Unfrogettable Stamping!

Birthday Cake Big Shot club project

While blog hopping I came across this great birthday cake box idea here and decided it would be a good project for my Big Shot club this month.  I used the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP as well as the coordinating colors in the papers - rich razzleberry, crushed curry and melon mambo.

The flower on top is one from the Pretties kit that is dyed with an aqua painter and the rich razzleberry and melon mambo classic ink pads.  The color of the cute corduroy brad in the center is summer sun, but was a good match with the crushed curry.

The inside of the box opens up to reveal a 12 x 12 scrapbook page - how fun!  The cake itself is embellished with the new butterfly punch and a half-pearl from the Pretties kit. The birthday cake is created from the Big Shot XL birthday pop-up cake die.  Normally if you use this diecut in a card, it gets squished and isn't as pretty... I love how the cake looks so great in this box.  Here are some more photos for you to view... my club members loved this project!

 

Another SAS card... two ways

Here is another card I had at my stamp-a-stack earlier this week.  This card is a CASE of one my sister Cindy B. came up with for our Summer Shoe Box Swap get-together with my downline earlier this month (you can see her card as well as the others from that day on her blog here)  I changed the colors on my card but kept the same layout.  The stamp set featured is our hostess level 2 set Asian Artistry.  It's very pretty and one of my favorite hostess sets in the new catalog. Call me today if you'd like to earn this set for FREE!

I swapped the mellow moss and almost amethyst layers and used a different image from the same stamp set for this second card pictured below.  I still am amazed at how color plays such an important role in the feeling a card conveys.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have an unfrogettable day~

One Card, Four Ways~

Forgive me for being away for so long, but summer is a very busy time around our household.  My 3 kids are active on their swim team and we've had a lot going on with that this month! 

I wanted to share with you a card I came up with for my stamp-a-stack tonight.  I try and keep these cards simple and relatively flat for mailing purposes.  I used four of the new In Colors (Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry & Dusty Durango) along with the versatile new SU! exclusive Impressions Folder for the Big Shot called Elegant Bouquet and my favorite go-to word set Sincere Salutations.

  

What do you think?  Aren't they great?  It's amazing how rotating the texture piece gives the card a whole new look and each color gives the cards a unique feel.  Each card was finished off using the white Signo gel pen along with the wide oval punch and stampin' dimensionals.

Thanks for looking!
