No Coloring?!?

WOW- Julie- nothing like a hard challenge there :) I am a teacher- I LOVE to color! I was putting some of these 2.75x2.75 cards together for gifts and thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to play in Julie's challenge over at Paper and Such. I used all a*muse|studio products on these cards and you can see the list of them down below. If you need a good gift- these are perfect- I made several (and you'll see them here and there this week) that fall under various occasions. These two are just good "friend" ones- birthday, thinking of you, etc. They are the perfect size to slip into a gift bag, on a present, or on a co-worker's desk just to say thanks or thinking of you, etc. If you are interested let me know and I'll work out a deal for you :)


Recipe:
Stamps- Friend to Friend
Ink- memento black, cherry
Paper- kraft, red gingham, sugar

*no coloring tools were harmed in the making of these cards :)

Happy Birthday

My friend Julie, over at Paper and Such, released this great masculine set a couple of weeks ago. It's called Deer Dad and it's available over there now! I'm keeping this post short and getting right to the info. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Recipe:
Stamp- Deer Dad
Ink- Chocolate Chip
Paper- Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Jillibean Soup dp
Accessories- sponge (I sponged Chocolate Chip ink on the outer crumb cake piece) and twine

Life is a Gift

The challenge over at the Paper and Such blog was to create a card focusing on the sentiment. I decided to use this quote from the Water Lily set at Paper and Such. I pulled out some of the SU papers to match the colors in the dp (which I can't remember who makes) and stamped my sentiment right on the dp. I also pulled out my cherry twine from a*muse|studio and made it look like a gift. Enjoy and Thanks for looking!

Recipe:
Stamps- Water Lily by Paper and Such
Ink- Memento Black
Paper- Real Red, Baja Blue, and dp
Accessories- cherry twine

A Smile

Time for a non-a*muse post :) My friend Julie started the Paper and Such online store back in May- here we are 2 months later and she has just released her brand new stamp sets. Now, Julie has super fast shipping (and I am so impatient and deal with a slow mail service) so when I got this today I knew I had to play tonight! I was perusing my google reader earlier and saw this post over at the Moxie Fab World blog to be Fanatical about Botanical. This set is perfect for it! I kept it CAS to showcase the set! Thanks for looking and if you check out Julie's store you will see birds and chickens also :)



Recipe:
Stamps- Waterlily (Paper and Such)

I made this card for the Paper and Such challenge! It was an inspiration challenge and I just adored the picture.


I drew my inspiration from the pastel colors!

FYI- the stamp, the MME paper, and the ribbon are all from the Paper and Such online store!

Happy Birthday to You!

My friend Julie, who just opened the online store Paper and Such. I ordered the night they opened and Julie got my order out ASAP. I ordered this cute My Mind's Eye paper- LOVE it. I decided to use this paper with my a*muse|studio Happy Birthday stamp. You can find this stamp and others HERE.

Also- due to the Blogger issues last week I am extending the a*muse|studio catalog, button, and ribbon giveaway until Wednesday, May 18. You can see the details HERE! Right now- the odds are good :)
