Calendar Gift

Happy Friday!  My but it was a looooong time getting here.  At least it was for me.  Today I'm going to share a project.  I made these cute little easel card calendar/post it note holders for co-workers.  I got the inspiration here.  I followed the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers here.  I used Stampin Up Daffodil Delight card stock.  The patterned paper is Piggy Tales It's Raining It's Pouring.  The tear off calendar is also from Splitcoaststampers here (this is 2018).   The flowers are from Michael's and the post it notes from the $1 store.  That's all for today.  I hope you all have a wonderful 4th.  See you next week.

Tiddly Inks Book Lover

Hello Everyone.  I'm here with another super cute card.  At least I think so.  This one uses Tiddly Inks School Girl.  I love to read as does my oldest granddaughter.  Maybe that's why I love this image so.  I printed her on Neenah cardstock and colored her with copics. My card base is Stampin Up Real Red.  The alphabet down the side is October Afternoon Sidewalk paper pad.  I added some red ribbon, button and some enamel dots to finish it off.  I am really please with the end result.  I'll see you tomorrow.  Have a great day.

Birthday Cowboy

Well we've made it to the middle of the week.  Whoop, just a few more days until and little down time.  Until then here is today's card.  It's a birthday card for my Brother-in-Law.  The card base is Stampin Up Barely Banana (which is retired) with a Basic Grey layer on top.  The patterned papers are from October Afternoon Sarsaparilla pad.  The cute little cow boy is QKR Stampede digi stamp which is availabe in rubber or digi.  I colored him with copics and used Spellbinders circle dies to cut him out.  The star is My Favorite Things stacking star die-namic.  The front sentiment and the inside are both computer generated.  I also used MFT die-namic barbed wire fence (which I believe is retired).

 I thought little whistling cowboy turned out really cute.  That's it for now.  Again tomorrow.

Art Impressions

Hello All! I have a really cute card today I made for my Daughter-in-Law's birthday last year.  I used Art Impressions stamps (they are so funny).  I started with Stampin Up Daffodil Delight for the card base then Real Red for the matting of the patterned papers.  Those are 7 Gypsies Gypsy Pack Vintage Market & Fancy Pants Park Bend 6x6 pad. The stamps I used are Corset Birdie,  of Corset, Laying an Egg and Flying Feathers which apparently is no longer available. Colored the hen with copics and finished it off with some buttons from my stash.  And there you have it.  Until tomorrow.

Redonkadoodles Birthday

Hello folks.  It's Monday once again.  Today I have a birthday card for my Sister-in-Law.  I started by printing the Redonkadoodles image on Neenah card stock.  Used Stampin Up Poppy Parade to mat the image along with Die Cut With a View's Citrus papers. Colored with copics and fussy cut her out. I tried to use the out of box with Nesties technique but for the life of me I cannot get it right.  I glued the cake directly to the circle which I cut out with Spellbinders circle dies and the main image on foam dots for some dimension.  Finished it off with Stampin Ups Real Red grosgrain ribbon and an assortment of buttons, Sizzix heart and the by hand fishtail sentiment which was computer generated. This goes in the mail today hopefully for a Wednesday delivery.  I hope she likes her card. That's it for today.

Paper Shelter for the Road

Happy Friday friends.  I am so ready for the weekend.  My daughter is off with friends for the weekend so it's just me and the dog and hopefully a lot of card making.  We have a ton of birthdays coming in August and a head start would be great.  Anyway let's get to today's card.

It's a birthday card for my oldest nephew.  I have a Neenah white card base with a strip of Doodlebug Anchors Aweigh patterned paper.  I then cut a strip of black card stock and added dashes down the center with a Stampin Up Chalk maker.  The sentiment at the top is computer generated and cut using Spellbinders Labels One die and cut the top off.  Then I cut by hand a little larger one out of Stampin Up Brilliant Blue to mat it on so it wasn't lost on the white card.  Added some Doodlebug enamel dots.  The digital image is from The Paper Shelter here.  I used Promarkers to color him then fussy cut him and popped him up with foam dots.  I hope my nephew likes it.  That's all for now.  Have a great weekend.

Power Poppy Countryside Bouquet

It's Thursday and I'mmmmm back!  I have a new card to share with you today.  So without further ado let's go.  This is an unusual one for me as it has a LOT of white.  The card base is Neenah, then another panel which I ran through the Cuttlebug with the Textile Texture embossing folder.  Then I framed the image with Stampin Up Brilliant Blue card stock.  The image is a digital from Power Poppy called Countryside Bouquet.   I used copic blues to color the flowers.  Added blue shimmer ribbon from my stash and it was done.  I don't usually do a lot of white but I do like how this one turned out.  Until tomorrow.

Birthday with Pippi

Good morning everyone.  I hope your day has been good so far.  We celebrated with my granddaughter last night for her 11th birthday.  We had a good time.  Her theme for this birthday was emoji.  She's very crafty and had some really cut decorations, some she made some they got at Hobby Lobby.  She had a couple of her little friends from VBS spending the light and they had a really good time.

So let's get to today's card.  I'm late to the game as usual and just found these adorable little stamps/digital's on pinterest.  So naturally they are no longer available.  I was able to get a few of the digital images before they were gone and this little cutie is one.  Her name is Pippi Long Socks.  I printed her on Neenah paper and colored her with copics.  Then used Stampin Up Pretty in Pink & Green Galore.  The patterned papers are digital papers from Nitwit Collections call Butterfly Kisses. Punched a Martha Stewart butterfly and added pink gems and then some pink gems on the image panel.  Then lastly I added diamond stickles to her wings for some sparkle.  I think she's just tooooo cute.  What do you think?  That's all for now.

