Perfectly Penned Thank You cards

I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything lately.
In February my mom was diagnosed with Leukemia and I lost some of my card making ambition.
I did however make the Thank You cards for my cousin's wedding as a wedding gift to her and her husband.
Here's how they turned out...

Paper: Very Vanilla cardstock, Elegant Eggplant cardstock

Ink: Elegant Eggplant Classic Stampin' Pad

Stamp set: Perfectly Penned (wood mount or clear mount)
Other: Snail Adhesive, silver ribbon (Hobby Lobby), Mini Glue Dots, Designer Frames Folder, Vintage Wallpaper Folder, Paper Snips, Stampin' Dimensionals

I love the way they turned out and really loved getting one in the mail thanking me for them! haha

I hope you feel inspired today and be sure to check out my Facebook page.

Out West Father's Day card

One of the retiring stamp sets this May is Old West, which is one of my favorites and I'm sad to see it go.

Ink: Early Espresso Stampin' Pad

Be sure to get this western stamp set that's one of my favorites and will soon be gone.

Thanks for stopping today and I hope you feel inspired!

Eyelet Border Mother's Day card

Stampin' Up! released the retired accessories list towards the end of April and one of the accessories they announced that was retiring was the Eyelet Border punch. I'm really sad to see it go, but know that they must be coming out with something awesome to replace it.
This Mother's Day card uses the Eyelet Border punch and creates a ruffled lacy look. I think it's super cute and would be great as a baby girl card or a wedding card.
So...if you like this punch, you better hurry and get it now before it's gone. Because if they sell out of it before the end of May, it will be gone for good.

Stamp sets: Mother's Day (non-Stampin' Up!)
Ink: Melon Mambo Stampin' Pad
Paper: Whisper White card stock, Pink Pirouette card stock, Pretty in Pink card stock, Melon Mambo card stock
Accessories: Pretty in Pink 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools: Simply Scored Tool, Tabletop Paper Cutter, Eyelet Border punch

I hope you feel inspired and be sure to grab up the Eyelet Border Punch before it's gone!
