Moon Lake bird frame

This frame was created using the Moon Lake stamp set, inks and Blendabilities.  I love how this set makes such a frameable piece of artwork.  The background was sponged using soft sky, marina mist and wild wasabi inks.  The sentiment and bird were stamped in momento tuxedo black ink on whisper white cardstock and colored with Blendabilities.  This was very fun to make as an inexpensive, yet nice hostess thank you gift.

Perfect Blend thank you gift card

This card was inspired by Tami White of stampwithtami.com.  I changed the dimensions a little and used different Framelits and stamp sets, but the basic concept came from her video.  I used strawberry slush, early espresso and lost lagoon cardstock to make the card.  It will fit into a standard medium sized envelope.  I hope it will inspire you to make one of your own.

Stamp sets used are Perfect Blend, a round array, lots of thanks and honeycomb hello.  I used crumb cake Blendabilities to color the coffee cup.  The "sleeve" is cut from the all abloom paper stack.  I cut the lid from very vanilla cardstock.

Mickey's Merry Christmas

As I sat on Halloween night having enjoyed all the trick or treaters, I see our Disneyland tickets laying on my table.  So off to my craft room I went and came up with this beautiful card.  By the time you all read this, I will be in Disneyland enjoying the beginning of the holiday season.  This card is on a base card of blushing bride.  The snowflakes were stamped using the Many Merry Stars photopolymer stamp set which is featured in the 2014 holiday supplement by Stampin' Up!  I embossed them using iridescent ice.  The Mickey head is made using the 3rd and 6th circles from the circle Framelit dies and cut from basic black and they are also embossed in iridescent ice using the same stamp set.  The banner is from the White Christmas set in the holiday catalog and embossed in gold.  I had to fussy cut it myself but it was worth the effort.  I hope this inspires and here's wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas.
