Blog hop, stamp release and another sneak

It’s time for a Paper and Such stamp release! So hop along with us to see what the Paper and Such design team has to show and to meet the new girls that are joining the team!

If you arrived here out of thin air, turn around and head to the Paper and Such Blog for the beginning of the hop. If you came from Kim O’Connell, then you are in the right spot and may continue to look at my cards!

My first cards I have to show you are ones I made for my son’s 3rd grade teacher as a gift using Wild Rose. What I love about this set is I just stamped the outline, stamped the solid flowers with distress inks and watercolor in the leaves with distress inks! Wording is computer generated.




For the second card I wanted to go with just the two nuts from Tree Graffiti. I cut the sentiment apart as I wanted it to go long ways. Colored the nuts with copics.



Of course I saved the best for last. I wasn’t planning on doing what I did below. Already had this great idea in my head when oldest asked if I would make cupcakes for her to take in to school for a birthday. She said the birthday girl liked strawberry so I made cupcakes with a piece of strawberry in the middle and then plain buttercream icing that I colored pink.

They also worked perfectly for the last set called Bitty Love! So I had to make cupcake toppers! Colored the images with copics and layered them on matching cardstock. All cut out with spellbinder oval/scallop. I attached them to straws with a little piece of cardstock in the back.

Of course oldest about freaked when she saw them and said “you are  taking those off, right?” I guess high schoolers just aren’t into that kind of thing! But I know if I were to make these for my younger kids to take to school on Valentine’s Day… everyone would think their mom was the coolest!

These are also for the challenge (Valentines for Kids) over at Send A Smile 4 Kids.

And before you go.. another sneak at my room. Of course what you see in the picture now probably won’t all be there when I get done. I keep reorganizing where to put everything! But it is coming along nicely and is already a big difference than what I had before.



Now hop on over to Pattie Goldman to see what she did with these sets.
