Birthday card for Bub

Hey everyone hope you like the remodel.  It is actually a work in progress as we are pretty new to the blogging world and want our blog to represent who we are so you will be seeing some changes in the coming weeks.  This is just a quick post as I have so much going on right now with Miranda’s party coming and the consultant release of the Holiday catalog. Here is a sneak peek.

There is so much great stuff in it.  It is a full 8 1/2″x11″ 44 page full color catalog.  Not only does it have 32 new stamp sets but also a lot of new to A Muse Studio products.  Items will be available for purchase August 22nd.  But to make things even better A Muse Studio will begin A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA on Aug 22nd.  This a 6 week promotion all for the hostess.  I mean really we all love this hobby because we love the comradery of sitting around a table with friends and fun projects.  From August 22nd- September 30th there is increased hostess benefits as well as an exclusive hostess stamp set.

Want to get in on these great deals but I am not local, we can get creative, maybe a catalog party is your preference or if you want that oh so fun workshop there are great pieces of technology that are at our disposal to make that happen.  So contact me today so we can save your spot in the funnest 6 weeks of the year!!

Well I guess this isn’t such a short post but it is all so exciting I just can’t help but babble like a school girl in love.  I did make a card today as my brother turns 26 tomorrow and mom needed a card.  This is a hybrid (part cricut/ part a muse studio) but the papers used were actually out of a Reminesce scrapbook kit for camping.  I used the sweet stop sketch 118.  My brother is big into outdoor sports, he even went to school for taxidermy so make him a traditional cute card would not fly.  I hope he likes it.

The colors aren’t showing up great but the sentiment from “Birthday Greetings” is stamped in French Roast and colored with copic YG03.  The border was created with my E2, Cricut Essentials, Zig Zag @ 4″.  Cricut Essentials cartridge is one of the ones that came preloaded on the machine.  I used a dark brown scrap, actually all but the camo paper came from my miscellaneous scraps.  Wow this post may be one of my longest LOL.  Come back soon as there is more news coming!

Stamps: Birthday Greetings

Inks: French Roast and Copic YG03
Accessories: Grass and French Roast Buttons
Camo paper and border sticker are Reminesce

Dad’s A*Muse Studio birthday card

Well today is my dad’s birthday, we are not overly close like me and my mom but I see him on most holidays and his birthday.  But today I had to call him and not see him as I have a horrible cold.  The kind of cold that will mostly likely be bronchitis next week, so no need to spread those germs.  I have missed my crafting so much while we have been doing chocolates, that I just had to sit at my desk no matter how sick I am.  My fantastic downline shared her stamps with me all the way from North Carolina.  She let me borrow her lawn mower from “hey, man”. As soon as I got my A|S catalog I knew I wanted to make my dad a card with that stamp.  He mows half his neighborhoods grass and the family cemetery.  So Happy 52nd Birthday Dad!

Supplies:  All are A*Muse Studio
Stamps: “hey, man”, Make a scene, Contemporary Greetings, Graphic Sunflower
Inks: papaya, fern, memento tuxedo, sky
Copics: R29, BG10
Paper: Sky, Sugar, Sage gingham,

Bubblegum Birthday Greetings

 Sorry for taking this last week off.  Physically I think I had too many projects going at once.  We are really revving up easter chocolates, accepting orders for another week then we will spend the following week delivering. Last Saturday I also hosted my first free A*Muse Studio make n take and will be posting on that later this week.  I did get to make a card today, though I definitely need to order onyx pearl stickers soon because coloring them with a sharpie is no fun when you use 9 pearls on 1 card.  I am not usually much of a pink girl but love how this turned out. 

Stamps: polka dot patterns, birthday greetings
Paper: Shell, onyx gingham, sugar
Ink: Memento-black, bubblegum and copics- RV14, RV21
Accessories: bubblegum ribbon, petite daisies, buttercups, pearl stickers
