Just Ducky

I bought a bunch of punches from someone off Craigslist and this little duck punch was in the set. It's so cute! My cousin just had a baby, and the shower theme was ducks. I didn't have the punch before making the favors, but I used it here on this super-simple card. The sentiment is from a dollar stamp set and I masked it to stack the words. The papers are from a Making Memories pad, Sydney. It is old, but is full of yummy blues and greens!

I have been more productive than the blog shows lately. If only I had the time to write up posts! I hope you are all having a good summer. Thanks for looking!

Moxie Fab Trigger Butterfly

This week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World is a great rainbow of threads. I don't have any sewing-themed stamps, so I used the rainbow colors as my inspiration. The butterfly and sentiment stamps are from Unity Stamp Co's Be You (that I just got at their online warehouse sale!). The flourish is from an old clear set I got at Target a loooooong time ago.

I stamped the butterfly in Versamark on black card stock, then layered the rainbow colored embossing powders. I heat embossed then cut out the image. It is layered on Very Vanilla cs, with a black panel and a Vanilla base. The rhinestones on the butterfly and exclamation point are from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

Sending Love

For the record, when you are using the Square Lattice folder to emboss a piece of cardstock, be sure to alter your measurements a bit. Embossing made my layer by 1/8 inch smaller so now it doesn't perfectly cover the base card!

I used my new Unity Stamps Sending My Love set that I got during their warehouse sale last weekend. Such a fun set! This card is going into my June OWH pile. The dp is BG Junebug and the image is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The mailbox was colored with a pale grey marker that smeared the ink, making it look pink. But that's fine because of the pink in the paper :)

I hope you are having a good weekend. DH is home for all of 36 hours so we are just hanging around at home. Thanks for looking!
