Happy Monday!

I have finally gotten a chance to use one of my new stamps that I got from 7kids pre-order. I just love this little bear and robin by Gillian Roberts. I wanted this card to have a little vintage look to it so I did alot of weathering on it and smudging some extra ink. PLUS, see the fabric? I used some old cloth that I tea stained years ago and stamped some snowflakes on it. The paper is from my new Cosmo Cricket packs(Oh yeah, another favorite!). As always, my bear is inked in Memento tuxedo black and colored with copics!

I hope you all have a splended day!

HI!

Today's card is a little different than I am used to making b/c it has barely any coloring on it and still makes a statement. I did start with the little hedgehog from the Penny Black Set Bubbly. I colored him and the little ladybug with my copic markers. I always find these smaller images to be a little more difficult to use and this is one of the ideas that were rattling around in my head. Just a simple HI with the image still the focus. The letter H is a Hero Arts letter for stamping that I covered with paper from the Basic Grey Bittersweet line. The letter i well I had to improvise on that one because I wanted it smaller but still with the same shapes- so I doodled it. The little tag is one I made to go with the card, I love all the fun tags I am seeing and plan to make many more!

I also wanted to share a "heidi" special over on ABC Toys and Crafts. You can get 15% off the regular price of your entire order by using the promotional code ABC15H through September 30th. Yes- that is 15% off your entire order and you can use it as many times as you would like! Oh- and do share this code with your friends.........

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Wheelbarrow of Happiness

So I had to ink up Leisel with her wheelbarrow that I also got over at KLSNS. I just love these new pixie girls from CC Designs. I think because they are little pixies and they do have a face, the perfect solution for those that struggle with the faceless kids (which I do not!). Lets face is, one of thems name is Heidi so I have to love them and it is easy!

This card is stamped with memento so I can use the copics without any trouble, and for those that frequent me, know I use neenah paper as well. The paper is some from Basic Grey June Bug pad again. This is a wonderfully bright and cheerful paper pack. I then used one of the large SU eyelets to thread that beautiful satin ribbon through- talk about a nice feeling. The flower is a prima that I took the little polka dot circle that I punched out the eyelet hole with and used a epoxy sticker over it and stuck in the middle of my prima. The next card I do I am going to put something in that little wheelbarrow.

Tata for now! Heidi

Oldie but Goodie!

Hey all- Happy Tuesday! Busy day here at the Steinhebel household, some appointments, work......... and then some special tasks to do this evening. I will share photos of what I am doing next week- I have to keep it under raps for now.

But I pulled out one of my older Tilda images this week. You know you build up all those new Magnolia's (or whatever your vice is) and then you don't use the older ones- I love this one. So I am submitting this one for the Friday Sketcher Challenge. The image is Magnolia Spring Collection Tilda with bird. which you can still get over at 7kids! I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah paper and colored her with my copics to match the Basic Grey Lime Rickey. For the flower I punched out a piece of the paper with my circle punch and covered with epoxy sticker. I do love this sketch and will use it again!

Thanks for stopping in! Heidi

Just sitting in the flowers......

Oh my......... what do you think? I got my sweet little Heidi in flowers in the mail this week and I could not wait any longer (working on some other projects that I had to put on hold). This has to be one of my fav cards although I don't think that it photo as well as I would like but after 10 photo I gave up!

She is stamped with memento ink on neenah cardstock and then colored with my copic markers. The DSP is Basic Grey June Bug that I also got from Kelly over at KLSNS. I have gotten so bad, and I am sure that many of you are like me, but I am buying ALL the Basic Grey pads because they are so yummy. I don't think that I would even have to see them- I would just order them. I was at Hobby Lobby the other day and they had a Holiday Sampler and the papers were so gorgeous. Anyone see it yet?

Well I am off to get some work done- you all have a fabulous Thursday!

Beauty in Pink

Ok, I got my new Nestabilities pendent package the day I am leaving for vacation- what is a girl to do? Well of course, one with priorities would get to work on something creative, so that is what I did! I love these litte yummies that I already got from 7kids! I can't believe it- not alot of people have them yet and she got them in and out already- thanks Tab: you are a gem!

The paper is the new Basic Grey Lemonade paper pad and it is also so yummy, the pinks and greens and the prints are just so lemonade'. LOL, if that is a word, but it is kind of like when Bittersweet came out it just makes your mouth water.

So anyways- the Renaissance Heart pendents are so easy and they pop right out without any issues. I have always used my nesties in my cuttlebug but gave the big shot a try and they worked like a dream! I embossed them and everything. The cardstock base is pretty in pink and then the base of the pendent is pink piroquette. I added a little stickles to the hearts but you can't see em well can you? Of course I had to finish it off with a heart. I was going to add a sentiment but I just thought it was too pretty and I can always add whatever I want to it later.

So? What are you waiting for- you want these now- stop over at 7kids and see what Tab still has. Tata for now!

Thank You

This card I made for the Cute Card Thursday challenge, it was to make a thank you card for a teacher or someone that has made an impact in your or your child's life. So, this is my take for this weeks challenge. The base of this card is Kiwi Kiss and then I took some Basic Grey pieces that someone had sent to me and mixed and matched. The sketch is one that I found in my sketch book and thought it was simple enough that I could make it while still being able to pack for vacation! LOL! (priorities I might add!). The ribbon is this beautiful gold color and I got it from the $1 bin at Michael's some time ago! I love how it ties and it is very rich looking. The flower I cut with my cuttlebug die and then added the greens with the MS branch punch! The sentiment is SU.


That is it for you all. I hope you like it!

Cupcake Birthday

Is this little cupcake cute or what? I used Basic Grey Bittersweet to make the cupcake which is made with the Sizzix Sizzlet Cupcake that I got from ABC Toys and Crafts. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I was going to do with it- it is yummy enough to eat I think! I just think that if I got this card in the mail it would be special because it is 3D and it has a little cute cupcake tack too! I added a little stickles onto the cupcake and also the pink background to give it a little bling! I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Dino-Mite

Ok one more Party Dragon.......... hee hee hee! I had to do this one to match the paper. This paper is Basic Grey Cupcake line and it is fun and bright and Kelly at KLSNS had sent it to me a month or so ago and I just had to use some more of it. Of course I stamped the image with Memento tuxedo black and colored it with my coordinating copics. I have really been working on my highlighting and blending- can you all tell yet? I think that I can: especially on his shirt and then on the cupcake I think. My card is a 5x5 card with a SU pumpkin pie base and a little SU mellow moss thrown in there. The hard part with this card? I don't have any little boys to give it to.... is that sad?

Oh and one last thing- do you want to win some SWEET Blog Candy- here is a picture of what you get- just sign up here on the KLSNS blog and you will be entered to win! You will get a CB folder and a Rachelle Anne Miller stamps and some other goodies- definately worth the trip over there!

Celebrate Today

Happy Memorial Day!

This sweet little girl is a Sarah Kay (oh yeah- you all know that!) and Kelly has them now over at KLSNS for sale! This one is Picnic of Daisies that I colored with copic markers, which Kelly is also carrying over at KLSNS- she has some great sets that you can pick up for a great price and free shipping offer as well.

The DP is Basic Grey Bittersweet and I just love this paper, of course because it is pink and brown but it just is very victorian as well to me. Add a few pearls, some lace/ribbon and some bling and you got nothing but all girl!

Well I hope you all are grillin', relaxing and havin fun!
Heidi

PS: don't forget the free shipping at KLSNS as well!
