Missing You Cards

Thought I would share some new cards I made using

some of my new Avacado Arts stamp sets.

This was a scraplift as well as I added some of my own personal

touches to it.

I really like them and thought you would too!

The little stamped buttons are from Papertrey Ink and the graph paper

background is from Glitz Designs.

Have a great day!

Masculine Birthday Cards

Hi there! Back with some masculine birthday cards...this is one

catagory that I definitely have a hard time with...must because I can't

put all the flowers, bling and glitter on them!!!

THis first card I used up some leftover paper I had from CTMH.

The sentiment is a Papertrey Ink Set called Birthday Wishes.

The Pocket watch image is also a CTMH set for Father's Day.

The second one is again more leftover papers from CTMH as

well as the small compass stamp being from the Pair-a-Phrase set.

The Happy Birthday stamp is from Stampin' Up!

I like the way they came out they just seem a bit plain jane to me, but

what can you do? No rhinestones or glitter allowed for men.

Hope you've enjoyed todays share.

A Card with Burlap

I was making cards with some friends not too long ago and these are

one of the cards that I came up with using some old K & Co. paper I had

in my stash, Some vintage lace, burlap, seam binding ribbon, pearls & flowers.

I like the look of it although getting the burlap straight and the edges with

a frayed look was a little time consuming.

Have a good day!

Some Baby Cards

Today I wanted to share with you some really cute baby cards

that I made in December that I never got to post on here.

They are made using the baby line from Simple Stories by Memory Works.

I cut apart a few paper doilies and pleated them to get the lace look

along the legs and for the collar. Added a cute little pearl bow by Darice.

The sentiments are from Close to My Heart and the banners they are on

are from Papertrey Ink. I can't wait to make some more of these I loved

how they turned out.

Have a great day!

Valentine Bookmarks

So today I have to show you the sweet valentine bookmarks I made

yesterday for Jake to take to school for his class.

I thought they are at least practical and the kids always are

in need of a bookmark.

So I made 30 of them so there will be a few extras.

The valentine paper is from K & Co. from last year. The valentine sentiment is

from Papertrey Ink, the shape punched for the sentiment id from Stampin' Up!,

The postage shape that the little puppy is mounted on is form the Cricut cartridge

by Close To My Heart - Art Philosophy.

I tried a new technique that was over on Papertrey Ink's blog this past week.

Where you stamp or in my case print the image on colored cardstock and

then you color it in with copic markers using shades that will

compliment the cardstock. I thought these turned out pretty well and

after coloring in 30 of them I had a great time with this technique.

And the oh so cute puppy who's name is "Silver" is from a new

company that I stumbled upon yesterday called http://www.tiddlyinks.com/

and they have a great selection of all sorts of digital stamps.

Which I love digital stamps because you can do so much with them

and it usually is a small investment. Like this little guy was $3.00,

but I feel like I already got my moneys worth with him with

these valentines and I printed out some other ones to make my kids

 Valentine cards with and colored him to look like our puppy Champ!

I'll be showing you those later this week.

Well I hope you have enjoyed my little share today and I will be

bask soon with more to share.

Happy New Year!!!

So I hope you are all off to a great start in the New Year!

I have decided to get a head start on Valentine's Day

projects since we never know what life has in store for us.

So I made up these Teacher Valentine's for the kids to

give to them.

These are the envelopes that I decorated to go with the cards.

I used Papertrey Inks - Heart Prints for the images & sentiment.

These are the cards. I used a new digital purchase from Jessica Sprague's website.

It is the Project Life Digital kit from Becky Higgins. I printed out the background

in a 3.5 x 5 size and then the journaling cards in wallet size.

The Heart punch is also from Papertrey Ink it coordinates with the Heart Prints

set from them. I also used the Teacher's Apple set for the Teacher sentiment.

Well I have some more Valentine projects coming this week so stay tuned for those.

Have a great day!

Wine Bottle Tag

I meant to post this before and just realized that I had not

done it yet. My friend Leslie had me do a special order for her for

the wine she was giving out at Christmas to family and friends.

She wanted it to be something different and special...so this is what

I came up with for her...

I used Stampin' Up! cardstock, Close to My Heart - Art Philosophy cricut

cartridge to cut out the name tags and some tiny candy canes & holly that I

found at Michael's. The die is from Papertrey Ink for the wine tag itself.

I really enjoyed making them and thought they turned out pretty good

for never having made them before.

Bee back soon with more things to show you.
