Oops!

I make mistakes.  We all do, right?  The first time I stamped the doily for the card I made yesterday, I didn't get it pressed down very well, especially in the center of the stamp.  When I do that, I usually just turn the cardstock over, and try again, but the Melon Mambo is too dark and you could see the goof on the back.  I've seen a few cards with the scallop punch in the center and so I decided to try that.  Perfection!  It covered up the goof, saved a perfectly good piece of cardstock, and I ended up with another pretty card.  Yea!

Girly Birthday Card

I love everything girly and of course pink is my favorite color.  This is another super simple card.  All you need is the Hello, Doily background stamp, a rhinestone, and a sentiment, then pick your colors, and your done!

Is it too late to post this?

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I sat down and actually wrote a new post. I've still been making cards though! I thought that I would go ahead and show you a few of my Christmas and Valentine's cards. I get inspiration from all kinds of cards, so I hope you enjoy these even if it is well past these holidays!

Christmas

 I got the inspiration for this card from Deesigns by Nina Dee.  I attached the pearls directly to the card.

Valentine's

This is made the same way as the ornaments, but this time with rhinestones.

Yes, this is a card to look like the outside of an envelope!  I cased this from an enevelope pictured in Stampin' Success, a magazine with lots of inspiration for demos only.

I've just recently passed my 1 year anniversary with Stampin' Up!  I am mostly a hobby stamper, but I really love the products and would love to share them with you.  Please contact me at laurasstampingspot at gmail for more information.

Pinwheel Fun!

Hello!  I'm super excited to share my card creations with my brand new blog.  Thank you for joining me.

This is a card I recently made for a really sweet boy that was turning 4.  I don't have a lot of kid-oriented stamps, but still wanted a card that would appeal to a little one.  The pinwheel is a rather popular fad right now, and I knew this would be the perfect fit.  This was my first time making a pinwheel and I was very pleased with the way it turned out and that it wasn't difficult to make.  I used Real Red and Whisper White and a Whisper White brad.  I created my own DSP using the cupcake from the retired set, Party Hearty.  The ink and paper are both Tempting Turquoise and then I cut it out with the Top Note die.  The happy birthday stamp is from the Pretty Postage stamp set and is stamped in Pacific Point ink and then punched out with the postage punch.  I also punched out some Real Red using the postage punch.  The last little bit was some 1/4" grosgrain ribbon in Real Red and it's all on a Whisper White card.

Please leave a comment.  I'd love to know what you think!!
