Is It Coffee Yet?

2012-01-26T06:41:00.000-08:00

I was thinking about getting this monkey from CC Designs at All That Scraps and then found this sentiment from Riley stamps at Peddlers Pack and knew it would be perfect for this little guy. Then I felt it needed something else so I dug up the Is it Coffee Yet? from a greeting set I had from a long time ago from Hanna Stamps who isnt around anymore.
I used the sketch from sketch saturday. The papers are some old ones from my stash. I used Spellbinders for both the image and sentiment. Colored the little guy with copic markers and add flowers and ribbon.
Happy Stamping!

Violet!

2012-01-24T05:33:00.000-08:00

This is Violet! Isnt she adorable. You can find her at Saturated Canary. They have some really cute digi images there. I used the circle hearts from nestiblitlies. I made this card for the saturated canary blog challenge. They want you to use one of their images and dies or punches. I also made this card for the sketch at Sweet Stop sketch, which also has a twist of non traditional valentine. Since Violtet is wearing hearts and I used the heart die I thought it could pass for that also.
I found this paper from an old paper pad I have. I love all the papers feel like wallpaper. I added some flowers, ribbon and rhinestones.
I think she is really pretty!

Taylored Expressions!

2012-01-22T07:24:00.000-08:00

I get Taylors newsletters regularly and every once in awhile I love everything and have to get it. This month (I think it was this month) I got several stamp sets and several dies. This card uses the wreath die and the Rose Wreath stamp set. So the wreath and phrase and its hard to see but on the bottom of the wreath are two roses layered with three leaves. These are all from this set. I colored them with copic markers and glittered them up. I also added some pink polka dot ribbon and embossed the white which are both from stampin up and the border punch at the bottom is a new one from Recollections. They have a whole line of stuff at Michaels and they are pink and cream. So I am loving the colors of them.
Happy Stamping!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday!

2012-01-21T20:24:00.000-08:00

This is another card using all Peddler Pack stamps. I used the Uncommon line of papers from Authenique. I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I made the flowers with Marvy punches and added little pearls. Also added some little pearls on the lower right corner. I stamped the image and colored it with copic markers and added some glitter.
Happy Stamping!

Bee Happy!

2012-01-20T20:43:00.000-08:00

I really am liking making this type of cards. They are different and fun.

On this card I used all Peddlers Pack stamps again. I used a martha stewart punch down the sides with white and the card base is real red. The ds papers I used are from the Reminisce line Crazy in Love and this one is called Love Story. You can barely see the striped paper behind the image and then the dotted paper is the other side. I used a heart punch and a spellbinders die for the hearts. The little hearts I ran thru one of the new little embossing folders in the stampin up mini catty. I colored the image with copic markers and added some glitter. I also added some rhinestones along the bottom on the border punched area.

Happy Stamping!

Rain, Rain, Rain!

2012-01-19T08:13:00.001-08:00

So the snow almost totally missed us here!! No fair but oh,well! What can you do!
Lots of rain no. Its 50 degrees already and only 8am. This will probably be our weather for quite awhile now.
Wish I could have been at the beach yesterday to watch the storm. That would have been great!
No card today. But wanted to keep up my new years resolution and post everyday this year!
Have a great day and happy stamping!!

Peddlers Pack!

2012-01-18T06:03:00.000-08:00

Here is another card using all Peddlers Pack stamps. If you like any of the images used with these stamps there is a link on my side bar.
I stamped this image in black and then colored it with copic markers. Its hard to tell in this picture but I colored the vase in red and then used liquid glaze by Inksentials over it to make it look like it is ceramic or glass. The heart on the upper right is done with a Spellbinders die and is embossed in red metallic paper but it is in shadow and also hard to see. I used a Martha Stewart punch with one of the ds papers, red and white cardstock and stamped the greeting on the white. Then topped it off with ribbon and a bow.
I made this card using the sketch at Sketch Saturday.

The Sweet Stop!

2012-01-17T07:03:00.000-08:00

This is my card this week for the sketch at The Sweet Stop. The stamps are all Peddlers Pack stamps.
I used some papers from Making Memories Lovestruck line and layered them with stampin ups blushing bride and very vanilla. Added some lace and a corner punch and a martha stewart border punch.

