Halloween Treat Boxes

I know that I haven't been very good at keeping up with blog posts but between work and spending lots of time with my grandson it doesn't leave much time for stamping. I really miss it and hope to be doing more stamping over the next couple of months. I created these cute little boxes to give to my nephews for Halloween. Of course they get lots of candy so I try to give them a small little gift and only a little candy. I think these turned out cute but they aren't something that I would make if I had to make a lot of them.

Supplies used: Stamps: Booglie Eyes; Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie; Ink: Basic Black and various markers; Other: Ribbon and wiggle eyes.

Thank You Card

I decided to create some Thank You cards for my co-worker that is expecting her second child. She already knows that she is having a boy and I knew that I wanted to use this stamp set to create the cards. I really like this layout and I thought the zebra would be the perfect stamp for the cards. I love doing baby cards and I never have trouble trying to come up with something.

Supplies used: Stamps: Wild About You; Paper: Whisper White,Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue and DCWV background paper; Ink: Basic Black, Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue and Pretty in Pink; Other: Ticket Corner Punch, Brilliant Blue Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals and Dew Drops.

Baby Onesie Card

I made this card for a co-worker that is having a baby boy this summer. I have seen many of these cards on Splitcoast and I knew that it was something that I wanted to try and make. They look more complicated to make than they really are. I believe the idea originated with Lauren Meader (she even has a tutorial on her blog). She has many ideas that will inspire your creativity.

Supplies used: Stamps: Mini Mates and Small Sayings; Paper: Whisper White and Bashful Blue; Ink: Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink; Other: Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, and Dimensionals.

My Grandson

My grandson (Ryan Michael) was born on February 13th, he weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. He seems so small and is very precious. Look at all that hair! I'm not sure how much blogging I'll be able to do over the next few months since I want to enjoy as much time as I can with my grandson.

Valentine Treat Boxes

These are some simple Valentine treat boxes I created for my co-workers. They can hold 2 or 3 of the small square chocolates. Of course I only gave away the milk chocolate since the dark chocolate is my favorite ;).

Supplies used: Stamps: Taggers Dozen and Dot to Dot Wheel; Paper: Whisper White, Close to Cocoa and Bravo Burgundy; Ink: Close to Cocoa and Bravo Burgundy; Other: Stamp edged scissors, Dimensionals and ribbon.
