So simple, stamp, heat emboss, sponge and done.

This could be made in all the occasions that anyone would want.

Ribbon: May Arts

2011-11-25T00:05:00.001-05:00

I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving.

It is almost over, and I had a wonderful day.
With all the fixins' and now really stuffed.

Thanks to everyone who visited my blog today.
Hope you will come back again.

Here is a card that I did a couple years ago. I had a lot of ladies liking this card and the sentiment.
Enjoy...

Isn't he the most gorgeous Turkey you ever seen.

Just adorable and cute.

This is the inside of the card.

Love the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again.

So sorry

2011-11-18T13:52:00.006-05:00

So sorry I have been gone so long. I can't believe it has been a month and more since I have had the time to add cards. It sure has been hectic. Things are slowly becoming more manageable for me. I hope to add more cards soon. Please come back again to see the new cards and projects that I want to show you.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
Hope to be back again real soon.

Have a delicious birthday

2011-10-14T10:22:00.001-04:00

Hope you enjoyed those really nice days we just had. I was wondering if that was our Indian Summer Days. Well, lets hope not because we could use a few more nice days before that cold weather comes.

On to my card.

I need a birthday card, so why not make one.

I thought turquoise, mambo melon and black would look great together.

I love the turquoise and mambo melon together.

Isn't the border of hats and presents cute?

It is a Martha Stewart border punch.

And the first time to use it, too.

I like it and hope to use it again real soon.

I am not to fond of the cake stamp, but it worked.

Love the sentiment stamp. I got it from The Stamp Pad in Zoar, Ohio.

If you need to know who makes it, let me know, I will check my stamp and see what company it comes from and let you know.

That's it for now. Hope to see you in a day or two with a few more cards.

I am working on my next Card Class which is in a couple weeks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Make a wish

2011-10-09T11:10:00.002-04:00

Love this card, it is so pretty. I made this card for a special friend. Happy Birthday Susan, I know it was a while ago, but just now getting the card on my blog for everyone to see. I used this card for one of my classes and everyone loved it and commented on how nice the card was. Some of the ladies even said it was there favorite for the day. The designer paper is so pretty. I need to look up the name of the company for the paper, I never can remember who makes the paper. I put the card on the computer in a different room then my scrappin room, so it is difficult to find out all the supplies that I use. The paper is really old and probably not available today. I sure wish I would have bought 25 sheets of it. I think this would make an awesome Christmas Card. Must be the red and olive green mixed together.

I stamped the Make a wish with the window word punch and layered it on red with the modern label punch. More dimensional here, too.

All the punches are from Stampin Up.

The squares are punched 1 inch with the design paper and 1 1/4 inch on the red card stock. I also pupped up the designer paper with a pop up. It gave the card a lot of dimension. With a black sheer bow and large green brads, wow this makes an awesome card.

Thank You for checking out my creations.
Please leave a comment, I cherish every one of them. It means a lot to me.

Love is for the Birds

2011-10-08T11:03:00.002-04:00

Aren't these birds the cutest. and love the hearts.

I made this card an anniversary card. Love the sentiment.

Perfect for a couple love birds that are having an anniversary.

The love birds are from There She Goes Rubber Stamps along with the sentiment also. This is a great set of stamps. You can find them on the right side of my blog and click the name Jessica Knutsen. She is the owner of There She Goes. If you would like a set of these stamps, let me know. I can get them for you.

I colored the image with Tombow Markers.

My color combo is pink, yellow and blue. Totally awesome together.

Come back again to see more of my creations.

Thanks for stopping by...

Sorry for MIA so long

2011-10-08T01:01:00.000-04:00

So sorry for MIA so long, it has been a hectic 2 weeks. Just to much going on.
I hope to get some cards on here real soon.

Here is a card I made a couple weeks ago.
Thank you for checking back. Hope the next time it won't be so long.

I just love this Changito Monkey. He is a cutie and from Stampendous Rubber Stamps. And the blue and red is a great combo. I colored him with prisma watercolor pencils and a few markers.
I used a Darice Embossing folder to make the dots on the red layer of card stock. I think Darice makes the cutest Embossing Folders. Love, love love the gingham blue ribbon. Well, hope you liked my card and hope you come back real soon. Thank you for stopping by.

With Deepest Sympathy

2011-09-23T10:35:00.001-04:00

I made these cards a while ago and wanted to show them to you. I like the flower as the main focal point, it shows up so well. But then, maybe it shouldn't be so bright and bold. So I made another card and didn't put the flower on it, instead I added a small blue rhinestone. It is more toned down somewhat. I think it is all in what the person likes or prefers.

I started with a piece of black cardstock, I ripped out a page from (a not so favorite) book and tore the edge. Glued the torn page to the black cardstock. I stamped the background with a distressed stamp. I like how it distressed the words from the page.

The tag is from Kraft cardstock that has rounded corners. I stamped the Sympathy words on white paper and punched out with the fancy frame punch. Added the flower and crystal rhinestones in the center of the flower and on the small swirl in the middle of the image. And of course I needed to add ribbon somewhere to the card. I think that is my trademark on a card. (Ribbon). I turned the top of the ribbon to make a loop and glued it between the Kraft and white paper.

more toned down than the first card

I think they are both very nice cards.

Paper and Ribbon are both from my stash

Stamp images and Punch are both from Stampin Up.

Hope you enjoyed my cards today and come back again.

Thank You.

It's your Birthday, Wish Big

2011-09-14T10:15:00.006-04:00

I wanted to show you a Birthday card that I made for my nephew.
I didn't want it to sissy looking for him. So I just added a balloon brad and some jute string. The design paper from Karen Foster has all about a birthday, so it worked well for him.
I colored the Big with Tombow Markers. I think it is cute and my nephew will love it.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon.

Cute Candy Bar Purse

2011-09-13T10:37:00.002-04:00

Here is a candy bar or a treat purse I made a couple weeks ago.

So cute and easy to make.

Holds a mini size candy bar or a lipbalm stick.

another view of the purse

I added black ribbon for the handles, I think it works better than the paper ones that I seen on the internet. And of course lots of bling. The bling is from a sticker sheet. Last but not least, I used a library clip for the closure.

Thank you for stopping today
Hope to see you again real soon.

Birthday Wishes

2011-09-12T10:42:00.002-04:00

I wanted to make a clean and simple card with lots of color.

I think this one will fit the challenge.

I used Kraft paper and some design paper to accent the flowers.

I stamped the flowers, colored them with Tombow Markers and then cut them out.

