Magnolia Valentine

Here is a little magnolia valentine. She is so cute with all her hearts. I pulled some more old papers out of my stash for her, punched some white and pink hearts and then ran them thru the cuttlebug with the stampin up hearts embossing folder. I used the sketch from Just Magnolia challenge for the week. I am entering her in a few other challenges also.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp

I made this card for the sketch at sunday sketch and stamp.  I used some old basic grey papers I have had forever. I have been trying to pull out old papers and use some up. I stamped her with a retired stampin up set. I think its called You Grow Girl. I like the sentiments it has. I only have this one set and the previous Saturated Canary preggie girl. Preggi girls are not cards I need a lot of. The sentiment is done with a stampin up punch and die and the girl is cut out with spellbinders dies. I added some flowers and some of the pretty glitter buds I got from Michaels Recollection line. I have found out recently that line is made exclusively for Michaels. They have lots of cool stuff. The ricrac is really old also. One of those that comes with like a yard of several different ribbons thats been laying around forever.
The girl at work I made this card for loved it!

Is It Coffee Yet?

I was thinking about getting this monkey from CC Designs at All That Scraps and then found this sentiment from Riley stamps at Peddlers Pack and knew it would be perfect for this little guy. Then I felt it needed something else so I dug up the Is it Coffee Yet? from a greeting set I had from a long time ago from Hanna Stamps who isnt around anymore.
I used the sketch from sketch saturday. The papers are some old ones from my stash. I used Spellbinders for both the image and sentiment. Colored the little guy with copic markers and add flowers and ribbon.

Violet!

This is Violet! Isnt she adorable. You can find her at Saturated Canary. They have some really cute digi images there. I used the circle hearts from nestiblitlies. I made this card for the saturated canary blog challenge. They want you to use one of their images and dies or punches. I also made this card for the sketch at Sweet Stop sketch, which also has a twist of non traditional valentine. Since Violtet is wearing hearts and I used the heart die I thought it could pass for that also.
I found this paper from an old paper pad I have. I love all the papers feel like wallpaper. I added some flowers, ribbon and rhinestones.
I think she is really pretty!

Taylored Expressions!

I get Taylors newsletters regularly and every once in awhile I love everything and have to get it. This month (I think it was this month) I got several stamp sets and several dies. This card uses the wreath die and the Rose Wreath stamp set. So the wreath and phrase and its hard to see but on the bottom of the wreath are two roses layered with three leaves. These are all from this set. I colored them with copic markers and glittered them up. I also added some pink polka dot ribbon and embossed the white which are both from stampin up and the border punch at the bottom is a new one from Recollections. They have a whole line of stuff at Michaels and they are pink and cream. So I am loving the colors of them.
Happy Stamping!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday!

This is another card using all Peddler Pack stamps. I used the Uncommon line of papers from Authenique. I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I made the flowers with Marvy punches and added little pearls. Also added some little pearls on the lower right corner. I stamped the image and colored it with copic markers and added some glitter.

Bee Happy!

I really am liking making this type of cards. They are different and fun.
On this card I used all Peddlers Pack stamps again. I used a martha stewart punch down the sides with white and the card base is real red. The ds papers I used are from the Reminisce line Crazy in Love and this one is called Love Story. You can barely see the striped paper behind the image and then the dotted paper is the other side. I used a heart punch and a spellbinders die for the hearts. The little hearts I ran thru one of the new little embossing folders in the stampin up mini catty. I colored the image with copic markers and added some glitter. I also added some rhinestones along the bottom on the border punched area.
Happy Stamping!

Rain, Rain, Rain!

So the snow almost totally missed us here!! No fair but oh,well! What can you do!
Lots of rain no. Its 50 degrees already and only 8am. This will probably be our weather for quite awhile now.
Wish I could have been at the beach yesterday to watch the storm. That would have been great!
No card today. But wanted to keep up my new years resolution and post everyday this year!
Have a great day and happy stamping!!

Peddlers Pack!

Here is another card using all Peddlers Pack stamps. If you like any of the images used with these stamps there is a link on my side bar.
I stamped this image in black and then colored it with copic markers. Its hard to tell in this picture but I colored the vase in red and then used liquid glaze by Inksentials over it to make it look like it is ceramic or glass. The heart on the upper right is done with a Spellbinders die and is embossed in red metallic paper but it is in shadow and also hard to see. I used a Martha Stewart punch with one of the ds papers, red and white cardstock and stamped the greeting on the white. Then topped it off with ribbon and a bow.
I made this card using the sketch at Sketch Saturday.
Happy Stamping!

Monkeying Around!

I am just loving these CC Designs digital stamps. This little monkey is sooo adorable.
I havent decided yet if I need more embellishments on him or not or just leave him the way he is. I think he needs a sentiment or greeting but I am still working on it. I got another one of their monkeys, I think he is a latte monkey and I got it because I found an adorable sentiment to go with a coffee drink. So I hope to get to him today but I need to work on Peddlers Pack Valentine samples 1st. So we will see how far I get.
I made this card another card. If you ever want to learn about the Center Step Card you can go to Splitcoast Stampers to the resource section and they have TONS of tutorials on making all different kinds of items. Cards and lots of other projects.
I used some old paper from Paper Pretties that was in my stash and combined it with Pool Party cardstock, added some stampin up ribbon and some flowers and was set. But I think he might need more. I will think about it today as I am working on other cards and let you know if I change it!
Happy Stamping!
