I Stamped! And with New Catalog Goodies!

I'm baaaack! It's been WAY too long since I've gotten to stamp, much less post a card I've made. But lucky me, I've been working part time and that really interferes with my stamp time. I've had some days off lately and just got my pre-order of new catalog goodies so I had to make something!

I used the MojoMonday Sketch#241 here for this card. The DSP is from the new Floral District DSP. The stamp set is the new Betsy's Blossoms. And the ribbon is the new Daffodil Delight 1/4 inch Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon.

I truly hope to post more regularly cuz I've really missed creating things!

Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Betsy's Blossoms
Papers: Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry, Floral District DSP
Inks: Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Square Lattice embossing folder, 1/4 in Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain, Stampin' dimensionals, 2 1/2 inch Circle punch, Coluzzle circle cutter

I Got To Stamp!

I finally got a chance to stamp! I had to make my nephew's birthday cards so I was kinda forced to, but I sure don't mind! My absence is due to the fact that I got a part time job. It's nice to have an extra paycheck, but it really leaves little "me time". So bear with me while I adjust and find time to stamp.

I made this card using the Splitcoast Sketch#371 here. I used the stamp set Happiest Birthday Wishes along with the Big Top Birthday DSP.  Happy Birthday Jack & Brady!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes

Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Big Top Birthday DSP

Inks: Real Red

Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, 3/4 inch Circle punch
