Birthday Card for Liberty Grace Williams

Liberty Grace Williams is the daughter of Andrew and Michelle Williams, very dear and special friends of ours. Liberty's birthday was on Wednesday, the 27th and she turned 4 years old. This afternoon Andrew and Michelle had an open house birthday party for Liberty from 1 pm to 5 pm. We didn't go over until almost 3 pm.

This is the birthday card I made for her. Michelle and I discovered later that last year I used the same stamp, only a different layout. Michelle said Liberty wouldn't realize it so it was okay. I thought it was so funny. I must say I love using this stamp set for little girls because little girls think they are a princess anyway. :) I used one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders on the light pink layer and the white piece. The border punch is one from Martha Stewart. The coloring was done with Copic markers. It is pretty girly girl!!

Tinker Bell - Thank You Cards

It has been a few months since I've sat at my craft table and created. A friend wanted some thank you cards. She had a birthday celebration for her daughter's 1st birthday on Sunday and the theme of the party was Tinker Bell.

I went online to find some Disney stamps, specifically Tinker Bell. I did find some and ordered them.

The party colors were purple, yellow, green and blue. The card base is actually a plum, the only color I had close to purple. I was going to keep the card simple then decided to do something in the inside of the card. I used my Copic markers for the coloring.

I made a total of 12 cards. I think they came out pretty cute.
It was fun being back at my craft table. I have a birthday card to make for the daughter of another friend who is turning 4 years old.

New Look

I gave my blogs a new look today. Both of them look a lot better than they did. I had to change the template on this blog. The template I had didn't look good at all with the background I picked out.

Tell me what you think. Check out my "Betty's Ramblings" blog too. Just click on it on my sidebar.

I'll be back to stamping very soon. I actually have a card order to do. It needs to be delivered the first of next week so I need to get busy. I appreciate all the hits on this blog!!

Wedding Card for Josh & Becca

My grandson, Joshua William Kitamura was married on September 5, 2009 to Rebecca Pieprzyk in Grove City, PA where in May they had graduated from Grove City College. After a 2 week honeymoon in Maui, HI, they came back to San Luis Obispo, CA to live. This is where Joshua grew up. On October 3rd they had a reception for friends and family that couldn't make it to the wedding. This is the card I made for them. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. I think it took me all of about 10 minutes to make the card. It is white on white, the card base is white which opens on the bottom. I then cut a layer 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches and ran the top portion through my Cuttlebug with the Birds and Swirls embossing folder. Then using my ScorPal, I scored a line under the embossing and 3 lines at the very bottom. I stamped the Congratulations between the score lines, punched out 2 butterflies using one of Martha Stewarts punches using designer paper and a sheer blue ribbon. And I was done. Hope the kids liked the card!! :))

Another SCS Card Swap

I mailed off the last SCS card swap I had to do. Actually it was a card kit. It had a long list of components to the kit. I hope I got most of them. I made up a sample, took a picture of it, made copies of the picture and included it in the kit.

I'm not sure if I am happy with the card. It is really not my style of cards. I think this is maybe the last SCS card swap I will do. I did 4 SCS card swaps, 1 for A Muse and then an image swap for a small stamp company in Pennsylvania. By the time you get everything put together and mailed, a lot of time is involved and then there's the expense of mailing them. You have to include a stamped return envelope with it too. The one I mailed today cost me over $5 in postage. That doesn't seem like a lot, however, if you're doing several, the postage adds up after awhile. They are fun. Now I just have to sit back and wait for the cards that will be mailed to me.

Here's a link to the card.

Facebook Link

I tried the link and it works. However, I had to copy and paste the link into my browser. Hope it works for you. :))

SCS & A Muse Card Swaps

I uploaded some pictures of cards that I have made for different card swaps I found on Splitcoaststampers and also one I did for A Muse Art Stamps. Since Blogger is not cooperating with me in uploading my pictures onto my blog, I am sending you that read my blog, a link from Facebook to view them.

I am hoping this works. If this works then I will do the same for the cards we made at our August 29th Shoebox swap.

Enjoy
