Happy New Baby

When I received a request for a baby card I had to stop and think I do have baby stamps don't I?  Then I remembered this cute little baby buggy stamp that came in the Fun and Fast Notes which I selected as part of my demo kit for Stampin Up!  I love this set but I did separate my words from the image so I could mix and match the sayings and it works well.

I Miss You!

I miss all of you when I don't get go post every day!  I have been finishing up income taxes and clearing out some old supplies and organizing so I can see what I have and use it!  I did take a break to get this card made for the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge this week.  My card uses the Sweet Pea designer paper, some Old Olive ribbon and one stamp from the Three Little Words set! I used the extra flowers on the paper to layer over the ones on the paper.  The ribbon makes a cute leaf.

If you haven't tried one of the challenges, give it a whirl.  It provides great inspiration!  TGIF!

Get Well Wishes

Good morning!  Todays card is inspired from the Stamping 411 blog.  The design of the card base is quite unique with the rounded AND squared corners.  It's definitely a sketch I'll use again.

I chose some scraps I already had on my table and used the Fun and Fast Notes set from Stamping Up.  I cut out the three flowers and used dimensionals which really makes the little bouquet of flowers.

Next week I'll be working on my setup for photographing my cards so the lighting is better and you can see more detail.

Happy Hump Day!

Congratulations.....

Todays card was inspired by a sketch I saw over at Karen Giron's blog.  I am always up for new sketch ideas and this one gave me the idea to use the "congratulations" stamp in the Well Scripted Set.  It's a long stamp, perfect for the saying for this card.

I used my prisma color pencils with gamsol to color the flowers.

Happy Monday!

Wall Art

I am working on a collage for the wall in my daughters hang out room. She has her tv, chairs and "stuff" for her friends to hang out!  I wanted to do a collage of pictures so we went for some random pieces she liked and decided to make a couple to go with them.

Here is the first piece I made using the Sweet Pea designer paper from Stampin Up and the Sweet Pea stitched felt!  The pink and green match the room perfectly!  I purchased the dimensional frame from a local craft store.  I cut the "K" using one of my sizzix dies!

I have TONS of sizzix dies and use them regularly.  Even though I have my cricut machine, I still keep going back to my dies, They are simple and quick to use so they won't be going anywhere anytime soon!

Enjoy!

Enjoy the Little Things

Did the Bachelor pick the right girl?  I never watch any of the shows except for the final rose.  That's the only one that matters.

I made this card while watching TV and video chatting with my sister.  There are no special techniques, just a few dimensionals.  The base of the card was made to use on the Easter card I posted yesterday and then decided to use the smaller base.  I love the simple and classic look.

Enjoy!

Cherish Magnetic Frame

Happy Monday everyone!  I left work on a dreary and rainy Monday afternoon and came home wondering what I was going to create today!  I knew I had a package coming from Stampin Up so I checked the tracking and it was TODAY!  I was so excited as it was the 2-step bird punch I have been waiting on for a month!  Now my sister and a friend also ordered one so as SOON as I cut the tape on the box the phone rang!  HOW did my sister know I was opening that box with the long awaited punches????????

She said "Now you and Marcy cannot use your punch until I get mine!"  She lives in another state so it will take a few more days until I get it in the mail but I will do my best to get it to her by the weekend but please don't tell her I didn't listen and used mine to create this adorable magnetic frame! ;)

I covered the magnetic frame with Stampin Up Designer Paper and punched the bird from the reverse side. I used my paper piercer and pierced around the wing and scallop oval.  See the Labels below for a full supply list.

Enjoy!
