Little Boy's Thank You

"Use from your Stash" challenges have been spreading across the web lately and I have decided to join in.  Here's an oldie but goodie CTMH stamp set that I have held for a couple of years.  Perfect for my son's thank you cards.  Simple, sweet and done!!

So I offer this challenge to you!  Create something from your stash.  Get out that old stamp set that you have never used and put ink to it.

Girlfriend's Birthday Card

I think I managed to capture the sunburn on the ladies above.

Whatcha think???!!

The inside of the card states:  

                Happy 29th Birthday from your 110 lb. friend.

Stamp by Art Impressions called Girlfriends.  Aren't they just adorable!!!

Copic pens and chaulking.

1st Birthday Punch Art

Finally finished...challenged myself with punch art. My cousin daughter's 1st birthday theme is Sesame Street. I hopped around blogland and selected Sesame Street characters to make. It was a fun challenge! 

A Musical Mahalo

My son has been playing Ukulele since he was five so I thought this A Place In Time Stencil would work perfectly for his thank you cards:

I just love this beautiful stencil with the Ilima lei wrapped around the Ukulele.

I used the dauber to apply the ink onto the stencil.  It gives an "airbrush" feel to it.  For a 3D look and feel, I went over the ilima flower lei with Pumpkin Liquid Pearl and then handwrote the MAHALO on each card. 

A Place In Time makes beautiful Hawaiian-kine stencils!!!

Owl Birthday Card

Another quickie, last minute birthday card using SU Owl Punch and Cupcake Punch.  Chipboard letters, star embossing template and pre-made background card made this one a quick early morning project!!  (Yes, I did finish it at 4:30 a.m.)

More graduation cards -- Quickie

Here's another graduation card I created during my lunch hour. The image and word art came from the computer and down below I stuck five $1 coins.  For being so last minute, I was able to finish all 10 in an hour!!

Hangin' Loose with Kona

This is Kona. 

Although I admit I had him for a couple of years and used him only 1 time.

As soon as I saw him, I wanted this stamp set!!  Isn't he adorable?!! Nevermind the high postage cost!! 

 I decided to use the stamp set to create my tea swap card for Mary in Florida.  

The theme of the swap was masculine and the optional colors were blue and green.

 

 The younger version of Kona

which I used for tea holder.  Of course, I had to include teas from Hawaii!

 

 The set all together.  Hope she likes it!!
