 1/4 x 4 1/2"
• Gorgeous Grape- 3 3/4 x 10"- score at 5"- fold in half; 1" strip- punch out flowers

Framed for You!

I made a fun daisy card, using a new set called- 'Framed for You'!!  It is on page 47 in the Annual Catalog. 

Here are the new products I used when creating this card:

• 'Framed for You' stamp set
• In Good Taste DSP
• Bumble Bee card stock
• Bumble Bee ink pad
• Bumble Bee Gingham Ribbon
• Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder
• Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch- *NOTE slid the end back into the front side of the punch & re-punched this that it would be SMALLER for just the words. 
• Confetti  Flowers Border Punch
• Playing With Patterns Resin Dots

Both of these card are exactly the same, but I changed the color of the base.  I like them both, but I think that the Bumble Bee base just make the card brighter.  What do you think?

Wow- can you believe that Ainslee turned 3 years old on Thursday?  Today we'll go up to their home for cake & ice cream!  She is super excited & is becoming quite the big girl!  Time just flies, as she is our youngest grandchild.

So this is the card I made for her birthday.  I used the 'Hooray To You' stamp set.  

Ainslee loves pink & purple- so this is totally her.  I can't wait for her to see it!  She loves cards & she loves to stamp.

If you look closely at this balloon, can you tell that it is different colors?  I had fun playing with this set, trying different techniques to add multiple colors to the balloon. Sometime later this week I'll share photos & steps on how I did this!

More- Celebrate Sunflowers!

I am lovin' these sunflowers in this 'Celebrate Sunflowers' bundle.......and I can't stop creating with it.  The neat thing is that each sunflower can all be so different looking!  

And I am also using several of the NEW 2020-2022 In Colors on this card!!!!

• Misty Moonlight
• Just Jade
• Cinnamon Cider
• Bumble Bee

This is what this card looks like when it is opened up!

Notice how I die cut out 2 of the Sunflowers.  The front sunflower is stamped.  The back sunflower (isn't stamped), it is just laid over the top of the front (top) one so that it helps make it more secure & better attached to the card.

This is how I made the center of the sunflower.  I actually just cut a 1 3/4 x 11" strip & got 4 centers out of it.  Notice how I only used part of the die.  I only wanted the center part.  This die has all of the outline sunflower images around the center (circle) part, so I took my Paper Snips & cut that all off!

I then die cut another little circle for the center, using the center circle die.  And I pressed this into the center of the flower stamp, using my Cinnamon Cider ink.  And then you could add some Wink of Stella if you want too!

Isn't this a bright, cheery & fun summer card!

stamp set:  'Celebrate Sunflowers'
card stock:

• Misty Moonlight- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base & then fold back top part of card, for the diagonal
• Just Jade- 3 1/4 x 3 1/4"- diagonal cut & use one triangle; 2" strip- stamp 2 leaves onto & die cut out; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
• Bumble Bee- 3 1/2" strip- stamp big Sunflower onto & die cut out
• Cinnamon Cider- 1 3/4" strip- die cut center of sunflower; 1' strip- die cut little circle center of flower
• Whisper White- 4 x 3/4"- stamp words onto & punch both ends with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch

designer paper:  Flowers For Every Season- 3 x 3"- diagonal cut & use one triangle; 4 x 1"
inks:  Misty Moonlight; Just Jade; Bumble Bee; Cinnamon Cider
other:  Die Cutting Machine; Sunflowers Dies; Misty Moonlight Ribbon; Lovely Labels Pick A Punch; dimensionals; glue dots

Isn't this Flowers of Every Season DSP just totally gorgeous!!  It was my inspiration for creating this card!  

WOW!!!!

Just look at all of these different sunflowers!

The colors of them are just awesome!!

This photo can give us all some great inspiration when 

creating with this 'Celebrate Sunflowers' bundle!

Thanks to my downline, Von- for sharing this photo with my Iowa Inkers team.

I thought it was so cool, that I just had to share it here with all of you too!

Last night was our weekly race night in Osky.  

I didn't go, as I stayed home to cut card stock & get ready for my upcoming stamp class.  

Nathan destroyed his race car in a bad wreck.

He must have had a guardian angel with him, as he walked away from it.

I rarely miss a race.......and listening to the announcer on the radio say that 

the #52 was barrel rolling & flipping in the air- was awful!

He has a cut on his leg, a bump on his elbow &

 I'm sure he will have several bruises & be super sore today.   

We are just very thankful that he is still here with us. 

I hope you have a great Thursday!!
Happy Stamping!

Celebrate Sunflowers

I love daisy's!  And I especially love yellow flowers.....so I sure think that this Flowers for Every Season DSP is just totally stunning!!  

Check out this cute card.  I used these NEW products when creating it:

• 'Celebrate Sunflowers' stamp set
• Sunflowers Dies
• Flowers for Every Season DSP
• Flowers for Every Season Combo Ribbon (gingham)
• Greenery Embossing Folder
• Lovely Labels Pick A Punch
• NEW Just Jade ink pad 
• NEW Just Jade card stock

So what do you think?  Do you like it too?

I used Medium Daisy punch & punched out 3 white daisy's to make this flower.  The center is actually the die from the Sunflower Dies.  I used the stylus end of my Take Your Pick Tool & rubbed the back side of the circle to make it pop up a little. 

Check out the awesome NEW Lovely Labels Pick A Punch.  You pick the length & the width of your card stock & punch the ends of it.  Depending on how thick or thin your strip is will determine what the end actually looks like when it is punched.  This is great new tool that you can get many different uses out of.  In fact- it is so popular that is on now on back order until the first part of July.  Thankfully the number hasn't been shut off yet & you can still order it as of right now.

Here is the birthday boy- Trey!

He said that this is the best birthday that he has had in 6 years!!

He is just so funny!

And here is Trey with is his cousins Colsyn & Masen!

They are all camping at Adventureland this weekend.

So we took up taco meat & the cupcakes I picked up (that Manda ordered) 

from my friend Cherie.

And we all celebrated Trey's birthday in the campground last night, 

after they were done at the park!

Deke's brother, Doug went with us too!

We had a fun night, with some of our family!

And here is a picture of the whole gang!

-Brayden, Brody, Drake, Collyns, Trey, Colsyn, Masen & Ainslee-

They had a fun day together at Adventureland yesterday.

I hope you have a SPECIAL Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!

Hugs-
