Vintage Elements of Style

Today I was going to post the card I made for my niece's wedding last night and realized (once I was at the wedding, of course) that I never took any pictures!  So back to a card we made at my September stamp a stack.  I got the idea for my card from kellichan over on Splitcoast.  I love the vintage look and her colors, but I didn't have any ribbon in perfect plum, so I opted for some more fall like colors since that was kind of my theme for this  month's stamp a stack.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Flower Garden

Well, this card started out as one of my stamp a stack cards, but it didn't last long!  I was really looking to make something with fall colors, but still using flowers.  I decided to give this technique a try when I saw it over on the  Hand Stamped Sentiments technique challenge.  It's a pretty neat technique, but definitely not for a stamp a stack.  Hmm...maybe I need to start a techniques class too. :)


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Serene Silhouettes in the Fall

To those of you who come to my stamp a stacks, I did say I was going to post the cards we were making.  Well, I think I'm running a little behind! lol  Anyway, I wanted to make a fall card, and of course I always have one masculine card in the set of five.  Well, I think this is going to be the guy card.  It could probably go either way because of the coral color, but I still think it's more for a guy...who likes a little "pink"! lol



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love & Laughter

Today's card is another bridal shower card for a friend at church.  I've had the privilege of getting to know her a little more at my stamp a stacks and I'm so happy for her!   Just a few short weeks and she'll be married. :)  Hmm...looks like I took this picture before I put the pearls on the card though...oops! lol

Everything Eleanor

Today's card is another triple layer card for my September stamp a stack.  The ladies really liked the last one they made, and said they wouldn't mind making another one.  I changed this one up just a little bit by shifting the paper up so I could put my sentiment at the bottom.  Some of them might do it this way and others might do it the original way. :)  



Thanks for looking and have a great day!
