VC Rocks Final Blog Hop

I hope you are enjoying the hop!

Can you believe it's the final blog hop already?  VC Rocks 2012 has gone by so fast.

You have come from Shari's Stamp Pad.  Although it's been years since I read Harry Potter, I enjoyed her HP characters!

The first creation I want to show you is actually an ATC.

ATC Kimono template is from Penny Wessenauer and I downloaded it from

photobucket. 

 I used Simply Scored to score for the folding and cutting.

The belly band slips right off to open it.

Inside is supposed to be a tea bag, but I just made these tags instead.

 This is such a great idea for a gift card and it could be adjusted to make a full sized card.

Stamps used:  Bright Blossoms, Perfectly Preserved, Petite Pairs

Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, More Mustard & for sponging - Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Cajun Craze.

DSP:  Summer Smooches, Orchard Harvest

Cardstock:  Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, More Mustard

Accessories:  Flower from punch pack, 1 1/4" scallop circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, pearl jewels, linen thread, Autumn Accents die, Pumpkin Pie ribbon, ticket corner punch (ret).

This next card reminds me of my dad because he had an old tractor under a tree for years. (Yes, I grew up in Louisiana.  Lol)  I really wanted to stamp a tree over the tractor and hubcaps leaning against the tires.  I may still do that!

And the inside...

Does anyone know why my cell phone made those darker stripes going across the picture?

Stamps:  Harvest Blessings, Lovely Little Labels

Ink:  Early Espresso, Always Artichoke, Baja Breeze, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Naturals Ivory

DSP:  Subtles Color Stack,  Comfort Cafe'

Accessories: Metallic Brads, Artichoke denim ribbon (retired), Apothecary Accents Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits (then I ended up trimming closer to the "barbed wire" frame)

This card will be going to a classmate's 15 yr. old son, who is getting treatments at St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Now, you are going to Robin's Craft Room.

I know you will love what she creates!

Have a blessed day,

Elizabeth K.

May VC Rocks Card Swaps

This was for the Get Well/Sympathy swap.  I will miss you, Puns from the Past stamps!

Ebony and Ivory swap - that really is Whisper White & Basic Gray.

The embossing folders for the Big Shot are so easy to use and add so much to a card.

Kindness for the Floral swap.  I used the new Stampin' Up! triple flower punches.

For the Sugar and Spice swap, I pulled out my Heat & Stick powder and my Irridescent Ice.

I love, love, love Tiny Tags!  So cute, easy to punch and adds that little something extra.

For the fancy folds swap, I did a simple gate fold card.  There's that triple punch flower again.

Here it is opened.

I hope you liked these cards.  Tomorrow I will add more of my swap cards. 

Until then, happy stampin'!