Snow For Us!

2012-01-16T07:06:00.000-08:00

Yeah! We got some snow yesterday. Not alot but it sure was pretty to watch. It came down hard a few times. I have a few other pictures of the backyard that actually shows it coming down but havent loaded them onto my camera yet. I hope it snows more today!
If you lucky ones get today off for Martin Luther King day, have fun stamping.

Monkeying Around!

2012-01-15T07:22:00.000-08:00

I am just loving these CC Designs digital stamps. This little monkey is sooo adorable.

I havent decided yet if I need more embellishments on him or not or just leave him the way he is. I think he needs a sentiment or greeting but I am still working on it. I got another one of their monkeys, I think he is a latte monkey and I got it because I found an adorable sentiment to go with a coffee drink. So I hope to get to him today but I need to work on Peddlers Pack Valentine samples 1st. So we will see how far I get.

I made this card another card. If you ever want to learn about the Center Step Card you can go to Splitcoast Stampers to the resource section and they have TONS of tutorials on making all different kinds of items. Cards and lots of other projects.

I used some old paper from Paper Pretties that was in my stash and combined it with Pool Party cardstock, added some stampin up ribbon and some flowers and was set. But I think he might need more. I will think about it today as I am working on other cards and let you know if I change it!

Happy Stamping!

You Grow Girl!

2012-01-14T07:16:00.000-08:00

I just think this image is soooo cute. It is fromSaturated Canary. It is an etsy store where they sell digital stamps. This one is called Pickles and Ice Cream. I wanted to make a card for two girls at work that are expecting. I had these BoBunny papers in my stash I think probably for several years at least. I used some new buttons I had purchased from All that Scraps. There is a link in my previous post. After I printed her out, I colored the image with copic markers. I layered on a white scallop circle diecut and also added some of the ruffled ribbon and new little buttons from the stampin up mini catty. Also the sentiment is from stampin ups old retired set Swell News.
I am entering her in the following challenges:

Yummy Cupcake!

2012-01-13T20:36:00.000-08:00

This yummy looking cupcake is from CC Designs. It is a digital stamp and you can find it at All That Scraps.
The flowers are from there also. They have an awesome selection of flowers. You can actually find alot of stuff you might be looking for. Tons of stamps, like Magnolias and lots of other favs, papers, ribbon, spellbinders. All kinds of fun treasures.
I started making this card with two challenges in mind. But my mind took over and I dont think it qualifies for them. The Greetings on this set are from the new set in the Stampin Up mini called Sweet Cake. It is a fun set. This is the only thing I have used it for so far. The papers are from the DCWV paper stack called The Sweet Stack. I colored the image with copic markers and added some glitter. Also some pretty in pink satin ribbon from SU and Pink Piroutte cardstock. I also used the little frame on the greeting from the Tea Shoppe set also out of the SU mini and stamped it with Pixie.
Happy Stamping!

Help Me!

2012-01-12T20:12:00.000-08:00

I promised myself this year I would try to post something every day this year. I ran out of card samples so whats next best my Kitties! Here they are on a blanket right by me. I had blankets for them in two different places on my stamping tables because they always have to be right there. I know, I spoil them what can I say. I like it as much as they do. So of course even tho they had two blankets they both had to be on the same one. This one looks like Sam decided if there wasnt room then he would just lay on top of Keke but it looks like Keke is looking at me saying "Help Me". THe big lug's got me pinned and I cant get up!
They are the silliest cats and I love them to pieces.

Attic Boutique!

2012-01-11T20:54:00.000-08:00

Here is another card made with almost all new things out of the stampin up mini occasions catty. I love, love, love this paper. It is so delicate and feminine. Not all the papers in the set are delicate like this but a few others are. Very Victorian I think. Thats probably why I like it so much. It is called Attic Boutique. The flower is the new set Mixed Bunch and it matches perfectly with the new flower punch. I has used three layers on the flower. I stamped and punched one flower twice and rotated it a little and three d'd it and then stamped another flower from the set and punched it with the scalloped circle punch. The colors are daffodil delight and retired dusty durango. The cardstock is Poppy Parade and I was sure I bought that ink pad with the other in colors but couldnt find it anywhere. So I think the Dusty Durango matches pretty good. I topped the flower off with a brad from the incolor brads in the main catty. I also used a greetings from Sincere Salutations with a few other su punchs and the border punch along the center and scalloped edge border punch. So all su products again on this card.
Happy Stamping!

