Bloomin’ Beautiful

This card was made using an image sent to me by my friend, Carol.  I never really thought I needed this set but I’ll have to consider it now, this flower was so fun to color.  I used Copic markers to color it and then airbrushed the background.  I sewed a crazy border and then [...]

Memorial Day Card

This was my Memorial Day card, and it is not what I started out with.  I almost threw it out as it was almost completely ruined, but I tried to save it anyway.   Here is my feeble attempt.  I stamped the background with a Scrap Block from Cornish Heritage Farms and embossed the eagle [...]

Gift Set

I made 20 various note cards measuring 3 1/2″ x 5″.  After I was enabled to buy a few hundred envelopes I figured it would be within my best interest to use some of them!  Ha!  This gift set was for a friend who recently received her graduate degree, woohooo!  I know she sends out [...]

Echoes of Kindness & Mindy’s Zoo

Echoes of Kindness is a Level 2 hostess set from Stampin’ Up.  Isn’t it pretty?  The coffee cup in the 2nd photo is from GinaK Designs.  The last card is Mindy’s Zoo, a clear stamp set that I’ve always thought was cute.  I used a retired palm leaf from Quickutz for the monkey and added [...]

Purely Pomegranate Fun

Here are two cards I made a week or so ago.  I watercolored the image and cut out the moth and flower.  Sentiment is from Simply Said.  With the 2nd card,  I cut some flowers from the Lilac, Build a Flower die (Sizzix) and colored the ends with a gold paint pen.  The center of [...]

Warm Snowflakes

I bought some Old Olive DP (sorry, I can’t remember the name of it) a few months ago and have started cutting into it.  I like how Old Olive looks with River Rock.  I stamped a snowflake and added dazzling diamonds to it, then cut out some snowflakes (Cuttlebug die) to layer on top.  I [...]
