Summer daisies

 I did this card a couple of monthsago and it so reminds you of summer!  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.

Summer Flowers

 I have been away from blogging for so long that it is like starting over!  I am still making cards and have started some scrapbooking so maybe I am going to get back to blogging also.  I made this card using a SU stamp, Spellbinders, Cheery Lynn and Memory Box dies.

 

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!!

In Style

I finally got my hands on the Sizzix dress form and couldn't wait to use it!  All paper is from Stampin Up with shads of Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake.  The sentiment is from a real old Stampin Up set.  I used glossy accents on the cardstock button.  I can see many more cards made with this dress form.  Enjoy!

Sweet Angels

My sweet friend, Amy, gave me this pic of her two girls to play with.  I used supplies from Melissa Frances.  The cardstock is pink and chocolate from SU and the flower is from SU.  The lace is from my stash.  The picture of the girls was taken on the day their parents were married.  Congratulations Amy and John!  You have two sweet angels!

Sparkly water

Thought I would show you a simple card using all Stampin Up products.  I have loads of Stampin Up stamps and products but just don't seem to get around to using them!  This set is one I bought last month.  I used cherry cobbler, early espresso, ivory, and baja breeze cardstock.  I watercolored the image and used the new baja breeze glass particles on the waer.  Enjoy and look for the Sparkle N Sprinkle winter blog hop tomorrow.

Just For You

Good morning everyone!  I hope you are having a beautiful inspiring day!  I thought I would show you a step card I made recently.  This is one of the easiest step cards I have ever made!  I got my instructions from Splitcoast Stampers and all of the cutting and scoring worked perfectly!  I used vanilla and cherry cobbler cardstock.  The designer paper was in my stash and I have no idea what company it is from.  I just picked up the cherry cobbler and went through my stash looking for that color.  I used a stamp from Stampin Up and colored it with Stampin Up markers.  Of course, I had to decorate the card with pearls, roses, seam binding, punched leaves and a punched butterfly.  Enjoy!

Textured Background

Happy sunny day to everyone!  It is cold here in Virginia today but the sun is shinning!  Spring is on its way!  I have a stash of colored images and found this one and decided to make a card with it.  I had colored the image which is a Stampin Up image from a couple of years ago, with copic markers.  I embossed a piece of orchid opulence cs from SU (retired color) using my cuttlebug machine.  I then brayered chocolate ink (PTI) over the raised area.  I die cut the flourish image and also the corner pieces (which are cut in half).  I stamped my sentiment on white cs and punched out.  I then layered this over the ribbon.  I used certainly celery, orchid opulence, and white cardstock.  This is such a beautiful iris that I need to pull out that set and do more!

Easter Blessings

It is a cloudy cool day here in Virginia so I thought I would upload a card that I have made for Easter.  This set is by Stampin  Up and I used their new color concord grape.  I had a hard time accepting the concord grape color when it first came out but have now fallen in love with the color.  I also love silhouette stamps.  Have a great day.

Spring Day

It is going to be 80 degrees here in Virginia today!!  Beautiful spring day!  I am going to open the windows and let the spring air blow through the house.  I do have to clean house today and since I don't especially like to clean these nice temperatures will help to motivate me!  Now to the daffodil card -- it is a simple clean card.  I embossed the white layer with one of my cuttlebug folders and then stamped the daffodils with black inck and clear embossed.  I colored the daffodils with Prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol.  This is a stamp set from Stampin Up and is in the current mini book.  I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day!  .

Birthday card

I did this card for my friend, Mallory, who works with me.  She sent the card to her sister for her birthday.  The shoe stamp is from the dollar bin at Michael's which I bought several years ago.  The sentiement is from Stampin Up.  Don't you love the way Birthday is written?  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the brown leaves and the ribbon is from Martha Stewart.  The cardstock is all Papertrey Ink.

Baby Cards

I needed a girl baby card the other day and did several.  I used a retired Stampin Up set.  Isn't this vintage dress adorable?  I stamped on white cs with a medium shade of brown ink and colored the dress with Copic markers.  I used one of the new label dies from Spellbinders and layered.  The largest die is the perfect size for a card.  I had some designer paper left over from last year which I used.
