No More Boys!!

Alright...I promise, this is the last of my baby boy cards that I have to share (that is until any of my friends have another boy!!!) 

Anyways...I found a sample that inspired this card on Stampin' Connection by a lady named Mercedes Weber...what beautiful ideas she has!!  I was actually looking for some inspiration using the Scentsational Season stamp set and framelits...which...I have been profoundly inspired, and can't even imagine not owning those items!!  Anyways...this card utilizes the Holiday Collection framelits, and is soo adorable!  I just love it!

Recipe:
Stamps: Scentsational Season, Itty Bitty Banners, Distressed Dots.

Ink: So Saffron, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze.

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Naturals White, Baja Breeze, Baja Breeze DSP.

Accessories: Whtie Bakers Twine, Subtles Buttons.

Tools: Big Shot, Holiday Collection Framelits, Itty Bitty Banners Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, SNAIL.

 

I gave the banner a little rolled effect by using my paper piercer (the non piercing end) and just rolling each end in opposite directions.  I then put glue dots on both of the "valley" portions of the banner so that it wouldn't flatten out.

I just love the creative use of the stamp set and framelits!  The shooting stars are adorable, and soo fitting for new babies!  It would look just as adorable in pink also!  So Cute!  Just when you think you've seen all the creative uses for christmas stamps, you find that they are soo applicable to all season cards and crafting!!

Anyways, thanks for checking me out again today!!

Scentsational Christmas

Hello! 

I'm back with another card using the stamp set Scentsational Season! I just love this set, and the coordinating framelits make it just that much better!!  I am going to submit this in the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  I love getting my inspiration from sketches!  I can pick my stamp set/style of card I want to make, then my colours and go with it.  Half the job is done for me!  But this is such a cute sketch!  Lots of embossing on this card.  I love to add texture!  Check it out:

Recipe
Stamps: Scentsational Season.

Ink: Real Red, Gumball Green, Chocolate Chip.

Cardstock: Gumball Green, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple, Real Red, Be of Good Cheer DSP. 

Tools & Accessories: Big Shot, Paper Snips, Simply Scored, Snow Burst EF (retired), Fancy Fan EF, Holiday Collection Framelits, SNAIL, Sticky Strip, Stampin' Dimensionals.

I didn't heat emboss the images, but I think I will have my ladies (at the stamp-a-stack) heat emboss this with the peppermint sticks embossing powder.  It just adds a major wow factor, and smells soo good.  When you open the envelope you can smell the peppermint! Not only does it give it a great smell, but it also glosses up the mugs a little bit.  I also used my paper snips (one side of them, used like a craft knife) to cut a slit in the mugs to slip the straight end of the candy cane in the mug.  Thanks for checking me otu today!  Be sure to check out some of the other projects at Freshly Made Sketches for some inspiration!!
