Happy Easter Wishes!

A couple of co-ordinating cards for Easter today!

Ruth Anne Lilley used the "Baby Blossoms" Occasions Mini set along with the cardstock colors of Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and Blushing Bride.The center of the Crumb Cake frame has been punched with the Wide Oval punch. Unfortunately, although the frame appears to be punch-able with the Decorative Label punch, it is actually larger than this punch and it has to be hand-cut with Paper Snips!

Cherri Gustafson created this card with the Occasions Mini "Build a Blossom" and "Blossoms Petal" punch. She used Iridescent Ice embossing powder on the flower center and the Occasions Mini "Something to Celebrate" Level 2 Hostess set "Easter Wishes" to finish off this beautiful card!

Slooowly I am getting better at posting to my blog on a consistent basis, which was one of my goals at the beginning of January. I actualy started after I returned from Leadership in mid-January, and have been building up ever since! How do you like it? If some of you would leave me a comment, I might be encouraged to offer you all some blog candy one of these days, how about that?????!!!

These next three cards are some of my favorites from this month's swap (although they have all bee SO GREAT, it's really hard to choose!)

Rene Watson used the "Scallop Square" punch on page 201 of the Big Catalog to highight the "Springtime Vintage" Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini catalog. She added some "Victoria" Crochet Trim and a Basic Jewels Pearl to the "sending Springtime smiles" greeting! Her color palette base is Old Olive and Not Quite Navy! Beautiful!

Sadly, "No Name 1" is how I had to label this card after I loaded it on my computer. It is such a beautiful card, but I can't give anyone credit! Whoever you are, you did a fantastic job, stamping and coloring the blossoming branch from "Easter Blossoms" on Whisper White before running it through the Big Shot with the "Square Lattice" Textured Impressions Folder. I love the extra little touch of the Basic Pearl in the little girl's bow!

Susie Wood tore her "Springtime Vintage" fabric from the Occasions Mini into strips before adding it as a background layer to this beautiful creation! She also used the Occasions Mini "Baby Blossoms" for her focal point flower, with the Crumb Cake stamped-off background stamp from "Charming" on page 130 of the Big Catalog before punching with one of our Circle punches and layering on the smaller scalloped square from the "Scalloped Squares Duo" die for the Big Shot! This is all layered on a Very Vanilla Big Shot "Lattice" layer which is then layered again on "Perfect Polka Dot" Very Vanilla for an elegant, tone-on-tone look!

Wow, seven days of posts in a row! Do you think I can keep it up? We'll see!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" day!

I’m a day behind!

Here it is Friday and I just realized that I didn't post yesterday! I'm sorry! Here's the next installment from my monthly swap! (and it's just about time to mail in the February swaps, so there will be more for you to see soon!)

Here's a beautifully elegant card using the Occasions Mini set, "Blessed Mother". The phrase, "you raise kindness to an art" is from "Vintage Vogue" on page 126 of the main catalog!

"Baby Blossoms" from the Occasions Mini was used for this card. The phrase, "with sympathy", is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" on page 157 of the main catalog.

I've been dying to show you this gorgeous card using both the "Framed Tulips" and "Manhattan Flower" Textured Impressions Folders. "With love & caring" and the butterfly is from "Thanks for Caring" and the Springtime Vintage Designer Paper is all from the Occasions Mini!

That's all for today. I'm putting the finishing touches on my "Do you need a Valentine?" Class tonight and tomorrow, and then tomorrow night my "Yes, Ma'am!" Stampers, my downline, are comint to stamp! Sunday morning will find me in the church nursery, and then Sunday afternoon I will be working on my cards for this month's swap! Lots of fun coming up! (If only I didn't have to clean my house, but hey that's what those two tall boys who still hang around here, eat my groceries, and make dirty laundry are for, eh?)

Until next time, have a "Stampingrox!" day!
