Happiness Always

I needed to do a card that has Zig Zags on it for the theme of our Club Nite Card. 

So here is what I come up with. 

I love the background paper that I found in my stash and to me it needed red paper. 

I used the Chevron Die Namic Dies from My Favorite Things and in the red paper. 

I added star rhindstones to add a little shine to my card. 

Next I added the star die cut from My Favorite Things also. 

Using the scallop circle and punching all those holes around it, wow, I think I did a great job huh? 

I love how it adds to the plain circle. 

The sentiment is from Stampin Up. 

Hope you enjoyed your stop at my blog and come back again soon. 

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

have an enjoyable day with your family and friends... 

and hope it isn't as cold as it is here in northern OHIO 

For You

How do you like these Strawberries? 

I think they look good enough to eat. 

I used the gingham ribbon with the strawberries, 

I think it makes the card have a country feel to it. 

I colored the strawberries with a red tombow marker and the leaves with watercolor pencils. 

The red marker was more vibrant for the strawberries 

and I liked the leaves a softer color, 

pencils is the best to use when you are looking for a softer look.  

The stamp set is from Flourishes. 

Spellbinder Die was used to made the shape of the card. 

Thanks for stopping by and please come back again.

Sometimes it's just one thing on top of another

Love this stamp, it is so cute with the little boy putting his pants on top of his head, and his shirt on his legs. Super cute.

I'm not sure where it came from, maybe Cat's Pajamas or a Bella stamp, it is a cling stamp. That is the only problem with the cling stamps, if I don't write down where I it got them, later on I don't remember.   

Great sentiment from Great Impressions.

I colored the image with water color pencils and markers.

I used the Spellbingers scallop circle and classic circle for the image. I punched a border to put behind the design paper.

Be Happy

I found this lighthouse stamp in my stash, new, never been inked. So I thought what can I do with it.

This is what I came up with:
I stamped the image on shinny paper with India Black Ink. This is the best ink for shinny paper.
I sponged the sunset colors on the shinny paper and them colored the roof tops of the light house with a Tombow Marker.

I have no clue who made this lighthouse stamp, it is on cling and no names anywhere.

Last, I added the Be Happy stamp from Endless Creations on the Modern Label Punch from Stampin Up.

Gorgeous card I think.

Enjoy a relaxing day

I love making these Easel Cards.

They always end up so pretty.

I made this card thinking of something elegant. I think it sure did end up very pretty. Maybe not elegant, but close to it.

I made the flower from a diet coke pop can, and the #2 flower die. I added a biggy black brad in the center of the flower to keep it together. I have seen them all over blogland a while ago. Now they aren't so popular. But I wanted to show you how pretty those diet coke pop cans can make a gorgeous flower. I cut the leaves by hand and put a crease in them a little to add dimension to the leaves.  

Left angle of the card.

Right angle of the card opened. 

This is the front of the card closed.

 This is the inside when fully opened up.

Stamps I bought from the Stamp Pad in Zoar, I don't remember who made them. If you are interested in them, let me know and I will see what the company name is on the stamps. My paper is from my stash.

Happy Momerial Day

Dare to Dream

There is new die cute out there in blog land called Die Namics, from My Favorite Things. They are the cutest shapes, borders and even doilies. They are fabulous. This Kite is one of them. The tails even come with the die. I used some small jute for my string.

The scallop is a border punch from Stampin Up. I think that is my most favorite punch from there. I use it all the time.

I found some awesome background paper for my kite. Love the clouds in the paper. It is from Imaginesce. I know that isn't how you spell that, but it works for me. I will have to look at the paper and see how it is spelled and keep it on my desk for the next time. I have quite a stack of paper from there. Love it.

I bought the stamps a while ago and didn't pay attention who made them, so if you are interested in them, let me know and I can get you the company that makes them.

Well, that is it for me tonight, maybe I can get more cards posted tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mr. & Mrs.

Isn't this the cutest wedding card. There is so many versions of this card in the blog world. This is what I came up with.

Love the flowers and butterflies lace, and this is adorable on this card.

All the hearts are punched out with the large heart punch from Stampin Up along with the 2 different sized ovals.

I added some rhinestones to the bride hearts and black gel dots for the buttons on the groom heart. Don't you love the bow tie, it was hand cut.

The background is the Cuttlebug folder, don't know what the name of it is, but it was lacy and I thought it would be great for this card.

Side view.
Thanks for coming back to check out my new posts.

Have a beautiful day

Finally getting back to posting.

I just love this cutie, and isn't this so cute.
This Bear is a stamp from There She Goes Rubber Stamp Company.
The set is called Back in 10. Isn't that a perfect Title for this set.
I colored the bear image with Prisma Watercolor Pencils. This give the image a soft look.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts Company.
The Martha Stewart Border Punch used on the bottom of the card went perfect to finish off this card.
Only thing left to add was the ribbon and just about all my cards have ribbon on them. This is Royal Blue Grosgrain Ribbon.

Friends (Birthday)

Not to sure about this card. Any remarks are welcome.

A Cute Dog Lives Here (Birthday)

This card is simply great, it could be for any age,

and would make a great birthday card.

Must be the dog in the very colorful house.

Just lying there staying out of trouble.

I used buttons and the dog bone is actually a brad.

Added dog paw ribbon. So cute.

Best Pet Friends (Happy Birthday)

I like how the cat is walking in this card.

His tail high in the air and perfect footing.

So confident of everything.

And the bird on top of his head is such a cute thing.

The colors are matched very nicely.

Just perfect for a birthday card.

A little hello

I just love these new stamps from Great Impressions.

Really cute dogs and cats.

This is the cutest one with the cat in the flower pot.

It reminds me when our kitty was in my flower pot

and really made a mess with all the dirt.

Lighthouse Thinking of You

This is a special card for the Lighthouse Lovers.

I didn't like how the vellum turned out.

But it does make the lighthouse look

like it is further back in the picture.

Stamps are from Great Impressions.

Birds Walking on the Beach

This is a refreshing card with the water and beach on a hot day.

You could make it a Birthday, Get Well or even a Thinking of You Card

Summer Days

Perfect for a Summer Card for your neighbor or a special person.
