Name Card for Hospital

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great summer and are enjoying Fall.

The baby is due any day now so we are all on "Baby Watch".

I never knew that you could create your own Name Card for the babies nursery bin but Jodi (Kharmagirl) said that a lot of them had them when she just had her baby.

I decided to make one for Tyler, it will be a great keepsake. I already had this image stamped and colored, just never got around to making a card for it but obviously it was fate that I use it for Tyler. I think it came out very cute and I stamped the back with "Hand Stamped By Mommy". Once the baby comes I will upload pics and maybe just maybe finish a card by Christmas :)! I have been spending time working on his scrapbook so that's made me feel crafty.

Thinking Of You....Not The Laundry

Ahh it's Thursday but it is SO hot here...I am done with this summer heat!

My card today is with one of my favorite images. Anyone who knows me knows that I always have so much laundry to do so this cutie is near and dear to my heart. I also was going for a Grey and Red theme for this card. I have always loved when I see stampers use just use the neutrals and then one color to really pop off the card.

I started with a card base of Basic Grey, White and Real red all by SU. My DP is Cherry Hill by October Afternoon..love it! My image is HG-Laundry by The Greeting Farm. She was stamped with Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink and colored with my copics. My sentiment is Circular Sayings by Verve and was punched with my SU circle punches and mounted with dimensionals. I added Taylor's Tiny Twinkles by Taylored Expressions in Red to the corner of my image and my ribbon is SU Real Red and Basic Grey!

Smile Crocodile

Happy Friday..wohoo the weekend is here! I have to admit that I am having so much fun with this animal set I found in my box of clear stamps.

For my card I started with a card base of Glorious Green, White and Chocolate Chip all by SU. I embossed the Chocolate Chip piece with my cuttle bug bubbles embossing folder. My DP is K & Co. Teal Dots.

My image is Playful Animals by Hero Arts and this croc was stamped onto White cardstock in tuxedo Black by memento Ink. I used my copics to color him and then layered him with the Chocolate Chip and added the Always Artichoke brads by SU. My final accessory in the Kraft Taffeta Ribbon and White Grosgrain Ribbon, again both by SU!

Hope you all enjoy your day!

Hip Hip Hooray!

Happy Thursday!

I'm not monkeying around.....I actually got three cards done in one week! This was a fun card to come up with and to create.

I started with a card base of SU Pumpkin Pie and Choice Buttercream. My DP is Washington Apple by SU, just adore this paper! I stamped these adorable monkeys with Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink onto the Buttercream cardstock and colored them with my copics. I used my circle and scalloped Nesstabilities to cut them out and mounted them with Dimensionals.

My sentiment was stamped and then embossed with my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder. I added four Very Vanilla brads and striped ribbon, both by SU.

Birthday Wishes

Happy Wednesday!

This is going to be a quick one tonight, I'm distracted watching Big Brother. This is a belated birthday card form my hubby.

I started with a card base of Green Galore and Whisper White by SU. DP is Lemonade by Basic Grey. My image is a Digi by The Greeting Farm which I colored with my copics and cut out with my circle Nesstabilities. I loved this image cause it reminds me of my hubby going to work in his suit and tie every day!

I also sponged very lightly some Cantaloupe by Memento Ink. I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder for the background and sugar coated brads in Limeade. Thanks for looking and have a great night!

Happy Mail

Good Friday evening! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!

I just adore this set and have had this image colored for so long and I am very happy to FINALLY have gotten around to making a card with it.

I started with a card base of SU Chocolate Chip and Blush Blossom textured cardstock. My DP is Be Loved by My Mind's Eye. My image is Happy Mail Pure Innocence for My Favorite Things. My image was stamped in tuxedo Black Ink by Memento Ink onto White cardstock. I used my copics to color and added Stickles in Star Dust to the pockets of her dress.

I used sheer polka dot ribbon and used a SU neutral button to help create the bow!

Let's Party

Happy Tuesday! It's been a while but I'm so happy to be posting. Today has been such an amazing day, my husband and I had out 20 week ultrasound and our baby is 100% healthy and we found out that we are having a boy!
I needed to make a card for a friends birthday and I just adore these images. I started with a card base of Soft Sky & YoYo Yellow and DP is Love Me Do by My Mind's Eye. My Image is by Cat's Pajamas and sentiment from Hampton Art.
I colored my image with Copics and used Stickles in Crystal on the bubbles and my ribbon is Soft Sky. Thanks for looking!

Another may Birthday Girl

Happy Sunday!! May is such a crazy & busy month for us! There are more birthday's and anniversaries than any other time and this year my sister is also graduating college so you will be seeing a lot of duplicate images..lol!!

