Tempting Turquoise Big Wish

Do you ever have days when you say one thing and do another?  Well, that was my day.  My plan was to design a new card but time got away from me because I was working on projects for our next Stampin' Llama Hop.  They are done, posted and set to post tomorrow night at 8 p.m. so be sure to head over to http://www.hereallamathereallama.blogspot.com tomorrow evening to check them out.

For tonight, I'm going to share with you a card I made last summer shortly after Word Play and Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Emboss Powder became a part of my stamping inventory.

Stamp Sets:  Greenhouse Garden, Word Play; Ink:  Night of Navy; Card Stock:  Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Jewels Basic Rhinestones (colored with permanent marker), Stampin' Dimensionals, Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Emboss Powder

It may look a wee bit crooked in the photo but in reality it is just fine.  My cropping was off and unfortunately, I didn't take the time to redo it.  Next time I won't be in such a hurry.

Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get around to showing you that set of 3x3 cards I've been mentioning lately.

Just Add Cake!

My youngest grandson's birthday was November 2nd.  He is now two and such a little character.  He's the life of the party and today Mom & Dad had a family gathering to celebrate the event.  Dad made his famous potato soup and it sure was delicious.  Mom made two very tasty cakes. By the time the crew of family and friends had soup and were caked and ice creamed up, nearly everything was gone.

I sat down this afternoon and made Aiden's birthday card.  I am really enjoying the Peekaboo Frames Die.  It has turned out to be one of my favorites from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  The first photo is a close up of the window I made from the Silver Glimmer Paper.

Stamp Sets:  Forest Friends (retired), Punch Bunch (retired), God's Blessings; Ink:  Island Indigo; Card Stock:  Island Indigo, Very Vanilla, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper, Silver Glimmer Paper; Accessories:  Bigz L Peekaboo Frames Die, 1/2" Circle Punch, Sponge Dauber, Stampin' Dimensionals, Jewels Basic Pearls, Eyelet Border Punch, Tempting Turquoise Emboss Powder, VersaMark

I used the birthday sentiment from the God's Blessings Stamp Set and embossed it in Tempting Turquoise Emboss Powder on the inside of the card.  The contrast with the Island Indigo Card Stock was really nice.

Tomorrow I'm going to play with the Peekaboo Frames Die again and design a Christmas card for Tuesday night's Workshop.
