Pink, Pink and more Pink!!

I made more pink cards for my last stamp camp, than I have ever in my 8 yrs of stamping!! Okay, that may not be true but it sure seems like it. This was a card sketch from somewhere but I don't recall where. I like the way it turned out even though it is pink. The black really makes everything pop, don't you think??
Paper: Regal Rose CS, Basic Black CS and Whisper White CS
Ink: Regal Rose, Basic Black
Accessories: Paper Piercer, Scallop edge punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, and Heart to Heart punch.

The Scallop Trim Border Punch is from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I got it for free for ordering over $50 in Stampin' Up merchandise!! If you click on the catalog (to the right) it takes you to my Stampin' Up! website, and if you order $50 you can get free items too!!

Animal Cracker Box

Another Stamp Camp Project!! Don't you wish you would have come....
I saw a video on how to make this box, and thought it was cute and functional!! Function is important to me. If it's so tiny you can't put much in it, it doesn't function!! The fun part is the really pretty paper with sparkle!! Funny thing is I bought this paper and didn't read the description well. I was very surprised when I opened the paper and it had sparkle!! This paper is from the Occasions Mini Catalog that came out January 5th. It continues until April 30th. There will be more examples of cards made from stamps that are in this catalog!! Also the Extra Large Fancy Flower punch is from the mini catalog too!!
Paper: Very Vanilla CS, Sending Love Specialty DSP
Ink: Real Red
Stamps: Vintage Labels (Sale-A-Bration)
Accessories: Crop-A-Dile, and 5/16th very Vanilla Brad and Jumbo Eyelet (pewter)

Happy New Year Plus One

I hope all of you had a safe and happy start to the New Year! I made this card a few weeks ago, to do the Pals Paper Arts Challenge!http://www.palspaperarts.com/ They have great challenges to get your creative mind working!! The challenge was to make a card with Old Olive, Crushed Curry, and Soft Suede. I used Pocket Silhouettes stamp set, my Big Shot Little Leaves Sizzlit die, Scallop Edge Punch, and Crop-A-Dile to punch and set the eyelet. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Stampin'
