Ruth's Cards, post 2

Here's one more of Ruth's card ideas.  I think it's called a split page technique? You stamp across an 8.5 x 11 piece of cardstock, in the middle, then turn the cardstock and stamp again in the middle. When finished stamping, you cut the sheet to panels that are 4.25 x 5.5, or smaller if you wish to mat them.

Enjoy, I think these turned out beautifully! 

The leaves are from a Stampin' Up set - Soft Seedlings, I think is the name (I borrowed this set from Shirley, so not sure). The sentiments are from an uber-awesome set that I got from the Ink Blot Shop. It's called Greetings to You, and I am in love with this set!

Hope you like them!

Thanks for stopping by,

Back again!

Hello again, fellow crafters!

I'm back with a few more of the last week creations that I finished but didn't remember to post!

A friend from church asked for 6 'cute' anniversary cards. She didn't want nasty, snarky, or profane, just cute. 

Here's what I came up with:

This one uses Stampin Up's Counting Sheep.

The sentiment on card and inside were computer generated.

Inside of card:

This card uses the old owl punch from Stampin' Up and a heart punch from Martha Stewart. The fence die is from Our Daily Bread Designs, and the envelope art is from a set I bought at Dollar Tree!

Sentiment is computer generated - pears are free clip art from the web, and the hearts on card and envelope are from the Dollar Tree set used in the owl card.

The beautiful adult beverages are from Stampin Up's 'Nothing's Better Than' set. The birds and waves are from Stampin Up's 'High Tide' set.

This one just used some pretty cardstock from my stash, and a piece of glittery paper from Hobby Lobby that I've had for a few years. The die cut frame is My Favorite Things, and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up, but I don't remember what set! I think it's an older Christmas set, but I'm old and forgetful, so who knows???

Last is this one using stamps from Ink Blot Shop and Our Daily Bread Designs. I did actually post this one last week!

Thanks for putting up with my hit or miss posts! I really am trying!

Next on my agenda is to purge! I have WAY too much stuff!

Thanks for popping in!

Hugs and blessings galore,

New stamps!!!

Hi all!

SO......I found a 'new to me' place to shop!  I happened to see a friend's post, where she used this uber-fun Scribble Rectangles stamp from The Ink Blot Shop, and had to have them!!!

Here's what I made using the smallest of the 2 scribbles in the Scribble Rectangles set:

And here are the other sets I purchased. I absolutely LOVE the larger 'sentence strips' in this Simple Sayings set. This set has 33 stamps! These sentiments will heat emboss SO nicely, and the Greetings to You set with the large YOU just rocked my world. Cannot wait to get that set inky!!!  

Ya'll just gotta go check out the cute stuff in this shop!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and smiles,
