A quick sympathy card I amde with some scraps on my desk. The background is embossed with the big shot....

Happy Birthday!

Sorry the picture is blurry (it was a last minute pic!) It was my older son's 14th birthday yesterday, so Markus (my 4 yr old) and I baked a cake and cupcakes for him. Markus decorated most of the cupcakes all by himself, and a lot of green icing was everywhere!

For the card, I embossed the Extreme Guitar image on top of one of the Extreme Elements stamps and then simply added some punched out stars, some popped up for dimension.

I'm not sure what this set is even called...I like the way we popped the bird up and of course the mini library clip is a fun accent.

Wild Wasabi is back.....

I love this color, and am so happy it is back with SU's "color renovation". I attended a shoe-box swap a couple of weeks ago, everyone designs a card and brings the supplies for everyone to make their own.

Love this stamp set....

I spent a good part of the day today re-organizing my craft room yet again! I decided that my sewing stuff can't share my craft room space after all, I need the whole room for crafting!
I thought I should make something after all of that....This is Mellow Moss and Kraft. I watercolored the image with white craft ink and mellow moss ink (with my blender pen), added some sparkles in the centers of the flowers, the greeting, the bird (cut out/popped up) and tons of dimensionals...The stamp set is Elements of Style (clear mount).

Tote-ally Tess

This is a b-day card for a girlfriend who also loves to craft and scrapbook. I stamped the images in Staz-On ink and then water-colored with SU crayons. The punched flowers are one of the tiny punches (comes in a set of 3) that are in the Summer mini, with some dazzling diamonds glitter in the centers. I also used the tiny tag punch and stamp set to add the hand-crafted tag...

A wise owl....

This was a card I made my Mom for Mother's day. I have had the woodgrain background stamp forever and had not yet used it. I stamped it on the white c/s and then layered the old olive c/s over that. The owl was stamped from Fox and friends, cut out and popped up in the "tree". I used the new Smooch Spritz (LOVE these!) and just gave the whole card a squirt. I layered a piece of white c/s on the inside and stamped my greeting.

Card Swap

I am going to a card swap tonight so I had to get some cards made today!!
I used the Vintage Vogue set (surprise!) The flowers are made with the scallop punch, and the Sweet Pea DSP. I sprayed them with shimmer mist and scrunched them up. I also used the vintage wheel for the background on the sahara sand layer. I used versmark so it is difficult to see in the picture!

Happy 88th Birthday

for my Grampa! This is a really bad picture because I forgot to take a picture before I gave it to him...so this is with my i-phone. I used one of my favorite sets "Loads of Love". I watercolored with my crayons (all SU products!) and added some crystal effects to the windows to make them shiny.

"Sew" happy!

I made this b-day card for my friend who I sew with. I have had this set (Puns From the Past) forever and had never used it...It is perfect for this occasion
I used the Sweet Pea DSP, and new border punch as well.

Easter Bunnies....

I got the idea for the "easel" card from Heather Summers...I am so glad someone figured out how to make the treat cup cards stop falling over! I used the Sweet Pea DSP and used cheddar bunnies for the inside. The Bunny image is from Eggcoutraments (SU)

Go Canada

I made this honor of our Gold medal snowboarders! I was going for the red and white with Gold, added a few sparkles for the snow. I also embossed the snowboarder with clear embossing powder.

Sweet Treats

I am planning to make a version of this for my son's valentine's to give to his preschool class, but smaller and with cinnamon hearts.

New bird punch

This is a quick Thank-you card I made using the new punches in the mini. That bird punch is just so versatile, love it!

Fox and friends

Love, love, love this set!!! I did some paper piecing with DSP on most of the animals, lot's of dimension, which can't be seen in the photo...turned out pretty cute!

Lot's of Layers

I love how this card turned out, and I even used the "in-colors" that is a first!

Here is the recipe:
Colors: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Sweet Pea DSP, Choc. chip, melon mambo, bermuda bay, and whisper white cardstock

Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Sincere salutations, Tiny tags

Accessories: Striped ribbon, Beautiful Wings embosslit, rhinestone brad, tiny tags punch, dimensionals

Friends..

I made this using the new Vintage Vogue clear mount set. I stamped the image twice and cut out the F and mounted it with dimensionals. The background was stamped in Versmark, and I finished with some bashful blue 1" ribbon, and a button tied with linen thread.

Little monkey

I made this 4x4 "1st birthday" card to co-ordinate with the blanket I made (see below). I used bermuda bay ribbon and cardstock with chocolate chip ink and cardstock

Watercoloring

For this card I used the set "Summer By the Sea" (SU retired). I embossed the image and then watercolored using my crayons, pencils, and blender pen (all SU). I added the white organza with a button tied with some linen thread to finish it off.

More BAB (Build A Bear)

This card is for my friend's daughter's birthday (that I designed the invites for). She had a party where she asked that instead of gifts, people make donations to the OWL Wildlife fund. (She turned 9-how unselfish is that??!!) They came and brought some owls and did a presentation.
Anyways, back to the card....I used choc. chip for the base, very vanilla, embossed with the star CB folder, then the BAB with girl accessories. I cut out the owl and put some big glow-in-the-dark googly eyes so it could look like it ws landing on her hand. Inside, I made a little pocket to hold the donation.