Marina Mist Doily

2012-01-10T20:52:00.000-08:00

Boy, blogger sure has changed things around. I am having a really hard time figuring out how to download and post with this new system they just seemed to install today. Me and computers arent the most compatible.

My card is all stampin up products. I found a couple of cards this style on Splitcoast stamper. I dont have a direct link but if you go to splitcoast and check out either the Doily stamp or Field of Flowers I think the set is you will find a couple of cards like this one. I used Marina mist cardstock, ink and ribbon. Plus black and the greeting is from a newer set. I am not in my stamp room right now so I cant tell you exactly what this greeting set is called.

I do so much love this doily stamp. I dont know why I dont use it more. I did emboss the back layer on the card. It is with a stampin up embossing folder. So all products on this card are stampin up except the black ink and the white cardstock.

Happy Stamping!

Bordering On Romance!

2012-01-09T07:03:00.000-08:00

This card is made with Bordering on Romance. One of the new sets in the Occasions Mini SU Catty. The ds papers are new also. They are from Attic Boutique. I love this paper. It is so delicate and pretty. I stamp the image and used my watercolor brush and ink pads to colored it. The dies are from the mini and so are the ones at the bottom of the card. Along with little embossing folders to match. I added some ribbon and pearls and fell in love with the card.

Happy Stamping!

Hoo Loves You!

2012-01-08T08:20:00.000-08:00

A friend and coworker loves owls. So I made her this card box set. I used this cute owl from The Greeting Farm. I think he/she is adorable. The papers are from a 6x6 pad from Crate Paper called Random. I added the flowers to the box and used Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon from Stampin Up.

She really loved it when I gave it to her.

Splish Splash!

2012-01-07T07:49:00.000-08:00

This is a digi image from Di's Digi downloads. I saw him on her blog a long time ago and purchased him. I finally got around to coloring him up and making him into a card. In fact my whole card is inspired by the card done on her blog. You can check them out at Di' Digi Downloads. They have lots of cute images.
I printed him out and colored him with copic markers. Then added liquid applique for the bubbles and heated them with my heat gun. I used a new embossing folder from cuttlebug I actually found at Fred Meyers. They are carrying Cuttlebug and Circut products. I made several different cards with him with different ribbons and papers to use up scraps. Also the sparkley swirlys are glittered diecuts I found at Michaels. They are made out of chipboard. All you have to do is peel off the back and stick them on.

1st Centerfold Card

2012-01-06T07:57:00.000-08:00

This is my 1st centerfold card. I have been wanting to try this for along time but thought it would be time consuming, but it was really easy and fun. I had just picked up this polka dotted paper the other day, and this adorable image is a digital stamp from CC Designs. You can get her at All That Scraps. They almost everything you could want there and lots of digi images also.

I printed her out and then colored her with copic markers, cut her out and then after attaching her to the card with foam tape, I glittered the balloons, cupcake top and wings. The ribbon matches my new paper perfectly and it is from PaperTrey Ink. Dont you just love when your supplies match up that come from different companies? I added some flowers and for a little bit of lacey look I added a white strip down the sides and across the bottom with a stampin up border punch. The greeting is from Karen Lockhart and the border around it is from a new stampin up set called Tea Shoppe which is now available in the new Occassions Mini catty. I used taken with teal ink for the border which also matches the ribbon and papers perfectly.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

TeamWork!

2012-01-05T07:26:00.000-08:00

I made a card like this about 1 1/2 yrs ago at a class. I wanted to remake it with different papers and I really like how it turned out. These papers are from Graphic 45 Once in A Springtime Collection. I used some peach cardstock and some lace ribbon with it. The original card was done with distressed inks on watercolor paper, but I did this with copic markers on Neenah white cardstock.

I used some marvy flower punches and some baby pearls.

I think I like this one much better than the one we did in class. It was with dark brown and green and distressed with brown ink.

The stamp is called TeamWork and is by Penny Black.

Can I Borrow Some Weight Watcher Points?

