Happy Mother's Day!

Here is the Mother's Day card that I made for my mother. I handmade the flower using a Stampin' Up! Scallop circle punch. I will eventually make a video on how to make these. Super easy! I used a Stampin' Up! Sizzix Sizzlit to create the leaves, and two retired Stampin' Up! Stamps for the sentiment and images. These stamps were at the scrapbooking retreat I stayed at! Michelle's Memory Loft in La Porte Indiana is a real treasure! If anyone has the chance to go, please do! Reasonable prices, and just a gorgeous place to stay! Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think! Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's, grandmas, and mom's to be out there!!!

Happy Birthday Steph!

This card I made for a good friend of mine! I sure hope she likes it! Happy Birthday Steph!

I used a Stampin Up stamp for the sentiment, and a stamped image that was colored I got from Peachy! Thanks so much hun! :) I distressed the edge of the stamped image, and inked both stamped sentiment and image with timber brown Staz-On ink. I chalked the edges of the base of the card with VersaMagic Chalk ink.

Please let me know what you think!

Have a wonderful day!

Simple Birthday Card

Here is a simple birthday card that I made for a swap for the Cricut Messageboard. I had to make 10 of them, so I tried keeping it as simple as possible. I heat embossed the cupcake image. Then while it was still hot, I sprinkled iridescent glitter on it (hard to tell in the picture) to add a bit of kick to it. Then I dry embossed the purple with divine swirls cuttlebug folder. I chalked the edges of the dark green background to brighten the card up a bit.

Please let me know what you think!

Enjoy your day!

Reminds me of Fall

Here is a card I made using a Whiff of Joy Stamped image. I got this gorgeous girl from my sweet friend Jessica! I can't thank her enough for sending me such adorable images to color! Thanks so much! I figured this could be used for a simple note card, or a thinking of you card. I used the ribbon because it reminded me of cooking- the pattern of the ribbon. I used a paisley background from a few swaps I participated in on the Cricut Messageboard. I chalked the pattern, chalked the edges of the image to tie the two colors together. I really like how it turned out. It reminds me of fall... not sure why... but it does...

Tell me what you think! I love receiving comments to let me know what you think of my creations!

Similar Children's Birthday Cards

This stamped image was from a stamped image swap. Cute little monkeys blowing bubbles... I thought, HEY! THIS WOULD BE CA-UTE FOR A CHILD BIRTHDAY CARD! So, I took that idea, and ran with it! I had some bright colored embossed card front panels. Number Collage and Happy Birthday Cuttlebug folders were used on these, along with a Stampin Up! stamp. I used Prismacolor Pencils to color the image, using the gamsol technique. I hope you like them as much as I do! Comments are great to let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking!

Another Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas card that I made with non-traditional colors. This was colored with Prismacolor pencils, using the Gamsol Technique. I brightened up a few spots with doodle dots using the white sakura gel pen. I used a bit of stickles to add some pop, divine swirls embossing folder on the backround, and sheer ribbon as well! Please tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Very Merry Card

Here is another card I made to sell at my upcoming craft shows. I really like how this one turned out. This image is a Magnolia Tilda image. I am unsure who I got this image from, because I did get a few images from a few different people. I hope I did them justice on this card! Let me know what you think!

cards for some swaps

Hello to my fellow followers! I hope you all are having a great start to the week!

Here are some cards I made using my GYPSY!!! The first time I cut with it! I LOVE IT! So easy to use! I used Gypsy Wanderings on these cards. I also used my fiskars threading water punch, stickles, Colorbok Adhesive, Chipboard Tags, Stampin' Up! Stamp, some of the papers were DCWV, Cosmo Cricket, K & Co. and a few others I am unsure of the name brand. I used LOTS of scraps up with these cards! I am on a spending freeze, so I plan to use as much of what I have available, as I can! I hope to do well with what scraps I do have. Please tell me what you think!

Congratulations Card

Hello everyone! Happy Monday to you all! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Did anyone do anything to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day on May 1st? I watched the Ustream that Megan from Above Rubies Studio put on! She has lotsa giveaways going on! Make sure to comment on the correct posts by clicking HERE. You have until Tuesday!

Well, on to the Congratulations card...

I had browsed through Mojo Monday's blog, and went with one of their card layouts for this one. I am sorry I don't have the direct link to the layout. I got some patterned paisley like paper from Hobby Lobby (on sale of course!) , and cut it into blocks and layered it on top of some brown recollections card stock, and layered that on top of a navy blue cardstock. I am unsure of the make on that one. I added stickles, chalked the edges, stamped the sentiment and voila! I got the butterfly by stamping it on the patterned paper, cutting it out and putting it on another card stock to make it sturdy. I added stickles to that as well to dress it up. I really like the effect I got! I hope you all did too!
