Hello Stampers!!!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.   The theme of the week is "Summer Fun."  To make my card I started with the truck.  I inked up the solid truck with pear pizzazz ink, and then I lightly sponged on some cajun craze ink at the bottom to give the truck a rusty look.  Then I stamped the outline of the truck on top of this.  To give it that beachy, summery feel I stamped the palm trees, surf board, and beach ball in the back and colored them with copic markers.  Then I fussy cut this out.  For the background I die cut a circled and ink blended a summery sky, and added some sandpaper at the bottom of the circle to ground the truck.  To finish up the focal image I stamped, die cut, and popped up the sentiment on the circle.  Now for the card front I decided to emboss it with the soft waves embossing folder, and adhere it to a pool party card base.  I adhered my focal image to the background to finish up the front of this card.  For the inside I die cut a palm tree and added a bit of sandpaper at the bottom, leaving room to add a note.  And that completes my card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday!!!  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card, I started by assembling the carrot bunny die cut.  Then I die cut the scalloped edge layer.  Next I created a circular mask to create a backdrop for the bunny, by ink blending the blue and green.  I adhered the bunny to the backdrop, and added a pom pom for the tail.  for the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and popped it up with some dimensionals on top of the gingham ribbon.  I adhered the scalloped layer to the card base to finish the front of the card.  For the inside I kept it simple, by stamping, die cutting, and adhering it to the inside.

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for Freshly Made Sketches!  
I decided to turn the elements of this sketch into Christmas gifts!  I found some patterned papers that went well together, and then I cut them into the shapes of the sketch.  I added some real red twine for the bows on the gifts.  When I laid the gifts onto my white card base, I felt it needed some texture.  I decided to emboss the card front.  Next I adhered the gifts to the card base.  The upper left gift I adhered directly to the card base, the upper right gift I used thin foam squares, and for the bottom right gift I used Stampin' Up dimensionals.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and adhered it with dimensionals and thin foam squares to the card.  For the inside I embellished it with some of the DSP, and then stamped a sentiment.

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The theme for their challenge is: Chocolate.  For my card I started by punching out a bunch of M&M's and adhering a small white circle behind it so you could see the white m.  I decided to make a jar card so I cut out a jar card and it's components with my Cameo.  I randomly adhered the M&M's in the jar, and then trimmed around this layer with scissors for the M&M's that hung over the edge of the jar layer.  Next I adhered the lid to the white part of the jar, and added a ribbon treatment.  I wasn't going to add a sentiment, but then decided I would.  I got out my trusty stamp a ma jig and stamped the sentiment.  I adhered this finished layer to the front of the card.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment.  That's all for now!

Hello Stampers!!  I'm here to share this cute box I made for Christmas.  I followed the following tutorial:  Snowman Box 



I didn't quite have all of the supplies she had, so I improvised with what I had.  You could fill this little box with lots of different candies.  I send my niece and nephew money for Christmas, so I thought this would be a fun way to package it.  This was a fun project to do.

Hello Stampers!!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is my inspiration card:  
For my card I started with the gingerbread man.  I heat embossed him, die cut it, and added some peppermints for his buttons.  Then I went through a bunch of dies, to find a fancy circle to go behind the gingerbread man.  I found one in my Spellbinders dies, I'm not sure what the name of the set is.  It is an oldie but goodie.  I popped up my gingerbread man on this circle.  Then I went through my Christmas papers to find a coordinating piece, and found this fun peppermint paper.  I decided to have the patterned paper go down the middle of the card front, and I matted it with some white cardstock.  For the sentiment I stamped it in real red ink, and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes die.  At this point I started to adhere my elements to the red cardstock layer.  I popped up the gingerbread, and before I popped up the sentiment I added some ribbon behind it.  Once everything was adhered I adhered the red layer to the card front.  For the inside I again die cut the fancy circle, but this time in red.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out with a circle die cut.  I put a strip of the patterned paper behind this also to complete this card.

That's all for now!!  Thanks for stopping by!!