2012-01-04T06:53:00.000-08:00

I made this card with the stamps I won a few months back from Art Impressions. I love the sentiment on this. I have never done weight watchers but can totally understand the feeling.

I used papers form The Girls Paperie and Three Bugs in a Rug Bake Me A Cake collection. I colored the image with copic markers, added some flowers and rhinestones. I made this card for the sketch atsketch saturday.

Penny Black Kitty!

2012-01-03T06:41:00.000-08:00

This is a Penny Black stamp set I picked up in Coos Bay last fall. I think it is soo cute. It would be purrfect for Valentines, thinking of you or birthday. Maybe even Sympathy.

I used some fun Authentique Uncommon Papers that I also picked up at the coast only at a cute little shop in Brookings I think. I paired it with Blushing Bride cardstock and colored it with copic markers and used square nesties to cut it out. The sentiment is from a stampin up set Field Flowers.

I used the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch to make the card.

Also I almost forgot, the flowers and little drops at the top are from Recollections. I picked them up at Michaels. They are so glittery and pretty. The flowers came in pick and white, and the drops come in a range of colors and several sizes. The pink ribbon I have had for awhile. I think I might have picked it up at Craft Warehouse awhile back.

Topsy Turvy Cake!

2012-01-02T07:58:00.000-08:00

Here is a bright cheery birthday card. Nothing christmas or winter about it. I am definately ready for spring even tho winter has just started. But my hubby was working in the yard this weekend and informed me our daffodils are coming up! Yeah!

For my card today I used Topsy Turvey Cake Set from JustRite Stampers. It has three different cakes and some centers, plus the oval sentiment shown on this card. I pulled out some Girls Paperie papers from last year and some of the crinkly yellow ribbon I love. Along the bottom I used a Martha Stewart border punch I just picked up at Paper Zone. So Sad they are going out of business. I made the flowers with some flower punches and added a little dimension and a rhinestone.

Here is another card made with items for the new occasions mini stampin up catty.

I used Island Indigo cardstock, Apothecary Art stamp set, Labels die, Twitterpated ds papers, island indigo ruffled ribbon and finial press embossing folder. I stamped the image with Island Indigo ink and then added some more of it and old olive with my watercolor brush on the flowers and leaves. Then added glitter all around the border and on some of the flowers. I put the strip of ds paper down the side of the white and ran the whole piece thru with the embossing folder.

I love all the new fun stuff they are coming out with. The baja breeze piece behind the teacup is a new die. Stampin up has come out with some new nesting dies.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
We are all done with christmas at our house. Our daughter is spending today with the boyfriends family so we did everything a day early. Christmas Eve on friday with just the three of us and christmas day yesterday with family.
I am going to attempt to stamp today. I havent done anything for two weeks. I think I always get in a slump this time of year due to overdoing it right before christmas. I noticed all the blog challenges are still either christmas related or done until after the new year. So I guess I am on my own.

I love the two tone ribbons.

I had just a couple left over poinsettias and found the gold one. I had three different papers I used and they were all from different companies but matched really good.

New Style of Card Box!

2011-11-28T07:15:00.000-08:00

I decided to do something different with a card box instead of initials. I used the Taylored Espressions set New Beginings (Ithink) its called and some Vintage Springtime paper from SU's mini catty last spring. I added some of my new flowers too. I really like how it turned out. Very soft and vintagey.

Our thanksgiving dinner yesterday turned out nice also.

Red Christmas!

2011-11-19T06:57:00.000-08:00

This is another simple christmas card. I cant remember the name of the set. The greetting set is retired. The ribbon is retired also I believe. I stamped the tree in real red and put some sparkles on some of the stars in the tree. Cardstock is real red and confetti white I think or one of the whites with speckles. I am not much help with the supplies this morning and am off to work. No time to look them up.
I am hoping for snow today and get off early but I know thats all in my dreams.
Happy stamping!

2011-11-15T06:49:00.000-08:00

I cased this card out of the holiday mini stampin up catty. They made theirs with the digital set but I used Christmas Lodge for mine. I stamped it with Cherry Cobbler and Wild Wasabi. Then used the Holly Berry papers. I love those papers. I added a little rhinestone for a little bit of sparkle.

Speaking of mini cattys from stampin up. I recieved my occasions catty in the mail yesterday. It comes out in January. It has some fun stuff in there. I cant wait!!!

