Halloween Cards - My Favorite!

I used 2009 Halloween Tags by Papertrey Ink for the spider web stamp in the center.  I added a bit of sparkle to the web with the clear sparkle gel pen. 

Happy 58th Mom & Dad!

Snowbunnybellas!!!

I used the Snowbunnybella by Stamping Bella on all these cards in a variety of colors.  It was so fun making them all!  I used a couple of Cuttlebug folders as well as patterned papers. Nestabilities dies were used on some of the cards.  In the glittered areas I used the quickie glue pen & sprinkled Prisma glitter over the glue.  I don't know why I was inspired to make winter cards when it is 100 degrees outside??

Pinecone

Susan made a card like this for me a few years ago.  It is still a favorite of mine & I wanted to give it a try.  I think we shared a package of these cards & they are perfect for Fall.  The Elegant pinecone is by Amuse Art Stamps.  I colored the pinecone with Brushable markers (becasue they don't bleed thru the paper!) and then added a little bit of Copper Stickles here & there. 

Gardening Girl

I found this Gardening Girl Notepad at Michael's in the dollar bin.  I thought it would be a perfect combination with the Lovin' From The Oven gal (My Favorite Things) with her vegetable apron!  The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety Mini Deck.  Happy Birthday Mary! 

M!

Doreen made this card for me a few years ago for my birthday!  I still have it hanging on my bulletin board in my stamping studio!  The 'm' is brown metal & oh so very cute with the little ribbon tied on the side. 

Stamping Bellas

This was a sample board at Simply Scrapbooks in Dayton, Ohio where I recently visited!  I thought all three of these cards were nicely done.

World's Best Teacher!

Rose goes back to teaching today!  We are thinking of her & hoping she has a great year with her students, they are lucky to have her!!  The teacher stamp is by My Favorite Things called Back To School. 

Hallmarks & Elegant Thank You!

I found these Hallmark cards at Wal-Mart of all places!  Aren't they great - and look at the envelope lining!  They had quite a variety of them & I found these two to be my favorites!  Susan - do NOT go out & buy these two as I already have them in 'your' room waiting for you! 

Very Simple - I stamped the Elegant Thank You by Stampin' UP on white cardstock & used clear embossing powder to emboss it.  I added a couple of gems & a layer of black cardstock.  I used dimensional dots to attach it to the front of the card. 

I just love the Elegent Thank You stamp - I would consider it a must have from Stampin' UP!!

Pumpkin

I love Fall & all the colors of Fall!  I found this little die cut in my pieces & parts plastic container & decided it should be on a card!  The card is yet another of the monogram cards that I have in my stash.

Stamp TV!!

Hi - I always enjoy watching a technique video on the internet.  See the link below for a great little video by Gina K on how to make this card.   She does a great job & since I am a visual person it helps to see the video.  Enjoy!

Thanks So Much!

The inspiration for this card were the unique envelopes that a friend sent to me.  I cut the card base using white cardstock to fit the envelope.  I used Papertrey Ink's Patterned Paper called Beautiful Blooms.  I added a little red polka dot paper to the envelope flap for a fun look.  Thanks So Much is from Hero Arts. 

With Sympathy...

I wanted to use Pocket Silhouettes to make a few sympathy cards.  I like to keep them simple.

Pocket Silhouettes...

This stamp is from Stampin' UP's Pocket Silhouettes.  I used an embossing folder on the front of the kraft cardstock.  I stamped the image twice on the ivory cardstock & then inked it up to give it an antique look. 

Enjoy the moment

The javabellas were turned into gals holding cupcakes!  I stamped & embossed the Javabellas & then colored them.  The cupcake stamp is by Stampin' UP.  Enjoy the Moment words are in the Mixed Messages set by Papertrey Ink.  I found some cute patterned paper & made it look like an awning. 

Celebrate Today!

The cardstock & ribbon is by Papertrey Ink - Kraft, Aqua Mist & Ivory.  The Cupcake Tower is by Impress Rubber Stamps.  The celebrate today words are from Mixed Messages by Papertrey Ink.  I put a few sprinkles on the cupcakes. 

