Birthday/Gift Card Holder

Hello,  Hope your are all enjoying a nice Fall season and managing to stay healthy.  We have been extremely busy with Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, and basketball games.  But I have finally found some time to add this card that I made for my bestest friend Lisa (Hi! Lisa, hehehe)  It was very simple to make.  I used Stampin Up's Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set.  Stamped it with Momento Tuxedo Black and colored it in with Prisma Pencils and OMS.  I used Sukura Glitter Pens to add some glitter to the frosting and the cherry.  I inked all the edges with Basic Brown ink from SU.  Very easy peasy. :)   Thanks for looking. Enjoy your day.



Halloween Treats

Hello,  hope everyone had a great Halloween.  I made these chocolate suckers and spiders for my kids to take to school with them.  They were very easy to make.  I used the Candy Melts from Wilton.  I melted the candy in plastic squeeze bottles and used Halloween Molds that I got at Michael's.  I had to make 62 for the kids to take to school.  But I got so into making them that I made way to many so the kids were able to give some to other teachers that they have.  I made the spiders for their main teachers.  But they needed to be put in something so I made 6 of the boxes.  Dawn's Stampin Studio is where I found the idea for the boxes.  She has great how to video's. :)  You can get 2 boxes out of one sheet of 81/2 x 11 piece of card stock.  I stamped the top of the box with spiders in Versamark ink.  Wrapped the ribbon around the top added the "Happy Halloween" and popped it up.  I die cut the spider and popped him up but he was missing something so decided to add the googlie eye's now he looks cute.  I lined the bottom of the box with wax paper to keep the bottom "clean".  The boxes were really easy to make and didn't take any time at all.  Enjoy your first day of November, can't believe there are only 2 months left of 2011.  It sure went fast.  Thanks for looking.

Finally A Card to Post

Hello, it has been a long time since my last post.  We had a very busy summer to say the least.  But school is back in session.  So I am hoping to be able to post more regularly.  I was able to go to a crop this past weekend, so I got a few cards made.  It felt good to get back to my stamps and paper. :)  My first card is a pretty simple one, I like simple. LOL  I had a lot of fun coloring this image.  I use to use Prisma pencils and baby oil to color my images but switch to Prisma pencils and odorless mineral spirits and I really like the results much better.  So much easier to blend the colors.  Give a try sometime.  Enjoy your Monday. I will be back tomorrow with another card.  Thanks for looking.

Oh, Baby!

Hello again.  This card came together pretty easy.  I used my scoring board to embossed the lines on the bottom half of the white card stock. Then stamped baby in black ink and used a blue marker to color it in.  Wrapped blue ribbon around it and matted onto a blue card base.  I than added blue rhinestones where the lines intersected.  That is is, nothing to it. :)  Thanks for looking.

Hello again,

Here are a couple more cards that I made last weekend.  I really like how they turned out.  I used my Versa Mark pad and stamped a small flower and a small butterfly on the card base.  I stamped the images in black ink and colored them in with colored pencils and baby oil.  I used a glaze pen on the darker part of the buckets and used glitter pens on the flowers.  Very easy peasy.  I will be posting a baby card tomorrow.  Thanks for looking.  :)

Waiting

Hello,

Hope ya'll are enjoying your summer so far.  Ours is in full swing.  Kids are keeping me busy.  I have managed to needle out some time to make a few cards though.  I made this one with the 4th of July in mind.  I just love this little dog, he is waiting patiently for his "Marine" to come home. :)  The saying is what I stamped on the inside of the card, and I think is says it all. I stamped the image in black and colored it in with colored pencils and baby oil. Thanks for looking.

Masuline Birthday

Okay, I don't know about any of you, but I really have a hard time making Masculine cards. One because I don't have a lot of stamps that can be used for a man. I tend to go more towards that flowers and such for stamps. And I had asked my dear friend Lisa if she had any idea's. Well, she had sent me this tree stamp for my Birthday and said that it would be good for masculine cards. Well, I inked it up and this is what I came up with. So what do you think? Is this a good masculine card? There is no bling what so ever one it so I figured it would be good to send to a man. hehehe I took a Curved Rectangle Nestabilities and cut out the shape on a piece of scratch paper than placed it over the card front and inked up the open space, stamped the tree and sentiment in a darker ink. It took me all of 5 Min's to make, gotta love that. LOL Thanks for looking.
