Gift Card Holders for AI!


Today at Art Impressions blog we were to make gift card holders. I decided to use the Tea Time set.
I colored them with copic markers. I wanted some white dots on the tablecloth and used my white liguid applique and then got carried away and started doing white dots everywhere but they seem to only show up very well in the picture on the pink dress.
I used the sketch from sweet sketch wednesday for my layout. I used two different papers for this. The flowered paper is from Memory Box and the other is from the Vanilla Sky collection from SEI.
I didnt have any gift cards so I just put my Red Robin card in there.
Happy Stamping!

Reason to Smile!

This card is made with some of the new stampin up products. The stamp set for the flowers is called Reason To Smile. If you purchase $50 in products in July you get this set for $5. Pretty good deal! I have also you the new paper piercing tools called Essentials Paper Piercing mat. It comes in lots of different patterns to match the dies and there is another set coming out in the new mini catty in August.
I used some retired ds papers with Midnight Muse cardstock (new in-colors). I added some ribbon and then the sentiment is a retired stamp on one of the new banner dies. There are some little baby pearls in the corners also.
Happy Stamping!

Made In Oregon(2nd post today)


Here are two cards I made using the same supplies. All of the stamps are from Peddlers Pack. I didnt take pictures of the inside but I used a smaller version of the lighthouse on the inside.
I just love this lighthouse paper and it made me think that I should make a set of these and send them to my relatives in Wisconsin. It would be perfect for that.
I found the little anchor punch on accident. I forgot I had it. Kati bought it for me when I was making our navy scrapbook albums. (one day I need to finish those). Anyway, I thought it looked perfect on this card. The seashells I bought when we were at the beach this last weekend. I had a bunch already but the new ones I got come in all sorts of fun colors also.

Flower of the Week Tuesday!



My hubby took some pictures of the yard this weekend, during a brief period of sun. Our lilies are starting to bloom one by one. We have these in this yellow and ones in red. They are huge this year. The plants must have doubled in size since last year.
Maybe tomorrow we will get some sun!!!

Make Us Giggle!

Today at Art Impressions Challenge it is to make us giggle. So I choose this busy cow. I think she has either gone thru someones clothes line or else everyone she knows is sharing their clothes with her. I made this card using the sketch at sketch saturday . I used the clothesline cow  for the image and the sentiment are both from Art Impressions .

I colored her with copic markers. I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesda . I really like how it turned out. I love these papers I found at Craft Warehouse when I was up there a few weeks ago.
The stamps are from Asleep On The Job . You can hope on over there and check them all out!

Man Card for Art Impressions!

This week for the challenge at Art Impressions blog , it is a man card or fathers day. I have used this cute bear called Grizzly . I think he has a bit of a dazed look on his face, but I like to think he is deep in thought about somebody. Maybe his papa bear! I colored him with copics and used the thinking of you sentiment. I love the font on this. I used some paper I had picked up somewhere. I know I need more manly papers but they just arent as much fun to buy. But I liked the colors in this one. I actually used one of my very first corner punches on this. I believe it is a Marvy punch. I added some dew drops and some new SU ribbon on the side.

New Card Box!


We are doing card boxes for stamp club this month. The gals didnt want monograms so I am going with this style instead. There are 6 cards in the box. Two each of Thinking of you, Happy Birthday and thank you. (I know this little thank you is a little crooked. So the cards and boxes are all the same except no monogram. So I went with flowers on the top instead. I am working on another pink one and they turn out really pretty also but I am going to try handmade flowers for it because I am going to make them into kits for Peddlers Pack and want to make sure to use product that they sell there. Sol I am hoping to have that finished so but who knows. Its a really busy week coming up!

Flower of the Week!





Instead of a flower this week, I am showing some pictures of our whole yard my hubby took yesterday. It was such a gorgeous day out and the yard is looking so pretty. So of it still needs a layer of dirt but he just finished putting a new layer in the middle section. If we had taken these a few hours later it would have looked even better because we bought some beautiful heather to go down one side.
Thanks for looking!

Art Impressions Monday!

I used this cute little Beanie Whoot set  again for this card and some more of my pink owl papers I got awhile back. I know I have done another card with the owl in pink but for some reason I bought a bunch of these papers, and who can go wrong with pink and brown right? I love the sentiment with this card. It is fun!
I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop . I had to change their oval image to a circle image for this little guy. I color him with copic markers and had to add the googley eyes again. I just love the eyes on these cards because I think it makes them look so real.
Happy Stamping!

Art Impressions Weekly Challenge!

This week at Art Impressions the weekly challenge is Fitness, Workout, Dieting. I have used Out lunch Set . I love the sentiment on it. So one it looks like they are trying to diet and need more weight watchers points. I have used the sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge . I used some pretty flowered paper from K&Co and the polka ribbon looking stuff I picked up at Craft Warehouse with the paper is called Washi tape I think. Seems to be the new thing to use. I bought a few colors and will see what I think.

Flower of the Week! Pansys!

Look at these gorgeous flowers! They are so bright and cheery. They were my mothers favorite flowers and now they are one of  mine. I wished I shared the love of them with her when I was younger but you dont always look at those things when you are young. Now I look at them and think about her all the time. She used to tell me to look at them and how beautiful they were. Maybe thats why I love them so now. I feel like she is close to me when I see them.
Heres to Mom!

Art Impressions Monday!

These girlfriends are having fun having coffees together. Maybe they just went bowling together like I did yesterday with a friend and Kati. We had a great time. But then I sprained my foot somehow and it threw off my last game when I was just starting to get warmed up/
Anyhow on to the girlfriends. These gals are from Art Impressions . They are from the Girlfriends line . They have them for a whole bunch of occasions. The papers I used on this card are from the new Stampin up catty. I thought it would be fun and funky just like these ladies. I colored them with stampin up markers and my watercolor brush. I also used the sketch from sketch saturday .
I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great monday!

Strawberry Season!

I think this might be Strawberry Tilda, I'm not sure. I dont really keep up with all their names. Sometimes they will stick in my head and other times not. I created her for a couple of magnolia challenges. The first one is from magnolia down under seeing double. I was going to put only two strawberries on but then the bow was just crying out for a strawberry. Hopefully that wont disqualify me. Then on Magnolia Stamp Lovers it was something fruity so I went with the strawberries. I made my card using the sketch from Papertake Weekly.
I hope you all had a great weekend!

Pearl Tilda!

I saw a card that I really liked at Scrappy Jans Blog  or she is also called My Little Pieces of Art. I really liked her card so I came up with one very similar. I totally cased her image and then used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The challenge at Magnolicious Highlites is water. I think used a Mermaid and little fishy paper works for  that. Also at Just Magnolia there challenge is anything goes.
I am also entering  my card in the challenge at Little Red Wagon , they want wood on your card so the wine barrel works for that.
If you want some inspiration, you can check out all these sites. They are have some great cards to look at.
