Afternoon of Stamping with Friends - June 2007

I made this card with a friend and her daughter per their request. Actually I decided we were making a triangle-fold card during our afternoon of stamping and they picked the colors and stamp set. It turned out pretty good I think since it was a complete whim as far as the stamps and colors. First time in a long time I haven't cased someone else's idea, or at least not on purpose.

CARD RECIPE:

Stamps: blooming with happiness
Paper: pale plum, perfect plum, old olive, ds paper, whisper white
Ink: basic black
Accessories: eyelet, retired su cord, blue organdy ribbon,
Techniques: triangle-fold card
Difficulty (1-Easy 5-Advanced): 2

We also made the following card. It is a complete case other then colors which my friend's daughter picked out. I'm sorry I don't recall who I cased it from. She had been wanting to use this stamp set for a while and her favorite color is green so I quick looked up a design I knew would take too long to make. This was the third card of the day and I was starting to lose some of my patience. Hyper and indecisive don't mix well with me for a long period of time and this just happened to be one of those days.

Card 2 Recipe:

Stamps: Reason to Smile
Paper: Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive

Mother's Day Joke - May 2007

I made this card for my mom for Mother's Day. There is a story behind the crab being on the front... she was in Mexico for her 30th wedding anniversary and encountered a huge crab blocking the door to the hotel door and claimed it snapped at her and wouldn't let her go by. No one else saw the crab except her and so she's been getting teased about it ever since. HEHE!!!

CARD RECIPE:
Stamps: Crab & Company
Paper: Spring Flowers, Mellow Moss, So Saffron
Ink: Basic Black, So Saffron, Mellow Moss, Regal Rose
Accessories: Spring Moss Grosgrain Ribbon, Scoring Blade
