Figured it out

I think I have figured out what was wrong with the last card. I fixed it up a bit by dry embossing the green panel and punching out the corners with the ticket corner punch. I like this version much better.

Please see the previous post for the recipe list.

Can't decide

I think something is off about this card. I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe once I see it posted it will come to me. Maybe it is just fine and I have to resist the urge to put more on. :)

Stamps: Animal Crackers

Ink: Black

More swap possiblities

I am still trying to decide what my swaps will be. I need some simple ones that I can make a bunch of but I also need two sets of ten that are wow swaps for one I signed up for at regionals. So here is one of the simpler ones that I am thinking of doing.

Stamps: Big Birthday Candle

Ink: Black

CS: Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore, Yo Yo Yellow, Rainbow Sherbet

Other: Ribbon

Swap card

I am starting to make swap cards for the upcoming Stampin' Up! regional in April. This is one that I think I will do. My scanner certainly dosn't do well with colors. I think I will have to start learning how to use my camera instead. Anyway, here is the card. What do you think? Good enough to swap?

Stamps: Branch Out

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Rose Red

CS: Always Artichoke, Kraft

Other: Always Artichoke Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Cutter Kit

Another Guy card

This is a birthday card with the great new stamp set And Many Mower. I am also showing a picture of the inside. I used to leave my cards blank inside so people could write whatever they wanted but I have found that most wanted the inside pretty too so that's what I have been doing with them lately.

This new textured designer paper from Stampin' Up! is awesome. It is much heavier than the normal patterned paper and just slightly textured. All items by Stampin' Up! (except the white cardstock)

Oh and a Happy Saint Patricks Day!!

Baby Cards

There are three women where I work that are pregnant right now. My baby card supply is low so I made up a bunch this weekend. I stopped at JoAnn's to pick up some adhesive and this cute stamp somehow made its way into my basket. :)