Then I painted the flowers with glossy effects. Then I punched the corners on the top of the card.

Added some ribbon and done.

Stamps: There She Goes (Dance)
Paper: My Stash
Embellishments: Corner Punch, Ribbon and Brads.

Thank you for stopping in today and hope you will come back again soon.

Happy Birthday Poppies

2011-09-06T10:35:00.003-04:00

Here is a very pretty Poppy Card that I made last month.
I love the orange color of the poppies, I colored my poppies with a Tombow Marker the same color as my sister's poppies. She has oodles of them. I have only one poppy plant and it is white with a deep purple center. It is pretty, but I love the orange poppies.

The Poppy Stamp is from Hero Arts
Paper and Ribbon are from my stash.

Here is my sister's Poppies...
aren't they pretty?

If Friends were flowers, I'd pick you

2011-09-05T10:44:00.001-04:00

I seen this adorable bear and just had to have him. I love daisies too, so it was easy to buy him.

I colored him with prisma pencils and blended with OMS.

The daisy is a die cut from MFT and I put 2 flower together with a yellowy/green brad that I put glitter on myself.

I stamped the sentiment on the designer paper. I liked how it looked and I wouldn't have to add another layer of paper for it.

I don't remember the name of the other designer paper, it was in my stash and I liked all the colors and the flowers on it. Went perfect with my bear and daisies.

Stamps: Oopsy Daisy (Bear) My Favorite Things

Thanks for checking out my blog and I hope you will come back again soon.

Happiness comes through doors

2011-09-04T22:41:00.000-04:00

I loved this happiness sentiment, so perfect for a special friend or family member.

This is adorable with the heart embossing folder and the heart designer paper.

Of course I had to add ribbon, so I thought do polka dot to match some of the hearts on the designer paper.

I liked the black card stock, it brings out the other images so well.

Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are always appreciated.

Clam Chowder Day

2011-08-29T10:30:00.003-04:00

For my Club Card for the month of August,

I was given this stamped apron on sea shells design paper.

Now to make the card using the apron. It was a little difficult for me. But this is what I came up with.

I used the cooking background stamp from Great Impressions for the background and on slate blue paper. I found the word Recipe on another stamp from Great Impressions, so that worked for the sentiment. Oh so clever me, thought with all the sea shells on the paper, I needed a clam chowder recipe to put in the pouch of the apron. I found a recipe, copied it and stuck in the opening. Added the bakers twine for the strings and the bow. What do you think?

Inside of the card

I cut out the shells from the remaining designer paper and pop dotted them on the black band.

The inside sentiment stamp is from Great Impressions.

Thank you for visiting my blog and come back soon...

Enjoy a relaxing day

2011-08-28T23:30:00.004-04:00

I love making these Easel Cards.

They always end up so pretty.

I made this card thinking of something elegant. I think it sure did end up very pretty. Maybe not elegant, but close to it.

I made the flower from a diet coke pop can, and the #2 flower die. I added a biggy black brad in the center of the flower to keep it together. I have seen them all over blogland a while ago. Now they aren't so popular. But I wanted to show you how pretty those diet coke pop cans can make a gorgeous flower. I cut the leaves by hand and put a crease in them a little to add dimension to the leaves.

Left angle of the card.

Right angle of the card opened.

This is the front of the card closed.

This is the inside when fully opened up.

Stamps I bought from the Stamp Pad in Zoar, I don't remember who made them. If you are interested in them, let me know and I will see what the company name is on the stamps. My paper is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Father's Day

2011-08-25T01:09:00.000-04:00

I know I am late with this card, but I wanted to show it to you anyway.

Love the browns and blues together.

I used some punches and some twine and of course the lighthouse is a manly image.

Perfect for any father.

I purchased the lighthouse stamp at a dollar store and the sentiment stamp is from SU.

Design Paper is from Karen Foster. And added some twine to accent it off.

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.

For Someone Special

2011-08-15T10:30:00.001-04:00

I just had to have this stamp from Impression Obsession, I knew the little umbrellas would look perfect on this card. I got the umbrellas from Oriental Trader. Yes, I only have 144 of them. Not sure what drink is this color of green. I go to this authentic Mexican Restaurant and a lot of people order the green drinks in those big glasses. So that is where I came up with the color of the drink.

The umbrella is open a little bit and smashed some to get it to lay flat on the card. I attached it with some glue dots.

The green drink and the leaves are colored with prisma pencils and the orange hearts and dots are colored with Tombow markers.
The sentiment label is from Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping in and see you soon

Wishing you the best of everything

2011-08-09T22:55:00.002-04:00

Love this clean and simple card.

I think it looks very elegant, and the rhinestone really set it off. The rhinestones didn't show up very well in this picture, but they are gorgeous. I don't know if you noticed the 3 rhinestones at the bottom along with the 3 under the word Everything. Maybe pearls would have shown up better. I will have to try them the next time.

Inside the card, I added more Design Paper with hearts and a Birthday sentiment.

Design Paper is from Creative Imaginations,

the Marah Johnson Collection,

Stamp is from There She Goes

Martha Stewart Heart Punch

Old Olive Ink

Diamond Rhinestones.

Thank you for stopping by. And see you the next time.

Thank You (Strawberry)

2011-08-07T11:18:00.001-04:00

This is so gorgeous, love the red color.

What do you think of the background paper? Of course you can see that I just stamped the Thank You stamp all over the front of the card.

The strawberry I colored with Tombow markers and added the glossy effects to make it shinny. Punched the circles for the layered look. I added pop ups on the circles to raise it off the card. I like to poked holes in the scallop green circle, it gives the card an additional look. Gorgeous little mint green brads are in the center of the flowers. Isn't this card so cute. Very colorful.

I have seen the background stamping on There She Goes Blog. Jessica does a lot of backgrounds with her stamps. I think it makes a pretty card using the background stamps. A lot cheaper than Designer Paper. Thanks Jessica for the inspiration on background stamping.

Stamps: There She Goes and Flourishes
Paper: My Stash
Punches: Stampin Up

Birthday Wishes

2011-08-06T20:46:00.000-04:00

Love the colors of this card, the purple ribbon is so pretty with the black paper.

I stamped two of the flowers with the purple ink and then one in the middle with black.

Added some diamond rhinestone here and there and wow so pretty.

Also I did the border with the scalloped Stampin Up border punch. Love how this turned out.

The Butterfly

2011-08-06T19:41:00.000-04:00

Sorry, forgot to let you know what I used to make the Yellow Butterfly Card.

