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!

Elegant Wedding Cake

A friend asked me to make her some wedding cards for the summer, and here's what I came up with!  I used several embossing folders, one of which, is Stampin' Up's "Manhattan Flower.  I also embossed silver paper "trim" for each layer of the wedding cake, and punched the cute little flowers, using Stampin' Up's "Boho Blossoms".  For a finishing detail, I added Stampin' Up pearls.  ~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!

Tea for Two!

 I have fallen head-over-heals in LOVE with Stampin' Up's "Tea Shoppe"!  This set contains this gorgeous tea cup stamp, and quite a few fun sayings!  It does not have a die cut, so if you want the cups cut out, you must do it "old school", but they really aren't that hard.  (Take it from someone who cut around 20 out!).  I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and slightly distressed it with some Early Espresso on a sponge.  I was trying to use up some lace and paper I had for the side.  The banner is from Spellbinders, and the mother's day stamp is a $ bin one from a local craft store.  ~Hoppy Crafting! 

Rue de Fleur-Thanks!

 Here's a couple of quick "thank you" cards I made, using Stampin' Up's "Rue de Fleur".  I used Pool Party and Calypso Coral, along with embossing powders to coordinate.  I even decorated the envelopes with the ornate pen from the same set.  I LOVE this set!  Thank you to everyone who came to my party!  I hope you all enjoy your thank you cards!  ~Hoppy Crafting!
