Control Freaks April Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our April Tour de Freaks!  Glad you could stop by and visit.  You may have come from Mary Brown's blog.  She does such a wonderful job.  Hope you are enjoying our Tour.

I have a couple of cards to share.  I made this card for our April Stamp-a-Stack.  This was my very first time to use the Summer Starfruit card stock and DSP.  The dashes on the DSP look like shooting stars...which gave me this idea.

Stamps:  Simply Stars, Perfect Pennants

CS:  Summer Starfruit, Pacific Point, Whisper White

DSP:  Sweet Sorbet

Ink:  Pacific Point

Misc:  Scoring tool to make big star dimensional, SU Dimensionals, Rhinestone Jewels

       Star punches---I just realized they are retired.  What's up with that?  We NEED

       star punches.  :)

------------------------------------------

My next card will be perfect for a male birthday.  I will be teaching it at next month's Stamp Camp North.  It is an easel card.  When you open it up, you see "Another great year, another great birthday".  It will be perfect for my brother in Idaho for his birthday.

Stamps:  Walk in the Wild, Another Great Birthday, Hardwood
CS:  Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Ink:  Basic Black, Soft Suede
Markers:  Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi

Wetlands with Sponged Mountains

Another Wetlands sample.  This card uses the same products as my other goose in the wheat card.  Since this card would take too long to reproduce for a Stamp-a-Stack, this will be a one of a kind for me.

Happy Stamping!   Judy   :)

Tour de Freaks --- New Catalog & Holiday Mini Blog Tour

Hello and welcome to July's Tour de Freaks!  Glad you could stop by and visit.  You just came from Julie Davison's blog.  Hope you are enjoying our Tour.

My first card uses a new set in our catalog called Wetlands.  I also used some product from the new Holiday Mini catalog that begins August 1st.  I've added the page numbers for the items used from the Holiday Mini Catalog to make it easier for you to find.

Using pastel colors is rare for me so I am loving how soft this card is.  I used the background stamp from Truly Grateful for the tag.

Need for Speed & Happy Father's Day

This was my card for the June Stamp Camp North at the Westminster Elks Lodge.  It is great for a male birthday or would be wonderful for a Father's Day card.  To make it even more appealing for the gentlemen, it has the Denver Bronco colors with the Tangerine Tango and Not Quite Navy.  The new Midnight Muse would be an even better pick for the Denver Bronco blue color.

CS:  Not Quite Navy, Tangerine Tango, River Rock, Whisper White
Ink:  Basic Black, River Rock
Ribbon:  Midnight Muse Stitched Satin ribbon

      and SU Dimensionals 

For those who still have fathers, please enjoy them and treasure the time you still have with them.  Every moment is so precious.  

For those, who like me, have lost our fathers, please say a prayer for them and remember the wonderful times you did have with them.  I like to think my dad is watching over me and is proud of the person I am.  I was born on my dad's birthday and my twin daughters were born at 11:20 pm and 11:40 pm....the day [or night] before my dad's and my birthday.  That was always special to me.  I was daddies little girl.  I just wish I could have helped him in the end.

Happy Stamping!   Judy   :)

Countryside for Jenny :)

On this card, I used all retiring product.  This was my first time to use Countryside.  Why did I wait so long?  Good Question.  Maybe because I buy too many stamps and can't possibly use them all before they retire.  :)  I made this card for my granddaughter, Jenny's birthday.  She loved it.  She's a little bit country at heart.  :)
