Friday Favorites

Hooray for Friday!  

We have had quite the winter storm here this week, bringing us well over a foot of snow with layers of ice in between.  My kiddos had a few late starts and snow days, which made for kind of a crazy week around our house!  The snow has finally quit and we actually had some sunshine...with -3 degree temps!  At this point, I'll take any sunshine I can get!

I am so happy it's Friday and even more happy about Friday Favorites at SSINK!  

I am a little obsessed with the Party Animal Embellishments, which are my favorite this week!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pacific Point, Emerald Envy, Whisper White, Crushed Curry, Party Animal DSP

Ink ~ Pacific Point, Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango

Stamp Set ~ Balloon Adventures

Other Supplies ~ Balloon Pop-Up's Thinlits, Crushed Curry Bakers Twine, Party Animal Embellishments, Regal and In-Color Enamel Shapes

This suite is my favorite birthday bundle right now and is quickly helping me build my birthday card stock back up!

Urban Ungerground Birthday

Happy Monday Stampers!

 

And Happy 11th Birthday to my twins, Aidan and Hunter!

 

I will be honest...I really struggled with their birthday cards this year.  They have officially entered the tween stage, which well all know what that means...everything has to be cool, which means no more cute little boy cards.  But, never fear!  Urban Underground DSP came to my rescue and helped me in creating a couple of cards that they will {hopefully} like.

 

Aidan has been on a kick lately where he loves to work on his bike and wants to be a mechanic. Everything in the Urban Underground Suite in the upcoming Occasions Catalog was perfect for his card!

 

And being that they are twins, I always try to make them cards that are different, but also alike in some ways.  Hunter is all about hunting and can not wait to take hunters safety this spring.  The fun antlers from the new Bookcase Builder stamp set was perfect for his card!

 

  Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Delightful Dijon, Very Vanilla, Urban Underground DSP, Vellum

Ink ~ Basic Black, Basic Gray, StazOn

Stamp Sets ~ Urban District, Balloon Adventures, Bookcase Builder, Guy Greetings

Other Supplies ~ Hexagon Punch*, Urban Underground Embellishments, Silver Metallic Thread, Large Number Framelits, Stitched Framelits, Best Badge Punch

Celebrating my kids birthdays is always bitter sweet...time goes by so fast and the grow up way too fast.  I love every single moment...even the crazy ones!

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

 



 

Balloon Adventures Birthday

 Happy Tuesday stamping friends!

We had a snow day yesterday and it's looking like we will have at least a delay today...it's been snowing so much!  I'm not a fan of the cold weather, but I do like to look out my window and see everything covered in snow.

I was trying to come up with a fun wintery card with the colors from the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge, but some of my new stamp sets were begging to be inked up!

Since I'm about done with my Christmas crafting, I'm working on building my birthday card supply back up!  The soon-to-be-available Balloon Adventure set is so much fun and worked great with this color challenge!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White

Ink ~ Elegant Eggplant, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz

Stamp Set ~ Balloon Adventures

Other Supplies ~ Balloon Bouquet Punch, Subtles Enamel Shapes

 

Simple, but fun card!  I can't wait to send this out to a friend soon for their birthday!

Happy Stamping!