The Butterfly used in my card is a Nestibilities Dies.
And Susan, if you want to use it, let me know.

Butterfly

2011-08-06T01:00:00.002-04:00

Here is the prettiest butterfly card.

It is called an Easel card.

I love making these cards, they are so pretty and easy to do.

and here is other positions of the card

and one more position

The card is made with yellow card stock, design paper and vellum.

I ran the design paper and the vellum through the cuttlebug using the scripted A 2 folder to give the paper more texture.

Sponged the vellum paper with distressed ink.

Then added 2 flower centers for the antennas and small beads for the body.

I think the butterfly is adorable.

I thought it would make a pretty birthday card.

Thanks for stopping in.

Hope to see you back here again soon.

Trouble in Blogland...

2011-08-05T22:51:00.000-04:00

I have been trying to access my blog for 2 week now and finally, it works.

I don't know what went wrong with it.

At least now it is working and hope it doesn't go away again anytime soon.

Should have a couple cards ready in a little bit.

Thanks for stopping in and checking out my blog...

now that it is working.

Friends Fur-ever

2011-06-20T21:48:00.000-04:00

I think this is the cutest kitty. The stamp set is a clear set and I think it is from Inkadinkado.

I love how the red sets off this card, and the designer paper is from Imaginations. It is just perfect for this card. Love it. I colored the kitty with prisma watercolor pencils and blended it with a blender pen.

I added a small circle border to the left side, and the border is called Die Namics from My Favorite Things. These Die Namics are awesome and there is so many of them to choose from. I love the paw prints added to the stand up part of the card.

This is the front view of the card.

This is another view of the easel card.

This is the inside of the easel card

This is no day for just a sliver

2011-06-13T02:25:00.002-04:00

I can't believe it has been so long since I have added a post.

I think I am to busy getting ready for my next workshop.

I have my May workshop cards to add sometime, too.

This birthday card is from April workshop.

And believe it or not, I am having my June workshop this Saturday.

So crazy and not enough time in a day.

But then, that is my life style now a days.

Sorry for not posting my new cards when I get them ready.

I hope I can get caught up and be more ready to post at least 3 or 4 times a week.

Anyway this card was so cute with all the cakes lined up across the card. And I love the balloon paper, and with this card being from April, I have no idea the name of the paper. I added Glitter to the strings on the balloons. Turned out really cute. This stamp set is from Stampin Up and the hats and present punch is from Martha Stewart.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Have a great week.

Happy Momerial Day

2011-05-30T01:54:00.004-04:00

To all the HEROES out there serving in our Military, past and present.

I thank you, too for the sacrifice you make.

God Bless America

Dare to Dream

2011-05-24T01:51:00.002-04:00

There is new die cute out there in blog land called Die Namics, from My Favorite Things. They are the cutest shapes, borders and even doilies. They are fabulous. This Kite is one of them. The tails even come with the die. I used some small jute for my string.

The scallop is a border punch from Stampin Up. I think that is my most favorite punch from there. I use it all the time.

I found some awesome background paper for my kite. Love the clouds in the paper. It is from Imaginesce. I know that isn't how you spell that, but it works for me. I will have to look at the paper and see how it is spelled and keep it on my desk for the next time. I have quite a stack of paper from there. Love it.

I bought the stamps a while ago and didn't pay attention who made them, so if you are interested in them, let me know and I can get you the company that makes them.

Well, that is it for me tonight, maybe I can get more cards posted tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Get Well

2011-05-24T01:37:00.004-04:00

This is for all the Lantern lovers out there. Isn't this the prettiest one you've seen in a while?

The colors are very colorful and love the distressed look.

I used my crimper that I actually had to dust it off because I haven't used it in so long. After I colored the image, I run it through the crimper, then distressed it. Very easy to do.

I made a card like this at Robin's, but when I wanted to make one, I hadn't bought the Easter stamp from Stampin Up for the flowers, so I used the new Flourishes stamp. I think it is called Love Letters.

The background is made by using the Lattice Folder in the Cuttlebug.

All the punches used are Stampin Up and the paper is from my stash.

Thanks for checking out my blog.

Have a great week.

Birthday Wishes

2011-05-23T00:21:00.007-04:00

Love, Love these purses. And they are made with the cupcake punch from Stampin Up. Who would have thought that huh?

I punched the purses with 3 different design papers and added the closure and handle. The closure is the small oval and the handle is the medium size oval with the little oval cut out of the middle.

Perfect card for a lady who loves purses, like my daughter. She is now selling 31 Purses. Yep, I need to send her this card. She would love it.

(Hey Chris, here is you card in case it doesn't get in the mail soon. I know it isn't your birthday, but wanted you to see the card.)

Of course added some ribbon and rhinestones and a perfect card.

Have a great week and come back again.

Mr. & Mrs.

2011-05-23T00:07:00.005-04:00

Isn't this the cutest wedding card. There is so many versions of this card in the blog world. This is what I came up with.

Love the flowers and butterflies lace, and this is adorable on this card.

All the hearts are punched out with the large heart punch from Stampin Up along with the 2 different sized ovals.

I added some rhinestones to the bride hearts and black gel dots for the buttons on the groom heart. Don't you love the bow tie, it was hand cut.

The background is the Cuttlebug folder, don't know what the name of it is, but it was lacy and I thought it would be great for this card.

Side view.
Thanks for coming back to check out my new posts.

Happy Birthday Circles

2011-05-20T01:17:00.007-04:00

I needed a colorful birthday card. And this is what I come up with. Aren't these colors great together?

I glued all the circles on and then added the silver stars that come on a sticker sheet. I know the picture doesn't show the stars very good. But that is what is on the circles. The flash on my camera went crazy with the stars shinning.

The Design Paper is from Bo Bunny and the card stock is from my stash.

Stamps and punches are from Stampin Up.

The Scallop Border is from My Favorite Things called Die Namics. The Die Namics are steel dies that you run through your Big Shot or Cuttlebug. You need to check them out on My Favorite Things web site. Let me know if you are interested in any of them.

Wow, second post of the day. I am doing great so far.

Hope to add a few more tomorrow. I have a great Wedding Card to show you and very easy to make. So stop back in tomorrow and hope I have time to put it on here for you to see.

Until then,

Happy Stampin.

Have a beautiful day

2011-05-20T01:03:00.010-04:00

Finally getting back to posting.