2011-11-14T06:09:00.000-08:00

These little guys are from Taylored Expressions. I think they are so cute. They are stamped and then colored with copic markers. I used stampin up punches for the circles, martha stewart icicles punch and spellbinders for the image. The papers are more from the same ds paper packet I used on most of the cards. This is another card done for the troops.

I layered it with cranberry crisp. I was trying to use up some retired stampin up card stock.

The snow and the white brim on santas hat have some glitter added.

2011-11-13T06:42:00.000-08:00

This is another card for Peddlers Pack. I embossed the tree in Gold. I had some gold powder with just a little bit of sparkle in it. Then I added a gold dew drop to the top. I used my oval spellbinders and layered it with gold stardreams papers with my scalloped oval spellbinders. This beautiful gold ribbon my daughter picked up for me over at the coast one weekend. It is so pretty! The white is embossed with swiss dots embossing folder and layered with the gold also.

Oregon Gardens!

2011-11-11T15:37:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow is hubbys birthday but since we are busy we went out today instead. We went to the Oregon Gardens in Silverton. It was really foggy on the way there. The weather was about 45 degrees. But when we got there the sun had lifted there and it was beautiful. Very fallish. We had a good time and are looking forward to going next summer when the weather is better.
Here are some pictures:

The top picture is in the childrens garden. I love this little family made out of clay pots.
Next is some flowers on a tree. This is one of my favorite color combos, a teal and pink. I have never seen them together in real live before. These were flowers on a tree.
Only a few of their water features were going but there were some beautiful waterfalls.
The colors on the tree were fabulous.
The picture is of a plant called Beauty Berries. I have never seen purple berries on a plant like that before. They were really pretty.
So even tho it is November, there is still some beautiful color to be seen. The sun was warm on us just a little. When it is warmer weather I look forward to going on some of the trails that were in the shade today and too cold.
If you get a chance to get to Silverton, check out the Oregon Gardens. They even have a great place to stay there.

Silver Christmas!

2011-11-11T05:54:00.000-08:00

This is a Peddlers Pack christmas tree. Its stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder with just a little bit of sparkle in it. The cardstock is the silver from stampin up and embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder. Added some ribbon and little rhinestones to the tree and a flower star on top.

Christmas Lodge!

2011-11-10T05:55:00.000-08:00

I usd the Christmas Lodge set on this card from stampin up. I was trying to use up some discontinued cardstock on the card for the troops and think the green is True Thyme. It is layered with real read and always artichoke. I stamped the tree in Always Artichoke and the greeting in real red. Then tied the ribbon around the tree. The embossing folder is from stamping also and the greeting is Peddlers Pack.

Peddlers Pack Snowflake!

2011-11-09T20:06:00.000-08:00

Both the snowflake and sentiment are from Peddlers Pack. I stamped and embossed the snowflake in silver and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy. The cardstock is night of navy also. I added a rhinestone in the center of the snowflake and border punched along the bottom. Added some shiny satin ribbon from my store supply and have a pretty christmas card.

Vintage Christmas!

2011-11-07T05:46:00.000-08:00

This card is another Peddlers Pack card. The stamps are all from Peddlers Pack and I think it turned out very vintagey looking. I stamped the image and colored it with copic markers and added some glitter. I love the designer papers on this. They are from Best Creations. They have the best papers. Always with some glitter and/or embossing on them. I added some cream lace and a poinsettia.

I used the sketch fromSweet Sketch Wednesday.

2nd Posting Today and A Few Challenges!

2011-11-06T16:31:00.000-08:00

I made this adorable card for Peddlers Pack. The snowman is one of their stamps. The designer paper is from Best Creations and is called Winter Wonderland. I just love it. I went back to buy more and it was gone. I must not have been the only one that loved it.

I stamped Little Frosty with Soot Black distressed ink and colored him with copic markers. He is cut out with one of the larger Spellbinder ovals. The die behind him I had to cut a little strip out of the center so it would fit on the card. I have two samples of this card because I just love how the blue ribbon goes with it but I couldnt use that ribbon for my sample card so I swapped it out for the white and silver. Also on that card I used two of the swirly dies. One in each corner. It is a memory box die I just picked up and I love it!!! I had started the card before I went to Peddlers Pack but felt it still needed something. Then I found this die and got home and it fit the card perfectly. On the card with two of these I didnt use the dew drops the same. After I colored and die cut the image I added lots of glitter.

