Caribbean Flowers

This card was made for the Sketch Challenge today at SCS. I so appreciate the daily challenges, even if I do not get the opportunity to participate in them all. They make me think of sketches, colors, techniques etc. that I may not of done on my own. I punched the Cool Caribbean with the Label punch. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the word happy. I then stamped the happy on the back Regal Rose with Craft ink and embossed. Stamps: Polka Dots & Paisley, Circle of Friendship

Paper: Rose Red, Cool Caribbean, Regal Rose, Petals & Paisley DSDSP

This is for today's Color Challenge on SCS

I just had to use things from the Spring mini bundle. I also had to try to make the brackets from the Tab Punch. If you want to learn how, just ask!

The word happy is embossed. I embossed the brad with Certainly Celery Craft ink dipped in Iridescent Ice to give it some sparkle!

My Cardstock Holder

Well it finally happened....I outgrew my hanging paper holder. I mentioned to my dear Husband what I would be interested in and he sat right down and drew it out. By the weekend he had it built ready for my new In Colors to come and fill in the shelves. I started moving things and he asked "What are you going to do with your punches?" I had planned on leaving them piled on the shelf. 30 minutes later, I had a punch holder, that I now get to fill up :) One very happy stamping wife!

ETA:I've now had to add more slots for my punches as I filled the existing ones up.

Etched Glass Plate

This is the plate I made my father-in-law for Christmas. They are so easy to do. Directions can be found at SplitCoastStampers. I cut a circle, did the center train and then over masked that to do the rail on the outside.

Good Morning!

Happy Anniversary Heath & Lois!

I have had this card on my list of things to do for a very long time.  Our eldest son and his wonderful wife celebrate their 5th anniversary today and I could not think of a better card for them.  For those who want a tutorial, it can be found on Splitcoast.  It was not as hard to make as I thought it would be.  The designing is what took me so long (about 3 hours) but now that I know what I am doing they should go a lot faster next time.
