12 x 12 specialty paper card

When I was shopping last week I came across a piece of 12 x 12 glittered (pink of course) card stock. The paper was covered in glittered circles with the exception of this section that looke like a large label. I immediately thought this would be a great place for a scalloped circle on a card.

I cut the cardstock down the center and then sectioned off that part of the cardstock to fit the front of a card. The rest of the cardstock can now be used for a small scrapbook page or patterned paper for more cards.

I used my Copic markers to color the flower and used dimensionals to attach.

Enjoy!

Thank you for Being You - Punch Owls

I just love the Stampin Up! Owl punch.  This card kit was a leftover from a Christmas card class!  I took the leftover kit and challenged myself to make another card using the supplies from the original card.  Originally, this was a Christmas tree ornament!  The jute was used to hang the card on the tree.  I knotted the jute making it the branch for the owls to sit on and attached it to the card.  I did have to make the circle larger than the original card and I used the dauber to create the clouds.  I love it when a makeover falls into place!

Sick? Feel Better

Todays card is created from a sketch over at the Mojo Monday site.  I have had the build a monster set for quite some time and have not used it so I thought it would be perfect to use one of them as a little "virus" and make a get well card.  I used my prismacolor pencils to color him and I think he turned out just adorable.

When we went to the mailbox yesterday there was a wonderful surprise from my sister, Kathy!  It's not Easter without Chicks and Rabbits and there were TWO bags of them.  I guess she knew Katie would want her own bag and I couldn't  hide them fast enough so I shared!  We have looked everywhere in Jacksonville for our favorite easter treats with no success so she hooked us up!  Thanks Kathy!

Don't forget to stay tuned for my give away that starts tomorrow!

Congratulations - Valentine Defined

Hello friends!  I have been out of the loop as of late but starting today I have a huge stack of cards to share with you.  I have been playing with new stamp set, new techniques and some new templates which I will share with you over the several weeks!  

Todays card is made using the Valentine Defined stamp set along with the Perfect Punches for the greeting.  I have used Melon Mambo cardstock along with the DP paper in the same color.  I stamped the tree in Old Olive and then stamped it again in Melon Mambo and cut out the hearts and used dimensionals to adhere.

For the greeting I punched in black and Melon Mambo and added dimensionals to the congratulations.

I can't wait to show you what I have in store for tomorrow.  Make sure you hit the "follow" button on the side bar so you don't miss a creation!  I will be hosting a giveaway over the next weekend so stay tuned for that also!

See you soon!