I just love this cutie, and isn't this so cute.
This Bear is a stamp from There She Goes Rubber Stamp Company.
The set is called Back in 10. Isn't that a perfect Title for this set.
I colored the bear image with Prisma Watercolor Pencils. This give the image a soft look.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts Company.
The Martha Stewart Border Punch used on the bottom of the card went perfect to finish off this card.
Only thing left to add was the ribbon and just about all my cards have ribbon on them. This is Royal Blue Grosgrain Ribbon.

Thank You for checking out my blog.
Come back often and see more posts.

Thinking of you

2011-05-10T01:53:00.003-04:00

I want to wish all you Mothers out there a

Very Happy Mother's Day

Happy Easter to you

2011-04-24T20:18:00.004-04:00

Just wanting to wish you and your family a Happy Easter.

I know that this is a Birthday Card,

but it is the only card I could find with Easter Flowers on it.

It could be made into a Easter Card very easy.

Love the colors of the tulips.

Gorgeous Spring colors.

The Tulips are made with the Bird punch from Stampin Up by using the wing only.

The leaves are the branch from the same punch.

Cute huh?

Thanks for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful Easter.
Until the next time, happy stamping.

Owl Birthday Card (a different look)

2011-04-23T02:12:00.004-04:00

Here is another Owl Birthday Card. This owl is the new stamp from Stampin Up. Isn't he a cutie. All you do is ink him up and punch him out and adhere it to the card. How easy is that.
I used the same design paper that was on the other owl card. I love this paper, it is so cute with all the different owls on it.

I punched out scallop circles in 2 different sizes and popped them up on the card, added the owl and the sentiment. After that I added some ribbon and a button on top of the bow.

Until next time,

Birthday Owl

2011-04-23T02:01:00.003-04:00

Boy, it has been a long time since I posted a new card that I made.
Hope you like this Owl card, I think it is so cute. This owl punch is awesome. It makes the cutest owl's ever. If you don't have one, I think it's time for you to get one.
*

I am so terrible remembering the designer paper I use, my problem is I make the card and it takes me forever to get it posted and I forget the company that makes this awesome paper. Then when I post it, the computer is in another room and I don't want to go and hunt for the paper to see who made it. But if you like it, let me know and I will see who makes it and let you know.

Thanks for stopping in and visiting my blog.

This card was made from several punches and the nesties die cuts.

Thanks

2011-04-09T02:50:00.003-04:00

This is the most gorgeous tree I have seen in a long time.

I liked the hearts on the tree.

I don't remember the company that made this paper, I bought it from Great Impressions.

The little red hearts in the paper goes perfect with the tree stamp.

I added some sheer white ribbon and that made the card so pretty.

This is the inside of the card. Really simple. Hope you enjoyed checking out my card. Come back again. Thank You.

Happy Birthday

2011-03-29T22:46:00.003-04:00

A very simple but elegant birthday card.

I can't remember who the Design Paper is from, and I used it a long time ago, so the company wasn't on the piece I used. Love it.

This is a stamp that I have had for years and just found it and wanted make a special card for a friend. I think the cake stamp is from Morning Star. It would make a fantastic Wedding Card, it just looks like a wedding cake to me. I know the Happy Birthday stamps is from De Nami. I added some gold line stickers to the DP to add a elegant touch to the card.

A perfect card using Pinks and Browns. They are so pretty together.

Love to hear your comments

Love this DP, it has the prettiest butterflies on it. As soon as I seen it, I had to buy some and make a card with it. This is one of the prettiest stamps from There She Goes, called What's Up Buttercup? Don't you think so? I used a very soft green card stock and matched it up with Sage. Love those two colors together. I really wanted to use prisma pencils, because they blend so well, to color the buttercup image. I love how it turned out. Couldn't let this card go with out ribbon, I added a yellow polka dot bow on it. * *

Thank You for stopping in

See you the next time

Happy Birthday Heart

2011-03-16T00:54:00.003-04:00

I love Easel Cards, they stand up and look great anywhere they are placed. This one I made at my workshop in February with A Valentine's Day Theme, I thought a heart would be great, but didn't want it to be a Valentine's Card. So it ended up being a Birthday Card and I think it turned out great.

This is a side view so you can see more of how it stands up. There is another small sentiment above the Oval Happy Birthday and you can see it when you open the card up before you let it stand by it's self. Cute huh?

I used Bo Bunny paper with lots of embellishments.

Watermelon colored ribbon and flowers, black gel dots for the centers of the flowers. I tried a yellow gel dot in the center, but they didn't show up nice, so I used black. The Happy Birthday is a Gold Sticker and it fit perfect on the oval. Color with Tombow and Zig Markers.

Thanks for visiting my blog and come back soon. I have an other workshop this weekend and hope to get those cards on my blog shortly.

Just wanted to say hi !

2011-03-16T00:37:00.004-04:00

Love the colors of this card. So bright and cheery.

Cute little angel and a beautiful basket of flowers.

On this card, the pink opens to reveal the sentiment.

The red background is only a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2, so it doesn't fold or open at all.

I stamped the ribbon with versa mark and used white embossing powder and heat set it.

Love how it turned out, so cute.

Colored with Tombow markers.

I used the Fiskar's border punch on the top and bottom of the red card stock

and layered it with the stamped angel image on white.

Stamps: Great Impressions

Ink: memento black and versa mark

Papers: red and pink from my stash

Because I Care

2011-03-10T02:02:00.006-05:00

Challenge for the R & A Club.

Make a card with a pink ribbon somewhere on your card. Well, needless to say, a rubber stamp of a ribbon was available and pink ink also. So I stamped me 3 ribbons on a piece of paper. I brought them home and laid them somewhere and then, couldn't find them. So I needed to get the card done and couldn't find the papers, so I thought, I can just cross a piece of ribbon and make my own pink ribbon.

This is what I came up with. I really impressed myself with this card. I think it is gorgeous. I used the Label 14 or 18 nesties, don't remember which one it really is , but I liked it so much and I knew it would make a great center for my card. I made some ribbon flowers and put crystal effects to make them stiff and not fall apart. Glue dotted them in place. Added the Because I care stamp from Stampin' Up. Almost forgot, the background is from the Dotted Swiss Cuttlebug folder. And of course my homemade pink ribbon. Gorgeous don't you think.

*Thanks for visiting my blog and come back again.

Happy Day

2011-03-10T01:39:00.002-05:00

I seen a card like this on Mary Fish's blog. I thought it was so cute. I had to try to make one of my own. I also did a Saint Patrick's Day card just like this, only I added green shamrocks where the orange heart is. It turned out really cute also. I hope to post it sometime this week.

