Mint Macaron

Since I had the diagonally lined designer series paper from last week out, I used another color for today's card.  A few years back one of the In Colors was Mint Macaron.  Even though I did not care for the color, I held onto a pack of the cardstock and I still have the Designer Series paper from that year.  And it is good I did, as now Mint Macaron is a current color.  I used the Mint Macaron paper and cardstock on today's card, following a sketch that was on Pinterest for the layout.  The sentiment is from Pretty Pink Posh.  This card is definitely more girly than Friday's card.  Have a great day!

Tip Top Taupe Birthday

A masculine birthday was on my mind as John has a birthday this month.  In my quest to use things I haven't used for awhile, all Stampin' Up products were used on today's card.  The stamp set for the seahorse and shell is By The Tide.  Once again I used the Decorative Label punch for the sentiment and layered that on an enlarged decorative label that I cut on my Cricut a long time ago.  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Pretty Daisies

I love the smaller Daisy punch from Stampin' Up.  When the girls were here last week, Nancy and I were playing with the center part of the daisy.  We finally decided on using the cardstock color of choice, stamp the center image (from Daisy Lane stamp set) using Versamark and emboss with clear embossing powder.  I then used old Early Espresso embossing powder and look how perfect the center is!  Nancy reminded me that we have the smaller circle punch from a while ago and it is the perfect size, 3/8".  The Note Tag punch from years ago made a perfect tag.  The cardstock I used for this card is from My Favorite Things.  The color is Whip Cream and I like it because it is not exactly white, but it isn't as dark as SU's Very Vanilla.   It reminds me of the term "winter white".  Have a great day!

Henry

On Friday night we had a little visitor for a sleepover.  Henry's foster mom had a wedding to attend and didn't want to leave the little guy alone for that long.  He was so cute and a joy to have around the house.  On Saturday, Henry found his forever family.  His new family adopted a really good, loving and smart little puppy.

Today's card is a remake of one I saw on Pinterest.  I used the Daisy Lane stamp set and long retired Stampin' Up Bashful Blue ink and cardstock.  Each daisy twas stamped twice.  I colored the centers with a SU marker and I see they need to be touched up somewhat. The sentiment was stamped with white pigment ink and then embossed using white embossing powder.  This one I will be making again in different colors.  Have a great day!
