I finally have a little time for myself so thought I would post a card. Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog and I appreciate all of the comments. I used a Memory Box stamp with this card and after coloring, I glittered the birds. The background paper is by Basic Grey and was in my stash. The pine needles die is from Impression Obsession, the cat die from Cheery Lynn, and the window die from Memory Box. Enjoy.</div>

There are so many beautiful colors of inks out there to choose from. On this card, I used an old retired SU ink which is Cool Caribbean I sponged it on white glossy cardstock leaving splotches of white cloud showing. I then stamped the limbs on using an old stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I then punched out a red cardinal using a Martha Stewart punch. I embossed the cherry cobbler cardstock from SU and layered that onto a white card. This was taught the other week at Paper Ink on the downtown mall and hopefully we will have enough people for another class. Enjoy!</div>

Good morning Bloggers. I got the idea for this card from the Penny Black blog and Pinterest. I love the sky color and this Penny Black stamp. I've bene playing wiht different sky colors this week and hopefully will get another post done soon. I'm using different inks on the sky but mostly the Ranger distress inks. I used Shaded Lilac plus another one on this sky. Thank you for looking.creativeartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546215957123819240noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931566568060250226.post-87998252744456060842012-10-28T20:24:00.001-04:002012-10-28T20:26:15.973-04:00Summer daisies<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

The stamp is by Stamps by Judith and my good friend bought it at the Chantilly show back in June. I just had to borrow it and color it with my copics. I attached a cheery Lynn butterfly and used a sentiment from SU. Hope you enjoy this as we ride out the storm! We can keep our fingers crossed that it is not going to do much damage and we won't lose power.</div>

This is an old card that I made for Sparkle N Sprinkle. I used copics for coloring and used the tear-ific tape that SNS sells to put two strips on the card and then covered those with purple glitter. <br />
This stamp set and the Tear-ific Tape can be found at the store of SNS at <a href="http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/">www.sparklensprinkle.com</a>. The tape comes in several different sizes -- 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", and the large 2 1/2".

This stamp and die set of asters was purchased last month from Heartfelt Creations. The pack of paper had 24 double sided sheets and were made for the stamps and asters. Plus, of course, purple is one of my favorite colors. I stamped the image with Momento ink and colored with Copic markers. I die cut the asters , colored the centers and layered them onto the image. I only die cut the two larger asters. <br />

I am teaching the above three cards tomorrow at Paper Ink in Charlottesville, VA. I am so happy to be back teaching some paper crafts, especially cards. Paper Ink is located on the downtown mall at the corner of the parking garage. They carry many different dies, lots of different cardstock, inks, stamps, spray mists, and are always so helpful to customers. Come on down and check out the store.<br />creativeartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546215957123819240noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931566568060250226.post-37263924268056619992012-09-24T00:23:00.001-04:002012-09-24T00:31:20.706-04:00Spring Lilacs<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

It seems like I am on a flower making kick! I have some of the flower dies from Memory Box and Cheery Lynn and have just been playing with them! It is very relaxing! I used a digital sentiment with a lavender spellbinders lattice to back it. I used the new build a flower set from Cheery Lynn. All paper is from Papertrey Ink. Enjoy!</div>

I made this card using Webster's pages for the background. It then used Poppy Stamps Dies to die cut the bird cage and the bird. I attached these to the paper using small dots of crystal accents. The bird cage has some brown and white twine tied through the top of it. This is then layered onto a blue card. I stamped celebrate! on the front using Stampin Up's stamp. Very quick and easy!

Life is moving along so fast and I am enjoying every minute! We had a snowstorm last weekend and had about 8-10 inches of snow. It was a beautiful snow but we lost electricity for about 24 hours. Now we are back to having wind and rain. The sunny weather will be here soon! Since tomorrow will be the first of March, I am looking for some beautiful spring days (without allergies!! LOL). <a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat repeat; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>creativeartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546215957123819240noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931566568060250226.post-84207159470470935342012-02-13T08:59:00.000-05:002012-02-13T08:59:13.937-05:00DIE CUTS<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBu3M48MNnJ0S7-lOe_FqWyjthOlctrL5HeE9zCRV76pNjbVoc2yD4XJcKtGnj3I4zMjRE3BQ4NV56C5bbD4U-EXPYGwAfGNjNCPudf_h0Ihj-r4z9Iia9EZqYjg87Bn7Q4GfV665UK1qy/s1600/Jan+2012+023.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBu3M48MNnJ0S7-lOe_FqWyjthOlctrL5HeE9zCRV76pNjbVoc2yD4XJcKtGnj3I4zMjRE3BQ4NV56C5bbD4U-EXPYGwAfGNjNCPudf_h0Ihj-r4z9Iia9EZqYjg87Bn7Q4GfV665UK1qy/s320/Jan+2012+023.jpg" /></a> Can you believe that I used no stamps on this card? I used a cuttlebug folder for the background on pattern paper. I then used my Grand Calibur die cutting machine to cut out all of the dies. I used a total of five dies on this card, three from Poppy Stamps dies and two from Cheery Lynn dies. I used chalks to color the bird and put a pearl in the center of one flower. Hope this gives you some inspiration. </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; border: 0px none; padding: 0px;" /></a></div>creativeartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546215957123819240noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931566568060250226.post-282396045570399812012-02-11T18:32:00.000-05:002012-02-11T18:32:15.953-05:00Blog Hop Winners<div class="MsoNormal"> Here’s the list of winners for the blog hop!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

