Partridge and Pears

Oct 252014

Finally ordered some fun and beautiful Christmas sets from Stampin’ Up. I couldn’t decide which set to use first until I checked out this week’s Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. This was one of the first pictures that I saw, and the decision was made… “Partridge & Pears”, of course!!

Are partridges blue? Well, this one is!

This card is also playing along in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge “Anything Goes”.

Happy Crafting!

Double Digits

Oct 142014

My twin granddaughters are turning 10. They are into double digits!

The cards I made for them have a fun surprise on the inside.

The pop-up holder can be used for a gift card or even the old fashioned green stuff.

Falling in Love

Oct 112014

This week’s challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to be inspired by the phrase “Falling in Love.” So playing with the word “Fall”ing and the word “Love”, here is a wedding card in the Fall color orange.

After stamping the main image, the banner was stamped below and a sentiment added. The banner was then partially cut out across the bottom. Washi tape was added to the card base above and below the image panel.
