Birthday Share

This is a CASE of a card that I received in a swap. I really liked the card, but the DSP is retiring, so I decided to make it with some of the new sneak peak DSP. The stamp set is Bring On the Cake (which is coming back to the new catalog). The colors are Wisteria Wonder, Melon Mambo, Elegant Eggplant, and Whisper White. The layout is very similar to yesterday's DCBC sketch, which I thought was pretty ironic, since I don't think they had anything to do with each other.

Thanks again, for stopping by and don't forget that tomorrow is Sketch Frenzy Friday.

Sneak Peaks

Okay, I couldn't resist. I'm now in Disney, but before the day before I left, I was supposed to be cleaning, packing, and getting ready for my trip to Disney World the next day, but my new stuff was just sitting there all lonely. I couldn't leave it in that state for a week, so the stamps just had to see ink, the paper had to be cut, punches punched, die cuts cut and you get the point. Anyways, so here is my CASE of the Stampin' Success Cover. I used lots of sneak peak stuff, including new stamp sets, DSP, punch, and colors. The stamp sets are My Friend and Delicate Doilies. The new punch is the border punch, the DSP is called Flirtatious, and the new in-color is Wisteria Wonder (my favorite right now). The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Wisteria Wonder, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper white.

And here is a slightly different version of the same card. Same colors and one stamp set, but this time the sentiment is from Hodgepode Happiness (a set that is retiring at the end of this month). I also used the new die cut for the scalloped circle layer.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peak. I'm not sure what I have in store for you tomorrow yet, but I do hope you stop by to check it out!

Another Because I Care

Here is another card that I made with the Because I Care stamp set and some of the new colors: Marina Mist (new core color) and Pear Pizzazz (new in-color). I also used Night of Navy as an accent color. And don't forget about the new ribbon and impressionz folder!

Because I Care Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak like I promised you yesterday. I was blurfing yesterday to find something that I liked to CASE to show you today, but then I forgot all my samples at work, so I was left to my own devices. I decided to try Mojo Monday again. I know it's Tuesday now, but I did actually create this on a Monday, does that count? Here is this week's sketch.

This uses the Level 1 hostess set Because I Care. I also used some of the new in-colors: Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, and Pear Pizzazz. This color combination is straight from the new Color Coach too. Since I don't have any DSP in the new in-colors yet, I created by own using the Presto Patterns DSP and my Stampin' Marker.  Here is my creation.

Thanks for stopping by. I have another share using this set tomorrow.

Sneak Peak and Sketch Frenzy Friday

As promised, here is my version of the sketch using two preview sets. But first, the sketch.

And here is my creation. I used Cute by the Inch and Occassional Quotes, both are hostess sets that will be available in the new IBC that is live on July 1. I also used some of the new colors, Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delightful, and then Whisper White and Chocolate Chip. Notice the ribbon and DSP? They are also sneak peaks. The DSP is called Greenhouse Gala.

If you'd like to see the other creations using this sketch, you can start by checking out Angela's blog here.

As always, thanks for stopping by. TC is in town on leave from Fort Hood and then leaves for Afghanistan on Wednesday, so the next couple of days I will be showing samples using current products. Next week, I will have more time to create using my sneak peak products for you, so stay tuned!

Where Have I Been? (Long)

Sorry again, I took a little hiatus. TC was in town on leave from Iraq, so I was spending time with him and doing very little stamping. He is now on his way back so I have started stamping again. I got all my new sneak peak goodies and have started to create with them.

But first things first, on the LNS board there is a 12 days of Christmas challenge going on. Post something every day until Christmas. This started last Friday, but I haven't gotten to my blog or camera until now, so I'm playing catch up. Here are samples that should get me through Day 5.

Day 2: Thought and Prayers

Remember when I was creating cards for a Stamp-a-stack using the same supplies to create both a Christmas card and non-Christmas card? Here is the non-Christmas card and since I promised no more Christmas cards, you'll have to guess what you Christmas card looks like (hint: I used Patterned Pines for the main image).

Day 5: With All My Heart Sneak Peak

Here is one of the cards that I made with the sneak peak items from the new Occassional Mini, available January 5. I used the clear block stamps for the first time and I did not notice any difference with regards to the quality of images versus the wood block stamps.
