My First Saturday Sketch from Stamping 411

Guess what? Two cards today and a little something new! I found this sketch at Stamping 411 and decided to make a card! This was a fun sketch because it was easy and when I saw it I knew I wanted to use my new "Party This Way" stamp set (wood: #118744 or clear: #120609) from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog!! This is actually the first card I have made with this set. I also used some new products. The cardstock base is Crumb Cake and the front layer is Marina Mist. The balloons I stamped and cut out. They are stamped with Marina Mist, Daffodill Delight, RidingHood Red, and Certainly Celery. The ribbon is the brand new 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Daffodill Delight (#119254). Two of the balloons I popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The cute "happy birthday" greeting is also from the "Party This Way" stamp set. The strings from the balloons are hand drawn.

Sorry about the quality of this picture. It was taken on my cell phone.

Hello Owl

Hi there. Just wanted to share this simple card with you. I'm not sure that I like these colors together...still not used to it. I used So Saffron as my base card. Chocolate Chip for the front panel. The circles are Pumpkin Pie and Crumb Cake an and punched with the 1 1/4" circle punch. I stamped the owl in Chocolate Chip and punched him out with the 1" circle punch. "Hello" is from the Fundamental Phrases stamp set. The cute little owl comes from the stamp set Animal Stories. I used the Spiral Border Punch along the edge of the Chocolate Chip piece for an added effect.

Hope you like it! Enjoy!

Until Next Time, Happy Stampin'!
