Wow..what a busy time of year this is :)

I have been busy making christmas cards and even a few birthday cards.  My husband's birthday was in November and here is the card I created for him.  I really like the stamp set :)  For this card i used Close to Cocoa, Peach Parfait and Whisper White cardstock.  I used the same colors plus Poppy Parade and Elegant Eggplant for the ink.  The stamp set is called Sweet Scoops from last years summer mini.  I added some close to cocoa ribbon and some orange brads i had from michael's.  I really like how it turned out; plain, yet cute :)

Happy Birthday!

This card was made for my FIL birthday on June 20.  I used real red and whisper white, and sahara sand cardstock.  i used the designer series dsp for the back ground and perfect polka dots embossing folder for the accent piece.  i stamped the sentiment and picture with real red and punched out the sentiment with the curly label punch.  The sentiments were Vintage Labels and Happy Moments and both were from the sale-a-bration catalogue.

Happy Father's Day

I made this card for my FIL for father's day.  Everything is SU except the brad which came from Michael's.  The cardstock used was brilliant blue, only orange, gable green, yoyo yellow and whisper white.  I cut the orange out with my scissors and used the scallop oval and the large oval punches and the large and small star punches.  I used a white gel pen to make the stitching.  This card was based on a card found in the 2009-2010 idea book and catalogue.
