Cards

Here are two cards I made a long while back and never posted.

The top card was from when I was on one of my favorite DT's Sew Many Stamps. They went out of business and it made me very sad. My coloring has improved a bit over time. I used my Spellbinders to cut out the oval and my Irock to add the gems to it.

This anniversary card was so pretty and I completely forgot to take pictures of it before I sealed it in plastic. I used my Cricut to cut out the cake.I added Stickles to the layers.

Orange Flower Birthday

Here is a simple birthday card I made. I used DCWV paper. I used a Stampin Up birthday sentiment and my Irock metal embellishments.

I cut out a white lacy circle and embossed it to put behind the flower.

Rapunzel Card

I love Rapunzel and this cute out from Miss Kate Cuttables is just so cute. I used my Silhouette to cut her out. I used some cute princess paper from Hobby Lobby. The Happy bday is a stampin up stamp. The I love you most is a Jaded Blossom Stamp.

I just got done watching Tangled for the 100th time so I thought I would post this card.

Inky Glitter & Sparkle Challenge

This week on Inky Impressions the challenge is glitter and sparkle. I added a lot of both to this card. The paper has glitter on it. The metal accents have glitter on them as well as the ribbon.

This stamp is Princess Lili. She is so cute. I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to her.

 

I turn the image so you can see where the glitter was added. I used Stickles to make parts of the dress pop. 

I used my square punch to make this flag and stamped it with a Pink my Design sentiment that goes really well with this cute princess. I used my Irock to add the gold accents. I used ink around the edges of the flag.

Come over to Inky Impressions and join in on the fun.

Cinderella Cards

Here is another couple Cinderella cards that I made. I used Miss Kate Cuttables princess for the Cinderella.

I used my Irock for the white metal gems to the corner. I added twine and a sentiment is a dollar Studio G stamp.

This card I used a Pink By Design sentiment. I used The Paper Studio Princess stack.

I used shiny paper for the darker blue on the dress. I added Stickles to the head band and chalk for the cheeks.

Mojo Monday Yellow & Blue Card

 I love sketches and Mojo Monday is one of my favorites. I wanted to use some of my scraps and this sketch was perfect for that. I used my Irock for the metal accents on the right. The sentiment on front is from Stampin Up.

 The image and inside sentiment are both from Sweet N Sassy. I used an image called Coneflowers and Butterfly that I love and use often. I colored it with Copics, added Stickles to the top of the flowers, and Glossy Accents to the butterfly. The sentiment is from the Birthday Innies set.

Rapunzel Cards

 Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair. How cute is she?! I cut her using my Cameo and a great cut file from Miss Kate Cuttables. She has all the princesses for only 50 cents! I cut her and put her together using my Xyron sticker maker and Creative Station. It is so much easier to put these cut outs together using the Xyron sticker makers.  I added Stickles to the center of the flowers. I added chalk on the cheeks. I got the cut file for the card itself from the Silhouette store. I love its shape.

The I love you most is from Jaded Blossom Simple Sayings 2. The happy birthday is from Stampin Up. I cut the little labels with my Spellbinders. I added metal embellishments using my Irock on the birthday label.

I was a little stumped at first glance of The Sweet Stop sketch for this week. Then the ideas came a flowin' :) . The sentiment on front is from Pink By Design. I used my Spellbinders for the lacy circles.

I cut the balloons with my Cricut Celebrations cartridge at 1 3/4 in and added the cute Peachy Keen faces. The pink metal accents were added using my Irock.

I just got a new set of Sweet N Sassy Birthday Innies stamp set. I LOVE them. They have the best sayings.

Valentine's Day Card~Flag Dies

Here is a simple card I put together. I used three scraps of Valentines paper. I used my square punch to make them look like flags. The rest is pretty simple. I am doing well on my goal to make simple cards.

Inspired Stamps Missing You

This cute little girl is from Inspired Stamps. I colored her with Copics. I cut the circle with my spellbinders and inked the edge. I inked all the paper edges. I added some time and some blink with my Irock. You can find the stamps I used here. 

Happy New Year everyone I hope your year is great!

The Stamping Boutique Card & Bookmark

I wanted to revisited this post I made last year. I found this post searching through my blog and I am now on this design team so want to re-share this post.

 These two images are from the Stamp Boutique. They are super cute. I colored them with Copics and chalked the edges.

 This card fold is one of my favorite ones.

 I added some ribbon and brads to the embossed strip of paper.

 I made a corner bookmark with one of the images for myself. I have made several of these for others and decided I wanted one for myself.

This is what I said a year ago and I am now on this DT. ****Sad I was working on this project to link to apply for Stamping Boutiques DT call and went back to link it up and the link was closed. I had checked it a couple hours before and didn't realize how soon it was closing. Bummer, they have such cute stamps. Well maybe next time. 

Cows verses Horses Blog Hop

Welcome to today's blog hop. Today celebrates 2 special holidays: LOVE A COW DAY and NATIONAL HORSE DAY so to celebrate some very talented crafters have come together to show off their work and two pick their favorite animal: horse or cow. Have fun seeing the projects that revolve around these to wonderful animals as well as find out who is our winner in Cows Verses Horses Blog Hop!

Jearise over at http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com is our hostess today and she is giving the digital black and white stamps of the horse and cow pictured on our blog button. All you have to do is become a follower of hers and hop through leaving a comment on the other crafter's blogs as well as hers.

You should have come from Sandy's to my blog.

Did you guess what animal I picked?

I really like horses better in real life but I had these cute cow sayings I wanted to use so I went with cows. I cut the cow from Create a Critter at 3 inches. I made them all different mostly because my cartridge has layer 1 and 2 mixed up on this cow. Weird! 

These two sentiments are from K. Andrew Designs All about Animals set. The pink card has some metal accents I added with my Irock. The purple card has a Peachy Keen stamp from Critter Faces and I colored the nose and tongue with pink. 

 This sentiment is from Pink By Designs birthday set. 

 Here are all of them together :) 

Thank you for stopping by today and now please continue on to Jessi to see some more moo-velous cards or whatever cute saying would go with a horse.
