Reminder and other things . . . .

Sorry that they're haven't been more cards lately. I've been making birthday cards like crazy trying to decide which ones we will do for the stamp a stack! It's been fun though. I will post the ones we won't do soon.

If you want to attend the Birthday Stamp a Stack on June 7th, please RSVP by the 1st. The cost is 10$ for 15 cards. (5 of 3 different designs). It is at 1 pm, at my home, in Murray. Email me for the address and more info. Katiejohale@gmail.com

Unfrogettable

This is with the 'Unfrogettable' set. I love it! I don't own it, my cousin Liz and I have gotten together and overtaken my kitchen. We've been pretty productive and sharing our creative juices. However, I made these at 10 last night while watching Roman Holiday. I had fun. I watercolored the frogs using Glorious Green. The grass on the 1st one was made with Gable Green, while the 3rd was using Glorious Green again. For the grass, it is from the stamp set "All the Best."

Someone Like You

I had this card for awhile, but hadn't finished, I wasn't sure how to finish it, then I did it.

Ink: Purely Pomegranate, So Saffron, Old Olive
Card stock: So Saffron, Whisper White

Enjoying the Mums

This is using a flower punch that is not SU, but available at Robert's. I punch it in the same color twice and over-layed it to make a daisy to a mum. The card is sized 5 1/2 by 5 1/2

Quick and cute

I stamped a bunch of these flowers when I first got the set, and watercolored a whole different arrays of colors. So I had these ready to go. I then mounted them on matching cardstock, and added the yellow brads for the extra color.

Stamps: Bloomin' Beautiful, It's Your Birthday

Finally, another card

Again, I have not had much time to make cards with me being ill, and the last few days, Ash has had a fever. I started this card a while ago, and finally put it together today. It is using Cool Caribbean, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White cardstock. The ink is Rose Red, and Chocolate Chip. The ribbon is a pack of coordinated ribbon from American Crafts. The punch is the spiral punch! I love using it! What a fun look of being torn from a binder. The stamps are Make it Count (hostess stamp set) and Looks Like Spring.

Another Tart and Tangy Card

I made this one tonight while waiting for the Jazz Game to start. It's basic, but I love it! It's all summery! It uses the Tart and Tangy set, Enjoy Every Moment, and for the background, Sprinkles. The Inks are Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, and Certainly Celery.

Finally some time

I had some time last night to make a card! And that was only because I couldn't sleep! I had fun though. I made many cards, but I was duplicating ones I already made, so this was the one I made that was new. This is using the Tart and Tangy set from the Occasions Mini Catalog, and the Hot to Dot Stampin' Around Wheel®, and the thanks is from hostess set Make it Count. The colors are Certainly Celery and Ruby Red. The strawberry is stamped in both the CC and RR, then cut out and layered. With the dotted background, I took my CC marker and filled in the o's. The torn edge is done with the Tearing Edge®.
