Elizabethan Birthday

As soon as I saw the new catalog I fell in love with the Elizabeth a la carte stamp and purchased it right away. I really love the way this card turned out - maybe it's the subtle elegance or perhaps the "vintage" look is finally winning me over?? A la carte stamps are also a great way to ease in to stamping as they are very inexpensive and can be used in a variety of ways.

Other supplies used on this card include: Sahara Sand, Marina Mist & Whisper White cardstock; Sahara Sand classic ink; Vintage Vogue and Short & Sweet stamp sets; scallop oval XL & 1 3/4"x7/8" oval punches; cutter kit; stamping sponges.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I love the black glitter on this card! I think it "dresses it up" a bit! This simple card is so pretty and elegant, I think! Yesterday was my Mom's birthday, so...Happy Birthday Mom! I don't think she'll mind that the post is a day late, haha! This card is available as part of a set of 8 birthday cards available for purchase. How nice and convenient to have birthday cards ready to be sent to your loved ones!

E-I-E-I-O

While we normally tend to come up with card layouts that we can easily produce in larger quantities, we could not pass up the opportunity to let our slightly more creative sides flourish when we created these 2 cards for Emi's little twin cousins. The invitation to their birthday party featured various farm animals, so we thought we'd try to create some punch art farm animals to mimic the invite.

It was so fun creating these cards and in the end we had a hard time parting with them because they came out so darn cute (and were a bit time consuming haha)!

Thank You Soccer Mom!

This card was made as a custom order. The request was for a thank you card for the team mom for a soccer team. The team's colors are blue and white. The inside of the card simply says "Thank You", so there is plenty of room for each player on the team to sign.

How nice to give a customized card to thank someone! Really makes it extra special and heartfelt! Do you have a special occasion coming up or need to thank someone for their kindness? Let us know and we can work on some custom cards for you!