I hope you like this card as much as I do. My daughter even wants me to make some for her.

I am actually getting to enter it in a few challenges. Its been along time since I have been able to do that.

Here are the challenges I am entering:

Crafty Catz Anything Goes

Creative Inspirations Lashings of Sparkles ( I think that means lots)

Peddlers Pack Christmas Tree!

2011-11-06T08:37:00.000-08:00

I stamped this Peddlers Pack christmas tree in green and then colored the ornaments with stampin up markers. Then added stickles over the top. The ds paper is from the 6x6 stack I used on almost all the cards for the troops. The sentiment is from a stampin up set and punched out with stampin ups oval punches. Then I added a poinsettia to the upper corner that was also donated for the cards.

Another Card for the Troops!

2011-11-05T06:43:00.000-07:00

I think this card turned out very elegant looking. I used the Christmas Lodge set from the new mini and the stampin up folder and die. The lodge is embossed in gold and the greeting is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and then added some matching misc ribbon. I used foam tape on the top layer.

Happy Stamping!

Samples for the Troops

2011-11-04T06:48:00.000-07:00

Heres a card I used two different papers for. I used the Big on Christmas stampin up set. Colored it with copic markers and glitter gel pens. I added a snowflake and some ribbon. The papers came in a 6 x 6 pad that Marlene donated. These papers were used on all except one card that had ds papers on it. I cut a punch of the papers into 51/4 x 4 and then had 2" scraps left over and made a bunch of these cards. I love these two papers with the snow flakes and candy cane stripes.

2011-10-23T09:35:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!

I know I have posted anything for awhile. Especially a card. I needed a quick card so this is what I went with.

I was trying to make it even simpler for a challenge but I just couldnt do it.

I have been really busy lately. I had two orders in the last two weeks for card boxes and then making kits for Peddlers Pack and of course stamp club.

Next week I am having a get together with a potluck and making christmas cards for Treats for the Troops. I hope to send a nice large batch for them.

So I am keeping really busy but I will have cards soon to show for that. I am trying to keep them simple so I can make more and also so the soldiers will be able to pay the minimal amount of postage possible.

Happy Stamping!

Grumpy Old Men!

2011-10-16T07:01:00.000-07:00

Meet Gus! He is a digital image from Bugaboo Digital Images. He comes in a lot of different images.

I colored him with copic markers. Used a glitter pen on the balloons and his glasses.

I sponged around the image with Always Artichoke. Then added the dew drops.

He is cut out with rectangle spellbinders and then layered with scalloped rectangles with Always Artichoke cardstock. I used one of the banner dies from Spellbinders, inked it up white it was still in the die with a sponge and then stamped the sentiment, which I think is Stampendous.

I used some olive ribbon and the ds paper is from Graphic 45 A Proper Gentlemen Collection. For the strip down the left side I used the SU cheesecloth background stamp.

Same Design, Different Card!

2011-10-12T18:15:00.000-07:00

This is the same design I made the Wee stamp card with. I changed the papers and stamps and added a bow instead of a flower. The stamp is Peddlers Pack. So this card was a sample card, made into kits and being used at stamp club. I love multi purpose projects. Sure cuts down some.

I colored the image with copic markers, used some spellbinder dies and added some ribbon and dew drops.

The papers are so pretty. This is one paper that is two sided from Sei called Winter Song for the base and behind the house is Reminisice Christmas Swirls.

I think the red flowered paper will make great card boxes and I needed to make a bunch of those so you may be seeing some of them here soon.

Gold Reindeer!

2011-10-10T06:05:00.000-07:00

For my sample cards for Peddlers Pack I got a punch of Starfoam stickers. I used them on the corners and also the Greetings too. Thats why its crocked. They are a little hard to get on your card and off your fingers. The deer stamp is Peddlers Pack. I used a nestie die for the deer. Added some ribbon and just colored the ribbon around his neck. The designer paper is from Reminisce called Christmas Swirls Red. It has swirls on one side and poinsettias on the other. It has a little shimmer to it and is very pretty.

