Stamping Spot Studio

I made another quick 2.5″ x 3.5″ card to thank my card club ladies. Thanks ladies!

Inks: Blush, Petal, Buttercup, Sweet Leaf by Close To My Heart
Papers: Paper Garden level 2 paper pack by Close To My Heart
Other: Flower punches by Stampin’ Up!

And Jax fits! But Mittens says,

“I think I see a piece of you hanging out here…”

I love this stamp set! I shamelessly stole this idea straight from my magnificent upline, Tina Sutton. Close To My Heart had a similar stamp set back in the old “wood mount” days, and when it got retired, I was not happy. But now it’s back in My Acrylix, yaaaay!

All items from Close To My Heart unless stated otherwise:
Stamp set: A Posy
Inks: Junniper, Goldrush, Garden Green
Papers: Cocoa, Crème Brulee, Vanilla Cream cardstock, Creative Basics Veranda paper
Other: Creative Basics ribbon, Big Brad (ribbon tied over the brad), SU! Border punch

I tied the ribbon over a brad and then put it on the card. That way, that ribbon is NEVER falling off!

And Mittens says,

“I love this case of juice cans! Buy more.”

It’s twins for Stan and Sherri! Now I’ve made the quilts, I’ve made the card, and it’s all ready to go!

And Mittens says,

“No typing!”

“I said NO TYPING!”

Another sympathy card. Someone told me these things always come in threes – is that right?

Here’s a close up of the glitter glue:

And Jax says,

“I am hunting the elusive ‘tail’. I see it! I just need to get a little closer…closer…”

Have you ever felt like…”I really should make a bunch of these because when the time comes, I’m just not in the mood?” But then that time never comes, and you need another sympathy card. *sigh* This one is for a terrific Girl Scout troop leader whose mother is no longer with us.

“Laser security system activated!”

I made a bunch of these to give out at work. When I first showed it to my husband, he had NO IDEA there was a candy bar in there. You should have seen his eyes get big when I pulled it out, ha ha!

The inside:

And Mittens says,

“Blog me!”

Recently, I had to go through a co-worker’s computer programming code to figure out how he did something. This is not always an easy task. All you other programmers out there know what I mean – other people’s code can be full of strange logic and disagreeable methods. But while going through the code, it suddenly came to me…this code is wonderful! It’s a pleasure to look at. It’s beautiful. It’s just like how I would have done it, therefore…it’s PERFECT.

I MUST tell him. And what better way to express perfection than giving a Godiva chocolate bar with a big tag?

And Kit says,

“I see something! I see something! …now how do I get it?”

I like this lopsided cake. It makes me feel like I don’t need to stamp straight, lol! Before My Acrylix came around, I would stress out about stamping something crooked.
