Fun At The Beach!

So, I went to the beach with the girls. We had a fun time. We drank, ate watched a couple of movies, played cards and I made purse kits for the girls. So the top picture is of them holding up their purses. They loved them. The bottom picture is of cookies Michelles mom decorated for us. Arent they adorable?? I love how she made little flipflops out of nutter butter cookies.

Exciting News!!

This has been a really exciting week for me stamping wise. 1st I heard from Art Impressions and they would like me to be on their design team. I was really excited to hear about that. They contacted me because of a card I entered in their contest last month.
Then I got hired to work at the Heatfelt Creations booth at the Scrapbooking Convention next friday and Saturday. I will be doing the make and takes. I saw on their newsletter they were looking for people so I inquired just for fun and they hired me. I cant wait for that! I am thrilled and scared to death at the same time.
Tomorrow I am off to the beach for the weekend with some co-workers. We are going to be having some fun hanging out. We will be doing some drinking and I am taking the supplies to make the purses like I made. We will see how this works out!
Cant wait!

Friends!

This is another Peddlers Pack sample card. This little bunny is tying the bonnet for the duck. It is so sweet. This was another sketch that I am too late to put enter in. Probably a whole week too late. Oh well! I used rose red card stock and some more best creations designer paper. I made the flowers with some marvy punches. Ran them thru the swiss dots embossing folder to give them a little dimension. The rose red card stock is run thru an embossing folder also. Added some ribbon and pearls.

Easter Bunny!

Here is another sample card I made for Peddlers Pack.

 I used all Peddlers Pack stamps, a martha stewart punch, cuttlebug embossing folder and nestibilites. The papers are pear pizzaz cardstock and best creations designer paper.

I did use a sketch but it expired awhile ago.

Happy Stamping!

Wee Bunny!

 

I saw this image from Wee stamps and fell in love. It is so adorable. The great thing about it is that it is digital and after falling in love I could get it right away.

After printing it out, I cut them out with my oval nestie and the scallop edge is also a nestie. I used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp. Colored it with copic markers and added some glitter. The ds paper is from Best Creations and I paired it with daffodil delight. I added some flowers and the greeting from All Holidays from stampin up is punched with the oval su punches.

Happy Stamping!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday!

This is my 1st Lily of The Valley card. I think it looks like so much fun to jump into the middle of a cupcake.
I used doodlebug papers, pixie pink and so saffron cardstock. Added some little glitter buds, flowers and ribbon and also used one of my new Martha Stewart punches.
I made this card using the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Easter Egg Hunt

I received some Peddlers Pack stamps to make sample Easter cards. For this card I used the Egg Hunt stamp and colored it with copic markers and then glittered it. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the grass and made two layers of grass for dimension. I used my smalled oval nestibility die for the eggs and punched a bunch out in different colors and placed them in the grass all ready for an easter egg hunt. The papers are designer paper by Karen Foster Easter Egg Hunt Collage Paper and bashful blue cardstock from stampin up.

This is my 1st try with this type of card. As you can see I must have gotten a fold wrong. But it was fun trying it. The designer paper is from Recollections. It can only be purchased at Michaels from my understanding. I paired it with Blushing Bride cardstock. The senitment is from Hero Arts and this is my newest magnolia. (One of them!). I also used my new martha stewart punch across the top and some mini flowers I punched out and scrunched around with a stylus and added a pearl to each and also added some ribbon.
I purchased my 1st batch of Lily of the Valley stamps this last week or so also that I cant wait to play with after I get them and some other new girls and some Easter stamps.
So stay tuned for some fun stuff. Too bad I have to work tomorrow and cut into my stamping time.
Happy Stamping!

New Punch!

Have you seen these new

Martha Stewart Punches? They are called All around the Page I think. I love how it looks all lacey. It has a great template right on the punch base. So I had to punch this paper 9 times. One of the flowers is the size of the punch and the whole design is the size of the base. Then I used my new butterful spellbinders die with Melon Mamba designer paper and vellum. Added some rhinestones and ribbon. I have layer the punches piece onto Melon Mamba cardstock.

I also got a great deal with punches at Michaels. A 40% coupon on three different punches. What a deal!

Wild Thing Cards!

I made the cards to go with my Wild Thing purse. Here they are. I really like how they turned out. I didnt put a lot on them because I didnt want to cover up this yummy paper. It is made by Anna Griffin. The black part is felt. Very soft.  These pictures show the true colors that the purse didnt. I had to use my flash on the purse. It always takes the true color out. I layered the ds papers with black and then on a cream card base. There are 4 greetings from Verves Circular greetings,(I think).

Wild Thing!

I have another purse to show. I really like the way this one turned out. I dont have cards made for it yet but they will be made with the same papers. I had to use my flash so it washed out the brownish gold color in the paper, but it looks good like this also I think.

I also made this gray one that is with the twitterpated papers like the pink one was so the same cards I made for the pink one work with this one also.

Vintage!

Isnt this little Tilda cute?? I just love her. Of course she is wearing Pink, my favorite color so I have to love her even more. I pulled out a could of pages of my Magnolia papers. I had two full sheets and one scrap of the 6x6 and I was able to make two cards with it. I dont like to use my magnolia papers because then they will be gone. But they sure are special.
I used some of my pretty prima carnation flowers, some pearls, then I had some lace ribbon and I layered it with stampin up tiny pink ribbon.
I made this card for the following challenges:
Magnolicious Highlites Vintage/Shabby Chic
Just Magnolia pink, pearls, lace
Magnolia Down Under One Word Sentiment
CLP Challenge Sketch

Since MDU was one word sentiment, I put the rest of the sentiment on the inside, it says birthday, my friend to go with the happy on the outside.

Here is a purse that I made. It reminds me of my Miche bag. I have included 4 cards to go in it. There are two of each card, all with different sentiments. I started out by using a template I purchased from Becky at Inking Idaho. She has all kinds of great ideas. She is a Stampin Up Rep and has great stuff.

I used the Twitterpated papers from stampin up and a small circular greetings set from Verve.

I used Blushing Bride and white cardstock, stampin up circle punches and my brand new die from Memory box. Also, a martha stewart punch and stampin up very vanilla seam binding ribbon.

Sketch Saturday!

Here is my card for the challenge at sketch saturday. I have used the Uncommon line of papers from Authentique. I made the flowers with three graduating marvy punches and then added a pearl in the center. The image is from a penny black set and so is the greeting. I used Spellbinders dies for the image and sahara sand some misc coral papers.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday!

I really didnt make my new years resolution of posting every day. But oh well, what can I say?

Here is my card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I hope they will accept it. In the past its always been just use their sketch. This time they want you to use a stamp from a specific co but I didnt do that. I used one of the Valentots from Art Impressions. It is supposed to be for a Valentines card but I think of it more as a friendship card. I used some papers from Kanban and Paper Gardens. Added some flowers and dew drops. Also I used a martha stewart punch and threaded ribbon threw it. You cant reall tell because of all the embellishments but it worked pretty good.

Happy Stamping!
