Dreaming of Snow

Every year in July, we celebrate Christmas in July at SweetStamps.com!

What a great time to get started on those holiday cards!!

Here's the card I created:

I used the new CC11 Creative Corners set, to create a snowflake for my main image!!

I added some glitter!!

 What Christmas card is complete...without glitter?

With some of the warmer weather we have been getting, today being on of them...87 and very humid....I surely was wishing for fall!!

Red White and Blue with GI

Happy Monday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog!

My little guys loves red, white and blue birthday cards, especially since his birthday is right around the 4th of July!

So I created this card with him in mind:

I simply used the lovely Swirly Birthday (E367) sentiment for this card!

I used a clear Spica pen to add glitter to the birthday sentiment!

Fun and simple birthday card!!

Amusement Park LO

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am sharing a digital layout of the kids and I!

Each each year we like to take a trip to a local Amusement Park about 30min. away.

They just love it!

Always a fun day!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Birthday Invites

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!!

Last Saturday, was a crazy, but amazingly FUN day!

My kids are 1 1/2 years apart and it so happens that this year they both will be celebrating their "Golden" birthday's!  

My son is turning 6 on the 6th in a few week's and my daughter will be turning 5 on the 5th this winter. (She really hasn't had many birthday parties as I don't like planning parties in winter as they ones I have, it never fails and is a snowstorm that day!) 

So we decided to have a huge Birthday for them this summer!

We went with a candy theme! :)

All kinds of games based around candy (the favorite was...Human Candyland Game!), a candy table, a fun photo booth, bounce house, etc.!!
Not sure who had more fun, the adults or kids?! :)

----------------------

Here are the fun Birthday invites I made:

So fun and colorful!!!

I used the circle die in the Fancy Labels 3 Die set to die cut the fun stamped polka dot circle, which is part of the Cute Circles set!!

The banner behind the die cut circle is also part of the Fancy Labels 3 Die set!  On some of the banners, I thought it would be fun to stamp the fun  "Party Time!" sentiment, which is part of the Mason Jar Add-On II set.

The "You're Invited" is part of the Little Phrases set.

I made over 50 of these! (Yes, I may be a little crazy!!)
Was so glad when I was done making them!
Really enjoy the fun responses from everyone when we handed them out!

And the inside....the best part....the
GOLDEN TICKET!!
and a Hershey's candy bar!!

Oh so fun!!! :)

----------------------

Here are some fun photos from the day:

 I had so much fun decorating!!

You can see the Human Candyland game here!

Candy table...a big hit!  Even for the adults!! ;)

We had a photo booth....

My birthday boy and hubby!!

And the birthday girl...

SMILE!!

Everyone loved the bounce house!!

There were two parties...one in the afternoon for kids from school and dance class.  And then a family and friends party at night!

Some of the kids at the afternoon party...

There were 20 kids!  It was so fun and crazy!

Needless to say....I think we may skip Christmas this year!! ;)  lol

They were so excited and overwhelmed!

What a wonderful time!!

Have a lovely day!

Roses are Red with IBS

Happy Friday Sweet Stamping Friends!!

I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog today sharing a beautiful Birthday card!

Recently it was my Mother-In-Law's Birthday!
My Father-In-Law called me and asked if I could create a special card for him to give her!

Well my MIL loves roses!  So I instantly thought of the lovely Flowers Bloom set from Inspired By Stamping!

Such a beautiful rose image in that set!!

The red and black are so beautiful and elegant together!

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Fancy Sentiments set!

I also stamped tiny butterflies around the sentiment and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The butterfly is from the Butterfly Wings set.

The image was soooo very fun to color with my copics!
It was the first time I colored them red!  I've always colored the rose yellow or pink!

And the finished inside:

I love, love, love the Birthday Greetings set!  So many lovely sentiments to use for the inside of your cards!!

I also used the single rose in the Flowers Bloom set!

I also used some White Fabric Tape and Black Seam Binding for my card!
