I got Mother's Day cards finished early!

Hello, everyone! I'm usually scrambling around last minute trying to get my cards done. They usually get done the day they have to go in the mail! But, I got Mother's Day cards done really early this year. I thought Bloomin Beautiful was the perfect stamp set to use for Mother's Day cards. Now if anyone can give me any ideas on Father's Day cards? I have the hardest time making masculine cards! Now on to the recipe for this card!

Recipe:

Cardstock: Georgia Pacific (white), Stampin Up (Barely Banana and Creamy Caramel)

Patterned Paper: DCWV Spring 2007 stack

Stamps: Stampin Up (Bloomin Beautiful) and Studio G (Mother's Day and swirl)

Accessories: Watercolor pencils, blender pen, and Staz-On Timber Brown ink

Also, I distressed the white cardstock the image is on. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hello, everyone! Sorry for slacking in my blog posting! I just haven't been crafting alot here lately. For the past couple of weeks my mojo has been MIA. But I think it might be back. I made 2 cards in the past two days!

I made this card last night. The "stamped" image is from Pink Petticoat. It is a digital stamp. The only thing I don't like about digital stamps is with the printer I have, if you watercolor it smears the printer ink. So I just used Primas and OMS. That worked great!

Recipe:

Cardstock: Georgia Pacific (white), Stampin Up (Pretty in Pink)

Patterned Paper: DCWV Spring 2007 stack

Stamp: Pink Petticoat (digi stamp)

Other: ribbon (wal-mart), Prisma pencils, and OMS

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Celebrate!

Hello, everyone! It has been a busy two weeks here. We are in the process of getting our kitchen and bathrooms remodeled. So that has really put a kink in my crafting! I am trying to find time to work it all in.

This card was a High Hopes sketch challenge. It was originally for the design team tryouts, but I didn't make the deadline. I used My Favorite Things stamp set for this card. Stampin Up for the sentiment. The base cardstock is Georgia Pacific white (found at Wal-Mart). The next layer (brown) is SU Creamy Caramel. The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye. I used Staz-On Timber Brown ink for the stamps. I colored in the stamped image with Prismas and OMS. The blue cardstock is SU Soft Sky. The mat behind the stamped image is SU Barely Banana. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Finally... a blog post!

Hello, everyone! I finally found time to craft! This card is based on the Sketch challenge at Paper Craft Planet. This was just a quick card, but I think it came out great.

The base cardstock is SU's Certainly Celery. I used SU's scalloped Edge punch for the edge. The blue cardstock is SU's Bashful Blue. The grid paper came out of a paper pack I bought at Michael's. I used SU's Spiral punch on the grid paper. The circled pattern paper is DCWV Spring Stack 2007. The flowers are from Stampin Up. The brad is from Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is SU's Live Like You Mean It stamped in Staz-On Timber Brown ink.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Friend to Friend

Hello, everyone! Is everyone ready for the Superbowl tomorrow? I would love to spend all that time crafting, but my DH invited his brother over. I have to cook for everyone! Oh well, maybe I can craft tonight to make up for it!

This card was for Papercraft Planet's Sketch Challenge. The base cardstock is Georgia Pacific. The patterned papers is My Mind's Eye. The heart was cut with my Cricut and George cartridge. The cardstock for the heart was Soft Sky. The flowers are American Crafts. The brads are from Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is from Stampin Up and was stamped in Staz-On ink and distressed with Soft Sky ink. Oh and I almost forgot, the heart was Cuttlebugged with Stylized flowers embossing folder. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