I made this card for SIL birthday which is this Friday! I just adore these little girls, they are so sweet!

I started with a card base of Dusty Durango & White. My DP is Washington Apple by SU. My layout is one that I use all the time, I love the way it really shows the DP. My image is one of the Pure Innocence girls by MFT, My Balloon. I stamped my imaging using Tuxedo Black Ink by Memento Ink and colored with copics. I sponged the edges with Cantaloupe Ink by Memento Ink.

Enjoy your week!

Mother's Day

Happy Tuesday one and all!!! This day has flown, can't believe it is after 5:00pm already!! Anyway, I had such high hopes for this card and I am sad to report that I am not as happy as I thought I would. When I had just the colored image I loved it!

I started with a card base of Elegant Eggplant, White and Lovely Lilac. My embossed layers are Swiss Dots and Birds and Swirls. My image is Sweet Pea by There She Goes and I stamped it in Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink onto White cardstock and colored with my copics. I think I made the mistake when I tried sponging the edges, I just don't like how it looks and once it was done that was it!

I added a light sponging to the two panels just to blend it a little. Also I stamped my sentiment before embossing the panel and the sentiment should have gone down further, again once it was done there was no going back! Thanks for looking!

Birthday Girl

Good Sunday morning! Today's card is for a birthday party we are attending today for a very special birthday girl!

I stamped some of these cute Pure Innocence images from Jodi (stampingalatte) and I knew they would be perfect for this card.

I started with a card base of Cool Caribbean, White and Paper Trey Ink's Berry Sorbet & Lemon. I embossed the layers with my CB Swiss Dots folder. My image, Pure Innocence for My Favorite Things..My Balloon was stamped onto White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink by Memento Ink and then colored with copics.

I layered my image and used dimensionals. I also used my scallop edge punch for the middle layers and used white taffeta ribbon and blue polka dot ribbon. I am so happy with how this card came out, I think it is very girlie and the colors are so bright!

Thankful For Friends

Happy Wednesday afternoon!! I am so happy to share these cards with you today.

Each one of these cards is for a dear friend who were both very thoughtful. One friend gave us the cutest picture frame for our sonogram pictures and the other friend brought over a slew of maternity clothes for me to go through. Both acts mean so much to me!!

I just love this floral image from Sweet Pea by There She Goes and though I would use both for each card as well as the same layouts just different color combo's.
The first color combo I used was Lemon by PaperTrey and Cool Caribbean and the second is Groovy Guava and Certainly Celery. I used my Swiss Dots CB embossing folder as well as my circle nessties. The images were stamped with Tuxedo Black and colored with copics.

I Love You Beyond Measure

Well May is such a busy month for me that I decided to get an early start on all the cards I would need. I thought this one might make a cute Mother's Day card.

I started with a card base of Berry Sorbet by Paper Trey Ink and Very Vanilla. My DP is Beloved by My Mind's Eye and my sketch is a Verve sketch from last August.

My image is from Chemistry by There She Goes and I stamped the same image three time in Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink onto Choice Butter Cream cardstock and colored with my copics. I cut them out using my circle nesstie and then added Glossy Accents to make the jars look like glass. I stamped my sentiment onto the middle circle and used my CB to emboss the bottom layer.

When I Said "I Do"...

Hi everyone!! So I spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon with my pal Jodi Collins (Stamping A Latte) for some much needed girls & stamping time! I had so much fun and this cute creation is one of the cards that came out of that time.

I made this card for my husband for our Anniversary which is May 1. I think it is just perfect as the laundry in our house always seems to be at max capacity, actually I have a load drying and washing right now!

I started with a card base of Old Olive, White and Chocolate Chip. My DP is Bloom & Grow by My Minds Eye. I thought the colors were so nice and could be used for a masculine card. My image is from a favorite set of mine, so thanks for letting me borrow Jodes, Loads of Fun by There She Goes.

I started by stamping the image with Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink and colored with Copics. Then I cute it out with a rectangle nesstie and bordered it with a scallop rectangle nesstie. I also paper pieced the boxer shorts. Now comes the AWESOME part...Jodi got that same afternoon her new Copic Airbrushing system and we airbrushed the sky- it was so much fun!! I used her bow maker to create the perfect bow with the chocolate chip ribbon and a nesstie tag for the sentiment and again airbrushed the tag to match the image. I hope my hubby likes this!!

You Make The Simple Things Special

Happy Thursday!! The sun finally came out today here in NY and it felt so nice and warm!

Here another "general" card! I am so happy that I am building up this little collection, that way come May when I have a million holidays going on I will be prepared!

