Under the Stars with some yummy s'mores!

Who doesn't love s'mores??? I know I love them and I also love my newest stamp set, Under the Stars! I just had to create something with it as soon as I got it! I'd been wanting to make one of the single sheet bags and thought it would be really cute to put s'mores fixin's inside to compliment the stamp set. The bag uses one 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of CS plus the small pieces for the stamped embellishments. I used Chocolate Chip and Whisper White on mine. I stamped the stars in Summer Sun and the Mosquitos (you can't see them in this picture) in Not Quite Navy. the bear and s'more were stamped in Chocolate Chip and colored in using Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, and Sahara Sand. I put 2 graham crackers, 2 marshmallows and 4 pieces of chocolate in a ziploc sandwich bag and put them inside. What a great little camping treat these would make for the kids!

My daughter, Abby's, 5th birthday invitations

Boy, does time fly! Especially when it comes to kids. Seems like just yesterday she was small enough to fit between elbow and wrist. Now she's my beanpole! And she grew another whole inch in the last month! I keep teasing her that we're going to put a brick on her head!

This birthday was all about butterflies. Ask Abby what she wanted for her birthday and her first answer was *a butterfly cake*! So I sat down with her and designed these butterfly cards using the God's Beauty hostess set for her invites. I used Versamark ink on Whisper White card stock to stamp and emboss the butterflies. I then let Abby choose 3 colors (Tempting Turquoise, Pixie Pink and Orchid Opulence) to sponge on top of the butterflies. I used a baby wipe to clean the ink off the embossed butterflies and then stamped the *You're Invited* (not a Stampin' Up! stamp... GASP!) in the corner. Simple and perfect for her butterfly birthday!

Especially for the twins!

My friend Jenn has adorable twin boys who just turned 4. I made these cards for them using Tempting Turquoise CS, Rainbow Sherbet DSP and the Big Bold Birthday stamp set. I embossed the cupcake bottoms and glittered the tops. I also glittered the candle flames. They turned out so sweet ~ just like the twins!

*Mom's* birthday card

I made this card for my *other* mom's birthday. It turned out so pretty and soft!

I used Sahara Sand cardstock for the base. I then adhered a piece of Bashful Blue Patterns DSP to the card front. I used the stamp set Symbols of Solicitude and stamped each image on Whisper White CS with Bashful Blue ink. I used a jumbo eyelet, two brads and a small piece of Whisper White ribbon for embellishments.
