We live close to Gilette stadium so we got to go to first day of practice for Patriots. Even if you are not a Patriot fan, you can still appreciate the beauty of the man! And of course my boys with Pat Patriot.
I just love all the new "extreme" stamps, all great solid images of cool "teen and tween" things- guitar, skateboarder, surfboarder, dirt bike and this image snowboard. They are only $8.95 too! I choose to do emboss resist technique.
You can see by the use of "Afternoon teaparty" DSP, simply by changing color scheme it can be for girls too!
I have been busy making convention swaps. NO, I am not going- no funds this year. However, my fellow demo and friend Gwynne is going and she said she would swap for me. I actually came up with 3 different cards, but I thought I would share this one with you.
My niece had a birthday last week, and this is a quick card I made her. I used the butterfly die for my big shot, sentiment from upsy daisy and last year's in-colors and dsp. Of course I still have tons left- use it while I can! I can't believe she is turning 17, lucky we don't age only the kids.
Okay, you done with the Robots yet? Transformers is huge right now, so I am staying on the kick. A quick card I made for someone who ordered some "boy" birthday cards from me. I can't stop embossing the poor guy- but embossing is my all time favorite technique.
I finally got around to trying out the tri-shutter card. It was on SCS try a new technique a month or so go. It gives a link to great tutorial which made it so easy to do. I broke out my new razzleberry paper, flight of butterfly set and played with it.
This card features the new stamp set circle circus and uses some of the new in-colors. I liked how they used a circle punch to punch out space to tie ribbon. This will be one of our make and takes tonight!


Here is another card I made for LNS red white and blue challenge- more glitter and chipboard stars, the little ones I use my star punch and some chipboard backing from a notepad. I did not have any 4th of July sayings, so I printed this one up from my computer and used the new modern label punch.
However, I did take a little break to play- not much stamping but some glitter bling for upcoming weekend. My MIL birthday is the 5th of July, so to play along with Late Night stamper's challenge of red, white and blue I decided to make a star bouquet. I ran the not quite navy cardstock through my big shot using textured plate to give basket embossed design. I used eyelet border punch. I used craft ink and heat and stick powder to adhere glitter.