Any way, I cut out squares of 1 1/4 inches in green and white and glued them opposite of each other on the 3 3/4 x 5 inch black card stock. The base of the card is white. The square only came down so far and I added the scallop border of white below the squares. Next I punched the scallop circle in black and layered it with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch in green. I stamped the flowers on white and punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. When I popped it up on the border, looked awesome. And the orange ribbon finished the card.

The inside has the verse and I glued orange hearts by the verse.

I bought the flower stamp at The Stamp Pad and I never even looked who made the stamp. Isn't that awful. I just liked the daisies, so I got it. I just had to add sponging above the flowers to make it look like the sky or clouds.

Hope you liked my card today.

Stop back again soon...

My Little Loveosaurus

2011-03-05T00:37:00.003-05:00

Isn't this the cutest Dino?

So cute,

I made this an easel card so it would stand up by itself.

Love the orange and green.

I made this for my grandson Noah for his birthday.

Noah turned 8 years old. He is such a cutie also. I think this card was okay for an 8 year old.

He just loved the card.

I cut my ovals with the Oval and Scallop Oval Nestie.

I added the Orange Scallop Oval for my layer.

I sponged the edges of the sentiments with Pure Orange Colorbox Ink.

The only thing left was to add ribbon and a button.

Stamp: My Favorite Things

Paper: my stash

Embellishments: Pure Orange Satin Ribbon and Stampin Up Button

Thank You for visiting my blog. I appreciate it very much.

Until the next time, happy stamping...

So many ways to use these flowers...

2011-03-03T01:48:00.006-05:00

This lovely flower is very elegant with the pearl brad in the center. And the DP, love it. I don't remember where it was from. But I sure think it is pretty with the white flower. The flower is from the large and regular scallop punches from Stampin Up. I cut in to the center of each petal. Just a little to give you the petals. Curled the petals with the bone folder. And the leaf, I ran it through the crimper. Pretty cute huh?

This flower is done the same as the first one, but changed the DP, put a button in the center and added a different leaf. I just made it more pointed at the end. Love the brown ribbon on this card.

Once again, just a different leaf and DP. This DP is shimmery and really adds to the card.

Wow, 2 posts in one day. I sure am doing better, lets hope it keeps up. I do have more cards to show you. Wish me luck with getting them posted.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Another great card using the Because I Care

2011-03-03T01:37:00.002-05:00

I just love all the different ways you can use this stamp. So many combinations and color also. This card is on the same sketch as the last one, but look how different it can be done, just coloring, border punch and design paper. I think this is my favorite stamp in a long time.

*Thanks for stopping by

Would love to hear your comments. They are always appreciated.

Happy Birthday

2011-02-25T02:25:00.006-05:00

Love this stamp set.

I colored the flower with Tombow markers. The leaf is stamped with Old Olive Ink.

I cut both the flower and leaf out and popped them up off the card.

And added a piece of Design Paper for my background.

I used the border punch on the little piece of DP.

I put some Stickles in the centers of the little flowers so they would sparkle.

I don't think a card is done with out Ribbon, so I added white satin ribbon to it.

This is another way I used the stamp set.

I like this one also, the teal and black are fabulous together.

My white background is the Swiss Dots Folder.

Stamps: Stampin Up

Paper: Echo Park

Ink: Stampin Up & Memento Black

Ribbon: my stash

Embellish: Stickles Glitter

Happy Birthday Again

2011-02-24T01:28:00.002-05:00

Here is another Birthday Card that might seem like it was here before. They are different only in the flower and the DP. This flower I just creased. I really like the other flower so much better. It is more dainty looking. What do you think?

Scroll down and check out the next card to see the difference in the flowers.

Happy Birthday

2011-02-24T01:18:00.002-05:00

Love this card, the flowers are so pretty. I tried something new with them, first I punched them out with the flower punch and run then through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dot Folder, second I creased them a little bit to make the petals curve some. And 3rd, I used vellum. They are just gorgeous. I did 2 flowers and off centered the petals put a little pink flower in the middle and then added a pale green brad.
The birthday sentiment is from Stampin Up, paper from a paper stack and the flower ribbon is from the Flower Factory.

Thank you for stopping by and come again soon.

Happy Valentine Day

2011-02-22T02:00:00.004-05:00

This is the first Valentine Card I made for this year.

I think Red and Black are awesome for Valentine's Cards.

And the White makes the card more elegant.

I used the Cuttlebug Dotted Swiss Folder for the background.

Isn't the size of LOVE awesome?

with the heart in the middle of the O, how cute.

Doesn't that make the card more special?

Always a card isn't done for me until I add the ribbon.

And last but not least I added the gel stones.

Gorgeous card.

Mostly Stampin Up items were used.

Christmas Spirit

2011-02-20T23:25:00.003-05:00

Soon I will be done with all the Christmas Cards that I made a while ago. Most of them are so pretty, I really wanted to post them. Or they would be lost for ever in my computer somewhere until next year.
I just love the whimsical trees in this card. And really like the red and blue.
Stamps are Great Impressions. Colored with tombow markers and used a gold pen for the trimmings on the tree.

Thank You for stopping by and visiting my blog.
Have a great week...

Holiday Cheer

2011-01-26T00:12:00.003-05:00

Another Christmas Card from 2010.

I liked this Designer Paper, so I thought this should make a nice card with the holiday cup and cheer sentiment.

With the green scallop circle the cup lined up really nice and coloring the cup was so easy.

A little bit of green ribbon and done.

I have a few more Christmas cards and then on to the new cards for the new year.

Believe

2011-01-25T20:59:00.005-05:00

Here is another Christmas Card that I did a while back. A very quick and easy card.

Only colors are red, black and white.

The stamp is from Flourishes. The only color on the image is the red berries and real red ink. I like the way the card ended up. And I might say that this is the first card in a long time that I didn't have ribbon or brads somewhere. My card base is black, the other white/gray is the background of the web page.

Thanks for stopping by...

All your comments are greatly appreciated.

Snowman Globe

2011-01-12T02:36:00.006-05:00

This little snowman is so darn cute, he's actually is behind acetate that is on the snow globe. The globe base is on red paper and white embossed snowflakes, and cut out and glued on to the globe.

I punched the layered tag, added the sentiment and used gold cord to attach it to the gorgeous snowflake background design paper. Last, I attached all this to Sky Blue Cardstock.

*Stamps: Great Impressions

2011-01-02T23:57:00.002-05:00

This is one of my favorite Christmas Cards I did for one of my workshops. I think it is adorable. Love the Snowman, he is so cute.

