Flower card

I found this flower on the Cricut cartridge "Tags, Bags and More". If you use the mirror image, it will come out like a card. I cut 2 different mats using the next 2 sizes and then used the scallop circle from Mini Monograms. The scallop is at 5 1/2. I ran the scallop and the front of the flower through the Cuttlebug with the dots folder. The sentiment is from PaperTreyInk Just Hatched and the inside is Faux Ribbons. I picked up the primas & curly ribbon(which curls all by itself) from just4funcrafts.com (don't forget your susave5% discount code).

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Easter Card

Just a quick post to show you a card we made on Wednesday. This was Carolyn's creation and I just finished mine this afternoon so I thought I would post it. We masked off the eggs and them tapped ink onto the eggs using stipple brushes. The bird was positioned using a stamp-a-ma-jig. Sorry once again I failed to get the maker of the stamps. I will try better to get this info. Hope you all have a great weekend. We are suppose to hit 82 degrees. I love it! Everything is blooming out & things are greening up. It is my favorite time of year!

New cuttlebug folders

I made this card awhile ago. Anna had a challenge on her blog and I took it but never uploaded it so I figured I would do it now.....better late than never right? I used the baby boy paper from DCWV and the card base is SU! Eggplant Envy(discontinued). I do not know why SU! retired this color ...it was one of my favorites! Oh well the bird stamp is from SU! A Little Birdie Told Me.

I don't know if you can see it very well but the green paper is embossed with one of the new Cuttlebug embossing folders. (You can click on the picture to make it bigger)I love the new folders that came out. The card base is using another cb folder that has been out for awhile. The stamp is from Whipper Snapper. Such a fun stamp to play with. I put beads on the ice cream for sprinkles. The sentiment is from SU!

This little Stamp is from Stampendous. I used another new cuttlebug folder on this card. It is the dots embossing folder. The card base was cut using New Beginnings cricut cartridge. It even scalloped the edge and cut a window in the card. Using my mega & giga square punched I framed the window. The flower on the front is punched with SU!scallop circle punch and the sentiment is a SU! SAB rub on. The mini brads I picked up at just4funcrafts.com(if you order anything from her you can use the savesu5% code & get an additional 5 % off most items.....I know I am an enabler) Thanks for stopping by and looking. I feel some blog candy coming on.....check back!

Wednesday Cards

Hi All! Here are a few cards we made at our Wednesday gathering. This 1st card is made with a WhipperSnapper stamp. We used the cuttlebug embossing folder for the background and colored the little frog with prismacolor pencils. Much more vibrant in person.

I felt like using some springy colors so I came up with this little card. Again the cuttlebug was used for the background. We actually used a new dot folder on this one. I love anything to do with dots. All the supplies are SU! with the exception of the green ring of flowers. That is a TAC stamp.

Carolyn came up with this card. She found the directions in the new Papercraft magazine. She had the same paper used in the magazine . Thanks Carolyn for the cute card. She even made Valentine cookies & cooked us lunch.....a yummy ham ,cheese & broccoli ring. We had a wonderful salad with it.

I have to go make my SIL a 60th Bday card....I keep telling her she is Sixty, sexy & single so now I just have to come up with a card to match. I will post whatever I come up with. Happy Stamping!

Happy Fall

I have been going crazy not being able to stamp so today I decided I had to take at least an hour to make a card. This is what I came up with. I used a new SU! set that I received on Monday but didn't have time to even open the box until yesterday. The set is Autumn Harvest & it came cut already which was really nice. I hope SU! continues to precut sets because i would rather stamp than cut stamps. I used background paper that I have had for eons and stamped the pumpkins on the Only Orange CS first, then onto the printed paper, cut it out & glued it over the original stamp. The sentiment is from SU! Everyday Flexible Phrases. I think I will try to make another really quick before DH gets home.

Cards from today

These first 2 cards are cased from Paula Goff.

I thought her little ladybug was darling so I copied and shared this with the friends I stamped with today . We used the retired SU! Marigold CS, Black & White. The stamp set is SU! Pick a Petal for the wings and the head & rear are made from punches.

Carolyn cased this card from SCS-babsbkt.

We used the retired SU! Cheesecloth BG stamp and Carolyn also used the cuttlebug swirl for the card base. Some Stickles smeared over the center of the sunflower gave it some pizazz. Thanks Carolyn.

Not sure how much stamping I will be doing the next 2 days.....we have another 24 hours of irrigation starting at 10am so I will be taking care of that until DH gets home from work to take his shift! Hope you all have a great weekend.
