Swirly Bird Birthday

These stamps are just so much fun!  Check out this one I made this weekend.  I started with Flirty Flamingo for the base and stamped the flowers in Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.




I especially like the Gold Foil Mat.  Remember to get the most out of your paper by using the part of the mat that isn't visible for something else.  See the bottom of this post for what I did for this one.




Recipe:

Base:  Flirty Flamingo - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Mat:  Gold Foil - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 5" x 3 3/4"

Inside: Whisper White 5" x 3 3/4"

Stamps:  Swirly Bird, Cottage Greetings
Ink:  Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy
Stampin' Write Marker - Sweet Sugarplum

To make the two shades of flowers, I stamped once, then again without re-inking for the lighter shade.



Here is the leftovers from the mat.   You can see I simply cut a large rectangle with my paper trimmer to make a "frame" which turns into the mat.  Now I have a good sized piece left over for making something else or for die-cutting.




Thank you for looking in today.  Make it a great week!  ~ Donna

March Thank You Notes

My apologies for being MIA the last couple of days.  My mojo was on vacation and I just couldn't pull anything together after the crazy work week we've had at the office!  For those of you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I work for the county election's office.  When it is election time, we work long hours and I'm lucky to make it to my pillow before crashing.  Next week is Arizona's Presidential Preference Election so no promises on regular postings!  :)

And now on to the fun part!

Last weekend was our March workshop, so here are the little thank you's that I'll be putting into the girls bags.  Clean and simple.


Recipe:  
Whisper White Card Stock - 6" x 3", scored and folded at 3"
Real Red - for the Heart Die (from Cups & Kettle Framelits)
Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack
Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies
Stamps:  Cottage Greetings 




Thank you for looking in today.  Have a wonderful weekend!  ~ Donna

Have you checked out the great card kits in our new 2015 Annual Catalog?  I can hardly wait to get my hands on them.  A perfect kit of cards to have when you need a quick card or make them all up ahead of time and stamp the appropriate greeting as you need it!

Check out this video below.  If you are reading this in an email, you will need to go to the link for my blog at the bottom to see the video.



I'm having my Open House today with all my retiring stamps - I'm so excited to have the girls over.  I'll be sure to share some pictures tomorrow.