Susan Inspired Cards!

My friend, Susan gave me these notecards from Hallmark & also made the most darling card for me (see above).  I was then on the hunt for the flower stamp that she used - isn't internet shopping great?  The Sun Days Flowers are by Penny Black.  I used a variety of words to make these 3 cards.   

Happy 50th Joe!

So Joe turns 50 today!  Happy Birthday Joe!  Too bad you can't stop over & join us for a cuppa Joe this morning!  Have a great day! 

Friends Forever

I used the Sistahoodabella stamp by Stamping Bella but I only inked up 2 of the 4 sistas!  I thought it would be cute to send a friend a card but I only wanted 2 gals on the card.  The notecard is by AMuse Art Stamps.  The words are from Papertrey Ink Simple Little Things which was an anniversary set from 2007. 

Memory Box

I totally copied this card from the Memory Box idea gallery.  I didn't have the exact same ink colors but I came pretty close to what they used. 

Mod Tree Border is by Memory Box. 

Anyone you know ever been in the Dog House??

Before you ask, No Jerry/Jerome is not in the dog house!  ha!  The dog house stamp is by Picture Show.  I bought this stamp at a Rubber Stamp Convention several years ago & I have never been able to find any information on the internet about this company.  The words are by Rubber Cottage.  I used the Kiwi green tinplate square card by AMuse Art Stamps.

Sistahoodabellas

Check out this great group of stampin' sistas!  I kept the coloring simple on these 4 gals as some times I get overwhelmed with too many colors.  I only used a soft blue, light gray & two hair colors.  I added a bit of glitz & glam with the Stardust Clear Glitter Pen.  The stamp is by Stamping Bella called Sistahoodabella. 

Hello!

Simple card using patterned paper & ribbon.  The Hello words are by Hero Arts.

I ♥ Lanterns!

I really do love lanterns!  All the stamps are by Impress Rubber Stamps.  The red lantern I used Prisma glitter on to add a little sparkle. 

Bubblebella

A fun card using Bubblebella by Stamping Bella.  This would be a great card for a birthday along with a gift card to a spa!  Doesn't that sound like a nice way to relax??  The words & ribbon are by AMuse Art Stamps.

Golden Oldies...

Let me introduce you to Melvin!  This silly old guy is by Art Impressions J-1620 which is their Golden Oldies line of stamps.  Isn't he funny with his high waisted pants & his big glasses??

Make A Wish!

The card is by AMuse Art Stamps called Madeira Red Notecards. I stamped the Savvy Graphic Dot Cake in pink ink & then used prisma glitter to add a little glitz to the cake. I punched the word window by Stampin' UP on the front of the card & then put Make a Wish words (sorry I couldn't identify this stamp?) on the inside of the card.

You Rule!

I wanted to use this clear stamp set by Our Craft Lounge to make up a few guy cards.  I was so pleased with the way it turned out & it was fun!  I paper pieced the screw driver but other than that it was simple coloring.  Did I inspire you Susan??

Hallmarks!

Both Susan & Dona inspired me to get out these Hallmark cards.  The cards come in various colors at your Hallmark store & you can fill in the circle however you want.  I stamped a couple of things & the flower is a sticker that I had in my stash. 

One of the things I really love about them is the cool polka dot envelope flaps!

Look at all of these that Dona whipped up!!!  Her Mom & daughters all needed Birthday cards so she will have them all set up with a great variety of cards! 

Mr. & Mrs.

Dona came up with this wedding card idea & I totally copied it because I thought it was so pretty!  AND I already had the cake stickers by Jolee in my stash.  She embossed the white orange peel textured paper with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls Embossing Folder & inked up the edge with Encore Champagne ink.  I stamped Mr. & Mrs. for the words & used my Stampin' UP Modern Label punch, then used dimensional dots to attach the words.  I added a bit of sheer ribbon & this card turned out so elegant!  Thanks Dona for the idea! 

The Jolee cake stickers & Dona's card that inspired me!!
