Baby Shower invites

Greetings!

I was asked to make 30 Baby Shower invites for a friend of mine. Here they all are spread out while the 2 way glue dries with dazzling diamonds on the stars. I used last years Saleabration stamp set (love it, keeping it)...as well as this year's Saleabration designer paper. On the barely banana strip I ran it thru my Big Shot with a texturz plate (tiny dots) to add some interest.
For large quantities of cards (example when I made Baby Gift thank you's last year) I love ordering the note cards and envelopes from the Catalog. You get 20 prescored card bases + 20 white envelopes.

Anyway I have my All Occasion class tonight so I'll share those cards this week.

Have a great day!

i'm back

Hello on this sunny, spring day!
Thanks for all your advice and well wishes! I kept my 10 yr old home for the following 2 days once Chris went back to work, lived on T3's and muscle relaxers and gradually my back got better. 2 days ago I went to a Massage Therapist (ouch, so not a spa massage!) so things seem to be getting better! Thankfully :)
OK, onto stamping, since this is my stampin' blog!

For my March clubs I wanted to introduce Watercolour Wonder crayons. For the first project - the mini pizza box they watercoloured the mini card using aqua painters, crayons on watercolour paper. LOVE using this techique! OH, did you notice I used my new embosslit too - the flower on the top of the box! The embosslits are made to cut and emboss as it goes thru the Big Shot. For the leaves we just used the small oval punch, folded in half and sponged with ink.

For the 2nd project - the Easter Card they used the crayons and directly coloured on the rubber, got it wet and then stamped. Not sure if you can make it out but the card is on a hinge and opens upwards....inside it says 'Easter Greetings'.

Hope you check back soon as I'll share the cards the ladies made at my All Occasions class last night. Plus some pic's from our Palm Springs holiday!

Have a wonderful weekend,
Kerry

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Mine started out great by having a dowline meeting here at my house last night. It was a fun night of stamping, chatting, laughing and of course eating some yummy baking!

This was the make n' take the ladies made last night. I purchased the instructions from Becky Roberts. You can view her blog for more details about her projects here.

I love how this project uses 3 of the items you can choose free during Stampin' Up's awesome promotion - Saleabration. I used the Stamp set - Polka Dot Punches, Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper and the coordinating ribbon bundle in Certainly Celery.

You can see in one of the photo's the clever little secret door on the bottom of the box so you don't have to ruin the top by opening it! Love it Becky!

Next I'll be sharing the great swaps I received in the new catalog/Saleabration swap that we had! Stay tuned!

Happy Stampin'
