My first heartfelt creations card

Hello again, its been a while since ive had a chance to post a card but I have one for you today. This is the first card I have made with my new stamp sets that I got from Heartfelt creations. Tammy and I went to the Heirloom stamping festival is PA and had a wonderful time. There were so many great vendors there. Heartfelt creations was the one that caught all of our attention and we came away with some great new stamps and dies to match.
For this card I used SU cardstock and my sentiment is from the SU set Well Scripted. The flower stamps and dies are called Posy Patch from Heartfelt creations. The leaves are called perfect petals. They are also stamps and dies to match. I used my big shot to cut them out. I colored them with my copic markers. I used pop dots to give them some dimension and added bling and stickles to the center of the flowers. The punch is MS and I also used nestabilities labels 1. I made this card for a friend at work. It was her sisters birthday and her favorite color was purple. Well thats all for now, but I have a light weekend planned so hopefully plenty of time for stamping. Have a great weekend!!

Grandad's 85th Birthday


     Yesterday was my grandad's 85th birthday. Wow can you believe it? That is a long time! We had a nice little family birthday party for him and I made him this card. He made me read the inside to him because he can't see very well any more. I had a great time getting together with the family.
     I made this card with a stamp from Gina K Designs. It was from a set called Farm Life. I used a sketch from the Just us Girls Challenge blog. They are giving a great set of prizes this week.  I used navy cardstock and my designer paper is from pinkpaislee. The ribbon and brad are from gina k designs. I colored the image with my copic markers and sponged the grass with memento bamboo leaves ink and sponged the sky with memento summer sky ink. I cut the image and seperated it to fit the sketch. Thanks for visiting my blog today and have a great weekend!!

Favorite Fall memory Challenge



     Over at Stamp TV Gina has challenged us to create a card that represents one of our favorite fall memories. One of the first ones that came to my mind was move in day to the new house that my husband Tom and I built 10  years ago. We moved in 1 week before Thanksgiving. I can remember going to town and buying pumpkins to decorate my new front porch. It is a Fall memory that will always stand out in my mind.
     I used GKD PLCS in Chocolate brown and sweet corn.  The DP is from  an autumn pack from target. The image is from the Autumn Splendor Stamp TV kit. I masked my pumpkins and colored them with copic markers. I used nesties 8 and 14 for my diecuts. I used the asparagus ribbon from the stamp tv kit and added some bling. I used a MS punch for the border.  I also added a pumpkin button to the bow for a little something extra. Have a great day!!

card positioning systems #184


Hello fellow stampers.  I made this card for the card positioning systems # 184 sketch challenge this week. It was a CAS sketch and I just  loved it. I used recollections cardstock in yellow, red and brown. The white cardstock is Gina K Designs Pure Luxury 120#. It is the best CS out there to use to with your copic markers. The stamp is a new one I just got from Magenta, and the sentiment came from a set from Just for Fun Stamps. They have great sentiment sets and they are clings which make them even better to store. I am really loving doing Fall and Holiday cards right now so you will will probably see many more coming your way.  Thats all for now, have a great weekend!!
