Merry Christmas Everyone

Christmas is a wonderful time to spend quality time with Friends and Family.

I hope this day brings you joy and happiness.

Wishing you and your family a

Merry Christmas

and a

Happy New Year.

Sorry to have been away so long....

I have several Christmas Cards to post and hope I will have time next week to add them. I guess with the holidays here, it is hard to find the time to do a lot of things. But I hope to get back into posting more often. Maybe that should be my New Years Resolution. Please stop back again. Thank You.

Happy Birthday Blueberries

This is one of my favorite stamps from Flourishes. The blue berries are gorgeous. I colored them with watercolor pencils and then blended with a blender pen. And the designer paper is from my stash. I liked the hint of blue and pink flowers along with the wheat or oats, which ever one it might be in the background. The label is from a Nestibilities die. I added the blue polka dotted ribbon to add to the color of the card.

Thanks for stopping by. All your comments are appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving

I would like to wish everyone a

Happy Thanksgiving

Here is a card I made a while back, just love the turkey, he is so cute.

Also the stamp is from Great Impressions, colored with Tombow Markers and some glitter to the feathers to add sparkle.

Thank You for stopping by and have enjoy your turkey day....*

Finally time to post...

I wanted to get this card posted last week, but didn't get to it. This card I made for a friend and her favorite color was pink, so here is what I came up with. Can you see this card in purples or even blues. Awesome I would think. I might have to try it sometime.

Anyway, all that is stamped is the Happy Birthday. I punched out the 2 flowers in vellum and then added a small pink flower in the center, then I added a yellow small brad in the center to keep all the flowers together.

The other white flowers is embroidered and glued dotted to form my border.

I don't even remember the company of the design paper, I have had it for ever.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Creepy Spider

Need to post this Creepy Spider Card on here.

Didn't want Halloween to go away with out this card.

I love how the spider web turned out by inking the spider web folder with black ink and then add the paper and run it through the Cuttlebug.

Then the spider, I punched it out with a EK Success Punch, put some creases in the legs or bend them a little bit.

I thought the spider needed something to make it shine, so I added Stickles glitter all over it. It really does shine a lot.

All that is left was to add the tag and it is made with SU Punches and stamp set also.

I found some spider web ribbon in my stash.

Perfect Halloween Card.

Hope you like it.

Creepy Crawly, oh my golly

I seen this Halloween Tree and thought I need to make a card using it. This is what I came up with. I think it is rather cute with the spiders falling from the branches.
I used black for my base and added the purple layer. I just bought the spider web MS border punch, loved that. Now I needed green and orange and it would be a Halloween card with all the colors. I loved the creepy spider from SU and it looks great on the orange. So the tree had to be layered with green.
This is my perfect Halloween colors.

Stamps: Great Impressions and SU
Paper: My stash
Punches: MS

Fall Leaves

Love this card, I did it for my last card workshop. I seen one like it on the Gina K blog. So I thought I would try it. I had to find the right paper that would accept the bleach and turn the right color of the leaves and this paper worked so nicely. I embossed the leaves with Versa Mark, used black embossing powder and heat set it. Now I added regular household bleach with a paint brush just inside the black embossing lines. This card is so pretty in person.
















Stamps: Hero Arts
Paper: Beige from my stash
Other: A-2 embossing folder.

Yummies

Take a look at the cookies on a stick.

My sister made these cookies for my card party a couple weeks ago.

They were so good.

I helped decorate the cookies by adding the sprinkles and adding the gorgeous black and orange ribbon to some of the sticks.

*Can you imagine cookies looking like Candy Corn...

Well, these were really good. And Oh how cute.

I am so thankful to have a sister that will do this for me and my parties.

She is awesome.

Thank You Jan.

Halloween Candy Holder

Isn't this the cutest?

And yummy Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. One of my favorites.

This design paper is awesome, it is from a new company called Echo Park Paper Company and they just opened in April of this year. There is so many new designs, can't wait to try them. This is the Halloween selection.

I punched the black scallop oval and the purple circle using SU punches. Then, I added the bat. The bat is from MS. I closed the candy holder with a piece of Velcro. The only thing left to do was add purple ribbon for a handle.

If you need the instructions, please contact me and I would be glad to give them to you.

Caramel Apple

Doesn't this look good enough to eat?
Made me think of all the carnivals and fairs, that is what I get first, then the french fries.
Oh gosh, you have to have the french fries at the fairs.
I couldn't figure out how to tear up paper to make it look like nuts.
Any way, the card was stamped on caramel cardstock with black ink. I cut the apple out and added crystal lacquer. Then I found the cutest little sticks and they worked out perfect for this apple. I tied some purple netting around the stick. I made my candy corn using a circle of all 3 colors and glued them and then I cut the circle like a pie and rounded the corners of each piece of candy corn. I stamped the spider web on the purple background, which made it look really like halloween paper. Next I layered the purple on black and added all my layers to an orange base card. Only thing left to do is the circles and I stamped Trick or Treat on the middle one. Love this card. It took a little bit time, but worth it when it was done. What do you think?

Ship Happens

Love the little penguins on this card.

I haven't inked this stamp set yet and I seen it laying in my stash

and thought how cute this could be.

So here is what I came up with.

I colored it with Tombow markers

and paper pieced the cup and saucer.

Using the Nestie scallop and plain circles was perfect for the layers I wanted to use.

This is the inside of the card.

So cute with the sentiment

(you don't know how strong you are

until you've been in a little hot water.)

Isn't that the truth a lot of times.

Stamps: Not sure, but I think Cat's Meow

Paper: My Minds Eye and my stash

Punch: Modern Label SU , Martha Stewart border and Nesties

Embellishes: Brads

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog. Come back again soon for some new Halloween Cards that I have been working on.

Happy Birthday To You

I wanted to try a clean and simple card. I don't normally make clean and simple cards, but wanted to try anyway. I think it turned out okay, not the greatest, but it will work for me.
With the fall colors it was perfect for the flowers.
I stamped the flowers on orange card stock and colored in the centers with a Tombow Marker. After rounding the corners, I added the brads. Then I added a more orangy color for my greeting. I know the stamp is from SU, but can't remember the set it come from. The flower stamp is from Stampendous I think. A very clean and simple card. Love those cards that doesn't take hours to complete.

Thank You Friends

Thank You friend...

Isn't this the cutest card with all the animals lending helping hand.

I choose to use up the green paper that I had laying around.

And the DP went with it perfect.

I added a touch of mustard card stock because it was close to the DP color.

Colored with water color pencils and blended with water. I tried the Tombow markers and they were to bold for what I was looking for.

Then I added the circles and the scallop circle to make my sentiment tag.

I used black stickles to make the dots around the scallop circle, and added the gold brad in the middle of the You words.

I used Old Olive Ink for the sentiment.
