Fall Pears

This is a card I did a few weeks ago using a stamp from Stampin Up.  I colored the pear basket with Prismacolor pencils and used my blending stamps and Gamsol.  I then used my Grand Calibur and the circle nestabilties to cut the image out.  I used another nestablities set for layering.  I used a sentiment from Papertrey Ink and Stampin Up punches to layer the sentiment.  Also, the ribbon is called Pear Pizazz and is from Stampin Up.

Congratulations to the winners of the SparkleNSprinkle blog hop!  And I appreciate all of your comments.  Thanks for hopping along!!

Sweet baby bears

Today is a cool wet day here in Virinigia so I thought I would post a sweet baby card.  I used a clear stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  The bears were stamped on pattern paper from Melissa Francis and fuzzy cut.  They were layered onto white cardstock and a matching button was put on their tummy.  Then I wrapped the twine around the card three times and tied a neat bow.  Then I stamped "sweet as can be" for the sentiment.  Very easy card. 

Dyed Handmade Flower and Ribbon

 Since today is such a rainy cool day, I thought I would brighten things up with this card.  I used Papertrey Ink new stamp set, stamped on avocado cardstock with white ink and then used the Cuttlebug to die cut the leaves.  The sentiment is stamped in brown ink and is astamp from Papertrey Ink.  I used spun sugar distress ink to color the ribbon and all of the flower petals.  The flower was cut out using Sizzix tattered flowers die with burlap, crinolinie, and net.  I used a fabric brad to hold the flower together.  Back to my creative room to make some cards for SparkleNSprinkle!

Elijah's 5th Birthday

I just wanted to wish my youngest grandson a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!  He is five years old -- how time flies!  I started making him a card to take him tonight and got a litlee carried away!  I started out using Papertrey Ink Men of Life stamp set.  This is a great set for male cards.  I stamped the bottom of the boat in Orange Zest by PTI and the sails I stamped on the background paper which is Basic Grey.  I cut out the sails and attached onto the ivory cardstock which is by PTI.  I use mostly cardstock from PTI because of the luxury feel and the weight.  I then added a strip of orange zest and then found an old sheet of letters and cut out his name.  I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the stars.  We are taking the family out to dinner and then we have some new Cars 2 gifts.  He has been crazy about Cars ever since the first movie came out!