*Stamps from Great Impressions
Paper is from my stash
Tombow markers
Glitter to help the snow shine.
The Snowman is colored and cut out and popped up and adhered to the card.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back again. I will be posting some more Christmas Cards soon.

Awash Happy Birthday

2011-01-02T01:48:00.003-05:00

Isn't this a pretty card ?
I just love the gorgeous colors and the matching card stock.
This is a two step stamp set from Stampin Up.
First you stamp the outline and then you stamp the fill in areas.
And this stamp set, doesn't match up perfectly at all, no matter how hard you try.
So you just stamp it and that is it.
I added the layered oval tag with the sentiment.
Had to add some dots to fill in the empty spots around the flowers.
I think this turned out so pretty.
I wish you could see the white ribbon, but I couldn't get it to show up in the picture very good.
I don't know who will receive this card, but I think they will be happy with it.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I love your comments as they are so appreciated.

Merry Christmas Everyone

2010-12-16T01:58:00.003-05:00

I have several Christmas Cards to post and hope I will have time next week to add them. I guess with the holidays here, it is hard to find the time to do a lot of things. But I hope to get back into posting more often. Maybe that should be my New Years Resolution. Please stop back again. Thank You.

Happy Birthday Blueberries

2010-12-16T01:46:00.005-05:00

This is one of my favorite stamps from Flourishes. The blue berries are gorgeous. I colored them with watercolor pencils and then blended with a blender pen. And the designer paper is from my stash. I liked the hint of blue and pink flowers along with the wheat or oats, which ever one it might be in the background. The label is from a Nestibilities die. I added the blue polka dotted ribbon to add to the color of the card.

Thanks for stopping by. All your comments are appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to wish everyone a

Happy Thanksgiving

Here is a card I made a while back, just love the turkey, he is so cute.

Also the stamp is from Great Impressions, colored with Tombow Markers and some glitter to the feathers to add sparkle.

Thank You for stopping by and have enjoy your turkey day....*

Finally time to post...

2010-11-09T23:56:00.002-05:00

I wanted to get this card posted last week, but didn't get to it. This card I made for a friend and her favorite color was pink, so here is what I came up with. Can you see this card in purples or even blues. Awesome I would think. I might have to try it sometime.

Anyway, all that is stamped is the Happy Birthday. I punched out the 2 flowers in vellum and then added a small pink flower in the center, then I added a yellow small brad in the center to keep all the flowers together.

The other white flowers is embroidered and glued dotted to form my border.

I don't even remember the company of the design paper, I have had it for ever.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Creepy Spider

2010-11-01T01:33:00.003-04:00

Need to post this Creepy Spider Card on here.

Didn't want Halloween to go away with out this card.

I love how the spider web turned out by inking the spider web folder with black ink and then add the paper and run it through the Cuttlebug.

Then the spider, I punched it out with a EK Success Punch, put some creases in the legs or bend them a little bit.

I thought the spider needed something to make it shine, so I added Stickles glitter all over it. It really does shine a lot.

All that is left was to add the tag and it is made with SU Punches and stamp set also.

I found some spider web ribbon in my stash.

Perfect Halloween Card.

Hope you like it.

Creepy Crawly, oh my golly

2010-10-28T02:42:00.002-04:00

I seen this Halloween Tree and thought I need to make a card using it. This is what I came up with. I think it is rather cute with the spiders falling from the branches.
I used black for my base and added the purple layer. I just bought the spider web MS border punch, loved that. Now I needed green and orange and it would be a Halloween card with all the colors. I loved the creepy spider from SU and it looks great on the orange. So the tree had to be layered with green.
This is my perfect Halloween colors.

Stamps: Great Impressions and SU
Paper: My stash
Punches: MS

Fall Leaves

2010-10-26T02:14:00.003-04:00

Love this card, I did it for my last card workshop. I seen one like it on the Gina K blog. So I thought I would try it. I had to find the right paper that would accept the bleach and turn the right color of the leaves and this paper worked so nicely. I embossed the leaves with Versa Mark, used black embossing powder and heat set it. Now I added regular household bleach with a paint brush just inside the black embossing lines. This card is so pretty in person.

Stamps: Hero Arts
Paper: Beige from my stash
Other: A-2 embossing folder.

Yummies

2010-10-26T01:42:00.006-04:00

Take a look at the cookies on a stick.

My sister made these cookies for my card party a couple weeks ago.

They were so good.

I helped decorate the cookies by adding the sprinkles and adding the gorgeous black and orange ribbon to some of the sticks.

*Can you imagine cookies looking like Candy Corn...

Well, these were really good. And Oh how cute.

I am so thankful to have a sister that will do this for me and my parties.

She is awesome.

Thank You Jan.

Halloween Candy Holder

2010-10-14T02:26:00.003-04:00

Isn't this the cutest?

And yummy Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. One of my favorites.

This design paper is awesome, it is from a new company called Echo Park Paper Company and they just opened in April of this year. There is so many new designs, can't wait to try them. This is the Halloween selection.

I punched the black scallop oval and the purple circle using SU punches. Then, I added the bat. The bat is from MS. I closed the candy holder with a piece of Velcro. The only thing left to do was add purple ribbon for a handle.

If you need the instructions, please contact me and I would be glad to give them to you.

Thanks for stopping by...

Caramel Apple

2010-10-12T00:24:00.006-04:00

Doesn't this look good enough to eat?
Made me think of all the carnivals and fairs, that is what I get first, then the french fries.
Oh gosh, you have to have the french fries at the fairs.
I couldn't figure out how to tear up paper to make it look like nuts.
Any way, the card was stamped on caramel cardstock with black ink. I cut the apple out and added crystal lacquer. Then I found the cutest little sticks and they worked out perfect for this apple. I tied some purple netting around the stick. I made my candy corn using a circle of all 3 colors and glued them and then I cut the circle like a pie and rounded the corners of each piece of candy corn. I stamped the spider web on the purple background, which made it look really like halloween paper. Next I layered the purple on black and added all my layers to an orange base card. Only thing left to do is the circles and I stamped Trick or Treat on the middle one. Love this card. It took a little bit time, but worth it when it was done. What do you think?

*Stamps: Great Impression, DRS and SeeD's

Paper: My stash

2010-10-07T21:55:00.002-04:00

Love the little penguins on this card.

I haven't inked this stamp set yet and I seen it laying in my stash

and thought how cute this could be.

So here is what I came up with.

I colored it with Tombow markers

and paper pieced the cup and saucer.

