Lovely Wagon

Here's a sweet card for a good friend.  I used Stampin' Up's "For The Birds" stamp set for the image and colored it in.  I thought that offsetting the squares on the cloud embossing folder really made a cute look.  I used Daffodil Delight and Marina Mist for the card layers.  ~Hoppy Crafting!

Secret Garden

I used the Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating Secret Garden Framelits Dies to create this card.  After stamping each of the flowers, I used a sponge dauber to create a soft look of color on the main flower element.  I hope you like it!  ~Hoppy Crafting!

Happy Birthday, Kelly!

Birthday wishes to my dear friend, Kelly!  I don't want to wreck her surprise, so here's what I made for her a year ago, with the Stampin' Up set "Mixed Bunch" and the blossom punch.  Also used, were the Adorning Accents embossing folders & coordinating Adorning Accents Edgelits, as well as the Labels Collection Framelits, all from Stampin' Up!  ~Hoppy Crafting!

December 25th Swap

 Rounding out my swaps for the Stampin' Up Regional Event, I decided to use these gorgeous ornaments from the Holiday Ornaments Framelits set, and the Window Frames Collection Framelits dies.  I used the paper piercer and the Festive Paper Piercing pack, to create the holes around the Windows Frames.  I had to add the lovely polka dot designer paper as a banner.  Hope you like it!  ~Hoppy Crafting!

Daydream Medallions Swap!

 I'm SO excited to attend my first Stampin' Up Regional Event, soon!  In preparation, I'm feverishly cutting and assembling my swaps.  I came up with this gorgeous "flower" idea, using the set Daydream Medallions and the Floral Frames Framelits.  I'm using Lucky Limeade, Summer Starfruit, Basic Black, and Basic Gray, along with a piece of designer paper from International Bazaar.  I have distressed the Lucky Limeade layer, and used the Scallop Trim Border punch on the Basic Black.  Hope you enjoy!  ~Hoppy Crafting!

Mickey Birthday

Happy 3rd birthday to a Mickey Mouse fan!  He didn't turn out too shabby, if I don't say so!  I used my Mickey Cricut cartridge to cut Mickey, and used some Sizzix Dies to cut the "#3".  After layering, adding packages and some awesome twine, I used the Stampin' Up stamp set "Itty Bitty Banners", and their coordinating die cuts "Bitty Banner Framelits" for the Happy Birthday.  I also used an embossing folder to add character to the background.  ~Hoppy Crafting!

Manhattan Flower Graduation

Oh, Manhattan Flower embossing folder, you never fail to amaze me!  So versatile!  This time I'm using Stampin' Up's Manhattan Flower as a graduation card.  I embossed the Very Vanilla cardstock, then used a sponge and some Early Espresso ink to rub across the raised images.  Then I tied a little gorgeous ribbon around the bottom, added some bling, and used the "Modern Label" and "Word Window" from Stampin' Up, along with Teeny Tiny Wishes" for the sentiment.  ~Hoppy Crafting!

Grad Cat

One of my co-workers wanted a cute cat for a graduation ceremony.  I found this adorable little guy on the Create A Critter cartridge and cut him out.  I used Stampin' Up Rich Razzleberry cardstock and newsprint, as well as Adorning Accents embossing folders and Edgelits.  I also used "Teeny Tiny Wishes" for "Happy Graduation", and punched it out using the word window and modern label punches.  ~Hoppy Crafting!
