stitched-exotics-friend-guava-bew.jpgI got the Stitched Exotics set as part of the SU! specia and got the “It’s Beautiful” jumbo wheel for free. This cardis super fast and easy using only 2 main colors and lots of sponging!

The base in naturals ivory cardstock and I rolled it with coral along the bottom. The main panel is chocolate chip and guava layered cardstock and I stamped the small dotted leaf oer the guava leaf in white to give it just a peek of texture (you have to look closely for that one!). I added chocolate chip satin ribbon since the card used a lot of flat finish. I have some satin ribbon from the winter mini, but there is also choc. chip satin ribbon in the Theatre multi-pack of ribbon if you need to get some for your use now.

The sentiment is popped up and heavily sponged for added depth. Thanks for looking!

 *I had some probs with my camera but I should be back in action now!*

voila-man-bday-bew.jpgThis was the masculine card for my B-day palooza event. So easy! I stamped the Print Pattern BG stamp along the edge in Navy, and the chef is stamped onto Naturals White. I spotlighted the cake and colored in with markers.

 Bon Appetite!

ahoy-matey-bdaypalooza-bew.jpgHere is another B-day Pa Looza cad. So easy!

I used the Ahoy Matey set and the base is Kraft cardstock. The pirate is stamped onto Naturals Ivory and sponged around the edges, as are the Always Artichoke pieces on the front. A little bit of hemp adds some texture to the front.

easy-peasy!

enjoy-every-moment-bday-palooza-girl-bew.jpgThis is the “little girl” card I made for my Birthday-Pa-Looza Stamp a Stack. It uses the Enjoy Every Moment set and matching daisy jumbo wheel. Right now you can get that wheel FREE when you purchase the sey, along with 5 other set/wheel combinations!

This is a pull-out card. The 5 1/2 x 11″ base is folded in half and sealed so that only one side is open and the pink base gets pulled out for your message. The “enjoy” is stamped in Celery craft ink, and embossed in clear. I used the 3 flower punch from the Punch Box to create the matching flowers, and added some purple fine cosmo glitter to the centers to make it POP! Finally I added a piece of wide grosgrain ribbon to make it all come together as the pull-out tag.
