Sprinklin' More Love

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous Ink: memento tuxedo black Paper: white and pink cardstock, bo bunny patterned paper Accessories: copic markers, martha stewart border punch, dimensionals

This is the last of the Valentine's I made this one for my other niece.  Again matching pink was not fun, this one was more challenging than the last for matching pink.  I was inspired by limedoodle on SCS.  She makes wonderful CAS cards.  I popped up the bee on this one too, love that look.

Thanks for looking, Have a great day!

Sprinklin a little love

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous Paper: pink pirouette and white Ink: memento tuxedo black Accessories: nestabilities, copic markers, dimensionals, martha stewart punch, early espresso baker's twine

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day.  Here is another card that I made for my niece (I have three nieces and one nephew).  Love this stamp, I think it is adorable.  I did find out that matching pink copics to cardstock is not fun.  I think I finally found a pretty close match.  I cut out the bee and popped it up for dimension.  I also added a bow to the negative space of the heart.  Here's a closer look:

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Have "Anise" Birthday

Supplies: Paper: Bazzill cardstock, DCWV paper stack Accessories: Papertrey circle die cuts, 3/4 inch square punch, anise candy wrapper, dimensionals

We celebrated my father-in-law's birthday today.  He loves black licorice and anise flavored candies.  So we picked up some sweet anise treats for him for his special day.  When I went to make his card, I was have some major mojo block.  My husband would walk in and I would just be staring at the wall.  So he started offering some inspiration.  He said make the theme of "Have a sweet birthday"  So I was looking for stamps/accessories, I wasn't coming up with anything.  Then he came in again and said, "give me a piece of paper I got it!"  He wrote down "Have "anise" birthday."  Then I remembered that I had purchased a bag of the anise candies for our candy jar, and the wheels started turning.  I unwrapped and enjoyed my candy and cut a few 3/4 inch squares to stack for dimension.  I cut the wrapper a bit because after my squares were adhered together they weren't as thick as the actual candy.  I twisted it up and presto my focal image was complete.  Then I looked up and saw this card that I have displayed in my stamping space and thought the layout would be great for this image.  I recently purchased a set of circle dies from Papertrey and one of them had a pinking edge, and thought that would be more masculine than scallops.  I cut out the top layer with the pinking edge circle, the next layer with the 2 1/2 inch circle adhered them together and popped it up with dimensionals over my patterned paper.  I put glue dots on the back of the "candy" and I was done.  I computer generated the sentiment and printed it on a 2 1/2 inch yellow circle and framed it with a red pinking edge circle for the inside. And I was done in 15 minutes!  So maybe I will have to get the 'ol hubby involved more often in my cardmaking.  That's one of the fastest cards I have ever made!

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!

Featured Stamper Challenge

Stamps: Stampin Up Paper: Kraft Ink: early espresso, white craft Accessories: cherry cobbler seam binding, northern flurry textured impressions embossing folder

I haven't done a Featured Stamper challenge in awhile so I was on a mission to do so.  Shirley is the featured stamper, she has a fun gallery!   I chose to case this card.  I made the following changes: I embossed the snowflakes and added white embossing to the snowflakes, I changed the ribbon color, and the orientation of the snowflakes.  Funny story, I could have had this card done in 10 minutes!  But I couldn't find the senitment stamp that I wanted to use!  I tore up my stamp space, checked and double checked my stamps.  Finally I found it, I had put this stamp set with a couple of others in one of the new Stampin Up cases!  Needless to say I labeled the case, so I don't have to go searching again!  I did end up tidying everything up nice as a result of taking things out and putting them away a few times! :) 

Have a super week!

Today is my Mom's birthday!  Happy Birthday Mom!  We are heading down to see her today in a little while.  I made this card for her using the Fall to Layout sketch this week.  My card base is 5x7, I just couldn't get the look I wanted on the standard size card.  The details are pretty simple on this one. 

Better run, gotta get ready to go!

My Mom and Dad celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last in November (I know I'm a few months late in posting this, that seems to be the way things are going this year!).  And this is the card that I made for them.  Isn't that heart embosslit the best?!  I scooped it up very quickly when I saw it at Archiver's.  Too many new products, not enough time!
