Hello Copic Card

Hi all! I wanted to share this card with you that I created today. I used my C copic markers to color the image. The papers come from my minds eye collections and the dies I used were spell binders. I had some bleeding around the image that I tried to correct but was not very successful lol. Oh well it was too cute to toss out and we all make small mistakes. I think it turned out quite lovely. Hope it inspires you have a wonderful day!

Hello Friend

Hi everyone! Here is another card that I made using the new Dear Lizzy Collection from AC and also some dots and stripes pattered paper. You can view the video on how to make this card over at my youtube channel. The sentiment comes from a hero arts clear stamp set. I hand made the flower embellishments and used pearl brads for the centers. Hope you enjoyed this card!

Enjoy The Simple Things/Watercolored Card

This card took me quite a while. I used many stampin up colors and an aqua painter. The colors I used were : poppy parade, crumb cake, daffodil delight, pool party, island indigo, and close to cocoa. The house stamp and the sentiment came from a hero arts clear stamp set. The cardstock was night of navy from stampin up. I cannot remember where I purchased the water color paper but it is in an off-white cream color. I stamped the house multiple times and cut out pieces to create a layered look. I think this card turned out pretty cute. What do you think? You can watch me create this card on my youtube channel. Thanks for reading/watching and have a great day!

Birthday Card PCL Challenge

Hi everyone this card was quick and easy and turned out so beautiful. You can watch the tutorial for this card on my youtube channel. I used Tim holtz distress inks and a stamp from inkadinkado. I clear embossed it and inked around the image, and added some twine. The birthday sentiment comes from a hero arts clear stamp set and I stamped that in concord crush ink from stampin up! Hope you enjoy this card inspiration.

LilyPad Card Challenge

Todays card was made for a challenge over at http://www.lilypad.inlinkz.com/2012/02/17/sweet-stamp-shop-presents-virginias-view/ the lily pad challenge blog.  The cake photo  is what we were to use as inspiration for our card. I created this card using all stampin' Up! products. I created my own "dot" embellishments using crystal affects and Stampin' Up! re-inker in the color "Riding Hood Red". I simply just mixed the two together and used a stick pin to put droplets around my sentiment. I liked the look of the dots on the cake and was inspired to create my own.   Hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it!
Until next time...

Celebrate Baby Card

Hi all! Today I created this beautiful baby card. This card could be used for either  boy or girl, but I tend to think its more suited towards a baby boy. The paper I used was Ducks In A Row from October Afternoon. I also used the word window punch and modern label punch from stampin' up!. The ink I used was basic black in also from SU. The sentiment today comes from a hero arts clear stamp set item #CL272. I hope this card inspires you to create something cute for your children or for someone who is expecting a child in the near future! Take care everyone.

Love Coupon File Folder

Hello again! I wanted to share this CUTE little coupon book I created with my stampin up products and my cricut machine. I used my cricut to create the envelopes. The original idea for this alum came from bonmountford on youtube where she has a tutorial for this project linked here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhMY5OWTMKE&list=FLR781Rvd1-F833MeIb-ppYw&index=1&feature=plpp_video . I am giving this project away as a gift to a friend so she can give it to her husband. I would have liked to embellish it a little more but since its going to a man I figured I better leave it a little simple :) I did create my own closure for this project other than the one mentioned in the video tutorial. I thought this closure suited the theme of the project quite well. Be sure to check out the linked video to see how bonmountford on youtube created hers! Take care and happy crafting.
