Another Challenge!

I love the sketch for the Stampin Royalty sketch challenge (#4). This is my take on it. I hadn't used the Razzleberry Lemonde paper until last night, but love the colors!

I just got the Of The Earth stamp set and decided to use one of the stamps from this set forthe card. I used my markers to color in the stamp and that is how I got the colors on the flower and butterfly variegated. I'll be doing that again as I like the effect.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Challenges - I like 'em!

I've been trying to participate in more challenges. My upline (and sister!) decided to post a sketch challenge on Saturdays to her group and anyone that wants to participate can. I have been trying to find some time to stamp and tonight was it! Here is my card for the Clean and Simple Fall to Layout Sketch #76. FUN and no stamping! That's why I love designer papers. Not only does it dictate the colors you use, but some have such fun and bold patterns, you don't need to stamp! Thanks for looking.

Paper: Shades of Spring DSP, Pretty In Pink, So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Orhid Opulence, and Certainly Celery

Accessories: Heart to Heart punch, Certainly Celery Ribbon, and Dimensionals

CASEd card for Valentine's Day

I saw this card by Tammy Fite and loved it. I decided to make some Valentine's Day cards this year. So, I changed up this card a little with a different flower and different saying. It was really fun making these because depending on where you cut the DSP, the card ended up a little different each time. See? This paper is just so beautiful!

Have a great day and a great weekend! TFL!

All products SU! (paper, ink, Big Shot dies, brads)

Valentine Ladybug Treat Holder

I seem to find a lot of inspiration from the Current catalog! I saw these ladybug treat holders in the catalog and decided I could duplicate it using my Big Shot and Punches! So, that's what I did. I took Real Red and Basic Black cardstock and went to work.

I used the Basket & Blooms die for the holder and cut off the handles. I then punched out a big heart (to cover the cut handle section) and circle (for face). I then punched out little hearts using the new little punch and the Heart to Heart punch. I adhered with the glue stick. For the antenae, I used an insect Sizzlit, cut them off for this, and adhered. I had some googlie eyes, so added them. I used the Word Window punch for the legs. I just cut them on one end to mimic the ones from the catalog. I used the white gel pen to make the smile, and my little ladybug was done! I think she's pretty cute and would look great filled with Valentine M&Ms :)

Thanks for looking and have a sweet day!

To Have And To Hold

A couple of my coworkers seem to have weddings in their future. I love this set and had to buy it when it hit the retiring list eventhough I didn't have any weddings or showers at the time! I'm glad I did though because it will now come in handy!

I also love the Bride, Groom, and Bridesmaid DSPs. I think they are so beautiful. I decided to play around with the papers and stamp to see what kind of look a hint of color would give the image. I'll probably make some more cards as the weddings get closer. I just learned of one's colors and think I should incorporate them into her card.

Anyway, have a great day! TFL :)

Stamps: To Have and To Hold

Ink: Black Classic

Paper: Whisper White, Bride DSP, Elegant Eggplant, and Rose Red

Accessories: White Organza Ribbon, Punches, SU! Markers, and Dazzling Diamonds

Out of this world birthday card!

A big thank you and shout out to my friend Michelle Arthur! She sent me some embossed, stamped images (she's the best!) from the Greetings, Earthling set. I love it. Those little aliens are so cute!

I made this as a birthday card for a friend that moved out of the area. She loves watching the SyFy (hate that they changed the logo of the SciFi channel.) Anyway, I think she'll get a kick out of this card.

I tried to make a little alien spaceship. I cut a circle out of a clear window sheet, then cut it in half. I cut out the ship, then punched out the landing legs from the window punch. I adhered the clear window with a silver brad, then decided to add brads across the little ship. I cut out the little alien and propped him up with dimensionals.

I hope you have an out of this world day/week! TFL :)
