Halloween card #9

Card inspiration.  I saw a card online and loved it and I knew I had to make one like it.  Unfortunately I could not find my distress inks I wanted to use so I had to use my stampin up ink pads for this card.  I did stamp the images from paper smooches ghoul friend set and heat embossed the images.  I absolutely love the sentiment.  That was the only reason I even ordered the set!  
I used a white gel pen to make the teeth and eyes pop out from all the colors going on.

Halloween card #8

I hope you like this next one.  It's a shaker card with my halloween stamp set from stampin up.  I actually ebayed this set last year.  It's classic and I have a thing for collecting retired stamp sets from stampin up.  They just don't make them the same way do they?  
The sentiment is from paper smooches ghoul friends.  

Halloween card #7

Heres card #7!  This was a simple one with square die cuts from mft square pierced dies.  The stamps are from paper smooches.  

Halloween card #6

Yoh probably noticed the same halloween paper I've been using.  It's from a paper pack I'm trying to use all up and there is just so much paper!  Lol. I got this stamp while I was surfing online. It's from eat cake graphics.  He's Harold and his Hoover.  It's 2014, why only fly on a broomstick?  Time to upgrade!  Ha! 
Once again I used distress markers to color in the image.  
I used two different sentiments from the tiddly inks stamp sets.  

Halloween card #5

I almost forgot I had ordered tiddly inks stamps during their sale over the summer.  It was such a great sale being 50 percent off all stamps.  I got my hands on a couple of halloween sets.  I colored these with my distress markers.  I used the lawn fawn banner dies and the sentiments are from the greeting farm spooky set.  I punched out the little bats from my stampin up bat punch.

Get well cards

So we are entering cold and flu season, I thought I would get ahead of the game and make some get well cards now! Lol. I used the mft cheesecloth background stamp which looks like gauze if you ask me so it's perfect for the matching nurse chickie!  I made them into shaker cards.  I think next time I need to use 3 layers of foam tape for more height.  One didn't have sequins in them since it kept getting stuck on the foam adhesive.  

Lawn fawn new release

I got a couple of the new sets of stamps from lawn fawn winter release.  Adorable release I wish I could get them all but that's just too many stamps for me.  I used the mini set milk and cookies set last night and made this sweet card perfect for birthdays.  I used vellum on the card so mask off some of the milk boxes I stamped.

Halloween card #4

Heres my Kristina Werner inspired halloween card.  Oh how I love Halloween!  I got my greeting farm spooky halloween preorder set in a while ago and finally got a chance to stamp them out.  I always seem to say that don't I?  There's never enough time to craft!  : ) I got to use my new MFT cheesecloth background stamp.  I was super excited about that seeing I never use background stamps.  So it was exciting to try something new this time around.  I used a seperate mini star stamp and stamped on little purple stars in the background.  I popped up the image and the sentiment on foam tape to give it dimension.  I stamped out 2 more of the little pumpkin guy so I'll see if I make 2 more of these cards or use them on something else.  
I had to add on some orange doodlebug sequins to the mix.  They seem to last forever so I'll be using them on every card hehe.

Thanks bunches

Tonight I made a quick paper smooches card.  I made a thank you card using the veggie stamp set and the lawn fawn speech bubble die.  I colored the white paper with the same copic marker to punch out the little hearts.  I added wink of stella to the hearts then used glossy accents to make them shiny.

Sweet and simple

I thought I'd make something sweet and simple!  I got a large box of cards from michaels for 5 bucks.  Great for card bases! So I cut out the hello from lawn fawn but before that I inked the paper with my mini distress inks.  
I tried and ombre effect on the hippo.  I think it worked out lol.

Happy mail

Another tiddly inks card.  The little girl is so cute so I paper pieced her dress to match with the pattern paper.  I have so much doodlebug paper I have to use it already!  Once again I used the doodlebug sequins to tie the purple all in together.

Paper smooches inspiration!

