Sister Birthday Card & Ink-redible Offer!

No, this isn't a card for my sister, it's THE sister card to yesterday's PPA Challenge. Meaning, I made two versions of this layout, one more masculine and today's more feminine. By changing up the elements and the trim, I felt like the Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight card was more for a woman than yesterday's card.

What do you think? I love to read comments, so please do leave one below!

Itty Bitty PPA Color Challenge

Hi! It's Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge time and YOU are invited to make a card, scrapbook page or project using the above colors! Be creative, inventive and take a leap! We always have three "picks" that are showcased on our site, so please join us!

The focus on this card is the center panel. I framed it with the Finishing Touches Edgelits in Riding Hood Red. 

They match the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and perfectly frame the snipped and punched images from Pennant Parade stamp set. I popped up some stars from the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set.

The sentiment is stamped in Riding Hood Red from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set. 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope to see your submissions at the PPA site. If you need any Stampin' Up! to complete your projects, please use my Website to order.

Happy Birthday - Party on a Card

I made this for my daughter's birthday. Since I sent her a gift in the mail, there was room in there for this fluffy card. I loved making this flower.

After I made the flower, I sprayed it with Vanilla Smooch Spray! I love the dazzle it brings to anything you spray it with.

I hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoy reading your comments!

Birthday Cupcakes

Sometimes inspiration is just a catalog away! In the 2010-2011 Catalog and IDEA BOOK, page 130, you will find the card that gave me the inspiration for my card today. I didn't have the exact stamp sets, so I improvised, using Itty Bitty Bits and Fundamental Phrases.

I made my own pedestal (instead of stamping it) out of Early Espresso card stock, then matched the tiers using the same Dotted Scallop Ribbon border, which is cut in half for each tier. If you haven't used your Catalog and Idea book for inspiration, check it out. If you need a Catalog and Idea Book, you can add them to your Stampin' Up! order for 9.95 (122202) Use my website to place your order.

Itty Bitty Beauty

The August issue of Stampin' Success, which is a Stampin' Up! publication just for demonstrators, had a card similar to the one above. I used it for inspiration in creating my card. Using the Itty Bitty Bits shapes and Itty Bitty Shapes punches makes this card a snap to create. It's final size is too big for the 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" mini envelopes, but this card would make a beautiful tie on for a gift bag, and the card would jazz up the bag in a big way!

Card Supplies:

Card Stock: Textured Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Whisper White

Stamps: Itty Bitty Bits

Ink: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze

Extras: Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Basic Pearls, Stampin' Dimensionals

Pals Paper Arts #43 Memorial Day

This week's challenge at Pals Paper Arts is "Memorial Day." This is our day as a nation to remember those who have given their lives for our country's freedoms. Sometimes we take those freedoms for granted, so let's not forget what the holiday is all about. I hope you will create something to show you remember, and check out all of our Design Team submissions for your inspiration if you need it.

I used a new stamp set, Itty Bitty Bits for the four round images on the Night of Navy strip. They are punched out with the circle punch from Itty Bitty Punches! How cute are they? My stars were punched from Whisper White and the Star punch, and I used the Ticket Corner punch for my Real Red and Night of Navy mattes. The sentiment is from the stamp set Define Your Life, a very handy set that will always be in my "keeper" section of stamps.

Shopping List:

Card Stock: Whisper White, Real Red, Night of Navy

Stamps: Itty Bitty Bits, Define Your Life

Ink: Real Red, Night of Navy

Extras: Ticket Corner, Itty Bitty, Star punches