I started with a card base of Summer Sun and Very Vanilla. Again my DP was part of the pack from my last card and once I get the name i will update...sorry!

My image and sentiment are both from Paper Pretties and I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Ink by memento Ink onto Choice Butter cream cardstock and colored with my copics. I used Shimmers on the leaves and grill of the watering pail and used Glossy Accents to give the look of faux water. I used my circle nessties to cut the image out and layered with dimensionals. I made a corner knot with red sheer ribbon from Michael's and used my red copic and added dots to the corners.

You Make Me Happy

Ahhh it's Wednesday night, the weekend is almost here along with the warm sunny weather!

I have stuck to my guns and am continuing to make cards that are more general and can be used for a variety of occasions. I must say that I just adore this card...the image is too cute.

I started with a card base of Old Olive and Very Vanilla. I got the DP as a gift so I'm not sure who it is by but I will find out and update...I just loved it though. My image is Meredith the Tea Cup Girl by Stamping Bella. I thought she was going to be hard to color but she really wasn't. She was stamped in Tuxedo Black by Memento Ink and colored with copics. I used Memento ink in Melon and sponged the background to blend in with the DP.

Once again I used a rub on for the sentiment, I have really found a new life in these. I also used some shimmerz on the butterflies.

Happy Day

So happy Friday everyone!!! So I must say that I am probably just as shocked as you to see a new card up but late yesterday afternoon I went to switch some laundry and I thought I was going to proceed upstairs as usual when all of a sudden I had this pull towards my stamps and I put this card together in no time. Maybe the baby used the Jedi mind trick on me-lol!

Because I have depleted my card stash so much these past few months I really need some general cards that can be used for a variety of occasions. I thought today's could be used for a birthday or mothers day or just inspiration.

I started with a card base of basic Black, White and Groovy Guava. I ran my GG through my CB embossing folder. My DP is Recipe Box by October Afternoon. My image is Camille by The Greeting Farm and she was a limited release digi. I used my copics to color her, she is so fancy!! My sentiment is a rub on by SU as are my white and groovy guava ribbon. Just a simple card. Have a great weekend!!

Sorry I've been missing

Hi everyone!

As some may have noticed I have not posted in quite a while. To be honest I haven't stamped in quite a while. But I do have a good reason.....my husband and I are having a baby!! It is our first one so we are very excited, but since we found out in mid February I do nothing but sleep!!! My stamping has taken the biggest brunt of the toll..lol! I have missed you all, and missed seeing everyone's work. I'm hoping that my mojo will return with a gusto! Wishing you all a happy spring!!

xoxo

SSSC58...Thinking of You

Good Monday afternoon!! Hope the weekend was kind to everyone, I spent Saturday having lunch with an old friend and then hitting the movies to finally see Avatar with the hubby. Sunday was just a day of hanging around waiting for the USA vs. Canada hockey game to start.

I used the sketch from Karen Giron's (The Sweetest Thing) Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC58.

I started with a card base of Lemon and White by PaperTrey Ink and my DP Hippity Hoppity by We R Memory Keepers. My stamp set is Trendy Trees by Stamping Up.

I used my square punches and stamped the tree trunks and then stamped the leaves onto a seperate piece of white cardstock and used my circle nessties to cut them out and then poped them up on dimensional. I also rock and rolled by leaves in Pink Passion and Certainly Celery Ink by Stamping Up. The last two things I added were the white ribbon and the green sugar coated brads.

Enjoy!!

SSSC56 Greetings!

Good Saturday morning!!! Hope you are all having a wonderful start to your weekends! I have plans to have lunch with an old friend today so I am looking forward to that!

It snowed all day yesterday here in NY so I was able to spend my time crafting!! Even though this is a more complicated layout than I usually attempt I surprisingly had fun putting this card together and I love the finished product.

My layout is the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge from two weeks ago, SSSC56. over at Karen Giron's blog The Sweetest Thing. I started with a card base of Night of Navy, one of my favorite colors ever. My DP is Marrakech by Basic Grey, I just love the blues and greens in this paper. I also matched it with White and Ocean Tides cardstock, both by PaperTrey Ink.

My image is Dressy Ebony by The Greeting Farm and she was one of the limited digital releases that they had in December. She was printed onto White cardstock and colored with my copics. I have to say that this is the first time that I made her hair a color other than black and think she is too cute!! I used my circle nesstabilites to cut and layer, added the white ribbon underneath and then stamped the sentiment, which is from Mailbox Greetings by PaperTrey Ink, in the right corner.

Karen thanks for a great sketch and hope everyone has a wonderful day!
