Stamping with Lori

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Jennifer

Lori and I used to get together pretty regularly to stamp together. However, since having Janette, my Sunday afternoons haven’t gelled yet. I have taken Janette with me a few times, but I was never very productive stamping wise. So this time, we got together yesterday night after the girls went to bed. I’m hoping that our stampy get togethers become more regular soon.

I had two cards that I worked on while at Lori’s and finished up this afternoon during nap time, which was actually about an hour.

First up is a card for our good friend Aric’s upcoming birthday. I used The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #164 for the card layout. I used a technique called Embossed Embossing for  Hambo Hoedown Challenge #71. I hand wrote the sentiment strips and I am going to stamp the inside with happy birthday. I am also submitting this card for the following challenges: Just Us Girls Challenge #142 which was an inspiration photo of a hot dog barbeque and Your Next Stamp Challenge #3 which is anything goes.

This second card is for our nephew’s 12th birthday in July. I used the June Sketch for You to Try for the card layout. Lori hooked me up with that super cute monster paper. It went perfectly with my stamp set. I am also submitting this card for the following challenges: I was inspired by Disney’s Monster’s Inc for Do You Stack Up Challenge #77.

    Wow! You’ve posted two great cards. What a neat technique you chose for the Hambo Hoedown. Makes your card have such a nice masculine feel to it.