Using the Nestie scallop and plain circles was perfect for the layers I wanted to use.

This is the inside of the card.

So cute with the sentiment

(you don't know how strong you are

until you've been in a little hot water.)

Isn't that the truth a lot of times.

Stamps: Not sure, but I think Cat's Meow

Paper: My Minds Eye and my stash

Punch: Modern Label SU , Martha Stewart border and Nesties

Embellishes: Brads

Happy Birthday To You

2010-09-22T00:41:00.003-04:00

I wanted to try a clean and simple card. I don't normally make clean and simple cards, but wanted to try anyway. I think it turned out okay, not the greatest, but it will work for me.
With the fall colors it was perfect for the flowers.
I stamped the flowers on orange card stock and colored in the centers with a Tombow Marker. After rounding the corners, I added the brads. Then I added a more orangy color for my greeting. I know the stamp is from SU, but can't remember the set it come from. The flower stamp is from Stampendous I think. A very clean and simple card. Love those cards that doesn't take hours to complete.

Thank You Friends

2010-09-22T00:26:00.006-04:00

Thank You friend...

Isn't this the cutest card with all the animals lending helping hand.

I choose to use up the green paper that I had laying around.

And the DP went with it perfect.

I added a touch of mustard card stock because it was close to the DP color.

Colored with water color pencils and blended with water. I tried the Tombow markers and they were to bold for what I was looking for.

Then I added the circles and the scallop circle to make my sentiment tag.

I used black stickles to make the dots around the scallop circle, and added the gold brad in the middle of the You words.

I used Old Olive Ink for the sentiment.

Especially for you

2010-09-20T02:04:00.004-04:00

This is another card from my August Workshop. I thought I would use a pink color for the Anniversary Card. And the DP with the hearts. Perfect for the theme Anniversary.
I stamped and colored the cluster of flowers (which is the stamp of the month for August) with Tombow Markers. And them I added a dot of Yellow Stickles to the center of the flowers.
And the inside of the card has a half fold showing some of the inside when the card is shut. Great design for the butterflies and dragons. It adds to the whole card whether it is shut or open. I added the bow so it looked like it was around the flower stem.

Merry Christmas Lineup Snowmans

2010-09-09T15:48:00.002-04:00

Don't you just love Snowman's? These snowmans are really colorful and cute. Not your usual Christmas Colors, but I think the more colorful, the more cheery it seems. Love the big Sheer Bow with the snowflake and rhinestone. Makes the card sparkle. I used the word window punch to put my sentiment on and glued it on the DP. With the Snowmans popped up, I thought the words might look better down on the DP.

Stamps: Stampin Up

Tis the Season...

2010-09-09T15:35:00.006-04:00

Everyone is making all these punch art animals, so I seen the Cardinal on someone's blog and I thought I would try it. I think it is kind of cute, but nothing like the Two Step bird. My cardinal is a little bit puggy, but cute in his own way. Love the colors of the card and really Christmasy with the snowflake embossed in the background.

Inside of Card
Stamps: Not sure of where they come from.

Paper: From my stash.

Thank You for stopping at my blog. I did these Christmas Cards in July for my Workshop and I wanted to get them on here before Christmas. I hope I don't over load you with to much Christmas Cards.

Fall is on it's way

2010-09-03T01:08:00.004-04:00

Thought I would try my luck at a fall card and hope the weather turns a little cooler also.

This is an older stamp from Great Impressions. I made a card back in 2008 and thought I would ink it up again. This is so pretty with the fall colors. Just love it. I tried another card with putting brown flower soft in the centers of the flowers, but I was doing this card for one of my workshops and they don't do well with the flower soft, so I just colored in the centers with a Tombow marker. I think it turned out okay with the marker. The sentiment is from Hero Arts and I stamped it on ivory paper and punched out a little green leaf to add color to the tag.

The Design Paper is from Bo Bunny and it was also back in 2008 when I bought it. Amazing that I still had some left.

Inside of the card.

Ice cream anyone?

2010-09-03T00:55:00.004-04:00

With the weather we have been having, the ice cream cone sure looks good.

I tried to make the colors look so yummy.

(Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry).

I just love this stamp set. Each scoop is cut out separately and was the chocolate one ever hard to see to cut out. The other ones were really easy to cut out. But all in all, it was very easy to glue together. I popped it up so it would stand off the white paper.

Cute huh?

It's All About The Journey

2010-09-02T20:03:00.004-04:00

Isn't this the cutest bike. Very old looking for sure.

It looks awesome with the peach color.

I added the pink brads in the center of each wheel

the flowers also matches the color, too.

The rick rack is the new Die-Namics die from My Favorite Things.

Just love them.

So easy to make with the cuttlebug.

I added diamond rhinestones on each corner

to add some more bling.

And last I added the peach ribbon over top of the rick rack.

Thinking of you Bookmarker

I love the colors of this card. And it has a bookmarker inside that you could keep the bookmarker when you no longer need the card. I used gel markers to get the raised look on the flowers. The flower stamp is from Great Impressions and the sentiments are from various stamp companies.

Inside of the card is the removable bookmarker.

Thank You for stopping by my blog. I know it has been a while since I posted, but I hope to get back into it and post regular.

I can't believe it has been over a month since I added a new card.
Wow, I guess I have been very busy. I promise to get some new cards on this blog the first part of next week. This weekend is full with stamp camp, workshop and family reunion.
Hope you will come back next week and check out my blog.

I have my Christmas in July Workshop and the workshop that I am having this weekend. So there will be many cards for you to see.

Thanks for checking out my blog and see you next week.

George, the monkey

2010-07-13T01:19:00.005-04:00

Here is George,

George of the Jungle.

Oh, I just had to make this an easle card so George could stand up and be noticed. I think he is adorable and I would love to see him done with copic markers. I used pencils as I don't know how to do copic markers yet. The DP is from my stash, and I love all the orange and browns. Perfect for the monkey. I used an EK Success border punch for the top border. The card is brown even though it looks black. I added the orange and brown oval tag for the sentiment and that is what helps George stand up so perfectly.

Thanks for stoppin by and have a good day...

I've missed you

Isn't this elephant the cutest ever? Just love it, so cute. This is one of the new stamps from Great Impressions and the jungle plants behind the elelphant is the stamp of the month. I put pop dots on the elephant up so it would be in front of the plants. And the butterfly is also pop dotted also. I added the Shamrock Green Flower Soft on the large leaves of the jungle plants. This really looks cute in person. Added some cute polka doted ribbon on the tag and done. The green paper is the card, and that is where it opens. The blue and pink are glued down together, so it is a 3 1/2' card. but the whole card measures 4'' square.

