Sweet Cake

Happy Monday everyone!  Had some time to stamp this weekend.  Wanted to show you one of the stamp sets I got out of the Occasions Mini called Sweet Cake.  I decided to use the Stained Glass Technique.  I stamped the image onto vellum cardstock with Versamark and embossed it in black.  Then I turned the image over and colored it with a pool party marker.  I decided to emboss the frosting with irridescent ice to give it some sparkle.  The cherry on top is a glimmer brad.  Hope you like the card.  I was pleased with how it came out. Have a great day!

Send Me Soaring 1

Hello everyone.  Here is a new Stampin Up Set from the Occassions Mini Catalog entitled Send Me Soaring.  Just love the kites.  Colors I used are Lucky Limeaid, Pool Party and Calypso Coral and White.  Just love how the colors go togther.  I added to the tails to give the card more dimension. The other set I used for the embellishments on the kites was Itty Bitty Bits.

Here is another card I made with the same set only I used the Everyday Enchantment DSP.

Send Me Soaring 2
That is is for now and hope you like them.

Hello everyone.  What a bad blogger I have been.  So sorry it has been months since my last post.  Seems like the holidays got the best of me.  I decided to take out some stamps that I have not used yet.  I used the Floral Fillers Stamp Set.  Love this set since it coordinates with different punches.  I also saw the Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial this week for a Double Dutch Fold Card.  Here is what I came up with:

Double Dutch Fold Floral


Here is what the inside of the card looks like:

Colors used are Pool Party and Calypso Coral and the Everday Enchantment DSP which will be available during Sale-a-bration.  I was pleased how this card came out.  Hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by.

Snow Much Fun Snowman
Hello everyone.  This is a card I did for a card swap.  I just love this stamp set - "Snow Much Fun."  The snowmen in the set are just so cute.  I decided to emboss this snowman on basic grey paper and then added bleach to whiten the paper and then once dry used my markers to color him.  My paper colors are Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke and Basic Grey.  I added silver glass glitter around the oval to frame him.  I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by.

Northern Frost

Happy Friday everyone!  Here is a card I did last week with my monthly stamp group.  It is called a suspension card.  These are very easy to make.  I used the Northern Flurry embossing folder and cut out the snowflakes with the Northern Frost Sizzix Die Strip.  I also used the triple layer doily punch for the background of the snowflake.  These snowflakes seem to fit perfectly on these punched out doilies.  To suspend the snowflake I used some of my husband's fishing line. To punch out the three layers of circles I used the magnetic movers and shapers die.  I then added some glass glitter around the circle and added some shimmery rhinestones to the snowflakes.  Hope you like it.  As always thanks for stopping by.

Greeting Card Kids Halloween 

Hello everyone! Here is a card I created over the weekend.  One of my favorite sets is Greeting Card Kids.  I just love the images in the set.  Since Halloween is right around the corner I decided to make a Halloween Card.  I used the Letterpress Plate called Trick or Treat.  I like to use the silver ink that has been discontinued in the catalog.  I find it makes a really good impression not as streaky as the craft ink.  For paper I used the Well Worn DSP, black, soft suede, and tangerine tango.  The little witch was watercolored on watercolor paper. Flowers in the corner were punched out with the Boho Punch and I used the glimmer brads.  I hope you like the card.  I think the little witch looks pretty cute sitting in the corner.  That is it for today.  Thanks for stopping by.

Snow Much Fun

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyong!  Had yesterday off and did some stamping.  Couldn't wait to try out this stamp set Snow Much Fun.  The set has several images and I just love this little birdie rolling on the snowball.  I also love the faux postage look also.  Colors used are Marina Mist and Bashful Blue.  For the snowflake I used the Sizzix Snowflake Decorative Strip Die.

Here is another faux postage card I did with a retired wheel from last years Holiday Mini.  I just love these cute little cardinals:

  Little Cardinals
Colors for this card are white, cherry cobbler and black.  I hope you like both of them.  Have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by.
