Lots of new things to share

One of my rewards for hosting my show in February was a great Simply Scrappin' kit called Just 4 You. It's a level three hostess gift (so you could earn one too by hosting a show). I think it is definitely the cutest of the Simply Scrappin' kits. Naturally, I wanted to play with it, so here are my creations. These first cards I made for my friend Christina at http://www.momtomy5.blogspot.com/. She is doing a little blog give away and asked me to whip her up some cards. The baby onesies are my favorite. This idea came from http://laurenm.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ . Check out that whole blog--great ideas there!

Other than the Just 4 You Simply Scrappin' kit, I used the Scalloped Circle punch, the 1 3/8 inch circle punch, Short and Sweet Stamp set, Hodge Podge Hardware from the Occasions Mini Catalog (available March 1st), Soft Sky double stitched ribbon, Old Olive and Close to Cocoa inks, and a rub-on (the "thinking of you") from the Love & Happiness Sale-a-Bration set (only available until March 17th.

My next little project is a matchbox that holds Hershey's Nuggets. I copied this off of one that my upline sent me. So cute!

This one uses the same Simply Scrappin' kit. I added some Soft Sky double stitched ribbon. I used the bunny stamp from the Holiday Blitz set. I stamped it in Versamark ink (it's a clear, sticky ink) and dusted the images with Stamping Pastels.

And finally, I made these cards to swap at my upline's next meeting--in California! Wish I was going, but I'm just mailing them there. These were inspired by a card I saw on www.kwernerdesign.com/blog She has an awesome style and every Monday she posts a "Make a Card Monday" video tutorial. These use the same Simply Scrappin' kit, the 1 3/8 circle punch, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, Soft Sky double stitched ribbon, Pumpkin Pie ink, and the Big Flowers and Short and Sweet stamp sets. There are dimensionals behind the top layer, but it's hard to tell in these photos.
