Happy Birthday Dear Sister!!!

TODAY is my big sister Barbara's birthday! LOVE you sis!!! The rest of our family celebrated last weekend while we were out of town, so today I'll be giving her this card I made for her! I adore my new Texturz Plates for the Big Shot and "had" to use two different patterns to create this card. Both were accented with white craft ink to make the texture pop, and I couldn't resist using a yummy Corduroy Button! So sad to see Pacific Point retire! :(


Stampin' Supplies:
PAPER - Pacific Point, Whisper White, Pink Passion, Tangerine Tango
INK - Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Pink Passion Marker
STAMPS - Razzle Dazzle (in the NEW 2009-2010 IB&C)
OTHER - Corduroy Button, Sizzix Texturz Plates (Small Dots, Flourish), 5 Petal Flower Punch


AND...here's today's sketch!

Happy Father's Day...Yeah Summer!

Yesterday was my monthly Ladies Night workshop and I had two projects lined up. First we tackled this fun Fathers Day card.
Using the
Big Shot we ran some card stock through with a Texturz plate. Then adding layers of different colors to create a faux woodgrain. Whisper White, Close to Cocoa, Riding Hood Red, and Chocolate Chip Craft! It was fun to color and cut out the little tools from the Totally Tool stamp set and mount them with dimensionals.

I designed the following sketch earlier this week with a dual purpose. It's not only the basis for the second Ladies Night project...a Summery 12x12 scrapbook page, but it's what I posted this afternoon as today's sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers!
