Stampin’ Up! Best of Brides & Babies!

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Today I have fun assignment! I'm picking up my granddaughter, Maddie Kate, from Camp Hope this morning to take her to her Cheerleading Practice! Her mom, Jessica, is a counselor at Camp Hope this week (it's Ava's first year as a camper; she is super-duper excited!), so she asked me to do the honors for her so she could stay at camp. This is 3rd/4th grade week, so the kids are pretty young and need alot more attention than other weeks (at this age they have to be directed to do just about everything!), so it's important she stay close to her room of little girls.

So YAY! I'm looking forward to spending a little time with MK today!

Today I'm sharing a "cute" little card using the Best of Brides & Babies 25th Anniversary set! The images in all of the "Best of" sets are miniatures of the originals, so sometimes they are actually easier to use than ever before!

All products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I CASED this card from somewhere, if you know, please let me know so I can give proper credit, will you?

Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, & Whisper White give this card a feminine but bold look! It's hard to see in the picture, but I sponged some Illuminate Glimmer ink on the Crisp Cantaloupe Deco Label around the "cute" phrase to give it just a little bit more pop, and the onesie was stamped on Crisp Cantaloupe with Jet Black StazOn, then cut out to paper-piece. The tiny little heart on the onesie was highlighted with a White Gel pen.

Inside the teddy bears stamp from Best of Brides & Babies was used along the bottom, along with the words from One in a Million. A Small Heart punched from Crisp Cantaloupe was layered with a Basic Black heart punched with the Owl Builder punch and topped off with a Basic Jewel Pearl.

Well, that's all for now, I'm off to go pick up Maddie Kate! It should be a fun morning!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Owl Anniversary!

Posted on June 30, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Yesterday was a fun day! I went to my aunt & uncles 60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration, and I was able to see relatives I haven't seen in years, talk & laugh with my favorite cousins, and see pictures of my ancestors I had never seen before!

I took several pictures of the pictures (I figure that's the only way I will ever be able to have copies, right?) and I want to share a few of those with you at a later date (some have interesting stories), but today I want to share the card I made for the celebrated couple:

This card is a souped-up version of one of the cards we made at my "Best of" class this past Friday. Not too hard to figure out, the bow for her hair was made with 2 of the hearts from the Owl Builder Punch and his bow-tie was made with the cut off feet from the same punch!

The inside phrase is from the Best of Brides & Babies 25th Anniversary Collection set, I added the "both" with my Basic Black marker.

I finished off the envelope with the Fancy Fan folder embossing the flap and a Secret Garden leaf framelit.

That's all for now! I'm off to Sunday morning church!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
