Bella’s First Birthday

by

IMG_8462Yesterday I got to attend a 1st birthday party for a special little lady.  Miss Bella is the daughter and the granddaughter of a couple of my dear friends from church.   Isn’t she adorable?

The party was short and sweet as the birthday girl needed her nap.  She loved grabbing the tissue paper out of the gift bags and seemed to enjoy the frosting on her cake.

I used the Number of Years stamp set for the Bellacard as well as the retiring It’s My Party Designer Series Paper.  I’m definitely going to miss this paper.  It’s so perfect for any birthday.  I did purchase an extra package of it to have on hand even after it retires.  Have you?  🙂

I haven’t played much with the Layered Letters Alphabet stamps but they were perfect for the envelope.  I’m really going to have to use them more.  (I know…I say that all of the time!)

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Number of Years Floral Card

by

IMG_7614Hello!  Here’s another swap card I made for OnStage 2016.  We’re also making it in class this week.

Watermelon Wonder is definitely one of my new favorites.  It’s right up there with Melon Mambo!  I especially love the new Watermelon Wonder 1″ Stitched Satin Ribbon.  It’s gorgeous!  I’ve been holding on to it trying to figure out what to do with it and I think I found the perfect thing!  🙂

You can’t see all of the pretties on this card in the photograph.  I used Shimmery White card stock (another new favorite!) and I just had to use the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (another favorite!) on the flowers.  Oh…don’t forget the little tiny pearls on the five-petal flowers.

Pretty.  Pretty.  Pretty.  I do have to admit that I’m pretty pleased with the way this card turned out.  Simple, yet elegant.  My favorite.  🙂

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
