Christmas Swap

I was invited to join a Christmas Card swap and this was my swap.  I had great fun with the new stocking punch and stamp set!

I did a second one up to see which stocking I liked better.  I can’t wait to see the swaps I get back!

I used lots of items from the new Holiday Mini catalog. :0)  There is so much in there that I love!

Be on the look out for Christmas card classes and kits, coming soon!

Thanks for looking!

Pennant Die Birthday Banner

Perfect Pennants die is such a fun and easy die to use!  I made this banner for my daughters birthday.  She picked the colors from the Brights Collection. Didn’t she do a great job?  I wish I had a better camera because these pictures just don’t do it justice, it is so cute!

Making this banner was much easier than trying to photograph it!

I had such fun adding all the bling.  I mean you can’t have too much bling, right?

I made all the butterflies using the Beautiful Wings embosslit.

All the little flowers were made with the Boho Blossoms punch.

The bigger flowers were made with the Fun Flowers Die and the white flower is from the Paper Daisies pack.

I textured all of the letters using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Whew, say that 3 times fast! All the pennants were textured with the Perfect Polka Dots TIEF.  There, that’s definitely easier to type anyway.

For more sparkle I added Glimmer Brads.  And since that didn’t seem like enough I also add some, okay well a lot, of Basic Rhinestones Jewels. 

All the letters were made with the Alphabet Simple Letters die.

Even though I made the banner for my daughters birthday, since mine birthday is only 5 days later, I left it up for me.  Whether you’re 9 or 90, and I’m definitely not 90, every girl should have a glittery birthday banner!

Thanks for looking!

An Adventure

I just realized I never posted this! Enjoy.

I love this scooter!  Here’s a shout out to my friend Dina.  I was thinking of you when I made these cards!  If I come visit you in Toronto will you give me a ride?

My inspiration for this card came from Sandi Maciver.

I used my aqua pen and classic ink to color in this cute little scooter.

It’s hard to see but I added a little rhinestone for the headlight.  It just make the whole thing pop!

I was definitely out of my comfort zone with these colors and I’m still not sure if I like it.  I think it needs some Old Olive… Teehee!

I hope you’re inspired to go and create something!

Come sail away, come sail away,

come sail away with me…

Boy that takes me back to the 80’s!  Can anybody tell me who the group was?

Michele Foerst & Gail Sachtleben were my inspiration for these cards.

I’m keeping the first one as my sample.  It’s my favorite, probably because of all the Old Olive in it.  Anyone who stamps with me knows it’s my favorite!  I try to use other greens, or heaven forbid no green at all, but I just keep coming back to Old Olive.

The one below is for my husband for Father’s Day.  I hope he likes it!

This one I made for a make n’ take, at this months Bunco, Stampin’ Up! style.  Nothing like a fun night playing bunco, stamping and hopefully winning Stampin’ Up! product.  :0)  Usually I don’t win, but it’s still fun!

Thanks for looking.