Black and White Christmas! 2nd posting today!

2011-10-09T11:31:00.000-07:00

I havent had much time lately for the challenges. Today I was almost ready to need a new sketch and stopped by Cupcake Craft challenges and saw that is was black and white christmas. For some reason I really wanted to participate in this challenge and saw I only had 1 hr and 6 mins left on it. So I jumped to it and made this card. I used all Peddlers pack stamps and some fun black and white papers I had purchased for the card boxes. Colored and glittered the little guys and added some flowers.

I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop and got busy.

I hope you enjoy my quick card.

Here is the sketch for it. I had to tweek it just a little.

Mr Santa!

2011-10-09T06:16:00.000-07:00

This Mr Santa is a Peddlers Pack stamp. I stamped him and colored him with coic markers and glittered his hat. Then I layered him with lacey scallop oval. I found this beautiful gold ribbon at the beach last weekend but sadly its all gone now. I think I used it on almost 20 cards so I did get lots of use out of it.

The papers I used with him are bazzill red, and then Winter Wonderland Collection called Candy Cane from Websters Pages.

I used a martha stewart punch down the edges and added some red dew drops. On one of the cards I added gold dew drops and that turned out really pretty also.

Vintage Tilda!

2011-10-08T08:28:00.000-07:00

This is one of the cards I started last weekend but didnt get finished. This is vintage Tilda. Isnt she cute holding her little ornament. The greeting is from Stampavie. It is a set of holiday greetings.

I used some of my store ribbon and some of last years christmas paper I really liked and only used on one cards. I added some pretty flowers and dew drops. She is colored with copic markers.

Shopping!

2011-10-05T05:56:00.000-07:00

Isnt this little guy the cutest??? He is from Stampavie. I have an extra one in my store supply for anyone interested. I pulled these christmas papers out from last year I think. The gold ribbon is from my soon to be store also. The Cherry Cobbler ribbon is the new stampin up quilted ribbon. It has a nice shimmer in real life.

I used a new EK success punch that is really pretty but then it mostly got hidden. The die is from Spellbinders. I ran it thru twice to pop out the design and then put it back in the die and ran a sponge over the cutouts with cherry cobbler ink on the river rock cardstock. I think the river rock goes perfect with this paper.

I colored the image with copic markers. I wanted the bag to be paper pieced with shiny gold to make it look more like a shopping bag, but maybe with the next one.

Fall Tilda!

2011-10-04T05:56:00.000-07:00

This is a simple magnolia card I made. I had to make lots of them. I used the Forever Fall papers again. They are so colorful. I added some pretty gold ribbon from my store stash and a bow. Also some pretty pearl drops. Alice just happened to have a color that matched my card when we were at the beach last weekend. I paired the Forever Fall paper with Riding Hood Red and Peach Parfait stampin up cardstock.

2011-10-03T06:59:00.000-07:00

I just love the line of digital stamps from Wee Stamps. They are just adorable. I used the papers from stampin ups new mini catty for this card. The flowers I had found online tutorial. They are made out of used dryer sheets. I ran them thru the cuttlebug with a flower shaped nestie, added some stickles. Then I punched out some of the papers I used and added a sugar brad. The bottom of the card is done with a magnolia die and the center a spellbinder die. I added some ribbon from my store.

For the layout of the card I fell in love with a card a found Debbie Olson. I saw it when I recieved the newsletter from spellbinders. She has great work. So I used the layout and came up with this card.

This weekend was very busy. My saturday to work plus my hubbys family over for dinner.
I made Chicken Cordon Blue, scalloped potatoes, broccoli and salad. Plus I made chocolate pie. If any of you have seen the movie The Help, my cake was Minnies chocolate pie recipe. I hadnt seen the movie when I found the recipe and was just going by the picture on the recipe. Then when I was reading the recipe for my grocery list I read about it. I had just seen the movie the night before. Of course I left out the secret ingredient from the movie.
Next weekend is card making at the beach. Alice and I are leaving thursday evening and coming home on sunday so I will have lots of new cards to show. So for this week you will just get to see card boxes because I have been just tooo busy this month for many cards.

This is a cute little digital stamp from Wee stamps. He is just so cute. I printed him out and colored him with copic markers. Then I ran him thru the cuttlebug with a rectangle nestibility.

