Oh, how I adore this set from Lizzie Anne Designs! You know, any sentiment with baby in it is totally ME. :) This weekend at the lake house, I was trying to use the whole sheet of 12x12 paper like my friend Lisa Zappa. She just whips out cards... totally gives the phrase "gettin' er done" a new meaning! I wasn't as creative with layouts, but I used "almost" the whole sheet. I guess I need more practice.
You stamp the image on the designer paper, cut it out, then stamp your image again on the card stock (shimmery white here), then glue your cut out piece over the top. I added some shading with my SU! watercolor crayons and my aquapainter.
The stitching is not my beloved machine, but the stamp set Shapes and Stitches... fooled yah huh? I didn't want to give my husband a coronary by packing up my machine too. He said the boat was full.... pffftt.
The designer paper is My Mind's Eye.... I scored a big pack from Costco after seeing it on Taylor's blog.
This one with the trees is two sheets of paper, cut into strips, then pretend stitched with my Lizzie Anne set.
The trees are also colored with my watercolor crayons and my aquapainter. I then added some highlights with my Sakura Gel pens. The main card stock is all Stampin'Up!, but the ribbon was just pieces of scraps I had in a bag. Some of it's SU!, some Cindy Ribbon, some... who knows what. It was the whole "limited supplies thing." I was packin' light baby.
My friend Bev arrived back to Chicago late last night... I missed her this am while brewing my coffee.... that girl loves coffee. (Did you drink any water today Farton?)Pam and her both arrived home safe and sound. I can't believe they both traveled so far to hang out and stamp with me.... thanks girls!!
I had to run one of my twins to Eugene for an ortho appt. and of course sneak in a quick stop to Costco and Toys R Us (for the birthday girl) today. Tomorrow more company is arriving.... family to celebrate Averie and my husband's birthday. Oh my.... I also need to register my twins at school tomorrow. Where has August gone? Anyone know?
As always, thanks for stopping by, and for your sweet emails and comments!! I'm working on some blog candy!! Bevie Pearl brought me stuff for my blog... how sweet is she?

No way! This stitching is from a stamp? I think you just sold several of those sets, my friend! I looked really close and still can't tell it's not real. You're just too good!
Happy Birthday, these cards are wonderful, can't believe that stitching is from a stamp.
Very cute cards - TFS! Alex

Totally adorable! I especially love the pink and brown card with the cups and mittens.
I love these cards!!
Ok, I've been drooling over your cards with all the stitching for weeks...so cool looking, but alas, I totally can't sew and don't own a machine. But I can stamp! I need to head over and get the stitches set to accent my cards. Your cards are so cute! Thanks for sharing, and next time your in Eugene and have time, I'd love to meet you and treat you to lunch!
oH, MY GOODNESS!! There's that beautiful paper again. I searched for hours yesterday on the net and turned up nada, nothing, zilch! I have another iron in the fire that I hope pans out.
The cards are fantastic. I just love your work, your composition is out of this world. TFS.
LOVE the sentiment too. Those two little cocoa cups are too cute. LOVE the cards.

Love the coffee card! So increadbly sweet:)
These are so pretty! Love that you used non-traditional colors. :)
I like both of these cards a lot, but that first one is totally adorable! It's just perfect! The colors are fabulous! I love looking at your blog! Thanks!
These are so amazing! I remeber when you first started sewing and now you are the queen! The DP is gorgeous! Every detail is perfection!
Okay, I just went back to read and you did fool me! Are the stitches on both of the cards stamped? I think I need this set because I do not sew!! But I love the look!
I just love these so much! You did a fantastic job!! You are such an awesome artist! keep up the great work! Hugs! Ash~
