Candace's Horse Show

Candace had her first horse show on Saturday.  We're so very proud of her.  What does this have to do with stampin' you ask?  Well...

She's wearing Stampin' Up's Night of Navy Striped Grosgrain ribbons in her hair, of course!

BEAUTIFUL!

Nature Walk

This is one of the cards the guests made last night at Meredith's party.  The stamps used were from the Nature Walk and Tiny Tags stamp sets.  The colors are Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla card stock with Basic Black ink.  The fibers are Baja Breeze Seem Binding Ribbon and Linen Thread.  It was fun to see the creative variations the guests made with the Nature Walk set.

A Simple "I Love You"

Here's a simple, elegant card that uses one of the stamps from the Four Frames Stamp Set.  I like the richness of the black and how it pops on the regal rose cs.  I wanted the stamp to have the same richness, so I used a VersaMark stamp pad and black embossing powder.  It was just the right touch. 

Gift Bag for Hostess

I recently made the small butterfly card at my upline's house.  Because of its size I thought it would look perfect as a tag on a gift bag.  A background stamp and Rich Razzleberry ribbon were the perfect touches to pull it all together.  I am going to present this to my hostess this Friday with a little surprise inside.

Baja Breeze Bonanza

When I won the Springtime Vintage fabric at a team advent, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it.

Here is my first attempt at a ribbon board.  I love how it turned out.  I used Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon and Vintage Flower Adornments to help embellish the board.

And now for something to add to the board.  Here is a diagonal double pocket card made out of the Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.  Paper daisies, an antique brad, and seam binding ribbon helped to bring it all together.  Now the card is ready for a note and a gift card.

I used one of the Four Frames stamps to make this thank you card.  The stamps in this set are designed to be used with the Decorative Punch.

You may notice that this card follows the same pattern as the card above.  It just has one less layer.  Now let's see how it all came together...

Trust me when I say it is much prettier in person.  Along with the cards, there is also a petal cone, a fan-fold flower, and a flower embellishment made with the Big Shot.  Sorry about the lack of lighting and shadows.  Still an amateur with all of this.  I promise to get better.  Thank you for stopping by today!

Petal Cones

 This petal cone was created using the Bigz Petal Cone die and a Vintage Flower Adornment.  Couldn't you see this petal cone used for a bridal or baby shower or a girl's birthday party?  They are perfect for holding a chocolate favor or any small treat or gift. 
 

The Sprintime Vinatge Designer Series Paper, an antique brad, and seam binding ribbon were used to make this beautiful petal cone.  I used cellophane to hold the treat, but tulle is another good alternative.
