You're Tea-riffic!

Hello! Again with the no posts for a while...I had a card made, but didn't want to post it until my Mom had recieved it. It's Scarlett the Teacup Girl from Stamping Bella. Cute! I used her for a Mother's Day card with the sentiment "You're Tea-riffic" also from SB because my Mom loves her tea.
All the cs is from SU and the PP is from DCWV and is called Nana's Kitchen. I coloured her with my prismas and stamped the image twice to layer the flower on the cup for some dimension. I used some rhinestones, ribbon and a button from my stash and popped the circle up. I also ran the pink plaid paper through my CB with the Swiss Dots embossing folder for some more dimension, and I put a strip across the middle using my Martha Stewart Loopy border punch.


Hope you like it, and have a great weekend!

Movin' on up!

Recently a friend of mine bought his first home. I made this card for him. Making cards for men is a little more difficult, it's hard to get away from the "girly-ness" of this craft (for me anyway). I decided to use sketch 133 from Mojo Monday and off I went...

I used Chocolate Chip cs from SU as my solid colour and the ds paper is Farm Fresh from October Afternoon. I think I'll have to see if I can get more of this one...I stamped Happy Neighborhood from Stamping Bella on ultrasmooth white from SU and coloured with my prisma colour pencils. I ran the long strip in the middle through my CB with the Swiss Dots embossing folder and tied some cute ribbon from Target down the middle. I popped up the oval and used several colours of stickles on the image to give it some "jazz"...lol

Hope you like it, and even more so, hope my friend does.

Easter Chick

Hi,and welcome back! Today I have a cute little card that I ended up making several of for some co-workers who needed some Easter cards. The little chick is a stamp from Imaginisce that I think is maybe retired now. I used Barely Banana for the base, with a layer of Orchid Opulence, the image is stamped on Whisper White and the scalloped circle is Pretty in Pink, all from Stampin'Up!. The PP is from a stack that my Mom gave me and it was perfect for an Easter card! I ran it through my CB with the Swiss Dots embossing folder and sanded it to give a little "umph"...lol.I coloured my chick with my Prisma colour pencils and added some sparkle with yellow Stickles. To top it off, I added some ribbon and flowers and a yellow brad from my stash. Thats it for today,I have to start getting ready for work and maybe I'll spend a few minutes out on the balcony enjoying this glorious weather before I'm trapped inside for the rest of the day...Have a great day!
