Yellow Bug

I realize this post is a day late, but I have been busy the past couple of weeks with a flooded basement and painting my bedroom.  Thankfully nothing was really ruined and the basement finally dried out and the painting got done as planned and the house is finally clean again.  Only thing left is to replace all the hardware in the bedroom and decorate...

I came across this last fall and I can't remember who I cased this from, but I thought this was so cute I couldn't not CASE this!!!  I ended up doing this for one of  my Therapy Card Nites and it was a BIG hit!!!  I was told after the fact that I have my hood upside down...LOL   Did anyone else catch it?  This is so cute that I am sure that we will do another one sometime...

The next card will be posted late on purpose  for St Patrick's Day!  So don't forget to check in on Monday March 17...

Happy Birthday Bike

Here's a fun "Yellow and Gold" birthday card made from Cycle Celebration that we made a while back.  I layered the bike, that is cut out from the Labels Collection and sponged with black, onto Modern Melody DSP.   The Happy Birthday to You corners are punched from the retired notched corners punch and to top it off I tied a piece of ribbon down the side.  Hope you like it...

Throw Back Birthday

Hard to believe I've been a demonstrator for 10 years now!  Lately I've been going through my boxes of old cards that I've kept over the years.  Hard to believe how many I actually have....  This is a CASE of an OLD card!!!  I forgot how much I like the look of layering without really layering!!!  This is a total throwback in not only the card but also the stamps used.   Enjoy...

Red Thanks/Snow Card

Ok, the last of the snow cards because as much as I do love the snow, I am ready for a break!   But atleast with this card I did give the girls an option...

I did case the main idea from someone (sorry I don't remember who).  Taking White CS I cut it into strips and laid it inside the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder and then laid those down on Crumb Cake CS.  Stamped "Snow or Thanks" with Cherry Cobbler along the bottom and tied a piece of Cherry Cobbler  polkadot grosgrain ribbon near the bottom of the snowflakes.  Added some pearls for a bit of a WOW factor to set the card off and layered that onto Cherry Cobbler.  Hope you like it, even if you are getting tired of all this snow....

Snowflake Birthday Wishes

Well who says you could go wrong with a snowflake birthday card?  Unless of course you are up north and getting 2-4 inches of snow a couple times a week!!!  So to go along with all our snow here is a snow birthday card...(of course by the time this posts all the snow will hopefully be gone)

This card uses a snowflake from Festive Flurry layered on Winter Frost DSP, cut out with the Coluzzle of course!  I used the Silver ribbon from the Holiday Mini and a retired stamp from Heard from the Heart.

Valentine Cards...

Here are the Valentine cards that we did this year for Therapy Card Nite...

This first one uses some of the plastic wrapping for the pajama sets from work to make heart balloons.  I used the Hearts Framelits to get the outline and had to use scissors to cut the rest of the way through, but it was so worth it!   I used Dimensionals to pop the hearts out a bit and Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine.  Love how theses hearts look!!!  Then I used a strip of Gingham Garden Washi Tape behind the "when I think of you" stamp from the set Love You to the Moon.  

 Loving this card ALOT....  Stamped "Love you...to the moon and back" in Real Red and Black markers on So Saffron CS then cut it out using my coluzzle.  Remember that toy?  Still have mine and use it quite a bit!!!  Next I stamped the "xo heart arrow" with Versa Mark and used the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder for the background.  I used Dimensionals to pop the moon up off card for a bit of a WOW effect.

Finally this "Love You" banner card made with the SAB Banner Blast set and Banner Punch!!!   I used Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and So Saffron for my colors along with Twine and Silver Brads.  Oh let's not forget the WOW factor of this card with the Tempting Turquoise embossed "Love You" along with the bottom punched out with Scalloped Trim Border.  Who says you can ever have enough stamping toys?

Boxed Love Valentine's

Here is the Boxed Love Valentine's Stamp Camp I did.  We did the Milk Carton from the SU Catalog and filled it with Red Velvet M&M's.  Next we did the Fancy Favor's Box and used the Red Glitter Paper, For the Love of Chocolate stamp set and filled it with Dark Chocolate & Strawberry Milky Ways.   Lastly we made a Boxed Card and used the Epic Day This and That designer series paper and lets not forget the envelope (not pictured) that we made with the Envelope Board.  We had lots of fun making these...
