All Booked up Thank You

Thank you Card

Supplies

STAMPS: PTI All Booked Up, Cupcake Collection

PAPER: CTMH Cardstock

OTHER: American Craft Ribbon, PTI Button

Today’s card is a Thank you card I did over the weekend.  I really wanted the All Book up stamp set when Papertrey Ink first released it in July.  But since I purchased it I have found it difficult to use.  I am so happy to finally created a card using it.

Purple Birthday

Delightful Dahlia Birthday Card

STAMPS: PTI Delightful Dahlia

OTHER: Heidi Swapp Jewels

Today’s Birthday card is an ode to purple.  A friend requested a purple Birthday card so I made three to choose from.  This one is my favorite and happens to be one of the two she picked.

Christmas Chocolate Slider

Today’s share is a chocolate packet slider I made.  I found the instructions for this on Kerry’s paper crafting blog. I think these would make great stocking stuffers or teacher’s gifts along with a mug and maybe a gift card. I made up a bunch of these to have on hand for any last minute gifts and use up my old Christmas paper.

A Christmas Thank You

Today I have a Christmas thank you card to share. Since I have gone digital with my scrapbooking I have found it more cost effective to make my Christmas cards digital.  It is still quite a process but that has more to do with my two boys then anything else. I wrangle the boys and take what feels like a million pictures (really it’s about 200) and hope that there is one good one that I can use to create our Christmas card from. Then in Photoshop I use a digital kit to create a 5x7 and have them printed at Costco. But I do like to send thank you cards to our wonderful and thoughtful family so this year I am making them.   Hopefully I will have the Christmas card photoshoot and will be able to share with you the highlights or out takes I’ll just have to see how it goes.

Baby Girl Bundle of Joy

Today I have the baby girl card I made to even out my baby card stash.  It didn’t turn out quite like I was planning and a bit crooked to boot but it is finished.  I was a bit short on time to finish it or I would have ripped everything off and re did it to make it straight (I still might). Oh well, that is life with boys, everything is full speed ahead.

Baby Boy Bundle of Joy

Today’s card is a baby card I made to replenish my stash.  When my first son was born I made up 4-5 baby boy cards with the left over scraps from the scrapbook pages I made for him at the time.  He is now five and I have finally used up all of those baby cards.  I didn’t think it would take this long but everyone I knew that was having a baby ended up with a girl.  Seriously, boys were few and far between.

Apple for the Teacher

The Best Teacher Card

Supplies

STAMPS: PTI Teacher's Apple

PAPER: Scenic Route, Close to my Heart

Today I’m going to share a card I made for my kids preschool teachers.  For this card I created a stencil for the apple to sponge on the color and I really liked how it turned out. I find that sponging ink can be a very easy technique that looks amazing, almost like airbrushing.
