Pastel Thank You

I have to admit, this is a card that did not end up like the idea I had in my head. I hate when that happens! I wanted to add a thank you card to the shower gifts, and I became very stuck, and this is what evolved from the original idea. I made 30 of these cards. It is nice to be able to use up some retired card stock. Though Stampin' Up may not make it anymore, it doesn't mean it's not good paper. At least that's my opinion!

Stamps: SU Printed Petals, Thank You Kindly

Birthdays & Flowers

A card for all year long! I started making these for BRAK cards, but I ran out of steam by the time I made 80 of them! Did I mention I've been making cards in mass quantities!

Lighthouses & Birthdays

More cards made in multiples. I'm trying to design a variety of themes for the shower gifts. I tried to think of they type of card I never seem to have handy, and the first thing that came to mind was a "guy" birthday card. I have a difficult time designing masculine cards. Probably because I don't have many "man" stamps. I purchased this lighthouse stamp from a stamp company from Sunnyside Stamps in St. Clair, Michigan. They have an amazing selection of stamps, especially Michigan Lighthouses. And the customer service is fantastic! This image is the Crisp Point Light in Lake Superior.

Paper: SU Naturals Cream (retired), More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy, Night of Navy

Here's another birthday card in pink! This card was fun to make. It's another card for the shower gifts. If you have a manly card, you have to have a girly card, right? I was hoping for more of a "quilt" in the center of the card, but I think it's just a Four Square.

The Secret to Life....

I've been busy making cards for a family wedding shower. These are going to be gifts for the guests. I made 30 of these cards, and I'm finding I really like white base cards! I also found a new favorite color combination: Baja Breeze & Elegant Eggplant or Concord Crush! Love it!

Baby Shower Invites Gone Crazy!

I offered to make shower invites for a friend, thinking I would have to make 40-50 cards. I was surprised they actually needed 115! This was the final design the Baby Momma agreed on. I was quite overwhelmed with number of invites, so I had to incorporate the help of some friends! Thanks to everyone who helped make these cards possible!

Single Card Making Mania

Yay! Another single card! It seems so rare to make only one card. I've lost count of the 20+ cards I've made in the last couple of months. I have to figure out my Ott light, because this card is actually made on Stampin' Up Whisper White! It was a simple card and I am quite pleased with it.
