Sweet November Stamps Preview Day 1

Hi Guys,

  Im back today for the first preview day for Sweet November Stamps June Release Im super excited to be a part of this..So without further ado..meet Tadpole Phoebe. This card is super CAS..I used the BG What's Up 6x6 paper pad and simply slapped her on in the corner and added a few pearls with my viva decor pearl pen. The sentiment is from the Technique Tuesday "Bring on the Sun" stamp set. I can't remember the last time a card came together so quickly..and I must say it's a favorite of mine =)
  That's all I have for you today..be sure to check out the other DT girls' Nancy and Marion and of course Amy to see more of the adorable Phoebe! See you back tomorrow for more sneaks! Toodles!

Good morning all!

Ive got another card to share with ya today..this time it's a Birthday card for my sister's friend. My sister chose the image (Tiddly Inks) and I just went from there. The cupcake paper is from the Authentique Celebrate paper pad and the rest is from Basic Grey's Konnichiwa. I cut out a few felt flowers with a PTI die and added some dewdrops for the centers. The sentiment is from my new PTI Big Birthday Wishes stamp set (LOVE!) These adorable Wryn images make any card awesome..so you dont have to do much to them..which is nice=)

Well I better get off the computer..the laundry is calling my name. =/ I Hope you all have a wonderful day! TTYL

Embrace Happiness

Hi all!

I know it's been forever since I've posted anything..I promise I haven't forgotten about you.and I wanna give a warm welcome to all my new followers! =)

So..part of the reason I haven't posted is because I have been on a bit of a card-making hiatus..and I find it really difficult to photgraph my project life pages. But today..my card mojo came back with a vengence lol. I'm in a very springy mood so I used a very light color scheme for this card..papers are from the MME Dolled Up collection. I also pulled out this Stamping Bella image that I haven't inked up in quite a while (it is one of my faves) and a brand new flower punch I got..those tiny things just make me smile=) The sentiment is from the Amy R spring sentiments set..and of course I did add a little stickles here and there but it doesnt show up in the photo. I created the cloud background with Broken China Distress ink and my Fiskars cloud punch. I'm trying a new way of taking my photos so please excuse the huge shadow to the left =(..I desperately need to figure out the best way to take pics of my cards, so if any of you have tips, they would be much appreciated..maybe a new camera will help? ;)

Well, Ive got a busy day of shopping ahead of me so I better scoot..talk to you soon!

Simply Gorjuss

Hola!

Today Ive got a Gorjuss card to share with you..I used the Gorjuss "Forget me Not" image and created my own starry night background by drawing stars with my white Prismacolor pencil and then using Stormy Sky Distress ink over the top..the pencil works as a resist..I like to use this technique for stars,or snow or you could even use it for fireworks or clouds if you wanted to=)

I couldnt find any patterened papers that I really liked with the dark blue background of the image..so I decided to just use kraft cardstock..but it would be way to boring just to slap it on the card.So I decided I would use the larger Nestabilities (labels 10?) and emboss it onto the card front..I just put it face up on top of my card so it wouldn't cut through..and put my tan embossing pad inside the card and ran it through my cuttlebug. it creates a nice frame around my image and a little something on the inside too! Then I cut a few clouds using my PTI Clouds 1&2 die to add a third dimension. And I can't forget the inside because afterall..the sentiment was the inspiration for the scene in the first place. "Perhaps they are not Stars, but rather openings in Heaven. Where the Love of our lost ones pours through, and shines down upon us to let us know they are Happy" So, that's all Ive got for ya today..I hope you enjoyed! Happy Saturday=)

Sweet as Candy

Good Afternoon,

Im a little late getting this post up today..Ive been fighting a little cold and decided to veg out this morning lol.

So, today's card is using the Stamping Bella Uptown Girl "Claudia has Candy" image/sentiment, these Uptown girls are super sassy and I must admit Ive got quite a few of them on my wish list =) One thing that I love about them is how quick they are to color..especially if you paper piece the dress like I did =)Sometimes I just dont have alot of time to color and this is the perfect solution. I used a few papers from the MME Love Me 6x6..I love that these papers dont have to be used just for V-day cards! I also used the MFT Rolled Flower Die..all the flowers were made with this die, I just rolled the smaller ones a little more and then big one,and added Cream Viva Decor Pearls to the centers. So, there ya have it..another cute simple card! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all have a very Sweet weekend!

Screamin Good Time

Hey guys,

Today Ive got another boy Birthday card to share..this one is for my nephew who just turned 3 this week. I used the My Cute Stamps "Eeek a Monster!" stamp set..this little monster is my favorite from the set, but since he is so small I thought I'd stamp several of them to make the image more substantial. I drew their little party hats with my copic multi-liner (.05) to make them little party monsters. The papers are from the MME "True Blue" 6x6..I also used the CC Designs Candle Border Die to create the candles..Love that thing!=) THe little bling-ish thingys are by Martha Stewart..Im not sure what they are exactly..they remind me of those cady dots..but they work nicely for boy cards cuz they arent sparkly..and lastly the sentiment is from Amy R's Birthday Sentiments set. I had alot of fun creating this card, and if you've never tried stacking small images on top of eachother I defintaley reccomend it..it's alot of fun and makes your card that much more interesting! So pull out your stamps and stack away!=) Well that's about it for today..I hope you enjoyed today's card and have a great day!=) Later Gators
