Boss's Day

 
 
 
Amuse and Nina cardstocks, Modern Zinnia stamp set from
Amuse, Essential Sentiments Too stamp set from
Amuse, white glitter ribbon from Paper Wishes,
and sequins from Amuse.
 
Today is Boss's Day and we had a celebration yesterday
at work for our boss. I was asked to make a card
for her, and decided that I wanted to make a
fall card. I have always loved the Modern
Zinnia stamp set so decided to use it.
I have recently started using the new Shadow inks from
Hero Arts and love the clear solid image they make.
Below is a picture of the inside of the card.

Girlfriends Just Because

Girlfriends stamp and die set from Amuse,
Step card by Hot Off The Press, papers from Paper Wishes,
Dazzles from Hot Off The Press, Copic markers, Wink of
Stella, and bling from my stash.
 
I have been waiting for so long to use my new Girlfriends
stamp and die set from Amuse. I just think it came out
so cute! The papers are all from a set from my monthly
kit I get from Paper Wishes and I think everything matched up so
nicely.
You can't see it as well on the picture, but the Wink of Stella
on her dress and bow looks so cute.
Not sure who will get the card, but I love it!

Birthday Greetings

Amuse cardstock, Vintage Leaves stamp and die set
from Stampin Up, EK Success Punch, Birthday
Greetings stamp by Gina K Designs, Fun Fur from
my stash, large rhinestone from Bo Bunny,
and sequins from Amuse.
 
Hi all. I have been wanting to start on some fall
cards, and I have a lot of fall birthdays coming up.
I loved this stamp set from Stampin Up, and am
really loving any matching die sets. I need masculine
birthday cards and tried to keep this from being too "girly".
I liked the way it came out, but still deciding on if
it will go to one of my brother in laws, or a friend.

Twins Baby Card

Amuse cardstock, retired TAC stamp sets Twins and
Everything Nice, Onsie die cut (sorry I fogot the
manufacturer's name), Dazzle Borders by Hot Off The
Press, bling and brads from my stash, and Wink
Of Stella and Spica Pens.
 
Well the Twins card finally got made! I had a lot of fun
making it. Tried several different sketches, but liked this
on the best. It is kind of hard to see the glitter online, but
in person it is really pretty. I think my coworker will really
like it, and she is due any day now.

Touch of Nature

Touch of Nature stamp set from Amuse, cardstock from
Gina K Designs, Distress Ink, sequins from Amuse,
clear detail embossing powder.
 
I had been wanting to challenge myself to making a one layer
card. They always feel so unfinished to me. I love this stamp
set from Amuse and the saying is appropriate for what
my daughter and I have been talking about lately.
So I snuck away to my craft room while everyone was
either sleeping or occupied on Saturday and
played away. I am pleased with the results, but do still
feel that it is somewhat unfinished. I have to keep
working on these I guess.

Frog Birthday

 
Retired TAC stamp set, Joy Found, (now available
at Red Rubber Designs), Amuse Cardstock,
designer paper Just Like Dad from TAC (retired),
Dazzles Happy Birthday sentiment from Hot Off The Press,
ribbon from my stash, and Copic markers.
 
I have always loved this stamp set and found it recently
when cleaning out my stamp room. My grandson's
birthday was Sept 13 and he asked for a frog collection
jar for his birthday from his parents. (Glad them and not me!).
Anyway I thought this card was perfect for him. I really
had a lot of fun stamping and coloring it. Also happy
to be using some of the items I have on hand.

Tools Happy Birthday Card

Bazzill and Neena cardstock, designer paper from MME,
Tool Die Cuts from Dynamics, and Dazzels
stickers from Hot Off The Press.
 
My son's birthday was on Sept 7th, and I cannot believe he is
now 34 yrs old! He is a wonderful man and son, and
he loves to fix and build things so this card was
perfect for him.
I had so much fun making the card, you can mix and match
some of the pieces so it looks more realistic. I am
very happy with the way it turned out.
Here is a picture of the inside of the card.
 
 
Life has been crazy for me for a while now, but hopefully I
will not be gone so long this time!
