More Quick Cards Made With Scraps

Happy Friday everyone!!! Let me fill you in on a little secret....I'm not really here. I am north of Dallas at Bev Gerard's home with the Rubbernecker gang..WHOOHOO!!! Sherry, Bev, Shelly, Jules, Broni, Kittie, Linda, and Mr. Rubbernecker himself, Dave Miller!!!!! I can't believe I am in the company of so much Stamping Royalty!!! Candy and Tami couldn't get away but they are here in spirit!! Anyway, I will have some scheduled blog posts for ya through the weekend and then watch out...lots of party pics!!!!!

Here are a couple more quick cards made with scraps and unfinished project stuff.


I have had the Blue Bayou card and dp in my unfinished drawer for quite a while. I decided to pull it out, add some bugged scalloped layers, and stamped the Botanical Blooms images on a scrap punched vanilla oval with Blue Bayou and Certainly Celery. The sentiment from Think Happy Thoughts was stamped with Blue Bayou and the flower was stamped with Certainly Celery. Blue Bayou ribbon and brads finish it off.

Now this card had been sitting in my unfinished drawer for almost a year...just needed to add the punched Pink Pirouette scallop and prima with the button and glue everything together. The Inkadinkado Cupcake image was stamped with Basic Black and colored with markers. The Basic Grey Cupcake paper was matted with Pretty in Pink and attacked to the bugged Certainly Celery background layer. The ribbon and prima with the button are the finishing touches.

Thanks for visiting today and I will have something made with new stuff tomorrow!!

WT 203 and Taylor's Cupcake Anniversary Challenge...the Last 4 cards!! Whoohoo, I Finishes all 9!!!

If all of you don't know, I am a real slow stamper!! So, for me to finish all 9 of these cards by today was a real challenge!! Sometimes it's good to push yourself just a little....it's amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it!!
All four of the cards I finished today were also for the WT challenge to use alcohol inks in new and different ways. All the cards were colored with copics and some had embellies colored with copics, too.

This is my 6th card (Taylor's sketch) for the 9 sketch challenges to celebrate Taylor's One Year of Cupcake Challenges Anniversary. The sweet little cuppies from the A Year of Sweets 2 were stamped with Memento Black and colored with copics. The paper is by Imaginisce and the pink layer was run through the Cuttlebug with the Dotted Swiss folder and scalloped with the SU border punch. The flowers are from Memory Box, the buttons are from Basic Grey, and the ribbon is Wild Wasabi.


This is my 7th card of the 9 sketch challenges for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Anniversary. This sketch is by Anna Wohlfahrt and also qualifies for the TLC205 challenge to use pleats (the background Purley Pomegranate dp layer was pleated). The image was colored with copics and the words on the two heart buttons at the top were colored with copics. Glitter was added to the Rubbernecker heart toperary image for a little glam. I just love this retired SU dp....as you can see I have been hoarding!! The sentiment, also by Rubbernecker, was stamped with Purley Pomegranate and Papertrey Ink ribbon, pink heart brad, and a prima finish it off.

This is also one more Valentine down and about 5 more to go!!









This is the 8th card for the 9 sketch challenges for Taylor's One Year Cupcake Anniversary Challenge. This sketch is by Jackie Pedro...the Rubbernecker Sunflowers and Laughter image and Rubbernecker sentiment were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and the image was colored with copics. I used an orange copic to darken the bling at the top. The paper is from Basic Grey's Mellow and the ribbon is PTI's Summer Sunrise. the background Kiwi Kiss layer was run through the Cuttlebug with the Dotted Swiss folder, all the circles were cut out with Nestabilities, and the bottom layer was scalloped with the Stampin Up! border punch. I know the color combo looks a little strange for a Spring card but I really need a change after so much red and pink!!










Whoohoo....I finally finished my 9th and final card for Taylor's Cupcake Anniversary Challenge!! This sketch is by Sherrie Siemens and I used the darling little cuppie licking his lips over all the sweets from Taylor's Love is Sweet set. The image was colored with copics and I also colored the buttons with copics. They have a cracked look that looks kinda cool! They were attached to the chipboard heart that was also colored with a copic. The circle was cutout of red glitter paper using Nestabilities and the heart dp is by Flair Designs.

Thanks sooo much for visiting and hope you were able to complete some of these challenges, too!! Have a great day....I'm off to celebrate with a cupcake!!!!

Good Morning!!!

Good morning everyone...I was up bright and early this morning. It seems since the time change I am waking up earlier and earlier!! Remember when you were a kid and could sleep till noon....awww, those were the days!! Anyway........the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast today is to use a long forgotten corner punch. I had to dig a little but finally found this one. Thanks, Julia, for inspiring us to give our corner punches a little love today!!

The Lockhart Holly Cupcake from Ellen Hutson, LLC image was stamped on vanilla cs with Memento Black, colored with Copic Markers, cut out with Nestabilities, and attached with dimensionals. The Merry Christmas sentiment from Papertrey Ink and the Cupcake sentiment from Inkadinkado were also stamped on vanilla cs with Memento Black. The holly and berries from the Clear Dollar Stamp set called Holly Builder were stamped with Mellow Moss and Riding Hood Red inks, cutout, and attached with glue dots. The Ribbon and brad are from Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts and the Prima Poinsettias came from Michael's.
