Cupcake Time

Here is another card that I made to send to the sailors!

I used two different sets for this card. Crazy For Cupcakes and Perfect Punches worked really nicely together. Also, you can see even though the stamp set Perfect Punches coordinates with several punches you can still use it without the punches.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

B is For Birthday

I had the honor of making some Birthday cards to send away to some sailors that will then in turn send them to their family members. When I designed these cards, I wanted to make sure that they could be used for male or female and many different ages.

This card used Cajun Craze, Chocolate Chip, and Crumb Cake. This stamp set is Party Hearty.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings."

Truck Time

Countryside is a stamp set that is great for manly cards. I knew that the men in my life would like this one when this catalog came out. Justin loved this card when I showed it to him, so I was right!

I used Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard. All I did was stamp the image and did not worry about coloring it in. I added some words from my Fundamental Phrases set. The More Mustard paper was put through the crimper which reminds me of a tin roof or the side of a country building.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Isaiah 58:11 "The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail."

Gray Tones

Just Believe: Don't you just love this stamp set?! I can not get enough of it.

For this card I used Basic Gray (which is one of my new favorite colors to use) and Melon Mambo. This is a simple card that uses the tearing technique, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, and a pearl in the center of the flower.

Simple Elegance. You could also put just about any words on this card and it could be used for many different occasions!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Isaiah 58:10 "and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday."

Silver Inspiration

I had some leftover Silver from my baskets that I featured the other day so I just had to use it on a card!

I used Rich Razzelberry, Basic Black, and Brushed Silver to put this card together. If you look closely you can also see that I used a jewel in the center flower! I just had to add a little more glam.

This card is so simple, but with the silver it makes it so elegant.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Isaiah 58:7 "Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?"

Purple Baskets

This project was made by using the Baskets and Blooms Big Shot Die. Let's just say...I was very tired of this die once I was done.

I was asked to make 40 of these baskets. I was so thankful that they were in colors that I love! It helped the process!

The colors used were Elegant Eggplant and Brushed Silver. I just have to say that I love the Brushed Silver. I had not used it before and now I want an excuse to use it all the time.

For this shower they had an initial theme so I stamped the H (Broadsheet Alphabet) on the tag for the basket and she also brought out the napkins and had me stamp those, too. I thought that was a nice touch!

I also crimped some Brushed Silver to put inside the baskets.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Little Lamb

Okay....are you tired of seeing this stamp set yet? I know I am yarn crazy and when my two worlds collided I think I went even crazier!

This stamp set has been perfect to make gifts for my yarny friends! I found these sticky notes and could not believe how well they coordinated with SU colors! It is amazing how SU keeps their colors current with what is happening out there. This was just a fine example of that.

As you can see I had fun designing this and using different elements.

It is also always fun to make the card coordinate. That really shows them that it was all homemade. People seem to appreciate that these days!

What gifts are you working on?

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Red and Crumb Cake

I love this combination of colors! I needed a card one day to send along with a homemade item and the focus color for me was red. I happened to have some Real Red DSP in the closet and went from there.

I didn't know Crumb Cake would look so nice with it. I love how it is subtle, yet at the same time it isn't. I hope that makes sense!

The other thing that was different for me with this card was that I didn't use an image on the front, but rather just some words. I felt like the paper did all the work and all it needed was the words to top it off.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did! Take some time for yourself and stamp a little.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Birthday Calendar

Here is a great gift idea! Stampin' Up sells these Birthday calendars that are all put together and ready to go. All you need to do is stamp each page, wrap it up, and give it as a gift. I made three of these in one sitting and it didn't take much time at all!

I will let you enjoy the pictures!




Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Sunday School Gifts

Take a close look at these notebooks....can you tell what type of notebook they are? These are compositions notebooks cut in half! My mom came up with this great idea and shared it with me. I love the size and they look adorable after they are covered.

These two notebooks were made for a couple of girls in my Sunday School class for doing their homework each week. They seemed to like them when I gave them to them!

It is so much fun to make things for other people. These would make great Christmas gifts or Birthday gifts!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Fox and Friends: Thank You

Just as I promised, here are the cards that I made her.

Now this is a Britni design. I love when I can say that. I just sat down with the paper, stamps, and stamp pads and created. I love when it all comes together.

I knew she would need some thank yous for the shower or even after the baby comes. This is a great gift to help out a new mother. Homemade cards are always the most fun to send, too!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Fox and Friends: Baby Gift

Here is a picture of a baby gift that I gave to a friend of mine a couple months ago. Her nursery theme was a woodland theme so I knew this Fox and Friends stamp set would work perfect. I also used colors that coordinated.

The great thing about this gift is that it will probably get used and it is okay if it gets stained and only worn a couple of times. This project doesn't take long to make, but they turn out adorable!

Come back on Friday to see the thank you cards I made to give her, too!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Just Believe

This stamp set has become one of my favorites from this current catalog. I have used it a lot and it can be used for so many different occasions.

I was inspired by a card that I saw on another blog to make this card. I changed the colors to fit what I had in my supply closet.

I used Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard, and Garden Green for this card. I also used my Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder with my Big Shot. My favorite part is the new punch that is in the middle of this card. It is called Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border. I like it because it is a little different than just the scallop borders we have been using for awhile It just gives it a little different look.

Thank you so much for stopping by again! Have a wonderful week!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)
