Hippest Hippos for Piper

Our beautiful granddaughter Piper, turns 1 today. For her birthday card I chose the ballerina from the Hippest Hippo Sale-a-bration stamp set. I am getting better with my Stampin blends, and trying to do a bit more coloring. I love how the blends don't leave that line.

We love her sooooo much! Happy 1st Birthday Piper!

Till next time

Sending Smiles Thank you cards

A couple of weeks ago, I held a card class. I wanted to give the girls a thank you card, in appreciation of them supporting my little business. I searched pinterest and found this card. The Sending Smiles stamp set and dies has been used a lot! So many lovely sentiments, to use. Birthdays, Thank you, Sympathy or just a hello! 

I used up some more retired dsp, which is always good! I also did some heat embossing,  something I don't do very often. I loved the end result!

Happy Crafting!
