Can-ine Be Yours

Valentine cards have to be one of the most fun to make. The theme can be playful or heartfelt I personaly like some red in all my valentine cards or at least some pink. This card I made for a swap on www.tallyscrappers.com The card is made in the easel style this style is great for displaying your cards for the receiver. I used a digi stamp from digital delights colored with copics and popped the image with foam squares. tfl.

Brick Wall

I love splitcoast Stampers technique challenges but rarely have time to play but this week was a technique I love called Brick Wall. The directions are simple stamp a image and cut it into varies size strips and then blocks. Well i decided to make it even simpler by using DP instead of stamping. I then chalked the edges and added gold stickers for a more detailed look. By using a different section of DP I was able to get a totally different look.

New Baby Stand up Card

This will be short and sweet because I have not even started my Christmas cards for this year. Please let's not even talk about the shopping........not finished. Okay back to the card I love stand up cards I think it gives the receiver another option of what to do with your card besides put it in a box. Now your cards can be displayed like a work of art. This card was done for a new baby I think it would be adorable in the baby's room. Besides using a photo of the parents I also found a sweet little girl poem to place at the bottom. Okay I gotta run a ton of things to do.

Countdown to Christmas

Time is moving so fast I can't believe it is Dec. already of course this is from a adults point of view to a child this time of year takes forever to come. That is why I made my nephew a countdown calendar box. I bought a premade box from Archivers used some pattern paper and stickers to decorate added penny candy ,small toys,change and stickers inside the drawers easy peasy. Hopefully this will make each days wait for Santa a little bit more fun.

1 image 2 Cards

I cannot believe it has been a month since my last post!!! That means I really need to get organized and on a schedule. Well for those of you that have hung in there during my absence I have 2 cards to share with you. I am really trying to use my stamps in different ways in order to get more use out of them and to help me increase my stash of cards which I never seem to be able to do. I would love to just be able to pull a card from my stash when I or someone else ask me for a card. The image I used for todays cards are from Mo Manning at www.digitalpenciltoo.com she has the most adorable digi stamps. This little fellow I used for two birthday cards. The first one was for a friend turning 50 the inside reads "I don't have a clue to who stole your youth but I am on the case because they stole mine too". Now just by changing the clues on the ground to words I made another birthday card. The inside of this cards reads" I have searched high and low and I can't find the words to wish you the best birthday ever". I really need to do this with more of my stamps to get more use out of them and save me some money by not always thinking I need new stamps. Hope you enjoyed todays cards and will try to get more use from your stamps too.

Alex's Airport Invites

My nephew will be celebrating his 4th birthday next month. The party will be held at the airport the kids will get a tour of the airport and go up to the observation deck. I made a pocket card and made the insert like a boarding pass with all of the party info. Well that is it for today just a quick post thanks for stopping by.

Magnolia stand up card

This was such a fun card to make I know I will be doing more. If you have not checked out the www.magnolia-licioushighlights.blogspot.com blog this month click over and check out this months challenge. They have this fun stand up card that really lets your receiver show off your work. Although it is a stand up card it lays flat(forgot to take a picture of it flat sorry) but it looks just like a regular card. I used the only Magnolia image I have that was actually sent to me in a swap so it is actually a image someone else stamped for me. I am putting these cute adorable stamps at the top of my WANT list. Thanks for stopping by.
