I needed a simple birthday card and decided on this peach to help me.  This stamp set is called Fruitful from PaperTrey Ink.  For the peach I used Summer Sun and Groovy Guava ink (both Stampin Up).  It was a surprising color combo but worked well.  Thanks for looking!

Here is a fun watermelon die cut.  I used Doodlebug’s sugar coated card stock for the watermelon, nice and sparkly!  The watermelon is a Bosskut die and is a great size for cards or embellishments on scrap pages.  The sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink and I used the large deckled rectangles (Nestabilities) for one of the layers.  The background was embossed with Swiss Dots (Cuttlebug embossing folder), ribbon is also PaperTrey Ink.

Here is another Ketto stamp, this is Charlotte.  I’m thinking I could have done a much better job with this card, but the image is so sweet I decided to post it anyway.   She was colored with Copics, airbrushed, and accented with a white gel pen.  Thanks for looking!

I love Ketto stamps!  They are a newer line by Stamping Bella and are so sweet.  I ordered mine from Addicted to Rubber Stamps when they had a sale I couldn’t resist.

Wasabi is colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen and Spica glitter pens.  I used the black Spica pen for her hair.  You can’t see it in the picture, but it really added a nice touch.  DP is Rockabilly (recently retired from Stampin Up) and the twill ribbon is from PaperTrey Ink.  I am addicted to their twill ribbon, it ties so nicely and is excellent in quality.  I love that stuff.

Here are two of the new releases by Whipper Snapper Designs.  I really enjoyed making 60 samples for them these past two months!   Both images were colored with Copic markers and air brushed.  I sewed the boot card and then used a Copic to color match the thread.  It’s so much easier than finding the right color thread and then winding a bobbin for it.  Thanks for looking!

This stamp set is from Tim Holtz and is one of his clear sets.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality was pretty close to PaperTrey Ink, Kitchen Sink Stamps, and other companies who have high quality clear stamps.  I embossed the main image and then did lots of airbrushing and distressing.  Card base is DCWV and Pink Pirouette (Stampin’ Up).  Ribbon is from PaperTrey Ink and the flowers (Prima) and pearls (Martha Stewart) I picked up at Michaels.   Enjoy your week!

Lockhart stamps have some really fun and unique stamps.  This is one of their images.  I kept it pretty simple, with just the image and some DP.  The pears were colored with Copic markers and the DP is from PaperTrey Ink.  Thanks for looking!

For this card I used the Pooh Font cartridge (Cricut), Home Decor for the stars, and Zooballoo for the clouds.  I accented it with Copic markers and a white gel pen.  DP is from PaperTrey Ink and some sheer ribbon completed it.   I still think I’m missing something, but making cards using only the Cricut (no stamps) has always been hard for me.  Thanks for looking!

I have had this set for some time and have wondered what to do with it.  I have seen so many creative cards and projects, but I since I’ve been pregnant all my creative juices have flowed right out of my head! LOL!  It shouldn’t have, but this card took me a week to complete.  I needed an extra special card. Quilter’s squares were colored with Copics and then punched out with a 3/4″ square punch.  The background stamp under the layer of vellum is Boho Backgrounds (Stampin Up!).  I bought the pin, pearls and crystals in the jewelry section at Joann’s and added some ribbon.  I see that I made a mistake on it (do you see it?), but am hoping it will go unnoticed by the recipient!  Thanks for looking!

In the 3 Step Teddy set from Kitchen Sink Stamps there are these really pretty flowers.  Even though this is a get well set I thought it would make a nice cheery card too!  This card is for a innovative and talented woman who is celebrating something special today!  TFL!