Saturated Canary Birthday

Okay so I said I'd be back and here I am with the second birthday card for my granddaughter.  All the grand-kids except Anna played T-Ball, Baseball or Softball again this year.  Cara has been practicing pitching so she was put into several games as the pitcher.  So in light of that here is her card.

This one is a digi image Pitcher from Saturated Canary (who has also closed shop).  I have a Neenah white card base with BoBunny Liberty patterned papers.  I used Stampin Up star punch, Spellbinders circle dies, both small & large, flowers from my stash, large white brads for the centers of the flowers and dark blue self adhesive bling.  I colored the image with Copics. And that's it for the birthday cards.  I sure hope she likes this one.  Thanks for stopping by.

The card base is Stampin Up Lovely Lilac.  The patterned paper is really old from Hobby Lobby. The digital image is from Sugar Nellie and is called Angelica.  These are all retired stamps and digis but I saved her from Pinterest.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The flowers are MFT dies (retired).  I colored here with Copics.  I hope Cara likes her card.  Back a little later with another card for Cara.

Kenny K It's Party Time

Hey All!  Well it's Monday once again.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I certainly did.  I spent Father's Day with my daughter and my oldest son's family.  Love, love, love those grand-kids.

On to my card for today.  This is a card I made for my nephew's birthday.  The card base and mat pieces are Stampin Up Basic Black.  I printed the digital image on Neenah white card stock.  The image is from Kenny K who is closing their door the end of this month.  You can find Party Time here.  I colored the image with Copics, fussy cut and popped him up with pop dots for some dimension.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I used Gypsies Venice patterned papers.  The circles are from Spellbinders circle dies.  Finished it off with some black self adhesive dots.  That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Eric!

Good morning everyone!  Yesterday we celebrated my oldest son's birthday.   He loves guitars.  In fact yesterday his family indulged him by taking him to Guitar Center to check out the guitars.  He got to play on a lot of different guitars and dream about the next one he'd like to own.

Any way here is the card I made for his birthday.  I used Neenah white and Stampin Up's Basic Black card stock.  I tried my hand at the Sunburst technique using 2 patterned papers.  I embellished with a digi guitar stamp which I printed on Stampin Up Silver card stock, fussy cut it and popped it up with foam dots.  The musical note dies are from My Favorite Things and are also in the Silver card stock. I definitely need practice on the Sunburst technique.  It's a bit of a mess.  Overall though I like how it turned out.  That's it for today.

I'm lovin' Lovelle

Hey!  I'm back with another card.  This was a birthday card for a friend at work.  I used an Art Impression stamp called Lovelle on Couch which you can find in the online store here.  I love these stamps.  She reminds me of Hallmark's Maxine.  I started with Stampin Up Very Vanilla with a layer of Soft Suede.  I used patterned papers from My Minds Eye Paris & Co..  I stamped on the patterned paper then fussy cut the couch.  I used Copics to color.  I didn't go quite light enough with the blue for her top and so she sort of blends into the couch.  But over all I thought it turned out rather cute and my friend really liked it and that's what counts.  So that's all for now.  I hope you have a really good day.

Out of This World

Happy Friday Eve!  I have another birthday card today to share with you.  I've used a really cute digi image from Tiddly Inks called Come in Cuteness.  My card base is Neenah white card stock. The other layer is Stampin Up Taken With Teal with My Minds Eye Fly a Kite.  I also used Stampin Up star punches, Martha Stewart border punch and Spellbinders circle dies.  I colored the little alien with copics and then fussy cut him and popped him up on foam dots.  Lastly I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the small circle.  And that's it for now.

Tiddly Inks Birthday

Good morning everyone!  I have a birthday card to share with you today.  I made this one for my little niece who is now 4 years old.  From photos here Mom shared I think she had a really good day.   Anyway here's the card.  I started with a card base of Stampin Up's Lovely Lilac card stock. Added a layer of Lily of the Valley Promises patterned papers.  Lily of the Valley doesn't sell paper pads any longer but you can get the digital papers from Nitwit Collections here.  I used Tiddly Inks digital image Be My Sunshine which can be found here.  I used Spell Binders Rectangles dies for the image and matted it on Lovely Lilac.  Punched flowers with self adhesive gems for centers and MS punched leaves and a button finish it off.  I colored her up with Copic markers.  I'm still learning to color with them so I'm not very good.  That's it for today.  Make it a good one.

Paper Shelter Birthday

Well it's the start of another week.  And to start it off I have a card I made for my little niece whose birthday is Wednesday.   This is a digital image Adorable Cowgirl from The Paper Shelter which can be found here.  I used Stampin Up Basic Black, Real Red, Brilliant Blue and Pacific Point card stock. The pattern paper is from Doodlebug Stars & Stripes.  The doily is also from Stampin Up. The stars are from My Favorite Things and the loop border punch is Martha Stewart.  I colored her with Promarkers then hand cut her except for the parts around her arms because I'm not that good with a craft knife and knew I'd cut it badly.  I added foam dots to her to give her a little dimension.  That's if for today.  Have fun stamping.
