Sarah's Wedding

My husband's cousin, Sarah, is getting married this month and I made this card for her and her fiance, Nick. I'm crazy about the "print pattern" looking designer paper and used the framed border image from the Sweet Dreams set for the first time today. Today has been all about using scraps as I'm cleaning and sorting, and I had one last piece of Kraft cardstock that I had previously stamped using the Spunky Spots jumbo wheel.

• Paper: Kraft, Basic Black, "Print Pattern" DP that I got at Hobby Lobby, Whisper White
• Ink: Basic Black, Whisper White, Sharpie Twin Tip Ultra Fine permanent marker
• Stamps: Sweet Dreams, sentiment is a Michael's $1 stamp
• Tools: Small Oval, Large Oval hole punches, Slit Punch
• Accessories: Clear Button, Green Ribbon from WalMart, Black Hemp Twine, Black Ribbon, Black and White Ribbon from Hobby Lobby

Tender Bunny

As I was cleaning my desk, I had one extra stamped image of this bunny from the Tender Toile set, and one extra stamped Kraft cardstock scored and folded, so I whipped up this card today. I should have enough baby cards to last me for several months now!

• Paper: Kraft, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Whisper White
• Ink: Basic Black, Whisper White
• Stamps: Tender Toile, Spunky Spots and Dotted Lines Jumbo Wheels
• Accessories: Ribbon, spiral paper clip from Target, Stampin' Dimensionals

Tender Bunny, you make me smile

Here's another card with my sweet little bunny stamp.

• Paper: Stampin' Up! Kraft, Basic Black, Cool Caribbean, Whisper White cardstock
• Ink: Basic Black by Stampin' Up!, White by Stampabilities
• Accessories: Black Ribbon from Hobby Lobby, Linen Thread
• Stamps: Tender Toile, Simple Sayings II, Spunky Spots Jumbo Wheel all by SU

Celebrate Spunky Balloons

This was my first time to use my Dotted Lines jumbo roller and I know it's going to be a fun one. I used the 3/4 inch circle punch to cut the balloons and like the short-cut three-dimensional effect.

Paper: Close to Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Old Olive, Real Red, Certainly Celery
Ink: Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories: Pumpkin Pie and Real Red grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals
Stamps: Tag Time, Spunky Spots and Dotted Lines Stampin' Around Wheels

Americana Make a Wish

It's four months until Independence day, but I'm eager to use these colors together, so I couldn't resist. What a fun new stamp set this is going to be...it's my first time to use it.

• Paper: Brocade Blue, Real Red, Night of Navy, Whisper White
• Ink: Whisper White, Real Red
• Stamps: Birthday Whimsey, Spunky Spots Jumbo Wheel, So Many Sayings (Make a Wish)
• Tools/Accessories: White Embossing Powder (for sentiment), Basic Eyelets, Real Red Striped 1/2-inch Grosgrain Ribbon, Crystal Effects, Glitter, Word Window Punch

If anyone who sees this is good at setting eyelets, I would appreciate your tips. I'm frustrated with all the methods I use, including the Crop-o-dile, Marvy Instant Setter, and using 1/16-inch handheld punch. Also, I realize I made a mess with my Crystal Effects...it came out fast and I didn't have any toothpicks handy, so I have way too much.
