Hoppy Brew

 


My brother is a beer connoisseur. When I saw another card on Pinterest with the phrase 'Hoppy Birthday' on it, I just knew it'd be perfect for my brother.

I used My Memories Suite digital software to create the words (and lines) and printed it on Basic White Cardstock. I then stamped the beer images from the 'Brewed For You' Stamp set and colored it in using my Stampin' Blends.

I added a 'Wink of Stella" to the beer to make it shine.

Thanks for hopping over!

Old Taco

 


The 'Taco Fiesta' stamp set was such a cute set... so fun to work with too. Wish it had a coordinating die set, but... I didn't mind fussy cutting.
I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the veggies and dip to make them shine.

Thanks for dropping in!

Greeting Points

 


Easter had always been my Mom's favorite holiday. When she passed away, we always remember all the little details my Mom did to make Easter so fabulous each and every year! Now that she's gone... the rest of the family has hosted each year. This year it's at my brother and sister-in-law's house (Dan and Tracy). I wanted to create a Thank You card for them expressing my gratitude - BUT wanted to also bring a bit of my Mom with it. She loved roses.... especially pink ones. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet Moments

 

My Best Friend LOVES koalas... so I knew I had to purchase the 'Wild & Sweet' stamp set. It's such a lovely detailed stamp. All I needed to do was color in the image using my Stampin' Blends.
The sentiment is from the 'Wonderful Moments' set and the background is from the 'Forever Fern' stamp set.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Flora Punch

 


I fell in love with Christy Gridley's simple yet elegant card! I just knew I had to create one of my own. I changed a few things up to make it my own.... and to utilize the Two-Tone Flora stamps to go along with the coordinating dies (the same name). Now, I think the card is more suited for a wedding card than a birthday card... but... It'll be a birthday card for my wonderful neighbor and friend.

Let's Brunch

 


My neighbor was trying to find invitations for a brunch that she was having. As there were nothing that she liked in stores, I told her that I would create something for her. She loved these invites and so did her invitees!
I designed them using My Memories digital software and printed them on Basic White cardstock and attached them to an Orchid Oasis card base.
The image is an image from the My Memories software.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

To Grow

 


My niece is turning 16! Sweet 16... and growing up so fast! I wanted a feminine look, but also an elegant touch. I believe I achieved that with the 'Bloom & Grow' stamp set and its coordinating 'Budding Blooms' dies. I paired it with the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set for the sentiment and my personal favorite, 'Tasteful Labels' dies.
