Good Ol'Summertime

My Stampin' Up! upline gave us a challenge: make a project with the inspiration of "Good Ol' Summertime." It didn't take me long to pull out my "Tart & Tangy" stamp set and ink up the strawberries!

The card base is kraft with layers of whisper white and Summer Picnic DSP. I made the photo corners because I don't have the photo corner punch, yet... They are also paper pierced.


The swirls from "Baroque Motifs" was inked in old olive and the strawberries were markered with old olive and real red, then cut and adhered with dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!

Edited 5/29/08:
I was inspired by a card on SCS (as many of my cards are!) to use the swirls and berries. Sorry, I don't have the name of the person who first posted:(

Bright Friend

This is a make and take from regionals in Milwaukee in April. I am stamping new stuff, I'm just sending them out before I can get a photo of them. May is a very busy birthday month and I am a procrastinator...

This card uses the "So Much" stamp set and is folded into a gift card holder. The cardstock is real red, kraft, barely banana and soft sky.

Thanks for looking!

Sporting Stars

This is another card from my masculine class. The colors are Blue Bayou, Sahara Sand, Real Red and Whisper White. I wheeled the main panel using the "Classic Stars" jumbo wheel in Real Red ink. The "All Star" is from "Sporting" stamp set and matted with real red cs. The brad on the right side (should be on the lower left) is a build a brad. I just stamped the star from "Sporting" on ww with blue bayou ink and punched out with a 1/2" circle punch.


These brads are real easy to do and add a neat touch.


I have to tell you I was at a Cricut party this Saturday, thank you Megan, and was that fun! Now I want all of those cartridges. Too bad I have a rubber stamp addiction. I'll need another job to get my Cricut fix!
