When God closes a door

 

Love the sentiment on this card, 

and the inside verse is Never, never, never give up.  

I stamped the birds in black ink and then stamped one of the birds in red. 

I fussy cut the red bird and glued it over top of the black bird. 

My card base is Kraft paper. I used black so it would make the white layer show up nicely. 

All it needed now is a olive colored sheer ribbon. 

Clean and simple card, but elegant. 

Stamps are from Zoar and Stampin Up 

Paper from My stash 

Ribbon is Sheer Olive Green 

Celebrate and It's all about the journey

Here is a card using the Sale-a-bration Free Stamp set. 

I think of the Phone booth as being from England. And always the color red. I colored an image red and didn't like it very much, so I just used red paper. Worked fine for me. 

I used the Chevron Embossing folder for my background so I could have some texture on the red paper. 

I think the black brads were cute in the corner and they added a lot to the card. 

Then for my sentiment, I made the Celebrate into a flag banner.  

Here is my second card using the Sale-a-bration Stamp Set. Both of these stamps are in the same set. The third stamp is a Ferris Wheel and very old fashioned. 

Of course the Sale-a-bration program is over now. 

But glad I got my set, I have used them on several cards. 

I used the Argyle Embossing folder for the background on this card. Added a designer paper strip in the middle along with 2 large brads on both sides. 

Love the It's all about the journey. This stamp is from Great Impressions, I just thought it went perfect with the bicycle.

Friends

Gosh, I can't believe it has been so long since I posted.

I have to blame it on not getting pictures of the cards that I make.

I think this will be my new priority starting the new year.

Taking pictures as soon as the cards is done. 

Here is a card that I made some time ago and never got to post it.

Got to love the dress. I made it at Robin's card class. 

I changed a few things, but it still kind of looked the same. 

I think it was gorgeous. Love it Robin. 

The Bodice was embossed with black embossing powder. Black lace to divide the waistline.

It was made with the new Lattice and Dots Embossing Folders and the Blossom Flower, Label and Oval Stampin Up Punches. Vellum paper for the bottom of the dress. A small flower punch.

When Times Are Tough

Again, it has been a long time away from my blog, I guess my life didn't slow down as much as I wanted it to.

I wanted to show you a card I did not to long ago.
Just the love colors.

Gorgeous colors and so cheery. Love the hearts, it adds so much to the card.

Sentiment and Umbrella die cut is from My Favorite Thing.

Heart punch is from Martha Stewart.

So glad you stopped by for a visit. Hope to get more active on this blog.

Please keep checking back for more cards and creative things.

If Friends were flowers, I'd pick you

I seen this adorable bear and just had to have him. I love daisies too, so it was easy to buy him.  

I colored him with prisma pencils and blended with OMS. 

The daisy is a die cut from MFT and I put 2 flower together with a yellowy/green brad that I put glitter on myself.  

I stamped the sentiment on the designer paper. I liked how it looked and I wouldn't have to add another layer of paper for it.

I don't remember the name of the other designer paper, it was in my stash and I liked all the colors and the flowers on it. Went perfect with my bear and daisies.  

Stamps: Oopsy Daisy (Bear) My Favorite Things

Thanks for checking out my blog and I hope you will come back again soon. 

Happiness comes through doors

I loved this happiness sentiment, so perfect for a special friend or family member.

This is adorable with the heart embossing folder and the heart designer paper. 

Of course I had to add ribbon, so I thought do polka dot to match some of the hearts on the designer paper. 

I liked the black card stock, it brings out the other images so well. 

Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are always appreciated.

Friends Fur-ever

I think this is the cutest kitty. The stamp set is a clear set and I think it is from Inkadinkado.

I love how the red sets off this card, and the designer paper is from Imaginations. It is just perfect for this card. Love it. I colored the kitty with prisma watercolor pencils and blended it with a blender pen.

I added a small circle border to the left side, and the border is called Die Namics from My Favorite Things. These Die Namics are awesome and there is so many of them to choose from. I love the paw prints added to the stand up part of the card.   

This is the front view of the card.

This is another view of the easel card.

Enjoy your evening.

Love this DP, it has the prettiest butterflies on it. As soon as I seen it, I had to buy some and make a card with it. This is one of the prettiest stamps from There She Goes, called What's Up Buttercup? Don't you think so? I used a very soft green card stock and matched it up with Sage. Love those two colors together. I really wanted to use prisma pencils, because they blend so well, to color the buttercup image. I love how it turned out. Couldn't let this card go with out ribbon, I added a yellow polka dot bow on it. * *

Thank You for stopping in

See you the next time

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.

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.

Friends are Flowers

I made this card with a new to me kind of ink or paint. I purchased some Smooch ink or paint. I thought this Smooch would match my designer paper perfect. The photo sure doesn't match the real card. The photo looks like the paper is pinky purple in some areas, but it really is a terra cotta or rusty color. Must have been the way the light glared on the card. Anyway, I loved using the Smooch, it paints on so perfect. It looks like a bottle of nail polish and comes in a lot of colors. And with this grapevine wreath stamp having tiny areas, it worked perfect. I added Olive Green Sheer Ribbon. Punched the corners and done.

Stamps: Great Impression and PSX (which is not in business now)
Paper: My stash
Embellishments: Ribbon and a corner punch.
