You Shine So Bright!

Here is a card I made for a few different challenges. I used a digital image from Instyle Stamps. It is one of their digital images. The hearts and scalloped border are chipboard and painted with glitter acrylic paints. After I started painting I realized I should have colored them 1st because the color of paint doesnt show up very well. The sentiment I googled digital sentiments to find something close to what I wanted. I cant remember what the name of the website was. I colored the image with my copic markers and glitter it. Then layered it with pink Pirouette and black with nestibilities. I had the papers in my stash and also the flowers. I bent the edges of the sentiment to make it 3-d and add some heart ribbon that I had left over from my Peddler Pack cards.
Here are the challenges I made the card for:
Digital Tuesday - Sketch
Crafty Catz - Flowers

Henry and His Cupcake!

I love this little Henry stamp and his cupcake. He is from Whiff of Joy.
For this card I used 4 different spellbinder dies. The cardstock is Early Espresso and Very Vanilla (SU) and also Hawaiin Shores (PTI). I colored Henry with copics and gave his cupcake a little glitter.
I also added some roses and rhinestones. The cream ribbon is SU also.
The ds paper is from one of DCVW and is from either The Kitchen Stack or The Sweet Shoppe. I cant remember which. I was stamping with my Sis yesterday and she let me borrow some of her paper.
I made Henry for these challenges:

Whiff of Joy - Chocolate, Cream and Teal
Little Red Wagon - Lace
CLP Sketch Challenge - Sketch

I hope you enjoy Henry.

Fussy And Fancy Friday Challenge!

Here is my card for fussy and fancy friday challenge. The challenge this week is a Valentines card without pink or red and we used a digi image fromDi's Digis. So I choose this cute little kitty couple. I think they are adorable. I used my copic markers to color them and my new heart spellbinders.
Also for this card I used the sketch for this week from sketch saturday.
I like the way this card turned out. I used papers from a DCWV paper pack I have had for a few years that has lasted even tho I use it alot. It is actually from Nanas baby boy pack, I think its called. Which is funny for being for a boy that is a lot of purple in it.
I used a martha stewart punch and added some flowers. My sentiment at the top is from Peddlers Pack.

Day 3 of Peddlers Pack Week!

This is another card with Peddlers Pack stamps. The image and sentiment are from them. I embossed the sentiment in cold. Then used some gold paper I think I even bought from Peddlers Pack years ago and bazzill red cardstock. I used nestibilities from spellbinders for the sentiment and a little heart punch for the flowers. I used a white card base and some red satin ribbon.
Also I used my new scalloped and regular heart nesties. The medium sized hearts at the top are also from spellbinders.
Happy Stamping!

2nd Day for Peddlers Pack!

This guy was a bit of a challenge for me. The mailman had doggie bones in his pocket and the little doggie that goes with him has a bone in his mouth. So I punched little hearts out and filled his pockets and the dogs mouths with them. The dog is one image. I stamped him once, masked him and then stamped him again. I colored the images with copic markers. Since I couldnt use designer papers I made strips of red and white paper and layered the white strips with red satin ribbon. The bigger hearts I punched with a martha stewart punch and put white dots on the red hearts with a signo gel pen and red dots on the white heart with a red glitter pen. Then I added a bow with the red satin ribbon on the upper corner of the card.

Day 1 of Peddlers Pack Week!

This is day one of my Week Of Peddlers Pack Cards.
All stamps are Peddlers Pack. I used nestibilites and cuttlebug. The papers and ribbon were also given to me by Joyce at Peddlers Pack. I also added the dew drops. I also used the main image stamp as a little bit of a background stamp around the edge. In addition to the dew drops I applied stickles around the edge of the red center piece.
Remember you can vist them here. Or go check them out in person if you can.
You could even take a fun class while you are there.
Happy Stamping!

New Magnolia Tilda

This is one of my new magnolias. I just received her in the mail on friday. I think she is so cute. She is from the You Are  So Special collection that just came out. Some people have her on Pre-Order and some have her available. I used the sketch challenge from the  Just Magnolia  blog challenge.
Also over at Magnolia Down Under you are to reduce, reuse, recycle. That is their challenge this week. So my ribbon is some I have REUSED. It is from a birthday gift from a friend. Part of my gift was actually a Magnolia also.
My card is for one more challenge. It is to have a sentiment.  You can find that challenge here. So three challenges today for this brand new Tilda card.
I used some digital papers I downloaded and mentioned earlier from Fred She Said. You can find her on my side bar. She has great stuff. I colored this image with my copics and some glitter pens. Cut her out and layered her with my spellbinder nestiblitites and added some dew drops and a Stampin Up sentiment.
Happy Stamping!

Design Team #3

I went into Peddlers Pack Stamp store last weekend. I was talking to Joyce (the owner) about being invited to be on two design teams this year. She was asking how that works and I was explaining a little bit about each one.
Then she asked if I would like to be on a design team for her and I said YES! She said I was the 1st one. So I walked out with a bag of Peddler Pack Stamps, some bazzill papers, neenah paper and some ribbon.
I can only use Peddlers Pack stamps. Spellbinders dies are okay and NO designer papers.
So this has been a real challenge for me because anybody that knows me knows what a paper hog I am!!! I love those designer papers.
So I have done a few cards so far and will be dedicating this next week just to Peddlers Pack.
So stayed tuned for cards from them this week.
For anyone that is not close enough to drive to check out their store, you can check them out here.
If you are close enough to go visit them, they have A LOT more stuff than just Peddlers Pack. So go check them out!

4th Card Set!

Here is my 4th card box set. Again I used scraps so I really couldnt tell you where the paper came from but the cardstock is black and pretty in pink. The punch is martha stewart and I framed the monogram with black with a scalloped circle nestie. The ribbon is stampin ups pretty in pink satin ribbon. I love this ribbon, I think it is so pretty and elegant.
Again, if you havent any of the previous card box set notes. This cool box has a magnetic closure on the front. You can get these boxes from http://www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/. She has great stuff. Great ideas too. Also, the monograms are from Talyor too. You get all the letters of the alphabet in square and circles and they have I think think for four different designs aroung the letter. Like this one with the circle and dots. One with two lines. One is black and scalloped. Cant remember what the other is. Then you punch them out. I use one of the stampin ups circle punches. Taylor also has a great selection of u-tube videos on her sight. They are very informative. Thats how I fell for these card boxes. She is great. She also ships very quickly. Even tho she is in like Iowa or Ohio or somethng now, she is still so quick. I ordered on christmas eve day, got a email that it shipped on christmas day and recieved it the monday after christmas. Try to figure that out.

Third Card Box Set!

Are you getting tired of seeing these yet? I still have one more to show and two more to make so there will be some more coming.
These were made with some scraps of one of my favorite papers. I also used a Martha Stewart punch and some of the yummy new Seam Binding Ribbon from the new Stampin up Mini catalogue. I almost have this in all the colors now. They do also have Very Vanilla, so if there is a color not available you would like you can always dye it with your re inkers.
Sorry I am in a hurry this morning. Off to work and stamp club tonight!
Happy Stamping!

Another Card Box set!

Here is another set of cards in a box I did.The punch is Matha stewart and I used Taylored Expressions stamp set again. Also misc ribbon and cardstock. The initials are a down load from taylored expressions.
The paper is orchid opulence (discontinued) and black. The ribbon is Papertrey Ink Moon Mist I think.
I still have two more of these to share and got another order today. This time they requested red, black and white. I think that will be really pretty!
Happy Stamping!
