Hi Crafters!!  I am so excited to be the guest designer over at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons today.  I made this Laughing Shamrock Card using the Shamrock Cutting files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  I used my wonderful Cameo Silhouette to cut out the laughing face.

 I used Pebbles Shimmering chalks to shimmer the whole shamrock and the cheeks.  Also used a sparkle gold gel pent to add some doodles on the edges.  I added some black eyelashes to her eyes.

I found some gold shimmer ribbon in my shash for the bow.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Flower Card for My Creative Time Challenge

Hi Everyone!!  Sorry it has been so long since I posted.  I have a card today I made for the challenge over at My Creative Time.  I made these flowers and leaves from Emma's dies.  I am so excited how this turned out.  Now there is so much more I wanted to do to this card, but I wanted to keep it simple so you focus more on the flowers and leaves.  I wasn't going to do the white gel pen stitching but I really couldn't help myself :)  It really needed it.  Here is my finished card:

It is hard to see, but I stamped the flowers with a script stamp using versa mark ink.  The pearls in the center of the flowers are from Martha Stewart. 

 Here is a closer look at the leaves.  I used Tim Holtz Tea Dye distressed ink to ink around them.

 Here is the card before I added the white gel pen stitching.  The sentiment is also from My Creative Time 100% Sweetness set.  I embossed it with white embossing powder.

Wanna know how I made the flowers and leaves from dies???  Stop by tomorrow for the tutorial.  Sorry I don't mean to keep everyone in suspense, but I have run out of time today:(

Halloween Card using Inkadinkado Stamping Gear

Hi Everyone!  I picked up the Inkadinkado Stamping Gear Deluxe Kit over the weekend at ACMoore.  I used my 55% off coupon and couldn't resist buying it.  I must say I LOVE it.  It is really amazing what you can create with one stamp.   I was playing with it and LOVED the way this turned out so I made it into a Halloween card.   I used ONE stamp and 3 different colors to achieve this fabulous look.  Colors I used were:  Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Stampin Up Orchid Opulence, and Stampin Up Only Orange.  The sentiment is from Studio G.

 Here is the stamp I used along with the circle cog.

 Using the same stamp and circle cog, I used only 2 colors for this sample and stamped Happy Halloween from Hero Arts in the center. 

This product is FABULOUS and you may want to give it a try.  I cannot wait to make more projects with this Stamping Gear!!

Star Student Card

Hi Everyone!  I want to show you the card I made for a few of my favorite challenges.  Here is my card.

 Here is a view of the card laying down.  If you can believe it, everything on this card was cut out of a white/cream cardstock (except the kraft paper).

 I cut the star letters from the Cricut Alphabet cartridge on my E2 machine at 1.25" out of white and colored them with Stampin Up Concord Crush marker.  The student font is from the Cursive 101 Cricut cartridge.  I used my gypsy to weld and stretch the word.  The small stars were punched with a star punch and I used Stampin Up Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait ink pads and a sponge dauber to ink them.  And I added a gem in the middle.  The sheer ribbon is 1.5".  I glued the Star letters under the ribbon and glued the student letters on top of the ribbon.  I LOVE this look!! 

 I also punched the larger stars from a punch using the white/cream cardstock .  I used the stampin up 3 colors to stamp the Peachy Keen Faces.  I chose the Snowmany Faces assortment set 3/4" size.  I also used the ink pads and sponge daubers to get the colors on the stars.

 Just look at the Peachy Keen face.  Isn't it ADORABLE!!!  The brown kraft paper is from my stash and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it looks like corkboard.

 I am sooo proud of this card !  It looks 100 times better in person!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Peachy Keen - Color inspiration

Mix It Up Monday - STV12MON28 - Make it a Double at StampTV

Hi everyone!!  I have been a HUGE fan of StampTV and watch the videos on youtube.  LOVE the videos!  This is my first time participating in their challenge and I am so excited!  The challenge is to Make it a Double.  Use one stamp as a focal point and a background.  You can find the challenge HERE.  Here is the card I made:

I stamped the daffodil image from the Sending Sunshine stamp set from GinaK designs once on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  This is the image that I colored with my Stampin Up Watercolor pencils and blender pens.  It was then cut and embossed with a Spellbinder Nestabililies rectangle die.  I also stamped this image several times making a border on another piece of white cardstock as my background.  This was stamped using Stampin Up YOYO Yellow ink pad.  

 I matted both pieces of white cardstock onto black cardstock and then added some black and white twine and a black button.

 The sentiment is also from the Sending Sunshine stamp set. 

I LOVE the way this card turned out and am having so much fun coloring with my pencils!

Rainbow Card - Remember to Smile!

Hi Everyone!  I have a card I made for two of my favorite challenges - Peachy Keen Stamps and Cardz TV!! 

 I cut the rainbow and clouds from the Cricut Once Upon A Princess cartridge.  I sniped off the stars and used the rainbow as a base for my twine.  I ran the rainbow through my xyron and added the twine.  I did grab the wrong blue from my drawer.  I used the darker blue with the kraft instead of the light blue and white.   I added 3 pink buttons to the side and adhered pink twine around the card.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts and is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink.  I usde pop dots for the clouds and rainbow.

 Look at those adorable Peachy Keen faces.  These faces are from the Princess Assortment Faces size 1".  I stamped them using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Just Because I LOVE YOU Card for PK Challenge

Hi Everyone!!  I made this adorable card for the Peachy Keen Challenge.  This week was a sketch challenge and here is the sketch.

Here is the card I made:

 Look at that adorable Peachy Keen face!!  I used the Everyday Character face assortment size 1 3/8" and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I added freckles with my Martha Steward black pen and chalked the cheeks with Pebbles Shimmer chalk.   For the flower, I used my Spellbinder Nestabilities petite scallop and the circle dies.

 The patterned paper is from Colorbok and is the Spring Morning pad.   The sentiment is from Close to my Heart Say it in Style D1283.  The "I LOVE YOU" stamp is from my stash.  I used 3 pink flower brads.  The leaves and stem of the flower were cut by hand.

Snowman Card ~ Christmas in JULY Cardz TV Challenge

Hi Everyone!!  I made this cute snowman card for the Christmas in July Challenge over at Cardz TV.     I cut the snowman from the Gypsy Wandering cartridge and used the hide contour feature to hide his face and the design in the bottom left hand corner on him. 

 The sentiment is from Close to my Heart Christmas Scripts C1209.   I used the $1 Recollections snowflake punch from Michael's to punch beside the sentiment.   I inked around the punched snowflakes with Stampin Up Buckaroo Blue ink and a finger dauber.

 I used Studio G glitter for the scarf and hat.  I used one of the snowflakes that I punch beside the sentiment on his hat and added a rhinestone to the center.  I used a black marker and my white gel pen to draw his buttons.  The adorable face is from Peachy Keen Snowmany Face Assortment 1/2" size.

 I am really happy how this card turned out and cannot wait until cooler weather gets here!!
