My Favorite Things...

Two posts tonight so please be sure to scroll down to see my entry to TECC #53 too!

I got fun surprise in the mail the other day when my sister (Maylee's Creative Corner) sent me a card with this My Favorite Things stamp set in it- I just had to make something with it right away! Here is the first card I created with it.


Supplies: How Sweet It is (My Favorite Things), Prima flowers, stickles

I couldn't stop at just one, so I decided to get my feet wet and participate in a new challenge for me on the Splitcoast Stampers website, a sketch challenge specifically for MFT stamps.

Here was the sketch:


And the card I made:

Supplies: How Sweet It Is (My Favorite Things), Guava dots patterned paper (Lasting Impressions), Swiss Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug- Provocraft), Glossy Accents (Inkssentials-Ranger Industries)

A good friend of another one of my sisters recently found out that she is expecting! My sister wanted a congrats card to give her and this is what I came up with!


Supplies: She's Expecting! (Studio G- Hampton Arts), Spring Blossoms (Inkadinkado), Thoughtful Messages (Hero Arts)

More Baby Stuff

As I mentioned in the previous post, on November 7th a new niece was added to our family! For my sister and especially the proud BIG sister, I made this card:

I also made birth announcements for the little one! These are the original pattern that I had tweaked to make the birthday party invitations in the last post. The pattern and tutorial are again from Lauren Meader, her blog link can be found over on the left and also here.



Supplies: Bee Secret (Stampendous); Little Girl sentiment (Hampton Arts- Studio G); Swiss Dots embossing folder (Provocraft-Cuttlebug), Circle & Scallop punches, Cotton Candy Pink Stickles (Ranger)

Father's Day

After the Stampin' Up class- I made my own version of the wallet card, and another card to decide between to give my dad..


and this one:

I ended up picking the wallet one- and each one of my sisters and I signed a 'credit card' that's inserted in each of the pockets. Jason & I went to a house-warming party for some good friends of ours on Saturday night, and I made this card for them:

Thanks for looking!