Happy Father's Day

2010-07-13T00:36:00.016-04:00

Here is the card that was done at my workshop for Father's Day. I added a lot of glitter on the dragonfly. And gel dots for the corners to add bling. Of course I didn't need a lot of bling for a father, but a little bit was okay. I pierced the corners of the dragonfly square and then added the gel dot. I colored the gel dot myself with Acohol Ink so I could get the right color of blue. Love the DP, it is from Karen Foster. The fathers day stamp is from Great Impressions.

This is my card that I wanted to try out. I remembered seeing something like this on someone's blog. And of course, I can never find the card again. So thanks for the inspiration if this is like your card. I like the black and white with a touch of red. Love those circles, too. I think my ribbon needed to be a little bit wider, but that was all I could find. I even had someone tie the ribbon like you would tie a regular tie. I sure didn't know how it was done.

Thank you for stopping at my blog.

And have a great Tuesday....

Happy 4th of July

2010-07-05T02:47:00.003-04:00

Inside of Card
Happy 4th to everyone.
I made this cute card with the cutest bee.
I added white stripes to the red layer to make it look like a flag. I adore the bee, and with the firecracker in his hand, how cute is that. And the Liberty crown on his head.
Cute Cute Cute...
I stamped the blue flower with the scallop circle punch to make my sentiment. Then stamping Happy 4th and layering it to red and blue paper. The whole thing is then popped up on the main card.
The Bee is from Stampendous and the 4th stamp is from Rubber Cottage.

Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July with families and lots of fun things going on.

Happy Birthday

Thought I would show you a card I made in my last workshop.

The flowers are stamped from Vellum and rolled a little bit on the ends to give them a little bit of shape. I punched a little flower from another punch and centered a light green brad through all the flowers to keep them together. The flower ribbon is adorable and it comes from a store here in Ohio that has so much ribbon in it, it is hard not to want every roll of ribbon they sell. And everyone say if you can count your rolls of ribbon, you don't have enough, well I can't count how many rolls of ribbon I have. And crazy me went there the other day and bought 8 more rolls of ribbon. My designer paper is from a stacker. And of course the stamp is from Stampin Up. There is also a paper store that sells paper by the pound. I have entirely to much paper, too. It is awesome paper. Some of the paper is 110#, but I try to just buy the 80# weight. And so many colors, of course I need all the colors.

Thanks for checking out my blog and come back soon for more cards I hope to get on here soon.

Hang In There

2010-07-05T01:34:00.004-04:00

Isn't this a cute kitty? And why not have birds with a kitty.

The sentiment inside the card is perfect for the little kitty hanging on to the tree branch.

Love the color combo so, so cheery.
These stamps are from Great Impressions.

Thank You for stopping by and your comments are very much appreciated.

Have a great day

Special Friend

2010-07-05T01:23:00.008-04:00

A very pretty card. I wanted to make a special card for a friend, and I thought this one was perfect, simple, elegant and special.

This card was made from the Nestabilities Cross Die Cuts.

I layered them and sponged the beige color on the inside of the die cut.

Added some pearls and a bow. Done.....

Birthday Tulips

2010-07-04T02:06:00.003-04:00

Thought I better get some of my cards on the blog before you all think I have quit blogging. I just keep running out of time. My life is so busy right now I don't have time to think. Anyway, here is a fabulous card I did using the Two Step Bird Punch. I love this punch. And I think it makes the most gorgeous tulips.

* this is the inside of the card

I punched all the wings from the bird punch and sponged the edges and glued them to form the tulip and then adhered the tulips to the branch. Then I arrange them on the scallop square, which was run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dot Folder. The last thing to do is pop up the label tag with the sentiment.
Hope you like this card and try it. It is simple and really cute.

Stamps: Stampendous (I think, they are really old ones)
Paper: My Minds Eye and my stash
Punches: Two Step Bird, Label Tab, 1-1/4th Circle and the Nestie Scallop Square
Ribbon: My stash

Happy Birthday Cake

2010-06-13T01:36:00.011-04:00

Love this DP, it is fabulous for this birthday card. I thought at first the black wasn't bright enough for a Birthday Card, but I think it looks okay. At the bottom of the DP there was 3 presents, so I cut one out and glued it to the inside of the card. Made the inside of the card look cute. Anyway, the words are from Clear Stamps. Not sure where I got the cake from. But it worked perfect in the center of my scallop circle. I colored the cake with the sparkle markers and it was so glittery and cute.

When it Rains on Your Parade

Thank You

Sorry, I didn't think I had this on my blog, but I scrolled down and there it was. I guess that happens when you wait to long to post and forget what already is on here.

It has been one crazy couple of weeks.

To much going on at one time.

Here is a card that I have been working on.

Hope you like it.

Another reason for getting the Two Step Bird Punch from Stampin Up.

Isn't this the cutest tulip.

Great card, really quick and simple.

I stamped the Thank You Greeting and sponged it around the edges.

Also I sponged around the tulip rectangle also.

I can't believe no brads and ribbon and still looks great.

Stamps: Endless Creation
Paper: My stash

Thank You for stopping by, hope to get more cards on here soon...

This is a really cute card for someone who might not be having a good day. It is cheery, colorful and should put a smile on their face.

This was the quickest card that I have made in a long time. It when together really easy and fast. Add the layers, punch the corner and glue dot a penny in the slot and I added ribbon and done.

Inside the card:

This shouldn't look gray, it is actually white inside the base card.

My camera must have had a bad day.

Stamps: Great Impressions
Paper: My Stash (you wouldn't believe my paper stash right now if you seen it, it is huge)
Ink: Memento Black
Embellishments: A corner Punch for the penny and ribbon with embroidery thread to tie the ribbon ends together.

Thank You

Another adorable creation made from the Two Step Bird Punch from Stampin Up. I think this bird wing made a cute tulip. I sponged the tulip with Pixie Pink Ink and glued the petals (wings) to form a tulip. And the branch of the Two Step Bird Punch made the stem for the tulip. I used a mint green for my base card, then I added the DP Map, a piece of scrap darker green for the stem and layered the mint green with pixie paper and of course Whisper White. I can't believe I didn't add ribbon or a brad somewhere on this card.

Stamps: Endless Creations
Paper: My stash
Ink: Memento Black and Pixie Pink
Punches: Two Step Bird Punch and Circle Punches from Stampin Up
