Danielle's Special Delivery Blog Hop!

Hi everyone!  I'm here today with a ton of blog friends helping to celebrate a new baby!!  Danielle, from Neat & Tangled, had a baby GIRL!  We wanted to do something special for her so join along to wish her well and for some fabulous baby card ideas.  You should have arrived here from the Neat & Tangled blog to start the hop.

I had the pleasure of meeting and rooming with Danielle last fall........she is a sweet and lovely person inside and out.  It was so fun to meet her after working on her DT for over a year.  I even got to watch her design in her sketchbook....hehe.  Here's a picture I had to share of Danielle and I.......with a MDQ photo bomb!  :)

Congrats Danielle.....enjoy every second with that precious one!!

I created a little "onesie" shaped card courtesy of some dies and added a sweet "Special Delivery" message (from Santa Tags by Neat & Tangled) embossed in white on vellum.  The tiny button dies were tied up with mini crochet threaded bows.  I will never tire of Danielle's handwriting stamps.......they are just beautiful!!

There's lots of great ladies celebrating during the hop.......your next stop is Jessica Pascarella!

{Special Delivery}

Stamps:  Santa's Tags (Neat & Tangled)

Paper:  White (PTI), Vellum (Michael's)

Pattern Paper:  Memories Captured (Fancy Pants)

a post for DAD

A quick post here using some fairly new goodies from Simon Says Stamp from the Pure Sunshine release.

I created this card using the Lots of Stars stamps and Simon Says Stamp inks in Soft Navy, Green Apple, Smoke, and Lipstick Red.  I really like how this turned out....simple yet perfect for a masculine card.  Since I don't have the actual "dad" die, I improvised and used the full card Dad die.  A few snips and you have a "dad" die!

Thanks so much for sharing a part of your day with me!

CAS for CASology

Hi all!  It's been an exhausting week......won't go into details but I do have a CAS card to share using Whimsy Stamps.  

I decided to play along with CASology this week as their challenge is "anniversary".  I used a little set called Feeling Fruity Additions for a little punny humor.  I stamped the inside of this card with Happy Anniversary and then added a few 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.    

Thanks so much for sharing a part of your day with me!

This month we are featuring ways to use Reverse Confetti's stamps and dies in FUN ways......you need to see the inspiration from the DT.......just sayin'!!!  :)

I decided to make a set of mini cards/envies and matching gift box.  I've used the dies and stamps for Class Act from Reverse Confetti and added in some Office Edges Confetti Cuts to make them a "shaped" card.  I used my envelope punch board to make my matching envies in some fun polka dot paper!

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Kathy’s blog.

Thanks a LATTE

Whew!  The weekend is here!  

I have a little "thanks a LATTE" card to share for all my followers....

I've used an image from the Coffee Break that can be found at Whimsy Stamps.  The matching dies make this a fabulous set especially the stitching on the coffee cozy!!!  I embellished the cozy by stamping a star, adding a star diecut from the Coffee Cup Die set, and adding Wink of Stella and 6mm Sparkling Clear sequin from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!
