Some cards I've been working on as of late.. For a fellow gambler - part of the #imbringingbirthdaysback campaign I participated in earlier this year. He put a "like" on my fb post..so I made/sent this card. Inspired from a sheet of Karen Frost stickers I'd found in my scrapbooking stash. Also used gold metallic thread (behind the Royal Flush sticker) and my own scribble ("hey..."). Remembered this funny quote from a dish towel I'd seen in a gift shop. Thought it'd make a good sentiment for this birthday card. Haven't decided on its recipient yet.. may have to make more! Mojo (our tabby-mix) turns 5 next month! This is his birthday card to his 4 siblings (biological). They're city cats and live with my cousin. Created Mojo's "likeness" from Stampin' Up!'s Fox Builder Punch. Added finishing touches with a Sharpie and sponged SU's Soft Suede ink around the edges.

Thanks for looking! Love this set, "Enjoy the Little Things" from the 2016 Stampin' Up! Occasions catty. (I've also purchased the easel set, but have yet to assemble it. Getting a lot of layouts from this companion stamp set, though!) Here's a 4x4 thank you card I created for a ukulele friend of ours: All supplies are current Stampin' Up! products, except for the music note scrap. Stamps:  Silhouettes & Script (Hostess set)-"Thanks"; Enjoy the Little Things Card stock : Pool Party, Basic Black, Whisper White Shimmer, Shine On Specialty DSP (2016 Occasions catty) Etc.: In Color ribbon (Mint Macaroon), Sequin trim (Bermuda Bay), Embossing Powder (Silver); Dimensionals and other dry adhesive

Snowmen Gift Box Stack Needed a "quick" gift for my great-nieces. Inspired by this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/chunkysnowman/), I had these 2x2 paper gift boxes already on hand. Added paper and embellishments. (White paper I used is from a retired item - SU's Irrestibly Yours DSP, but white card stock can be used.) (Top hat is made from toilet paper roll covered in black card stock.) Hot glued boxes together. Ta-da!!
