Every Little Bit - Gumball Machine

I'm not into the clear stamps but I do have Block A and a tiny word set. So when Every Little Bit went on sale I just had to get it for the cheaper price since the stamps fit on Block A!

This is a fun card! I was inspired by a card I found on SCS made by LeAnn Pugliese. She made one that was a little bit longer and with different colors and words. I made this one to fit a standard letter envelope because I wanted to keep as many of the circles as possible.

The smallest circle is the 1" and then they're layered up from there 1 1/4", 1 3/8", 1 3/4". I used the 1 1/4" for the circles across the card but now that I look again, she used the 1" circle for that. Either way, still cute!

Colors: Pacific Point, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
I use Staz On (R) Black for just about everything stamped in black anymore.

Easy Events - Twins!

My dear friend Celia just gave birth (naturally) to identical twin boys. I haven't sent it to her yet, but this card is for her.

I made this one for my friend Suzanne. I haven't sent hers out yet either. She had a girl. The only thing I changed was the card color and I added a duck with a pink umbrella to match. See?

These cards were inspired by Tessa Wise. I love her style so I copy her work often.

Love & Sympathy

A friend requested some sympathy cards and I think they're good to have on hand. I found one very similar to this made by Vicki Burdick and I liked it so I made my own version.

I used the markers to color and stamp the flower and Staz On (R) for the words. You also see Rhinestones (LOVE) and some Real Red Satin Ribbon. The background was done using the Texturz Plates for the Big Shot.

Colors: Basic Black, Whisper White, Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Gray.
