Clean and Simple Thinking of You

This is for the Clean and Simple FTL#157 here. The base is Peach Parfait card stock and I added some papers from the Just Add Cake DSP. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the tree from Trendy Trees in Chocolate Chip and Wild Wasabi. I also stamped the greeting from that set in Wild Wasabi. Finally, some 1/2 inch Peach Parfait stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.

Stamping 411 Sketch#216 Birthday

I made this birthday card with the Stamping 411 Sketch#216 here.

I popped it up with Stampin' dimensionals. I also stamped Happy Birthday from that set in Poppy Parade. I punched out a Whisper White circle with the 1 3/4 inch Circle punch and a Wild Wasabi piece with the 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. Finally, I popped up the entire scallop with Stampin' dimensionals.

Stamping 411 Sketch#212 Birthday Card

I made this for the Stamping 411 Sketch#212 here.
It uses Bring on the Cake and On Your Birthday stamp sets and Just Add Cake DSP.
The base is Early Espresso card stock and I added three papers from the Just Add Cake DSP. I ran some Early Espresso and Wasabi from Just Add Cake thru the Big Shot with the Top Note die. I used my Coluzzle circle cutter to cut the Whisper White circle and the 2 1/2 inch Circle punch for the Espresso circle. I colored the stamp from Bring on the Cake with my Early Espresso and Wild Wasabi Stampin' write markers. I stamped the number nine again in Wasabi, cut it out, and popped it up with a Stampin' dimensional. I stamped birthday from On Your Birthday in Early Espresso on Whisper White and punched it out with the Word Window punch. An Espresso piece was punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 1/8 inch Early Espresso taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

I made this bright birthday card for the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#158 here, and with the Stamping 411 Sketch#211 here. The colors of the challenge are Pumpkin Pie, Basic Gray and So Saffron.
The base is Pumpkin Pie card stock and I added some DSP from the Playful Polka Dot Simply Scrappin Kit. I ran a piece of Basic Gray thru the Big Shot with the Striped Textured Impression Embossing Folder. I added a piece of Saffron DSP from Just Add Cake. The rectangular Pumpkin Pie polka-dotted piece is a die-cut from the Playful Polka Dot SS Kit. I stamped the balloons from Crazy for Cupcakes in Basic Gray ink on So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Gray card stock. I added the wish big sentiment from Pennant Parade to the Pumpkin Pie one and popped it up with  a Stampin' dimensional.
Finally, some 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain finishes it off.

Wish Big

I made this quick card for the Splitcoast Sketch#340 here.  It uses the stamp sets Four Frames and Pennant Parade and the Just Add Cake DSP.
Wild Wasabi card stock is the base and I added two patterns from the Just Add Cake DSP. I ran a strip of So Saffron thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch. I stamped the frame from Four Frames in Wild Wasabi and used the Decorative Label punch to punch it out. I stamped wish big from Pennant Parade in Peach Parfait and the asterisk in So Saffron, punching it out with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack. I popped the asterisk and the entire Wasabi frame up with Stampin' dimensionals. Finally, I threaded a Pumpkin Pie Brights Designer Button with a sliver of Wild Wasabi and adhered it with Glue dots.

New Catalog Sneak Peek!

I got my pre-order today and couldn't wait to play with it and share this card I made using new goodies and the Stamping 411 Sketch#206 here.
The base is Wild Wasabi card stock and that's one of the many colors in the new, Just Add Cake DSP. I ran a piece of Wasabi thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch. The stamps are from the new Pennant Parade stamp set which coordinates perfectly with the Petite Pennants Punch. I stamped them in Peach Parfait, Wild Wasabi and Poppy Parade and punched them out with the punch. I threaded some Early Espresso/White Baker's Twine thru the pennants and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals. I used the Wild Wasabi Stampin' Emboss Powder on the "wish big" sentiment and Peach Parfait on the star. I cut that piece down a bit and layered it onto a Wasabi piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, a Real Red Designer Button finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Pennant Parade
Papers: Whisper White, Wild Wasabi and Just Add Cake DSP
Inks: Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Wild Wasabi, Versamark
Accessories:  Wild Wasabi Stampin' Emboss powder, Petite Pennants Punch, Espresso/White Baker's Twine, Stampin' dimensionals, Modern Label Punch, Real Red Designer Button, Dotted Ribbon Scallop Border Punch
