Masculine Birthday Card

This is a card I made for my dad's birthday.  While it was a time consuming card to make, it turned out even better than I had planned.  The DSP is Well Worn from the current catalog.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

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!

Birthday Card

I am always needing another birthday card, so it seems that this is mostly what I design.  I like to keep it simple since I am usually very short on time!

This is a very simple card to make.  All you need is some designer series paper, some matching card stock, the postage stamp punch and your favorite birthday sentiment.  Easy, simple, and cute.  My favorite kind of card!

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.
