Yes, still making cards!

My daughter is hooked on Fleur Di Lis right now and that's why I bought this stamp.  I thought it looked pretty cool too.  Got this stamp at Hobby Lobby and I paid full price for it.....no coupon...FOR SHAME!

This stamp is from The Angel Company.  I stamped in brown and used the copics.  Had this really pretty shimmery pink scraps that I paid a fortune for a while back.  

Another card using the same stamp, only in blue.  The sentiment is actually a sticker as are the stars all from a page kit that I've used before.

The Trivia Night is Saturday so I'm going to put all these cards, plus more in a basket for the Silent Auction.

Have a great day.

Still Making Cards

These papers are from Teresa Collins, the drink stamp cost me a buck at Michaels.  After I colored it in with Copics, I put Crystal Glaze on the glass parts.  The sentiment was outlined and then cut with my cricut.  


Yes, still working on cards for my Silent Auction Basket.

Not really excited about this one, I used two colors of ink to stamp and colored in with copics.  It's got a versamark stamped background and a touch of stickles in the center.

I've had this border stamp for years and this is the first time I've used it.  When it's completely closed the scallop edge rests against a solid red stripe.  Simple card.

More Cards

More cards for the Trivia Night Silent Auction Basket.  This one using K&Companys paper stack, Spellbinders Fleur Di Lis Doily Accents, Classic Circles and Labels 20, Marthas Doily Lace Trim Double Edge Punch, Stickles for sparkle and Pop dots for dimension.  Love using up those scraps!

This one is very similar to a make and take I did at Archivers, only this was made with my stamps/dies/punches.  Spellbinders Grand Circles and Lacy Circles were used under the stamped image.  The border was done using one of Martha's Punch around the page punches.  I used versamark to stamp the background and lined the inside with white so the border would show better.  A little bling is always a good thing, tiny bits on the stamped image.

I scraplifted this from a group of talented ladies at the last crop I went to (2 weeks ago).  They always find the cutest cards to make. This is one of those cover up your mistakes cards.  I tested the sentiment on a scrap, then reinked the stamp (I thought, only the little plastic cover was still covering the opaque ink) and goofed it up. So I covered it up.  Not a complete loss.

The inside has the punched/embossed hearts.  I just love hearts....can you tell  lol!

This card used a cuttlebug embossing folder, a heart punch, Stazon Opaque White ink and you guessed it...scraps!

More cards to come!

Cards, Cards, Cards

I'm making a basket of cards for a Trivia Night Silent Auction.  Last year I made a Baby Girl Album all ready for pictures but this year I decided to go the card route.

This card was made using K&Company paper, Bazzill Swiss Dots and Bling paper, all scraps from my stash.

This card was made with K&Company paper (scraps) and cardstock.  The sentiment was one of those dollar stamps from Michaels.  I used Spellbinders Labels 21 and Lotus Pendants.  Marthas Heart Punch for the center.  Love using Hug Snug Seam Binding for the bow. 

Super simple card using Martha's Score Tool, scraps of black and white and a little ribbon.

I'll be posting more cards tomorrow until then, have a great day!

I made this card for my Son In Law who recently got a new job in his Degree Field.  We are so proud of him!  


The background on this card is paper from K&Company's Que Sera Sera Stack that was painted with a coat of Mod Podge and covered with Tim Holtz's Tissue Wrap/Composer making sure to have lots of wrinkles.  Apply Tim Holtz Distress Stain Spun Sugar, Wild Honeyand Antique Linen on the wrinkled tissue.  Rub Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad Tea Dye around the edges and Antique Linen on the wrinkles.  Using Fiskars Sure Cut Trimmer trim cream and brown cardstock for the card base.  Attach Hug Snug seam binding with Scotch Pink ATG and take a smaller piece of seam binding and tie a knot.  Tonic Serrated Scissors are my "go to" for trimming ribbon.  For a more "manly" look add tiny staples with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.


For the sentiment I used my trusty Cricut and Gypsy along with the Don Juan Cartridge to cut kraft and red cardstock.  For shimmer spray Creme de Chocolat Glimmer Mist.  For sparkle apply Christmas Red Stickles.  Before adhering the sentiment with Scotch Foam Mounting Tape, outline the words with Micron 005 Pigma Pen.

Before you delete those photos....

I was scrolling through the pictures my sister took on Thanksgiving and I just cracked up when I saw how squirmy my Grandson was.  If you look at all the 2x2 pics and focus on the little guy while realizing the camera was shooting continuously...you see just how fast the little guy moves.  We were fortunate enough to have a very mild day and the little ones had been playing outside for a bit.  Dominic was all riled up and could not sit still.  This made it hard for Dad who was in the tree holding him.  
Being the scrapbooker in the family, I had to record this story.
Have a wonderful, safe and blessed New Year!
