Tried out the Year After Year Stamp Set

This morning I woke up early and couldn't sleep anymore, so I started stamping. I had wanted to make a small gift to take to some friends tomorrow when we go to dinner as told us we didn't need to bring anything, so I thought I'd make a set of cards! This was a fun set to make. There's two of each one: a baby card, a birthday card, a wedding card and a thank you card. I also made this cute little purse that I cased from . Antoinette Baumann Blake from a Hostess Gift Swap I hosted earlier in the year. For all the cards, I used the Stampin' Pastels with an Aqua Painter. I know this cute little card tote uses retired paper, but I just love it! Dimmensions for the tote are:

11x 9
Score at 4.5 & 6.5 on the 11" side
Score at 1.5 & 7.5 on te 9 " side
Then snip the area on th 2" bottom that is on the 1.5 outsides.

It'll make sense when you're looking at the grid.

Here are the cards that go inside:

This card uses the Print Background and the Chocolate Taffeta Ribbon. Colors are Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink.

This card uses the blue gingham ribbon and the Aida Cloth Background stamp. I used Barely Banana, Bashful Blue and Ballet Blue for the greeting.

For this card, embossed the cake with Iridescent Ice and Embossed the greeting in Silver. I used the Elizabeth Fancy Fibers, and one of the rhinestone brads from the Pretties Kit. I used Basic Black and Brushed Silver papers.

This card uses the Certainly Celery Brads and the Itty Bitty Backgrounds. Colors are Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery.
