Jasmyne's Birthday

I made this card for niece Jasmyne. She's a teenager and her birthday is coming up in early april and I knew she would think this pure innocence image is adorable. This is my first ever digital stamp and I just loved it. It was so easy. I ordered it from the Illustrator Heather Ellis. She has the cutest images and they are a great bargain. I used a cuttlebug folder for my embossed layer and my DP is from the cosmo cricket pixie-liscious paper pad. I have used this little book of paper so many times. It's one of my favorites. I used all stampin up cardstock except for the yellow layer. It is gina k designs PL cardstock in lemondrop. I colored my image with copic markers. I won't list all the colors I used, but I will tell you that the skin colors were E11 and E13. The punch was a new EK success chain punch I bought this weekend. I added the flowers and the button and some embroidery string tied in a bow. I really wanted to use bakers twine but I just ordered it and it hasnt arrived yet. I made this card based on the two following challenges:

Mother's day

Today I made a card for my mom. She's very old fashioned and not into computers so I don't think she'll look at this blog. I used a new stamp set I just got from stampin up called Blessed Mother. Its a small set with only four stamps but I just love it. I used Gina K designs Pure Luxury Card Stock in black onyx.  I used Bo bunny's crush collection DP. I know that it supposed to be valentine's paper but it just worked perfectly on my mothers day card. Don't you think? I used Spellbinders nestabilities lacey circles for the black circle die-cut. I used offray sheer ribbon and used my bow-easy to make the bow. The flower is a button I picked shopping along the way somewhere, probably joann's. I finished it off with some berry red pearl bling.  I'm going to enter this card in a few challenges

Easter Wishes

Today was such a beautiful day. It was 60 degrees and sunny. I decided to make an Easter card. I used all Stampin up supplies on this card. I made a 4.25 x 5.5 card. I put down the green layer of patterned paper and then cut the pink piece the same size and sliced it in the middle. I punched a strip of paper with my border punch and glued it to the pink piece and glued both down to the green piece. I layered the second green and pink panel(with border) and glued it down. Next I added the blue and green panel. I stamped my sentiment in olive green vivid ink. The stamp is from Impression Obsession. Next I used the two step bird punch to punch my bird and branches. I glued everything down and added some pearls across the bottom and one to the bird for his eye. I made this card for a few challenges:

Birthday Blessings

Good evening! Today I have been working on a card for a good friend of mine. Her Birthday was Friday. Oops I'm a little late. Nothing new for me. I'm always late at EVERYTHING...lol!! Oh well at least she's still gonna get a card. I guess I will have to buy lots of goodies at her stampin up party next week to make up for it. Todays card was made with DP from basic grey's hopscotch. I used the modern label punch from stampin up for my sentiment. The sentiment was a Just for Fun stamp. The flower stamp was a free digital download from papertrey Ink. This is the first digital stamp i have ever used. It was their 4th anniversary tag collection. I colored it with copic markers and added stickes to the center. I cut  scalloped circle nesties and added bling all the way around it. I used a MS punch for the scalloped border and added some Kaisercraft lace. I added 3 pink pearl bling to finish it off. I did this card for a few challenges :

Sweetest Wishes

Wow, It has been almost two months since my last blog entry. Way too long. Its amazing how time passes by so quickly and you just can't find time to do the simple things that you enjoy so much in life. I guess you have to make time for these things. That's what I plan to do in 2011. I want to make more time for me and my papercrafting hobby.  Today I have a card that I made for Valentines Day. I made this card for the Card Patterns Sketch 100.  The background paper on this card is from Bo Bunny Crush Collection. The red and pink CS i had in my stash. I'm not sure what brand. I stamped the swirls in the BG with a verve stamp and matted all my layers together. I used a verve die and stamp for the tag. The sentiment (sweetest wishes) on the tag is from impression obsession. The starburst is a Mcgill punch that I stickled and added bling to. I added ribbon to my tag and added a bow with some bling for a little extra sparkle to this card. Thanks for visiting my blog today. Have a great day!!
