Playground Appreciation

I'll admit, I still haven't fully gotten on board with documenting family events with Project Life, but I do LOVE all of the pocket cards!  And they help in making quick and CUTE cards...just like these!

These two cards are for my youngest son's pre-school teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week...and the Playground pocket cards and embellishments were perfect!!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, Silver Foil, Project Life Playground Pocket Cards

Ink ~ Island Indogo

Stamp Set ~ Lots of Thanks

Other Supplies ~ Spiral Boarder Punch, Banner Punch, Strawberry Slush Bakers Twine, Project Life Playground Embellishments

 

This has been, by far, my favorite set of PL cards and I have used them for a TON of teacher projects.

 

Don't forget to thank all of the teachers in your life this week!

 

Happy Stamping!



Mother's Day in Paris

As I anxiously await the arrival of my new pre-order goodies from the upcoming 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalog, I can't help but go through all of the retiring sets I own and play with them one last time. 

 

Postage Due has been a favorite and another that I am sad to see go away. 

It just happened to be the perfect stamp set for a French inspired Mother's Day card a friend asked me to make for her mother-in-law. 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Typeset DSP

Ink ~ Memento

Stamp Set ~ Postage Due, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Other Supplies ~ Postage Stamp Punch

 

I love how striking a black and white/very vanilla card is!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

 

Happy Stamping!
