Great Impressions!

This is a Great Impressions card I cased from their site. It added ribbon and changed the ds papers since I didnt have what they used. I also changed the sentiment. On the inside it says happy Easter.
I think this little bunny is so adorable. He is added onto the card with foam dimensionals.
I added rhinestones to the flowers on the card and on the stamped image.
Happy Stamping!

Ribbit!!

This little guy is from Great Impressions. I am so glad they went to unmounted. Cuts down on the cost and the storage space. The sentiment is from GI also. I used some old papers I had had around for awhile, some SU ribbon and some flowers, then I needed somethng extra so I added the butterflies. I should have put some rhinestones on the butterflies but oh well!
I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday! He is colored with copic markers and then I added some googly eyes and used my rectangle nesties to cut him out and the scalloped rectangles with gumball green from su to layer him with.

Great Impression House!

I got a few of the great impression stamps for this month. These are two of them on this card. I may modify the card some because I dont like how the sentiment turned out but I really want it on the front of the card. So we will see how it goes. I made the house spotted to match the paper. This is some more of the papers I used on the girl with the ice cream cone card. I was stamping with my good friend Alice yesterday and she said I was really on a purple kick because every card I made matched my purple finger nails. Not sure why I was using so much purple but I had everything around me so why not. I was also working on a birthday card for Kati. Her birthday is tuesday. I cant believe she will be 23. Where does the time go?

It must be the best life to be a cat! Here is my grandkitty Keke and our kitty Sam! While Keke is visiting Sam likes to stay outside alot. He loves our chairs with the cushions. What a great life!
My card is the third card for last weeks stamp club. They like to have one man card each month so I think this qualifys. The lighthouse is from Great Impressions and the sentiment is hero arts. I saw this layout on a tutorial put out by Gina from Gina K Designs. I used stampin ups cheesecloth for the background and the leaf stamp is from great impressions also. I added the shells for a little dimension.
The inks and cardstock are stampin up. It is blue bayou ink and marine mist and forest forest cardstock.

Butterflys!

Hello!
This is a card I made using a Great Impressions stamp. It was one of Aprils stamps. I just wanted it to be simple. I used a sentiment from Verve.
Colored it with copic markers and added a little glitter. I found this butterfly paper somewhere recently. I think maybe at the local scrapbook store in Sherwood.

TECC63

This is my card for taylors cupcake challenge this week. TECC63 www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com.
I used the great impressions stamps that came out this month. The stamp of the month is the background stamp with the vines and flowers. I also used my nestibilities and copic markers. Stampin up lovely lilac cardstock. I am not sure where I got the ribbon. I put a little bow on top instead of the flower on the cupcake challenge. I also glittered the butterflies and the center of the flowers.
Now I am working on a magnolia card. My 1st magnolia stamp that is my very own and not borrowed.
Happy stamping.

Stamp Club Invites!

These are my invites for stamp club this month. They are all Great Impressions stamps for April. I couldnt resist cuz the sample board had all but one in purple and the other one in turquoise. Some of my favorites colors. I am in the process of making 17 of them. I love pansys and teacups so I was totally lost on getting all these. I just couldnt help myself. Plus they were 30% off so what was a girl to do???

I used stampin ups lavender lace cardstock and nestibilities. Plus a cuttlebug embossing folder. Then I colored everything with copic markers and added some glitter, rhinestones and ribbon.

It would also make a great mothers day card.

Last Great Impression!

Today is my hubby and my 23rd anniversary. I told him yesterday I have been married to him
for half my life. It seems like a long time when you just think about the # of years but then when

actually go back in time thinking about it, it doesnt seem as long. I remember when I was young and would hear about people being married this long and being amazed thinking "wow thats forever". But now that doesnt seem like forever.

Anyways, here is my last great impression card for this week. Unlike the other three, I practically copied the whole card off there website so I cant take any credit for this card but the ladies at the store where I am going to teach this class specifically pointed to this card and asked how to make it. So thats why I totally copied it from the board to show them.
Have a good week and happy stamping!

Great Impressions #3

I've had this stamp since it last year I think and finally used it. I like the way it turned out. It
reminds me of a picnic. Maybe I should have just added some ants too then it would have been
perfect for a picnic.
It is another card for the great impression class I am going next friday.
I have one more to show tomorrow and that will be it. Tomorrow I have to work on a card for a friend in Minnesota. She sent stamped angels I need to make into a card for a store there and work on a hollyberry house card for a class next month.
I am still anxiously waiting for my ketto girls from stamping bella. I guess everyone else loves them too. They are so busy it is taking more than a week to process orders. Then it will
take another week to get them. My 1st order shipped yesterday so I hope to get it at the beginning of my vacation so I can stamp Ketto girls like crazy and make candles and use all my other cool new stuff I have gotten in the last few weeks. I am ready to go. But I have one week of work left.
Oh, well, have to make money to support my hobby.

Another Great Impressions Card

Here's another Great Impressions Card I did for a great impression class I am doing next week. I used the top note stampin up die and some yummy ds paper. I'm not sure I like how the ribbon goes around the middle and I did another card just like it only with the ds paper on the back instead of the background stamp. I am not sure which I liked the best.

I will have two other Great Impression cards coming up this week also.

I also took a candle class on sunday and it was great. Even tho I could hardly smell the yummy smell with my stuffy nose.

So even tho my stamping hobby keeps me busy and I have always said I dont need another hobby I am going to be making candles as soon as I get my starter kit. I got my password last night and got to go online and check out all the scents. I can hardly wait? Yum!!

Great Impressions!

I made this card with a great impression stamp and sentiment for a great impression class I am going next week.

I love how the colors all came together. I think it is very soothing and the colors remind me of a spa. I used copic markers an some glitter on the bathtub and bubbles.

Have a good week and happy stamping!

Along Time!

Hi Girls!
I know its been awhile. I have been busy exercising and all that boring stuff. Trying to be a serious dieter.
Here is a card I made for a great friend and penpal. She loves the sea colors and sea themed items. She does lots for a lot of people so I wanted to do something for her. I made a gift pack of 6 cards. The ribbon reminded me of Ariel from a little mermaid. I mailed it out to her and she loved it.
The stamp is great impressions. I used the swirly cuttlebug embossing folder, I also used justrite stamps for the words and a retired SUwheel along the bottom. The shell is colored with SU watercolor crayons and I ran over it with my watercolor brush.
Thanks for all you do LYNN!
Happy Stamping!

PS Tomorrow I will have my card for Taylors cupcake challenge.
