Stair Step Card for my favorite MIL on her birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEANETTE! My father-in-law put together this great surprise party for my mother-in-law for her big 6-0 and I made this really fun card for the special occasion.

I used all Close To My Heart products and the August Stamp of the Month. Here is the recipe:

Life Delights Lvl II Paper Packet

Ribbon Rounds in Chocolate

Foam Numbers

Liquid Glass

Chocolate Party RSVP Gifts

So I've been playing a lot with the new papers; participating in swaps, making workshop and gathering samples and getting ready for my Chocolate-themed party on Saturday and came up with these little fun treasures to give to those that RSVP'd, whether a yes or a no. Hopefully, it will inspire you to see a little more...



I used colors and coordinating stamps as well as B&T (background and texture) papers from the brand new Grace paper kit. The My Acrylix Stamp Set used on the Barn Red Slider is Childhood Portrait and on the Honey Slider it is the Stamp of the Month, Treasures which you can earn at a discount or even FREE! Just ask me how.

Playing with New Stamps of the Month (Coming Soon!)

I LOVE OUR UPCOMING STAMPS OF THE MONTH!!! The first image is from Treasures: September's SOTM. It is a very wistful fun set featuring dandelions and the phrase, "You are My Sunshine". My mom has always said that to me, even as an adult, and so this set is so sentimental, I had to have it! My color inspiration is also from an upcoming paper packet entitled, Twitterpated. Look for it in the new Autumn Idea Book; it's extremely fun, unique and very versatile! You will see me use it A LOT in the next few weeks, I'm sure. The colors are Chocolate, Sorbet, Crystal Blue and Sweet Leaf. I used random stamping to create my own Background & Texture (B&T) paper. The pattern is from the new card how-to book from CTMH, Wishes. I hope you like it!

Supplies Used:
Treasures SS
Emporium B&T
Cardstock in Crystal Blue, Chocolate, Sorbet and Colonial White
Colonial White Ribbon Rounds
Foundry Plates

This next image is from November's SOTM, Around the Block. It's a cozy little set designed completely around the love in your home. I used Emporium for my paper and color inspiration and using Selective Stamping to create the house, I then also colored in the image with CTMH's Blending Pen and Exclusive Markers.

Supplies Used:
Around The Block SS
Emporium B&T
Cardstock in Crystal Blue, Buttercup and Colonial White