This card could be used for any occasion such as birthday, thinking of you, cheer, etc. I have a set of stamps from Close To My Heart of football things and decided to use the football player. You can find the designer pattern paper at <a href="http://www.paperink.net/">www.paperink.net</a> and there are about 5-6 sheets of different patterns with UVA colors. You can also order cards made for that special someone .

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but have been busy with finishing up an order of cards and working at <a href="http://www.paperink.net/">www.paperink.net</a> three days a week. The store has the new Cheery Lynn dies in stock and I have had so much fun demoing these delicate dies. We also have the double sided adhesive that is made for die cutting. The adhesive does not make your dies sticky and it sticks beautifully! The above card was made for SparkleNSprinkle. They came out with some new wine stamps the other month (when I was having computer problems) and I am just getting around to showing what I did with the stamps. I colored this one with prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol. I highlighted all of the "wet" droplets with Ranger's clear accents. You can go to <a href="http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/">www.sparklensprinkle.com</a> to see many more views of the wine cards and to order the stamps. Have a great day!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; border: 0px none; padding: 0px;" /></a></div>creativeartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07546215957123819240noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931566568060250226.post-39692912478020674082012-01-20T19:17:00.000-05:002012-01-20T19:17:15.593-05:00Happy Heart<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

The image is from SparkleNSprinkle. The image was stamped with white pigment ink onto watercolor paper and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then used the Range distress inks in Spun Sugar, Pumice Stone, and the new Red from the Christmas pack. I started with the lightest color working my way up to the darkest. I used the blending tool to get a good blending of the colors. A white satin ribbon was tied around this and then layered onto charcoal cardstock and this was attached to red cardstock. Very easy card. You can buy this image from <a href="http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/">www.sparklensprinkle.com</a> and it is one of the small sets so very reasonable in cost.</div>

I am now working 2-3 days per week at Paper Ink on the downtown mall in Charlottesville, VA. This store opened a couple of months ago and is adding new stamps, cardstock, pens, etc. daily. I am so happy to be part of this team! I design cards using all of this new stuff and demo the die cutting with the Grand Calibur. I also teach card making classes. You can go to their web site at <a href="http://www.paperink.net/">www.paperink.net</a> to see pictures of the team's work. After being off from work for a whole year, I am gradually getting my body back in shape to work three days a week. This is an opportunity made in heaven!! Anyway, I am going to try to upload cards more often now. For the above card I have used the Bee Mine stamp set from <a href="http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/">www.sparklensprinkle.com</a>. This is such an adorable set! I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background, a Fiskars border punch for the bottom row of hearts, a Memory Die for the corner flourish, and a Spellbinders circle heart for the pink circle. I used my Copics to color the pink butterfly. Enjoy!</div>

I used stamps from SparkleNSprinkle and this set of stamps is one of my favorite sets from them. I love to stamp penguins and find different ways to dress them with embossing powder, glitter, markers, flower soft, etc. The silver and red snowflakes were die cut using an old Cuttlebug snowflake die. I glued flower soft around the edges of the ornament. The stamp set can be found at <a href="http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/">www.sparklensprinkle.com</a>. Have to get back to my cooking now. Two of my grandsons are here all day today and tomorrow three of them will be here. Christmas is all about children and family! Have a wonderful holiday season!</div>

I used red and white cardstock. I stamped the angel from Inkadinkado in white pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder from SparklenSprinkle. I then layered everything and used seam binding to tie the knot. Enjoy!</div>

I'm so sorry I have been missing in action! I usually upload my pics from my laptop and it had to take a visit to the shop for repairs. I'm hoping it will return home soon! My PC is slow and I don't have photo editing on it so am going to just post my pics without editing. This neat scene is from Rubber Cottage and is colored with copic markers. I added Starfire Glitter #G1017 from <a href="http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/">http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/</a> on all of the snowy areas. I love hos this glitter sparkles just like a new snowfall! The poinsetta is stamped with white pigment ink and heat embossed with white opaque embossing powder. The poinsetta stamp is from Heartfelt Creations and the die is from Spellbinders. The cardstock is cherry cobbler from Stampin Up and the white is from Papertrey Ink.
