Bushel and A Peck

When Sydney was a baby,  I would sing "I love you a bushel and a peck" to her as we rocked.  My Dad sang it to Jen and Matthew when they were babies and even when they grew up.  Now I have Nipper, my little parrotlet, and I sing it to him.  As a matter of fact, for Christmas I received a piece of art/home decor from Sydney that has those words on it.  She saw it at Hobby Lobby and told Jenny she had to give it to me for Christmas.   It hangs above Nipper's cage.  When Sydney is here, she takes Nipper in her room and sings "a bushel and a peck" to him, too.  So when I saw that Lawn Fawn released a stamp set with that saying, I had to have it.   I made today's card for Sydney from Nipper who is singing the song to her.  So silly but so special to us.  If I only use the stamp set, Thanks A Bushel,  this once, it was well worth it.  The little bird is from Clearly Besotted's Some Birdie Loves You stamp set.  When I mentioned in a post the other day that I made cutesy things over the weekend, I was not kidding!!  This card is definitely cute, too!  Have a great day.

Just Saying Hello

Over the weekend I worked on cute cards and Halloween favors.  Today's card was created using my favorite stamp set in the Annual Catalog,
Bella & Friends.  I sponged the background with Distress Inks before stamping the images and sentiment.  Since the sponging was very light, I stamped directly on the card and then colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers. Between the cute Wonky Stitched Frame (Avery Elle Dies) layer, the cute little dog and the cute little bird, this definitely is a cute card! Have a great day!

Baby Cards

Today's cards were created using the Baby Bear stamp set.  The bears on both cards were stamped directly on  Whisper White cardstock.  The corners of the Marina Mist card were punched using the retired scallop
corner punch. The card is simple but very cute.  For the Melon Mambo card I started with the white card base.  The stamped bear layer was adhered to a larger piece of Melon Mambo DSP which was adhered to the Polka Dot embossed cardstock.  The Melon Mambo thick baker's twine is an adorable embellishment.  I then mounted the Polka Dot embossed layer on to a 1/8" thick piece of craft foam cut a tiny bit smaller.  The card is so cute but I had to add one of my favorite new embellishments~~a little Melon Mambo enamel heart.  Speaking of enamel shapes, SU is offering the enamel shapes for $6.75, a 25% savings along with a few other items thru September 7th.  You can check out the specials on my SU web site.  Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! 

Hello Fall

I hate to say this, but I can actually feel Fall in the air.  It was a beautiful day yesterday and it inspired me to use my small stitched leaves dies from Lawn Fawn together with Stampin' Up Fall colors of cardstock.  I used one of the Swirly Scribbles die for the base and added the leaves over it.   The 'hello" is from my most used stamp set, Watercolor Wishes.
A twine ribbon goes with the simplicity of this wreath.  After viewing the photo of the card, I do think a litte gold metallic thread would be very pretty intermingled in the leaves.  It looks like today is going to be another beautiful day~~enjoy!
