Happy Valentine's Day

Good mornin' Peeps!

I'm so happy today, I'm going to my favorite stamp store this afternoon...Bella Art! I need a cruise ship stamp & she has one put aside for me, I just hope I can limit my spending, I guess I have to because I don't have much to spend today, :o(
Jessica is going on the New Kids on the Block cruise (she's been a huge fan since she was like 7, whenever they first started) & she wants me to make all her blockhead friends post-it note holders with pens. They won't have cellphone service so whenever they want to meet up they will leave notes on each others cabin doors to let them know where they will be. Good thinking Jess! She's so excited to be going on this cruise that it's all she talks about, she's sooooo obsessed about it, she makes me laugh. She knows just how many days & hours are left before she leaves, lol!!! Donnie....here she comes!!! Steve is so great & totally supports her obsession, she's one lucky girl. Wish I could have just gone to one concert when the Beatles were around, they were my obsession back in the day, lol!

Here's today's card, a cute side fold card that I cased from none other than Dawn. Click HERE to see her video tutorial.

Thanks so much for stopping by & visiting, I sure do appreciate it! Happy stamping!


I did one with red & white glitter hearts & luv that look too!

I Love You

Hi everyone!

While taking pictures of my last valentine card for 2012 (at least I think it's my last card, ya never know) I noticed a theme going on with ALL my cards this year. I made all my cards with punched or cut out hearts with dies...wow, I didn't notice that until yesterday. Well at least they were all cute easy cards, I like that! Lol!!! What was I thinking...I have so many cute stamps but I used hearts, go figure. I guess I didn't want to color, oh well....there's always next year, right?

I had these cards from the dollar section at Michael's that I bought a few years ago & finally decided to use them this year. They have cute little hearts on a pink background so I decided to stamp the I love you from Amy R's stamp set called "All About Love Sentiments" from All that Scraps on a white glitter heart & add a couple of small red glitter hearts to the front (all with dimensionals), stamped Happy Valentine's Day, Hugs & Kisses & XOXO on the inside...done. This was real easy!

Have a great day peeps, thanks for stopping by!



Happy stamping!

p.s. i love you

Good mornin' peeps!

It's going to be another gorgeous day here & so out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I'm sure we are going to pay for this unusual winter we're having but I'm really ready for Spring...let's bypass February all together. I'm willing to skip Valentine's day for Spring anytime aren't you? Speaking of which...

Today's Valentine card is a case from Dawn, you can see her video on how to make this card by clicking her name. I used red glitter paper for my hearts & the heart nestability dies for my card.

Thanks for stopping by today, I sure do appreciate your visits.

Be my Valentine

Hi Peeps!

Well it's that time of year again....Valentine cards are here for awhile! Have you been working on your cards yet? I have some Valentine cards to share with you for the next 2 weeks so hang on....LOVE is in the air!!!

I had this card design in my head using the SU Heart to Heart punch & decided to give it a try once I got the Echo Park "Be Mine" 6x6 paper pad, I saw this sheet with the So in Love with You on it & knew it would be perfect for this idea that was stuck in my head. So off I went to see how it would look & yes....I love how it turned out! I decided to make another one using the Black Script paper & a white heart & I like that one too! What do you think, do you like it? Leave me a comment & let me know.

Take care & have a great day!







Supplies:

Stamps: All that scraps Amy R "All About Love Sentiments"
CS: PTI White & SU Real Red
DSP: Echo Park "Be Mine" 6x6 paper pad, Red Glitter paper & White Glitter paper from Michael's
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & SU Real Red (sponged)
Accessories: Modern Label, Heart to Heart, Full Heart & Small Heart punches, MS White seam binding ribbon, Black ribbon & dimensionals

Happy stamping!

Thumping Technique

Good mornin' peeps!

Well we got a little bit of the white stuff this morning...nothing major, just a covering of snow. Looks so pretty! Now that's it....I don't want anymore. I don't know about you but this weather is spoiling me & I'm READY for Spring, what about you? So far our winter has been wonderful & I like it this way but bring on the warm temps...I want to get into my son's pool!!!

Anyway, lets get back to why your here in the first place...crafting! These are still cards that I made in the Summer & Fall, yep, I still have lots more to share with you from that time frame. I made over 100 cards at that time to bring over to the salon to sell. I'm doing pretty good too!

Well today's card is a technique called thumping & you can see the video that Gina made by clicking HERE , HERE & HERE. Gina has 3 videos on this subject...so go check it out & give it a try, your going to LOVE the effect! I made 3 cards all using the same stamp but with different colors for each card...I love it!

Thanks for dropping by & have a fabulous day!

Get Well Wishes

Hello Peeps!

Today I have some get well cards for you. Hope you like them. Sorry, this is a short post. See you tomorrow.

Thanks to all of you who drop by to visit me, I really appreciate your visits & comments. I love you guys!



I totally cased this card from one of Gina K's videos. She did the plain one you see above & then did another one with a stamped butterfly added to the DP & also stamped the image on the DP rather than on plain white CS & WOW....that really makes this card pop!!! I love it!!! What do you think?


One of my favorite stamps...I reach for this stamp whenever I need to make a quick card & don't want to think about how to design a card. I guess you could call this my lazy day card stamp! I always love the out come though!


Same stamp but different DP & ribbon


Have a great day everyone!

Another RAK

OMGosh, I forgot 1 very important RAK that I got from a very good friend over the holidays...I'm soooooo sorry Jen! I just saw it in my folder today when I was looking over my cards that I wanted to post today. Please forgive me sweetie!

About a year or two ago, I sent Jen a candy cane mouse with an RAK that I had sent her & since then she got a cutting machine & wanted to create a file for cutting out this cute mouse instead of hand cutting it. She did it this year & wanted to send me some & wow...she did a fantastic job & so easy too! I'm still not into the cutting machines though, there just not for me. I put these cutie's together & gave them away as little Christmas favors. Thanks sooooo much Jen for sending these to me & I loved your beautiful card. I can't wait to meet you when I get over to Hawaii! Thanks again sweetie!

I'll be back in a little while to post today's card.

Christmas RAK's & Cards

Good morning everyone!

Well the house is back to normal...all signs of Christmas are packed away & waiting to come back out at the end of the year. It's so much fun putting it all up but a real pain taking it all down & trying to pack it in the closet & it never goes in the same way. Somehow this year I managed to get it all in without any major problems & it fit really good this time. Hubby usually packs the closet so maybe that's the reason it came out much neater this year (giving myself a pat on the back ;o) hahaha!!!).

Anyway I thought to start out the New Year I would post the Happy mail I received over the holidays. These ladies made some beautiful cards & I linked to the ones who have blogs if you would like to give them some love & see their wonderful creations. Will have some cards for you tomorrow, I hope.

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!
