Just For You!

As you can see I am having some scraps that work as stripes for a card. I wanted to use the pieces that were just floating around on my table so I cut a few more and made this design.

How simple can it be?! I love to make simple cards (they are also easier to mail that way!)

I used the same Vintage Vogue stamp set with Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, and Early Espresso for the words. This card would work great for many occasions so that is why I chose to say "just for you." It can sit in my card box and be ready for that last minute card.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

"You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds." Psalm 65:5a

Friends

Are you tired of this DSP yet? I'm not! You will get to see a few more cards with it this week. (I just have to say that I still have some left and when I make these cards I make several at a time!)

I needed to send a couple friends a thinking of you card so I used Vintage Vogue for this card. The flowers in the background were fun to stamp with two different colors (daffodil delight and tangerine tango) and I really made the Friends stand out by using Early Espresso. I also used Early Espresso on the words at the bottom of the card. For the DSP I just cut a strip the size I wanted, tore it in half, and used both sides. I like the texture it gives to the card.

I hope you get time to stamp this week.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

"Our lives are in His hands, and He keeps our feet from stumbling." Psalm 66:9

Thank You Flower

Here we are again with this lovely In-Color DSP. As you can see I did about the same with it on the bottom of this card. I just changed the image because I need a lot of thank you cards for that week.

I just have to say that it is so much fun to sit down, make a bunch of cards, and then mail them all out right away. I love it! We have to keep the post office open some how. :)

I used one of my top two favorite stamp sets. This has been int he catalog for awhile and I just really still can't get enough of it. It is called Inspired by Nature. I colored my stamp with Old Olive and Daffodil Delight (background color) and then stamped the image. I also stamped the Thank You (Thank You Kindly stamp set - I have used this so much since I got it recently) with Chocolate chip.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

"Praise the Lord; praise God our Savior! For each day He carries us in His arms. Our God is a God who saves! The sovereign Lord rescues us from death." Psalm 68:19-20

DSP Baby

I spent some more time with my In-Color DSP pack. It is amazing how many cards you can get out of a small package. I love it!

I needed to make some cute and quick cards to send out that week, so I got to work. For this card I used my Baby Bundle stamp set as I wanted to send a card to one of my friends who is expecting. I added a little DSP at the bottom and a jumbo brad. Simple, but cute.

Check back tomorrow for another idea with the same DSP.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

"My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection." Psalm 71:1

Button Bracelets

These were so fun to make. Mom and I spent a weekend together when our guys were out of town. We had so much fun making these bracelets.

All they take are some beautiful Stampin' Up buttons and stretchy jewelry cord.

You can make two bracelets out of one container of buttons and we even had some buttons left over.

I am considering doing a class so leave a comment if you would be interested in a class.

Thanks for stopping by. I can't believe it is April already!

Happy April! Britni :)

"My health may fail; and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever." Psalm 73:26

Yarny Lamb

Here was the other card that we made that day (the one with the knitting needles). There was a request to add yarn to the card so I came up with a couple of cards and I like the one with the knitting needles because then we would actually get to knit at our stamping day, too!

The knitting needles are toothpicks! How simple and cute.

There is always something fun that you can throw on a card to make it different and unique. What ideas do you have for different supplies to use?

Thank you for stopping by this week! Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

1 John 4:10 "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."

Top Note Lamb

I got to do a make and take class with some of my knitting friends. It was so much fun to incorporate our knitting into our stamping! This card could easily be modified for a different stamp set, though so don't just run away if you are not a knittier.

I am crazy for this In-Color DSP pack because that is what we used here, too. We cut out the Top Notes and then we used the frame from the Top Note on the inside (sorry forgot to take a pic of that). I love these buttons! I used the Regal set of buttons for this project. It is easy to layer them using the twine. I punch two holes in the paper, string the twine through, then string the buttons, and tie a knot. This makes the buttons very secure.

As you can see I rounded some of the corners and also added some fake stitching to add another element to the card. We had a lot of fun making these cards!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Kissing Flowers

Kissing Flowers!? Well, it is true. This technique is called the kissing technique because the stamps have to kiss.

What you do first is choose a dark color and a lighter color. You stamp the main image with the lighter color (the flower) and then you stamp the dot image with the darker (Dot, Dot, Dot). You place the two stamp together and then you stamp onto your paper. This is how you get the dots on the flower. I love this technique. It is easy and fun. I also love the results! If this does not make sense then ask me to demonstrate the next time you see me!

The colors I used for this card were Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke, and Peach Parfait DSP. I also used a glimmer brad for the center of the flower! I always love a little sparkle without the mess of glitter!

I hope you like this card as much as I do. Have fun kissing with your stamps!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Job 23:10-11 "But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside."

Fabric Flowers

I couldn't decide what to do with the beautiful fabric that Stampin' Up is providing for us now. Someone suggested to use it on a card. I thought that it would look cute cut out with the Big Shot. I used my Flower Folds Die in order to do this. I then layered with a circle in the middle and then a brad to top it all off. This fabric is nice and thick and the colors are so rich.

I can officially say that I own all the Embossing folders now. I just love all of them and can't get enough of them! This folder is called Elegant Lines. It gives such a deep impression and between it and the fabric this card didn't need anything else.

Take some time to check out the fabric. I bet you could come up with some fun ideas of ways to use it. Let me know if you think of something. I would love to try some other ideas!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)


Psalm 73:25-26 "Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever."

Build-A-Bear Thank You

We are still with the Build-A-Bear. The same time I was making that birthday card Jady needed a thank you card to send to her Bama. I decided that it would be a good idea to use the girl bear for this card.

I also still had out the In-Color hostess level one DSP pack. I took three scraps that were different colors and layered them. How simple, but cute. I then placed the bear on the Rose Red that was also the base color of the card. I used my Aqua Painters again as you can see on the bear.

I have to say that this stamp set is adorable and makes really nice "kid" cards. I think I will be using it more in the future and someday Jady can use it.

Thanks for taking time to stop by.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Jeremiah 29:11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
