Little Notes...Big Wishes

Hello Stamping Friends,

     Have you ever needed just a little gift enclosure note for a baby or birthday or....."fill in the blank" occasion?  Well, I have and I think I will be making quite a few more of these little gems to have on hand.  They are so quick and easy....and use up lots of scraps in your paper stash too, right? (Check out those envelopes created with the awesome envelope punch board.  I love that thing!)

So, today I have two 3x3 gift cards that we made this month at stamp camp.  One for baby using the Lullaby DSP and a masculine happy birthday use Flashback DSP.  I think they turned out quite cute and wanted to share them with you today.  So, for that next gift, don't pay 1.99 or more for an enclosure card.   Take a little time this week, dig through that big paper scrap pile of yours,  ;-) and make a few of these little notes.  The recipient will be so amazed.  
Have a blessed week,
barb

Label Punch Birthday and SFF Challenge

Hello Stamping Friends,

     I'm back with yet another masculine card for you today.  I'm also revisiting a very old stamped background technique for the sketch challenge from the ladies over at Sketch Frenzy Friday.   

Here is my take: 

And here is the sketch:

I created the background panel by stamping over a whole sheet of cardstock 
(called One Sheet Wonder technique) with the Clockworks stamp set with Perfect Plum, Baked Brown Sugar, Island Indigo, and Summer Starfruit.  For the focal point, I used my Big Shot, Window Frame Framelits, and the new Label punch.  Below is my 
"One Sheet Wonder"

I wasn't quite sure about this color combo as I looked at the whole sheet, but when I cut it to use smaller portions, I really liked it.  It's kind of different and I am enjoying experimenting.  :)  Hope you get some stamping time soon and try this time-tested technique. 

blessings,

barb
