It's one of those weeks where I have a whole host of projects in the pipeline and not a ton to share. One of the things I'm diligently working on (had hoped to get them finished
yesterday - oops!) is a set of thank you cards for my friend Meg who just had a baby. Although I knew the colors I wanted to work with, it took me
ages to come up with a design I liked (perfectionist, much?) but I'm finally there.
I've used the new "Baby Bundle" set in clear mount from Stampin' Up! I knew I had to buy this set as soon as it comes out because I'm inundated with babies in my life right now - lots of blessings for family and friends!
I had a lot of fun stamping the background of these cards. I combined
several of the small images on one clear block and stamped them in
Chocolate Chip ink onto the Pretty in Pink cardstock. The background
it my favorite part of the card!
I'm also getting everything in order for a wedding project. 165 wedding favors! The bride has asked for the triangle boxes (remember I made these for a workshop recently?) in SU's "Blueberry Crisp" designer series paper (below right)
I'm going to use Very Vanilla ribbon, a shade of blue cardstock for the scallop circle, and find a cute "love" sentiment to stamp on for the greeting. I'm very excited to put these together - can't wait to show you!
I'm also working on a "Back to School Crafts" piece for
Babble.com, and a guest post project for the darling Caroline over at
Salsa Pie, so those are keeping me busy as well!
I've been absolutely terrible about stopping over to people's blogs lately - who knew summertime could be so busy? I promise I'll make time to head over and see what you've all be up to in the next couple of days.
Thanks for reading Ready, Set, Craft!
xoxo
Joanne
