Patterned Occasions

Patterned Occasions
Updating my blog again today - I'm stuck at home because of an historic snowstorm that hit the panhandle of Texas early Monday morning. Roads are closed, schools are closed and I'm home for the 2nd day in a row. What's a girl to do but stamp, stamp, stamp!

Here, I have used the Sale-A-Bration set Patterned Occasions. The pinwheel is easily made using the SU! Pinwheel Sizzlets Die. Definitely worth $4.95!

What a sweet baby card. Don't know of anyone expecting right now but I'll have a baby card ready just in case!

Here's what I used:
Stamp sets: Patterned Occasions* and A Word for You
Inks/papers/ribbon: Going Gray and Whisper White
DS paper: Neutrals Collection patterned paper
Big Shot: Chevron EF and Pinwheel Sizzlits Die

Oh, Hello

Oh, Hello
The Oh, Hello stamp set  is one of my favorites introduced in the SU! spring catalog - love the bold font and the chevron patterns!! Also from the spring catalog, the natural trim ribbon reminds me of burlap. Surprising to me, I like the delicate lace trim and doilies - they add an elegant touch to an otherwise contemporary card.

Stamp Set: Oh, Hello
Papers/inks card 1: daffodil delight, midnight muse, crumb cake, whisper white
Papers/inks card 2: daffodil delight, lucky limeade, calypso coral, crumb cake
DS paper: Summer Smooches
Big Shot: ovals framelits
Punches: extra-large oval
Embellishments: natural trim ribbon, delicate details lace tape, tea lace paper doilies
