A Wacky Whippet ...

Today's card is for my friend, Charlotte, who also has a whippet.  I wanted to give her a card to say thank you for my birthday lunch and gift card.  As I was uploading my photo, I realized that I've already sent her a card with this same  whippet stamp (here).  Oh well, at least I used a different layout and color and I've already written on the inside so it will still be heading her way.  

Stamps:  Made for You, Whippet (unknown)
Paper:  White, Black
Ink:  Memento Black
Accessories:  houndstooth embossing folder (CB), ribbon (unknown), Prisma Markers, pop dots
All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great weekend!

Fall wheat ...

When I made this card, which was last week, I started with a sketch but the image was too big so I ended up just focusing on the designer paper.  This card will be heading to my GA brother.  He has a field up the street from his house that I always call the wheat field.  It really isn't a wheat field but it sure looks like it to me. 


Stamps:  Always Thankful
Paper:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, White
DSP:  Simply Delightful (MME)
Ink:  Early Espresso, SU markers ... Old Olive, River Rock, More Mustard
Accessories:  blender pen, spritzer, pearls, Cherry Cobbler ribbon, sponge dauber, Nestabilities oval dies
All supplies are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

Hello Pumpkin ...

I'm having such a great time with coloring pumpkins and making fall cards this year.  Love this stamp set by Verve.  Today's card was inspired by this week's MOJO sketch ... 

This is what my inky fingers created ...
Stamps:  Bountiful Harvest (Verve)
Paper:  White, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Summer Starfruit
Ink:  Memento Black, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Summer Starfruit
Accessories:  Swiss dots and swirls embossing folder (CB), sponge dauber, Copics, Signo gel pen, Nestabilities circle and scallop dies, ribbon (Non SU), glimmer brad
All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.
  • I sponged Summer Starfruit and Old Olive around the pumpkins.
  • I added a little white dot on each scallop.  I've seen a lot of cards done like that and really like the look.
  • After embossing my white panel, I swiped my ink pad over it to ink only the raised dots.
  • I made a double bow (can't really tell by the picture) and finished it off with a glimmer brad.  

After over 21 years of being a stay-at-home mom and volunteering, I am heading back into the working world.  I think I've found the perfect job for me.  A new Michael's is opening up near my house so I applied and got a position.  I am excited to start this new venture.  My daughter said "Talk about adding fuel to the fire."  I thought that was so funny ... and so true.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,
Pam~
