Bamboo Beauty

Some of you may know that I spent two and a half years as a the Assistant General Manager at the Spring Hill Suites. In November I decided that I need to take a break from that job to have more time to focus on my family, myself and my stamping. I loved the people that I worked with and wanted a simple easy card that I could make multiples of for my co-workers and staff. Page 86 of the catalog gave me just what I needed. I changed it up just slightly and added some ribbon but still used the same basic idea. I really love this stamp set and will be sad to see it go.

One of the things I enjoyed about the job was creating cards and gifts for both employees and guests who stayed with us. I’m excited that I will get the chance to do it again as I start tomorrow as the General Manager Hampton Inn. As this is a smaller hotel I’m hoping that I will still be able devote time to my renewed passion of stamping and sharing my creations with you.

I will give you a quick tip on creating this card. I stamped off for the larger bamboo pieces and used the full strength for the leaves. This gave me the depth in the colors that you see. You will also notice that I used slightly different colors than the ones in the samples in the catalog.

Fun Bitty Butterfly Card

 

 

I saw this cute layout on Pinterest using hearts I think and thought it would be fun to try with the tiny butterfly punch.  Are you wondering how I got the patterned images on the butterflies?  I bet you are thinking that they are designer series paper.  Well you would be wrong.  I actually used some of the darling background stamps that came with one of my paper pumpkin kits.  Yes just another great reason to have Paper Pumpkin coming to your house each month.  Make sure you sign up before the 10th so you can get the free markers with your kit and get started having fun projects come to your home each month.  You’ll notice that I used the Decorative Dots embossing folder from Sale-a-brations again because I’m totally in love with it.  It’s a must have in my opinion.
