Little Pumpkin

I love this stamp set, Greeting Card Kids! I found out I was having a girl and just knew I had to get this set. I know I will use it a lot. The great thing about this set is that it features several different holidays.

Now, this card looks a little like Halloween, but with the big pumpkin it could still be Thanksgiving. I even used this card the other day as a thank you card. I love how versatile it can be!

As you can see there is nothing too complicated about this card with the Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie. I then also used Crumb Cake which is a Top Note cut in half!

Check this set out in the catalog. You just might have to have it! It is adorable. :)

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Georgia's Swap

Awhile ago I attended a meeting with several other stamping demonstrators. Those meetings are always very informative and fun! We usually make some fun projects, see some new and exciting ideas/techniques/products!

There is usually a swap that takes place and this time I did not take part in it, but my wonderful upline, Georgia, had an extra and she shared it with me. She did a lot of work on this card as you can see. She cut the tree and the bear. She embossed with her Big Shot the background. I think her card turned out adorable! If you look closely you can see she also used jewels! She used the Basic Pearls on the tree as ornaments and the bear is also holding one. What a great way to use those!

Thanks for such a great idea, Georgia!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Flores Suave - Spanish Catalog

This card was inspired by a card I made at a stamp fair awhile ago. I did change it a little and added my own touch to it.

The stamp set featured on this card is from our Spanish catalog called Flores Suave. I love this stamp set! The details in it are so pretty.

For this card I also used my heart punch, Eyelet Border punch, and our wonderful jewels! I love our jewels. For this one I used the Basic Rhinestone. The best part is that the sticky is already on the back of the jewel so you just carefully stick it to the card. They seem to stay on there nicely, too! I just can't get enough of these.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Cut In Half

This was a fun and different project to try. I have seen this idea several times on different blogs. All you need is a small notepad and cut it in half. I had my husband use his saw to cut it for me.

I then used some DSP (this is a retired DSP) to cover this outside and a little on the inside. That was all it needed! Now it is ready for lists of any kind.

Don't forget that when you are doing projects like this that will get a lot of wear and tear you will want to use a stronger adhesive such as sticky strip. When it doubt use something strong! That way you won't be disappointed later on.

Thank you so much for stopping by this week. I hope you enjoyed all the ideas!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Thanksgiving Card

I love this stamp set-Harvest Home- that was featured in the catalog last year and was still in there this year! I just had to use it again.

For this card I used Always Artichoke, More Mustard, and Crumb Cake. This is a basic card, but with the layers and placement of the stamps it makes it unique. I also added a build-a-brad for a little extra touch.

You have some time to get your Thanksgiving cards done, but don't wait too long!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Haunting Hill


WOW! It is so nice to be back. I can't believe I was away from my blog for so long.

I thought I better get this idea out there quickly since Halloween will be here and gone before we knot it. This image is actually a wheel in the regular catalog. I just colored in a few images to add a little extra, but you could just keep it all black and white.

You can kind of see that with the black I did run it through my Big Shot to give it some texture with the diamond texture plate.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Blog Out of Order

Well, I have been without internet for awhile now....yuck!

We are fighting with the company to get us serviced so until I get it at my house I will not be doing my blog posts. Hopefully I won't be gone too long!

Baby Thank You

I was asked to design a thank you card for one of my pregnant friends. She wanted a few really nice home made cards to send some thank yous out after a shower.

This is what I came up with. I used the Baby Bundle (I sure am getting my use out of this set)! I also used Perfect Plum and Certainly Celery for the colors. I love those two colors together. I used my scallop edge punch and corner rounder punch. I also added some brads and a little paper piercing at the bottom of the card.

She was very pleased with the result and I liked it so much that I made some for myself!

Thanks for stopping by again today. I hope you enjoyed this sample. Don't forget that you can always change the image and you have a different kind of thank, birthday, or any occasion card!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Cupcake Big Shot

Big Shot tags are so quick and easy to make. How adorable are the Top Notes with just a cupcake on them. All you need to do is add some ribbon and tie it to a bag. The other option would be to just cut a card and add it to the front. So many options with such a simple design.

This cupcake die also comes with pieces to decorate it such as sprinkles and candles. I just kept this one simple.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Acts 17:25-26 "And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live."

Mini Card

Here it is! This envelope is part of the box die that I featured on Wednesday. As you can see the envelope is very cute and small, but perfect for a small tag or gift bag.

For this card I did not want to do any stamping on so I got out my Big Shot flowers again and added those to the front of the card.

Keep on cranking those Big Shots! What are you working on these days?

Happy Stamping! Britni :)
