Enjoy While You Can - Retiring Favorite

Sorry this didn't post sooner, I got it started and then "squirrel" and off I went to do something else and then before I knew it, the computer was off and I was headed to bed.  Yikes!

While I was making the card for yesterday, I decided to make another with a different piece of DSP and turn it on it's side.  I really like the brightness of these colors together.  So much prettier in person though!



Recipe:

• Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
• Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4" (then cut to 5 1/4" x 1 3/4" and the remainder will be 5 1/4" x 2 1/4") 
• Tutti-Frutti DSP - 4" x 1/2" (inside)
• Bermuda Bay - 4 3/4" x 3"
• Whisper White - 4 1/2" x 2 3/4"

Stamps:  Big on Birthdays

Ink: Bermuda Bay

Ribbon:  Calypso Coral 1/8" Sheer Ribbon

Thank you for looking in today!

Shopping supplies are the same as  yesterday which can be seen here.

Party Panda... yes, again!

These panda cards are just going to keep popping up.

This one was actually designed from one of the Make & Takes we did at a team meeting in December, but mine came out as a disaster (see the last picture in this post) so I knew I had to do it again and do it right!  

Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Tutti-frutti Designer Series Paper - 5" x 1" (punched with Banner Triple Punch) 
Whisper White Cardstock - die cut with Stitched Shapes (circle - just under 2")
Tutti-frutti DSP - punched with Balloon Punch (small balloon)

Stamp the Panda with the balloon onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  You only have to stamp the panda and just a bit of the string.  No need to stamp the whole thing.  Then using your Stitched Shapes Circle, die cut the panda.  After you've placed the Panda Circle onto the dotted DSP, you can hand draw the string and attach the punched balloon.

Inside I used more of the dotted paper and stamped the sentiment from Big on Birthdays.

This is what happened to my Make & Take, it is what happens when you rush and don't line the stamp up properly with the paper! 

See his hand and ear are stamped too high.  Sorry little guy!

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday (and another holiday for us!)

Ready for Christmas (for a Birthday)

I had a special request for a birthday card for a co-worker's daughter.  When I asked her what type of things she liked such as flowers, butterflies, etc.  She said she like dachshunds as they had them growing up and I immediately thought of "Ready for Christmas" and the sweet little dog there.  So here is what I came up with.

Isn't it fun when something comes together the way you think?

Recipe:
Very Vanilla - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Basic Black - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Coffee Break Designer Series Paper 5" x 3 3/4"
Very Vanilla - Die cut with Stitched Shapes - Largest Circle
Very Vanilla Scraps - for table and dog
Whisper White Scraps - for balloons and presents

Inside I wanted a BIG greeting so I used a stamp from Big On Birthdays.

Thank you for looking in today - Happy Monday!
