ICS Blog Hop Girls Night Out

Welcome to May's Blog Hop - Girls Night Out!  Everything Girly!

I chose the free stamp set we got in April's Paper Pumpkin kit.  Love it!

I pretty much used the example as what Stampin' Up! did with their Thank You flyer that came with the stamp set. I just changed the background DSP using the Melon Mambo designer stack, and my card base I did in Whisper White for a cleaner look.

 The colors I used are Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Old Olive and Basic Gray.

Lined the envelope flap with the same DSP I used on the card.

Next, hop on over to Anna Smith and see what she has created for your girls night out!

It's a Love Thing

This months theme is "It's a Love Thing", such a great time of year, I also celebrate my anniversary in February.  23 glorious years with my best friend.

Stamps:  Bloomin' Love

Inks:  Rose Red

Paper:  Rose Red, Blushing Bride, Love Blossoms DSP 6x6 stack, white glimmer paper

Accessories:  2" circle punch, 2-3/8" scallop circle punch, paper piercer, Happy Heart embossing folder, pearls

2x5 piece of Rose Red was embossed with Happy Heart embossing folder, a piece of 1-1/2 x 4 1/2 and a smaller 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 strip for the DSP.

ICS Blog Hop Giving Thanks

Yah for fall!  My favorite time of the year.  I was inspired by the scenery in my neighborhood and right outside my stamp room.  Also, I was able to use one of my favorite stamp sets, Sheltering Tree.

I love a simple and clean card.

Stamps:  Sheltering Tree, September My Paper Pumpkin

Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Early Expresso, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow

Accessories:  Raffia from My Paper Pumpkin Sept kit, dimensionals

 Hop on over to Nichole Smith and see what inspired her "Giving Thanks".

ICS Blog Hop Fall for All

Oh Boy!!!!!  My favorite time of year!  I just love fall with all the colors and the cooler weather, (yes I'm one of those wierdos who likes cold weather).

I have chose to use the September My Paper Pumpkin kit a little different than what is in the kit.  I just love the stamp set that came with it, so versatile.

For my card, I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Very Vanilla.  For ink colors, there are Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay (even though it doesn't look like the card stock in the picture, it does in person), Crushed Curry.  Used the raffia in the kit and put a metal rimmed pearl in the center of the bow.  The punch I used was our Decorative Label punch.

Hop on over to the sisters and see what Darla and Nancy have created for you!
