I had to play with this set and this color combination one more time. I am really loving the two dp together. I used Friends and flowers ss skit and Au chocolat. I did a circle with the chocolat paper and then cut it to fit the side of the card. The friends and flowers piece was cut with my creat a cut and the ric rac was created with the creat a cut as well. On the right side of the friends and flowers piece I stitched the edge with my sewing machine. I also used my linen bg stamp and chocolate chip on the caribbean cs. The flowers were stamped in creamy caramel, so saffron and chocolate chip. The edges were rolled in the chocolate chip ink to give them more dimension. I used my signo gel pen to add dots to the flowers. I put stickles in the centers to give them sparkle. The grosgrain ribbon is Stampin'Up!Thanks for looking!

Masculine birthday

My husband's boss is having a birthday tomorrow and I was asked to stamp! Dang I hate when that happens. I started with buckaroo blue as my base and stamped it with chocolate chip and my linen bg stamp. The next layer is chocolate chip distressing the edges with scissors and paper piercing. The next layers are Au chocolat dp that I used my brayer and chocolate chip ink on. The dry embossed layer is done using my birthday cuttlebug folder on chocolate chip cs. I distressed the edges with my scissors and then added copper cord. The words were done on buckaroo blue and sponged with chocolate chip then distressed with scissors. I stamped the words with chocolate chip craft and embossed with clear ep. I added copper brads to finish off and hit them with my hammer to make them look a little older. Thanks for looking.

doodle this sympathy

My husband had a co-worker lose his Father yesterday. He asked me to play in my stamp room. I started with a chocolate chip base. I used copper flashing and put it through my cuttlebug textile folder. I used my ticket punch on the corners. The chocolate piece behind the vanilla piece was edged with copper pearl ex and an aquapainter with future floor wax in it. I stamped my swirl and with sympathy with chocolate chip craft ink and embossed with clear ep. I used my copper pearl ex and aquapainter floor wax to do the detail work. I sponged the edges with chocolate chip and added copper brads and prima flowers. The ribbon is grosgrain from Stampin'Up!

Tropical delight

Oh my! I had so much fun with this one. Do you ever know when a card is done! I am in love with this one and want to make a whole bunch to match! I started with cool caribbean as my base and stamped it with my paisley bg stamp in cool caribbean. I used my scallop blade on my create a cut at the bottom. I used my Friends and Flowers SS kit for the embellishments on the bottom. I paper pierced above the so saffron dot border. I stamped my Rhonna Farrer swirl stamp in chocolate chip and used clear ep on it. The ribbon is from Michaels. I stamped my Island Blossoms (I love this set and will keep it forever!) and cut them out. I used my signo gel pen to put dots on the petals. I cut out the dp and chocolate chip centers with my asterisk die from cuttlebug. One copper brad is used in the center of the big flower. The small one I just used my stardust stickles to give it a little sparkle! Thanks for looking and enjoy the possibilities!

Oh, I almost forgot! I have been tagged again! Thanks to My Inky Fingers :http://myinkyfingers.blogspot.com/ I think most of the blogs I read have been tagged already. With that said, if you are reading this and you haven't been tagged, consider yourself tagged!

Trying to decide if I should share this or not! Someone might like it so here it is. It isn't my favorite, but I didn't have lots of time to work on it, so it is what it is.

K heres my supplies I used chocolate chip cs as my base. I used my cuttlebug swirl folder just a little over half way up. I pierced a line across the top of where the swirls stopped. The celery paper is from Stampin"Up!s new pallete o'prints 6x6 paper. I used fancy flexible phrases, snap stamps, and wonderful words in chocolate chip ink. The swirls are done in certainly celery and I used doodle this and the little swirl from fancy flexible phrases. The striped ribbon is from Jody's ribbon share. I also stitched the half circle at the top with my signo gel pen. Thanks for showing interest. I was really thinking this one was a dud!

I have been tagged! Wendy over at http://sunnywl.blogspot.com/ tagged me. Check out her blog. So now I will try and give you 7 facts about me.
1. When I was growing up I hated pizza! What kid hates pizza? I did love shrimp though and my parents would order pizza with shrimp on it. I finally learned to like it. Still don't care for peperoni though.
2. I used to chew my fingernails. Yucky! I finally put on fake ones and left them on for a long time so I wouldn't chew. I still have trouble, if I chew even one I have a hard time leaving it alone.
3. My father was killed in a car accident when I was 4 years old.
4. I love cats! I have had at least one pretty much my entire life. My kitty I have now was rescued by a neighbor. He wasn't even 6 weeks old and he had a huge chunk out of his back and his eyes were glued shut. She nursed him back to health and then he came to live with me. His name is Quasimodo (Quasi) and he has extra toes on his paws.
5. I used to hate country music to the point of sitting in the back seat with my ears plugged so I didn't have to listen to my parents yucky country stuff! Along came Brad Paisley and now I love it. Can we say Yummy! I still don't like the old stuff though! ;)
6. I have been a Stampin'Up! demonstrator for 10 years! I love stamping, it is my stress reliever. I try to stamp every day!
7. We have had chickens, pigs, a goat, rabbits, two ferrets, several dogs, numerous cats, fish, birds, a turtle. Hmmmmm... basically a farm. We live on one acre of land and we loved having lots of responsibilities for the kids when they were younger to keep them busy!
