Happy (Belated) Birthday Nate!

My nephew-in-law's birthday is May 18th. So yes, I'm very late in posting this card. I did get it to Nate the week of his birthday, so I'm not a total loser! LOL.


I used this CAS sketch (#191) from Clean&Simple's blog.  I love their blog, but you know me...I rarely do CAS cards.  But this sketch spoke to me.

In fact, I liked so it much I made a second card.  I just reversed the layers.

The bee is Stampoque.

Happy "belated" birthday Nate!!

GC135: Favorite Paper

Oops...the Monday holiday thru me. I forgot to get this posted this morning!

We're using up our scraps over at Gingersnap Creations this month. Today's challenge is to use your FAVORITE PAPER.

Well my "favorite" (can a paper hoarder have a favorite??) paper has long been Basic Grey. So I sorted thru my BG scraps and used my heart Nesties. Little Quasi here was stamped and colored with Copics. Fun and fast! AND USED SCRAPS!

Thanks to this month's sponsor Stampotique!

Stamps: Stampotique QUASI #6015; "GIVE SELF A HUG" #4010
Ink: Memento
Paper: Basic Grey scraps
Accessories: ribbon, Copics, heart Nestabilities

GC134: Ribbon

Wow...this is my first blog post of 2012! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

This month on the Gingersnap Creations blog we're getting organized! AND we have a fabulous sponsor this month - Stampotique Originals! Today we're cleaning up the RIBBON!

Getting organized for me that includes using bits and pieces that have been hang around my craft area - discarded from other projects.

The best way I've found to "glue" down ribbon scraps is to run them thru my Xyron sticker maker.

Take your bone folder and rub all over and around each edge to get a "clean" sticker.

Lay the ribbons down side by side and trim off the excess. I used scraps to paper piece Heart Throb and colored his head, hands and shoes with Copics.


Stamps: Stampotique HEART THROB #6057; "HUG ENCLOSED" #5244
Ink: Memento
Paper: scraps
Accessories: ribbon, Xryon label maker, pink puffy heart sticker

You have a month to create a Ribbon masterpiece and post it on Gingersnap Creations!