Was inspired to make a simple paper smooches card.  It's an everyday greeting.  I love cows for some weird reason.  I used this cow in the past with a christmas hat for a christmas card.  I'm not sure if my sister really liked it but how could you not like this cow???  I got to whip out my new to holtz mini blender tool and put it to work.  Used salty ocean mini distress ink pad for the background.  
This is the chubby chums set.  
And the clouds are also paper smooches but from the scooter set.  I used foam tape for a teeny bit of dimension and here we are!

Surf and turf

So we are having a surf and turf party at work and I decided to make cupcake toppers and a banner to go with our theme! The PPC has it covered! (Party planning committee) lol. My inspiration comes from my surf and turf set from paper smooches. I adore this set!!!! It's funny because I didn't think I "needed" it, but decided to order it anyway and now it's an absolute favorite of mine!  First off are the cupcake toppers we made at work. Aren't they adorable?? 
Next pic is us flying the toothpicks to the back of the toppers.
The babet is my favorite part. I have paired it up with greeting farm's mermaid stamp from the beans kit that recently came out. So happy to be an owner of it. She was perfect for my project! 
Then after! I kept it simple.  Put the images on dimensional a and added some sequins.  The circles were cut from MFT stitched circle dies and the banner is from the new lawn fawn banner dies. 
Cute right? 
I also used the birthday tags set from lawn fawn for the bday sentiments. 
We're getting live goldfish to add to the presentation of our surf and turf party! Hope you enjoyed!

A little inspiration

I love the alley way stamps.  When I saw the bacon stamp I knew I had to get the set.  My friends ask why do I have a bacon stamp, I say why the heck not?? It came in handy when I made Xmas tags for a friend!  So here it is again in card form. 
I love how I glazed the yolk with my glossy accents. 
Inside is decorated too!

Summer card 2

Here's another summer card I made with the surf and turf stamp set.  I got the inspiration online.  The clouds are from mft.  I stamped on wish big which is from birthday tags from lawn fawn.  I think the crab is so cute! This is a perfect birthday card. The land I made is from mft die.  I think it's snowy hills or something.  It's perfect with the vellum acting as water. 

Summer cards!

Its the beginning of the heat and I'm starting to dream about the beach!  I've had my eye on the surf and turf stamp set from Paper Smooches for a while now and finally got my hands around them.  The images are so adorable on them.  I decided to try a shaker card so here is the result! 
I used my oval spellbinders die to make the opening of my card.  I wanted it off set so it would show a little more yellow and make it more fun. I used a combo of blue and aqua sequins from doodlebug to make it look more like ocean water!  I inked the edge of the blue paper with my prima jacket blue jay. I have so many of them it's about time I use them! 
I've got some shimmer on the fishies inside and voila!

Wise owl

A quick little card with my paper smooches owl stamp. I love a soft green and wanted to use my pistachio green from stampin up.  Doodlebug's sequins finished up the card! 
I cut out a second set of eyes and popped them up with the nest. 
The brown is baked brown sugar from stampin up. I love their inks.

Think fast card

I got the Think Fast stamp set from paper smooches a while ago and finally broke it out to use it.  So much fun with this set.  It's great because this set could be used for guy cards too.  
I put white dots in the meat, maybe it's pastrami?? I dunno! Lol
I used doodlebug paper for the background.  I liked all the bright colors in pad. So hard to choose which one to use!

Purple onion designs card

Purple onion designs had a spur of the moment sale for a short day!  I got a chance to stock up on some more Stacy yucala stamps.  I love her images.  So adorable.  I can use them for all occasions.  This card is just a sweet hello card.  I used my distress markers to color the images.  I masked off the bear and tent to add walnut stain and faded jeans for the background.  
I paper pieced the marshmallow stick and the fire and popped them up for more dimension.  I got the happy camper sentiment as a freebie from Michele! 
I added wink of stella to the fire but it's hard to see in the pics.  
The stars in the background is from the lucky stars stamp set from lawn fawn. Cute puffy stars!
