Happy Heart Day

I can't believe we are almost through January! It will be Valentine's Day before you know it. Have you started your valentines projects? I was working on e Valentine sampler class and came across an oldie but goodie stamp set and stopped and put this cute little card together.

I used the first edition paper along with real red cardstock. The mouse was stamped, colored and cut out so I could make him 3D with my dimensionals. Isn't be the cutest?

Enjoy!

You're a friend....with Inktense pencils

I just love the look of colors that's "pop" and that is exactly what you get when using the Dewert Inktense pencils. They work like a water color pencil but once they are dry they are permanent.

The poppies on today's card was colored using these pencils and I love the bright color! I stamped my image on the first edition designer paper using my Momento black ink. I then used my water brush and layered color taking it from the pencils until I achieved the results I wanted.

I'm working on another project using these so stay tuned!

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday with Moving Forward

Another weekend has almost flown by. Katie and I have accomplished a lot today! We put all of the Christmas stuff in the attic, made dog biscuits for Sadie chocolate chip cookies and did all of the laundry.

I managed to knock out a cute little card using some of the new Stampin Up products. The Cloudy Day embossing folder is a must have! It embossed the cutest little clouds. I have used it here on the Bahama Breeze cardstock and how perfect it accents the hot air balloon! This is from the Moving Forward Charity set. I layered my cardstock with dimensionals and added the Happy Birthday on a flag tail strip.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year and Thanks

Another year has come and gone! I'm starting to plan for new classes and projects to share with you! One of my upcoming ventures is to share my passion for creating with you through online classes! I will keep you posted when this goes live!

I want to put out a huge Thank You to my subscribers and followers! Your kind words inspire me to create and share new things with you.

Today's project is a thank you card made with the cutest little bee! I used my dauber and inked around the edges and raised sections of the honey comb for some added character. To finish I tied a double bow (some of you will learn how easy this is)!

Enjoy!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I apologize for being MIA this past week.  It's been crazy around here getting everyone ready for Halloween and booking events for the upcoming weeks.  I have a great opportunity with one of the newest communities in our area to participate in their Christmas event and I have something booked every weekend through Christmas!  The pressure's on! LOL

Today I have a great idea to share with you!  It's a hand made ornament!  I used one of the clear ornaments and embossed a backgound image on the transparency.  I then stamped my cute little elf on cardstock and attached him to the transparency and put it in the ornament!  Add a little festive ribbon and  and some snow and you have an adorable decoration for your tree!

You could personalize these with a photo and/or print out of the year or event!  The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy

Merry Little Snowman

I have the cutest snowman to share with you today!  I have wanted this stamp from Stampin Up since I first saw it in the catalog  I love his size!  It's hard to find  stamps that allow you to fill up space on your cards! This one is perfect!

 

I started by stamping the snoman on shimmery white cardstock (I just love that sparkle) and colored him with my Copic Markers.  You can see the detail here on this close up.  I used the Copic Opaque White Ink to make the dots on his scarf.  It creates nice texture and draws your eye in. 

 

 

 

Once I got him all colored I assembled the card and added the long ribbon and finished it off with a Tiny Tag attached with DMC floss.  The ribbon has wire in it and creates a nice "puffy" bow which reminds me of a beautiful Christmas package. 

 

 

Here it is all assembled and complete! There are a few more favorites in this set which I will be sharing with you in the next week.   Enjoy!

A Goal and the cutest little snowman!

It's Wednesday already and I haven't comleted half the stuff I wanted to do this week!  What I have accomplished is hitting my goal weight and I didn't think that last pound would ever go away!  Between alternating running and the Y every other day, I have made great accomplishments getting into shape!  Saturday I finally hit my goal weight!  If you are struggling with those pounds as I was, don't give up!  You will get there, just keep telling yourself I CAN do it and I WILL!  I would have never considered myself a runner but I am here today to tell you I AM a runner!  Every day I do a little better and accomplish a little  more.  It is a very satisfying feeling to say I can do this!  We are already signed up for our next 5K! 

 

 

On to today's card!  I made this with all intentions of using a cerain paper I had stashed away for the perfect card but got so excited coloring, it didn't even match when I was done! LOL  I pulled out my snowflake embossing folder and my Pear Pizazz ink and inked up the embossing folder and embossed white paper so the snoflakes stand out and the inking colored the background!  I love the bold white look!

 

 

The image is colored with my Copics and I have added some "shimmery snow" details with the clear Spica Glitter Pen!  If you haven't tried these they are a must! The glitter is actually tine particles of glass and they hav an awesome sparkle!  If  you only buy one get the clear, you can use it on anything!  It does't show up well in the photo but it adds a nice "wow" in person!

Enjoy!
