Cupcake Birthday

Happy Saturday everyone!  I hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far. 

It's been awhile since I've played with my distress inks so I thought I'd pull them out and color this adorable Cupcake Jump stamp from Stampendous.  I think these little House Mouse images are so cute!  I used the Stitched Rectangle die from Lawn Fawn to cut out my image and then added a few balloons and some sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  

Hugs, Anita

Just Cute Bears and Friends

Hello everyone!  I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.  There's a new challenge over at the Just Cute Bears and Friends Challenge Blog.  The new challenge is to use black + white + one other color.  I used red as my additional color.

My image is Peace Birdie by Stampendous.  I love this stamp.  I think it's adorable and it's perfect for a quick and easy card.  I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol and cut it out with my Nestabilities.  I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder and some black gingham ribbon tied into a bow.  I used my punches for the flower, snowflake and branches and used Glamour Dust to make them all sparkle.  So, I have another Christmas card completed and ready to add to my stack...yea!

Don't forget to stop by the Just Cute Bears and Friends Challenge Blog to check out the beautiful work by the other DT members.  Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Stampendous Penguin

Happy Saturday!  Today I have a card that I made for my local stamping shop, Simply Scrapbooks.  I used a clearset by Stampendous called Yule Penguins.  This set has several really cute penguins in it, along with some nice sentiments.

I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol, and used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I added some stickles for the snow and the heart.  A glaze pen added a little gloss to his beak.  I used some Polar White Flower Soft on his hat and then tied on a ribbon.  This was a quick and easy card. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.  Tomorrow I'll be posting a card for the next Just Cute Bears and Friends Challenge, so please stop by.

Warm Wishes

Happy Thursday.  OK, this is the third day in a row I have posted a new card.  I don't know what's up with that but I guess I'm on a roll.  This image is called Cutie Bundles Set and it's by Stampendous.  I picked this stamp up at my LSS, Simply Scrapbooks.  If you live in or near Kettering, Ohio, you've got to check out this store.  Vicki, the owner, has a huge selection to choose from and she and her staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.  They also have lots of awesome projects in the shop to spark your creativity!

So, I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol and added Glamour Dust to her hat.  Isn't she just the cutest?  I love that smile on her face.  I used my Martha Stewart snowflake border punch and added some shimmery ribbon around it.  I used various punches to punch out my snowflakes and I covered them with Glamour Dust and added purple gems.  My paper is the new Christmas paper by BoBunny.  I love these nontraditional colors for Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.  And to those of you that have signed up as followers, I also want to thank you.  I do appreciate that you take time out of your busy schedules to stop by to see what I've been up to.
