Happy Birthday Pam
I made this card several weeks ago for the birthday of my upline, the talented Pam D'urso. I got so excited about the double bow that I decided to go ahead and put the card in my last stamp camp. Love it! I used a little bow making tool that I got several years ago (and never used) from thecardladies.com. That tool makes it very easy.
The card base is Basic Black and cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Then a mat of vanilla that is 4 x 5 1/4, followed with a red mat 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and then a piece of the Timeless Portrait DSP cut to 3 3/4 x 5. The Image Piece is cut to 3 1/8 x 2 5/8 and matted on a black piece of 3 1/4 x 2 3/4. I added one inch strips of strips to coincide with the sketch and decorated with a little bling. I did a double bow with Red Satin and the circle is the 1 3/8 inch and the circle image is stamped in Black Stazon on Very Vanilla and punched out with the 1 1/4 circle punch. I colored in the one flower with my red marker and added a single rhinestone to the center.

Stick Pony
This may be the most adorable card I have yet to make. How cute is this charming pony that literally came to life using, ink, paper and a sock stamp? Creativity doesn’t get any better than this. I needed a baby shower card this week and found this card on the Stampin’ Connection. It’s a variation of a case of a case. We also made it at my stamp camp on Saturday. Too cute!!!
Something I learned with this card: You can take turn Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon into any color you desire with a sponge and ink. It works great!

Summer Picnic
You’re a Gem
We made this adorable card at my August Stamp Camp. I cased the design from Anne Marie Hile, a fabulous designer. If you're on the fence about purchasing the Just Add Cake designer paper, this card should do the trick. Those butterflies are so darn cute & easy to make. After I made the sample, it dawned on me that instead of using Wild Wasabi ink for the sentiment, why not use Versamark and Wild Wisabi Embossing Powder? So we did!
