I'm calling this card my "Candice Card" named after my best friend Candice Lighty. You can view her blog here. I need a shirt that reads, " Everything that I know about stamping, I learned from Candice". So, I'm dedicating this card to her. It has stamping, paper piecing, hand drawing, layering, embossing, eyelets, and ribbon!!! I just adore her stuff and I want to stamp just like her when I grow up!! :) Anyways, she got me an awesome gift certificate to My Favorite Things stamps for my birthday so this is one of the sets that I got with it. It's called Merry Christmas? I paper pieced the wall and chair on the stamped image and colored the rest in with my Copics. I hand drew the wood floor. I embossed the background with my Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder and added some snowflake brads and some ribbon. I hope that I did Candice proud!! ;)
Here is another one of my Christmas cards that I made. I only made 2 of these because this image takes a long time to color in. Santa is a 4x4 inch image from Whipper Snapper stamps. Isn't he just adorable holding those two cute penguins? I colored him in with Copics and used my new Snowflake Spellbinders die. I added some bling to the snowflake too. I used my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. There isn't a whole lot of extra space on this card once you get that huge image on there but I'm very happy with this card. :)
The first is the Kreativ Blogger award!! I think her blog is pretty awesome. Be sure and check it out!! Candice's Blog
The second is this award. Here is the translation for this award - "Translating the words on the above award from Portuguese to English: "This blog award invests and believes in proximity - (creating friendships)!" [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy]. These are the other words to be included with the award:These blogs are exceedingly charming. These bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these awards are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these bloggers!" I copied the meaning from Candice's blog. Thank you again, Candice for these awards...talk about making my day!!!
It's been a long time since I've used my Cricut for cards but I got it going today!! Here are two Mommy to be cards. I have a dear friend from college that is expecting her first baby in June and the other card is an order that I got from one of DH's co-workers. I used New Arrival for the Mommy, George for the circles, and Mini Monograms for the Scalloped Circle. I added Prima Flowers and bling to the centers and her little purse. Printed paper is from the DCWV Baby Boy Nursery Stack. The sentiment is from the Studio G $1 stamps.
not at posting but at at making cards and everything else!! I got together with a friend last week and stamped and colored while our kiddos played. We all had a great time. Here is my first card from an image that I colored at Amy's house. He's a Whipper Snapper stamp...isn't he just the cutest with his little stick horse?? I hand-drew the wood floor after my dear friend, Candice, taught me how to do it. I colored him using Copics and the ovals were cut using Nestie ovals. The background candycane stripe is from the new Martha Stewart Christmas paper stack found at Walmart. My dear friend, Suzanne from Texas, sent me this stack for my birthday!!
Here is an anniversary card that I got an order for. It was for a 63rd wedding anniversary...so I knew that it needed to be EXTRA special! I chose an all white theme and LOVE how it turned out. I used my Cricut for this card. I used Happily Ever After for the silhouette of Cinderella and her Prince and George for the heart. I layered it all on and used pop dots for the heart and Cinderella and the Prince. I used a Studio G clear stamp for the sentiment. Inside the card, I printed out the words to "their song". I also added some bling to the front and inside too.
DH is a pharmacist at Walmart and they were having an open house to recruit new pharmacists so the pharmacy techs have been working their tails off cleaning the pharmacy top to bottom..removing ALL the bottles from the shelves and everything. It looked amazing in there when they were all done. But one in particular went above and beyond by taking the horse by the reins and made a list of what needed to be done and made sure that everyone did their part and got that place in tip-top shape!! Charlie had asked if I would make a card for her and for the rest of the staff so I whipped up these cards. The stamp is Domestic Goddess Hanna from hannastamps.com. My best friend, Candice, had stamped these images for me a long time ago. See, we used to swap stamped images in hopes of spending less on stamps...that worked for about 2 months. LOL Anyways, I colored her using Copics and cut her out using Nesties. Background paper is by MME.
My son, Max, who's 6 years old and in the first grade brought home this wonderful coloring of Mona Lisa. I think that he did a wonderful job coloring this picture and it's truly a work of art!!
At least in my dining room for now! My mom created this AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL flower arrangement for me. I bought the ceramic boots at Target and some of the picks at Michaels. I gave it all to her and told her to have fun with it and she threw in some stuff of her own and voila...a masterpiece!!! She's so amazing at flower arrangements...I on the other hand cannot arrange anything except paper stuff. LOL This is going to go in my cubby above our fireplace for Christmas. Thanks, Mom!! :)
