The colors are basic gray, whisper white and bermuda bay card stock. The ribbon is dotted bermuda bay and I used a star brad from the silver hodge podge kit. I colored the balloon with the new in color markers. The nuts and bolts are stamped in basic gray.
I ran the card stock through my Big Shot using SU! embossing folder Finial Press. I got a great impression and to highlight it a little bit more I swept whisper white craft ink across the top. The ribbon is soft suede dotted grosgrain. It is our brand new ribbon and it is just gorgeous. The sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes stamped in bermuda bay ink on white card stock punched with a 1and 3/8 inch circle punch. That is then mounted onto a soft suede card stock scallop punch and then mounted to the card using dimensionals. Even the dsp has gone through the Big Shot with Finial Press.
The card base is tempting turquoise. I stamped the waves in the same ink and then with an exacto knife I cut out the wave so that the 2 surf boards could fit inside. I stamped the first board in tempting turquoise and then I didn't re ink for the second one, so that I got a lighter effect. The ribbons are all 1/4 inch grosgrain from SU!
The card stock base is chocolate chip. The designer paper is Tall Tales. I stamped the elephant in brilliant blue and the circle in rose red. I ran the circle through the Big Shot to emboss it with the texturz plate dots. The brilliant blue card stock square is punched with the SU! punch spiral. The ribbon is old olive 5/8 inch grosgrain. The sentiment is from On a Pedestal Stamp Set.
The chef is from Voila stamp set. We paper pieced his coat with dusty durango textured card stock. The ribbon is soft suede dotted grosgrain and we used a large grommet in white. Crystal effects were used to highlight the buttons on his coat. The rest of the chef was watercolored.
This is our wonderful Stamping Group! Sue just bought this great Marilyn Monroe statue and we all posed with her. In this top photo, Marilyn is holding the great recipe box. I'm in the front with the brown shirt. I've lost 15 lbs in the last few months, so I'm not as shy to take my photo. Sue is on the opposite side of Marilyn with the vanilla top and the blue jeans. Next to me in the cameo coral shirt is Diana Hnat. Behind her from left to right is Cathy Stritch, Carol Hartline, Sandi Haertig, Pat Nuckels (right behind Marilyn), Linda Kincaid who designed the box, Hsiao-hui Lin, Peggy Kincaid and her daughter Kim.
I used crushed curry for the card base and then layered it with that awesome razzleberry lemonade doublesided designer paper. The cupcake stand is stamped in basic brown permanent ink which is great if you want to watercolor or color with marker. I colored the cupcakes with markers. I added crystal effects and also SU! chunky glitter. The cupcakes look so good that I could eat them. The happy birthday is from teeny tiny wishes set. It has every wish you could possibly imagine. That was also stamped in basic brown. By the way - I used SU! watercolor paper to stamp the image on. You get a really bold look and nothing smears since the paper absorbs the ink. These are great because they are already precut. I just cut this one in half, because I needed a smaller piece.
Here is my envelope. I always stamp an envelope. Happy Birthday Olachi, even if it is a little late!
These are flower pot cards. She used new IN COLORS and the Big Shot for the leaves and the daisies. She also used IN COLOR ink pads and crushed curry dotted grosgrain for the ribbon.
This first card was made by Linda Kincaid a SU! demonstrator and a very good friend of mine. She used some new in colors and the stamp set circle circus which I love. This was a birthday card for Hsiao-hui.
This card was made by Hsiao-hui for Linda. Linda just bought a new home and this card is fabulous. She used some retired sets and All in the Family and Lovely as a Tree. These are also new in colors.
This first card uses new IN COLORS rich razzleberry, melon mambo and crushed curry card stock. I also used the new dotted ribbon in crushed curry and a rhinestone brad that matches. The background of the card is stamped with the stamp tres chic and is done in rich razzleberry classic ink. The happy birthday sentiment in the circle is from teeny tiny wishes. The dsp is razzleberry lemonade. The envelope is stamped with her name from the new Jumble alphabet and a variety of other under 10 stamps! I highlighted her name with crystal effects and sprinkled the card and envelope with dazzling diamonds because Amanda loves glitter.
This second card is done using the chef from Voila. I made this card for the staff in the NICU to sign for her and we had a surprise party at work for her yesterday. The card base is crushed curry, layered with old olive and bermuda bay. The chef is stamped on whisper white and watercolored and then glittered. The same sentiment is used from teeny tiny wishes. The ribbons are bermuda bay and dusty durango dotted grosgrain. 
The card base is made from 3 layers of whisper white card stock. See
