Hula Girl

Here is a card I made with a "new" to me stamp set I just traded on SCS. The background of the card I cased from SCS. The card layout I got at Card Positing Systems, I've included the link below. Check it out if you've never been there before, it's an awesomest blog. I'm sending this card to some friends of our that live in Hawaii. It's hard to tell but the hula girl is popped up. I thought about adding some ribbon but I just didn't have room anywhere on the card to put it.

All supplies are Stampin' Up:

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, Very Vanilla

Inks: Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, Apricot Appeal, Creamy Caramel

Stampin' Up Cardstock

I just placed an order of Stampin' Up goodies for myself yesterday night. Really I should say very early this morning ( I was up very, very late last night). I finally orderd cardstock and designer papers. I know this may sound silly to the rest of you, but everytime I place an order I end up only getting stamps. Then I get my stamps and have nothing to stamp on.....I know silly! I have to say though when I originaly signed up as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator I did order several packs of the assorted cardstock in every color family. However, I quickly learned that I really don't use all the colors of cardstock that come in the assorted packs. What do you do with Glorious Green, Yo-Yo Yellow, Handsome Hunter and Bravo Burgundy etc.? If you have advice on how to sucessfully combine these colors with other cardstock colors to make something nice......please post a comment lettting me know.

Lily's Easter Card

This is my very first post and I just started my very own blog!!!

Here is the Easter card I made for my daughter Lily. She loves bunnies so I thought this image was perfect for her! I used my cuttlebug to emboss the background for the bunny. Now that I see it here, I'm thinking maybe I should have inked a little bit of color onto the embossed area. The bunny is popped up, I think it's kind of hard to tell from my picture.

Ingredients-

Stamps: CTMH A Birthday Wish

Paper and cardstock: Stampin' up Barely Banana, Stampin' Up Whisper White, unknown designer paper I had in my scraps.

Ink: SU Basic Black, SU Pretty In Pink.

Accessories: Cuttlebug folder Bloom Dots, SU wide grosgrain ribbon in Old Olive