Anyway, this set is from Our Craft Lounge. It is called Slow and Steady. I have had the turtle paper for about two years. I had bought it when I got a turtle stamp from Stamping Bella I have never used yet. I like how it goes with this turtle. I paired it with Green Galore discountined cardstock. I have about 1 1/2 packages of it and thought I would use it up. The turtle paper is from Three Bugs in A Rug, the Snips and Snails line.

I colored him with copic markers and then stamped the sentiment on top. He would make a cute boy card too.

I really wanted to use some papers from Three Bugs In a Rug called Bake Me A Cake. These are two of the papers from that set. I also used Daffodil Delight and just white cardstock. I added some flowers, a little cupcake at the bottom and some rhinestones in the upper corner. I colored the image with copic markers and then added glittler on the sentiment and Glossy Accents on the balloons. The image is cut out with a spellbinders nestiblitie and then layer with a scalloped rectangle.

This adorabe image is from Peddlers Pack. You can find them on my side bar. They have some great stamps!

My card was made using a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

I really like how colorful and cheery this card came out. I have about 10 birthdays next month so I will be making lots of birthday cards. We will see who gets this pretty card!

Happy Stamping!

Card Box!

2011-08-27T06:34:00.000-07:00

This is the card box to match the cards I showed the other day with the Fabulous Florets set. I added the pink gingham paper with the flowers and love how it looks with it too. It works with both of the flowered papers I have used this week. It will go with the cards as part of the birthday gift. I made 8 card for the box but with the roses on the cards I could only fit 6 in. So I can either give the extras with the gift or have them in my stash.
We are off on a motorcycle ride today. We will see how that goes.
Happy Stamping!

Thinking of You!

2011-08-26T10:37:00.000-07:00

Tilda is just sitting around thinking of you!

I used this pink gingham paper again I just love. It is from Boxer Scrapbook Productions and is just called Dark Pink Gingham. The flowered paper goes so good with it and it is from Echo Park from the Country Drive collection. I used three marvy flower punches, one paper shaper and a stampin up butterfly punch, also some nestibilities. The sentiment is a magnolia stamp. I added some rhinestones and ribbon. Tilda is colored with copic markers and cut out. She is sitting on the ribbon.

Almost Pumpkin Time!

2011-08-24T05:27:00.000-07:00

This is another one of my Peddler Packs sample cards. This cute little pumpkin is from them.

I used papers from Little Yellow Bicycle Trick or Treat line. These papers are really cool. They are a little thicker than normal and shiny. I used the stampin up scallop border punch and a Martha stewart punch. Also a couple of nestiblities for the circles. Added some dew drops and ribbon. The pumpkin is colored with copic markers. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday.

I used Bobunny whooligans spiders for this card. Front and back. I also added some dew drops and used a spellbinders die. I used a martha stewart bat punch and added some glitter. She is colored with copic markers.

I used the Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Fabulous Florets!

2011-08-22T07:57:00.000-07:00

I made a set of these cards for a gift for a friend. I found these papers at a store in Brookings on our trip down the coast. I had heard about the store a few times. Of course I had to check it out.

So these beautiful papers are from My Minds Eye Lost & Found Two. This paper is called Sweet "Blush" Bouquet paper.

I paired it with Stampin Ups Mellow Moss and Rose Red. The stamp set is Stampin Up Fabulous Florets. I used the rock and roll technique (I think its called) with Pretty In Pink and Rose Red.

I added a rose and some glitter, dew drops and used a martha stewart punch for the leaves and spellbinders die. Also rose red ribbon from stampin up.

I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop.

Happy Stamping!

Paul and THe Blue Ox!

2011-08-21T06:44:00.000-07:00

I love to go to the Redwoods and see these guys. I was reading an article about them. They were built between 1961 and 1962. Paul ways 30,000 lbs. Hes a big guy. We like to sit and listen to all the things he says to people as they come in. He has a great comeback for everything. The Blue Ox is the shy guiet type. He never says a word.

As you can see it was foggy. According to the lady in the gift shop its like that most of the time. Bud was asking about growing a redwood tree and she said thats the weather they do best in and if you dont live in it, you have to mist the trees all the time.

Happy Stamping!
