Big Top Birthday Quick Accents

Happy Friday, crafting friends...

How about closing the week with a trio of bright cheerful cards? They all come from the Big Top DSP and coordinating Big Top Birthday Quick Accents which make creating come quickly :)

The sentiments come from Perfect Words stamp set which is in the hostess section of the Idea Book & Catalog. I tried my new Dazzling Details on the hot air balloon (sorry for the oops...)

This is my favorite sayings :) I think it will be a good way to go card. I love that lion jumping through hoops :)

Thanks for peeking, crafting friends,

Forever Young hello

Hello there, crafting friends...

If you remember my post here, I stamped a bunch of these cuckoo clocks (in Island Indigo ink) on these cast away office supplies :) and they are sitting on my desk :)

So, I took one of them and made it into this Hello card. It is layered onto So Saffron card base, First Edition Specialty DSP and punched out Hello sentiment from the Posy Punch hostess stamp set in the Idea Book & Catalog.

A spritz of Rich Razzleberry marker and the Color Spritzer Tool, glitter brad and rhinestones finished it up.

Thanks for peeking...

Tiny Teacup

Hello there, crafting friends...

Well, I meant to post this earlier but I am training for a new job this week and it has been busy learning all new stuff at work :) So I am a little late.

Here is the FTL159 sketch that I am working on these cards. This can be found weekly over at the Clean and Simple Stamping blog and it is my fun Saturday morning activity :)

Here are my row of Tiny Teacups. This is a single stamp that is on the Idea Book & Catalog. I love the polka dot cups :) It was punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch. Perfect size. Everyone of these was mounted up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I paired the tea cups with the Domestic Goddess DSP as the background and my color combo comes straight from that patterned paper pack.

The sentiment comes from the Precious Butterflies stamp set in the hostess section of the Idea Book & Catalog. I stamped it in Basic Gray ink.

Here is another version since I have all my supplies laid out there :)

I added the Daffodil Delight elements there and Basic Gray button (from the Neutrals Designer Buttons pack) tied with white twine.

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping to you.

Tagtastic Congrats

Hello there, crafting friends...

Can you tell that I am not wasting a sliver of my DIY Gently Falling patterned paper from yesterday's post? :)

The small left over pieces became this card set that I had paired with the Spice Cake DSP and More Mustard card base.

I have also really enjoyed putting on the finishing touches like these Spice Cake buttons and Pool Party ruffled ribbon. {heart}...

I hope you enjoy.

Happy stamping,

Liza

Gently Falling 2

Good morning, crafting friends...

Since I still had my Gently Falling stamp set and the Spice Cake Product Suite (from the current Holiday Mini catalog) on my desk, I made a patterned paper with it that you probably had seen a snippet on my post here.

I really love the element of Pool Party color among all those warm fall colors, I find it really inspiring :)

So here are more samples with what I had made from my DIY patterned paper. I hope you enjoy...

That twill tape ribbon is really pretty together with these leaves images. I rubbed some Soft Suede ink and sponge dauber on top of the twill tape to make it look vintage.

Home made sentiment banner with the Perfectly Penned stamp set, More Mustard button tied with Bakers Twine and mounted up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here is another card made with the same DIY patterned paper - done on Naturals Ivory card stock. This is for a new team mate at work that we want to welcome :)

Color combo is: Pool Party, More Mustard, Daffodil Delight and River Rock.

Love that Spice Cake Designer Buttons together with the Twill Tape ribbon like this {heart}. Mmm...

Happy stamping to you,

Liza

Petite Pairs baby

Hi there, crafting friends...

My dear friend Bella requested this project - a quick card for a baby boy that is simple enough to mass produce but still cute :) so I got to work...

Confetti stamp set as a subtle background on the bottom part and First Edition Specialty DSP for the upper part.

The stamped images are from Fox & Friends and Funky Four stamp sets. I {heart} these both and use these a lot :)

Matching stamped envelope to finish off the look.

Thank you for peeking...

More sentiments

Good morning...

Here are the rest of my sentiment pieces from this post :)

Made this one to look like a tag.

And made this one on a different day:

I find that I like the combination of So Saffron card base with the First Edition Specialty DSP background paper :) That really sets off the sentiment panel nicely.

I also broke off a new roll of Twill Tape ribbon and found that it is a nice natural color that added to a project without overpowering it. {heart}

Thanks for peeking in today...

Hugs,

Liza
