Yesterday I had to (or got to!) pull out my stamping stuff and make some cards. Although I have totally immersed myself in making jewelry lately (gosh, it's just so much fun!), it felt really good to do some stamping and it reminded me of how much I love it! I have a good friend whose daughter just had a baby. Babies are my favorite theme to stamp for! When I saw the elephant punch being discontinued in the Stampin' Up! catalog, I debated and debated over whether to get it........and I'm so glad I did. I love this little guy - and using vintage papers with him is something I can tell I'm going to repeat over and over again!
The other exciting news is that my niece has purchased a new home! Champagne? Yes, please! Here's the card I made to celebrate this great occasion with her. On the inside, it says, "Come sit with me and drink champagne"! I'm so happy for she and her husband! This is Stampin' Up!'s "Good Neighbors" and "Balloon Celebrations" stamp sets. I cut out the houses and roofs and pop-dotted them up on the base. I put a tiny little rhinestone on all of the door knobs. SO CUTE!
Unfortunately, I also needed two sympathy cards. I like this style, easy and elegant, but gets the respectful message across. The little pearl on the tag is the finishing touch!
Have a wonderful day - and keep on stampin'!
