Share & Tell

Remember when you were in kindergarten or first grade and every Monday was SHARE & TELL?  I always wondered what to bring and what to say.  Not any more because I want to share some lovely birthday cards that I received last week (wonderful cards & wonderful birthday!)..

Sweet As A Peach Bundle ~ retiring

You can find YOU'RE A PEACH SUITE on page 60 in Stampin' Up!'s current annual catalog.  It is a sweet set bundled with peachy dies that I used in this card for the peaches.  They add dimension because I used Foam Adhesive Sheets for each of the peaches.  I love foam adhesive sheets (#152815, $8 for 6 sheets that are are 4 1/2" x 4 1/2").  You can find them on page 167 in the annual catalog.  And, did I mention that this stamp set has 12 sentiments everything from birthday to thanks to "Have a Peachy day"!

Red Buffalo Plaid

I made this birthday card for my sister, Sarah, whose birthday is at the end of November.  I had just gotten this Gingham Embossing Folder which you can find on page 9 in the Mini Catalog.  It is part of the SWEET TALK SUITE and you can see two ways to use it in the pictures on page 8.  Use it to create background texture on your cardstock like the Happy Valentine's Day card on the left or use it with ink to create an obvious gingham pattern like the card next to it with the tiny envelopes.  The ink goes directly on the embossing folder so that when it is pressed through the Cut & Emboss Machine it creates texture and design.

I am sure you have seen lots of samples of recent products using the Red Buffalo Plaid.  I like it!  One of my gifts to Sarah was a pillow in this pattern and I even found wrapping paper to match!
