Birthday: Cogs with Motorcycle in Red

Aaron made this card for a coworker.  It is the same card, but different colors,  as the card I made last week.

This card is a hodgepodge of old and new.  The motorcycle and sentiments are very old stamps.  The cogs were punched from the cog punch.  The metal cogs are from Tim Holtz.  The stamped cogs are from an Our Daily Bread Designs.  Real Red and Black are the colors.

All Occasion Bookmark with Corner Die

Another bookmark card.  I have had the corner die for a couple of years, but had not used it.  I guess in my mind, I hadn't figured out how to use it.  But with the new tools for intricate dies, I knew this would work.

Autumn 2x2 Square Challenge

This month's challenge was to create a 2x2 square with an Autumn or Thanksgiving theme.  Aaron and I used the same stamps, but completely different results. 

Both acorns were stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I colored mine with More Mustard and Early Espresso markers.  Aaron did not color her acorn because she stamped on More Mustard.

I used Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake with the sentiment traditionally placed.  Aaron used Chocolate Chip for the background and More Mustard to stamp on.  She punched the sentiment and sponged the edge.  Aaron also placed the sentiment non-traditionally, but with a great result.

The stamps and die are from My Daily Bread.

Wedding: Faith Hope Love Center Step Card

My son's brother-in-law is getting married this weekend.  Their colors are pink and light brown.  I used Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, and Regal Rose.  

The stamps are from our Daily Bread.  I used the new Stampin' Up! pansy punch with the matching stamp set.  The punch is not easy to line up correctly with the stamped image.  What a shame.

I have not used stamps from our Daily Bread before, but I am quite pleased.  The stamps printed great, even with the tiny detail.

The center step dimensions took a bit to figure out, but this stamp set needed the center step.
