A Little Break!

Hi All!

So, I took a tiny break from wedding invites today and made this card for the blog candy challenge over on Alex's blog. This sketch was a lot of fun and Alex is giving away some awesome candy. Head on over and check it out!

I used Purely Pomegranate, Groovy Guava, and White to complete this card. I love these colors together, they're fun! The main images are from Gina K Designs, but everything else is Stampin' Up!

Thanks for looking! I'll be back tomorrow with an all new challenge from STAMP SOMETHING! Hope you'll join us! Happy Stamping!! :)

For a Friend

Happy Thursday!

Just a quick post today to wish my good friend Jo a very happy birthday! I made this card in honor of her special day!

Jo likes pink and always uses flowers on her work. So this is for you Jo, Happy Birthday! Hope it's a wonderful day!

Happy Stamping!! :)

Birthday Blog Candy Card

Happy Thursday All!!

The card I have to share with you today is one I made for Jo's blog candy give away. She's offering up a bunch of goodies and all you need to do for a chance to win is make a pretty and pink birthday card.

I used one of my new Tilda stamps that Jo sent me for my birthday. She's so cute and perfect for a happy birthday with her little present in hand. I used some printed paper and paper pieced all her clothing. This works for the challenge on Cute Card Thursday which is to use patterned paper. I finished the rest of the image using my Stampin' Write markers. Tilda's wings have been covered in Stickles for some shimmer.

The base of the card is a piece of acetate with rub-ons, which are hard to see in the photo. I paper pierced the main image piece and layered it on a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock. The sentiment is from SU!'s Short and Sweet and was punched with oval punches and attached with a rhinestone brad. I saw the acetate and rub-on idea on Katharina's blog. Her card is much nicer than mine though! :)

Thanks for looking. Hope you're all having a great week. Be sure to check back tomorrow when we post a new challenge on STAMP SOMETHING, we are going to have our first guest designer too! Happy Stamping!! :)

Cute Card Giraffe

Happy Thursday!!

It's rubber-dultery day and Cute Card Thursday! For the challenge on Cute Card Thursday, you need to make a card based on a sketch by Katharina. And for rubber-dultery day, I chose to use my Gina K, Just So Hippy stamps.

The color combo is Pretty in Pink and Certainly Celery with White. I used my scalloped oval Nestabilites and Coluzzle to make the centerpiece image. I embossed the white piece with the Swiss Dots CB folder. The printed paper is from a hostess pack from Stampin' Up!. The embellishments are grosgrain ribbon and rhinestone brads.

Thanks for looking! Hope you'll join me tomorrow for another challenge on STAMP SOMETHING! Happy Stamping!! :)

Rubber-dultery Thursday Bella

Happy Thursday!

I can't believe another week is almost over! Time sure is flying by. Hope it's been a good one for you.

So, this is the card I made for Rubber-dultery Thursdays. I also had it in mind for the blog candy that's up for grabs on my SBS sister, Kathy's blog, Kathat Stamps. Go check it out, she's offering a pack of Prismacolor Pencils and all you have to do is make a card using some sort of coloring medium! Too easy!

I used a piece of textured Real Red cardstock for the card base. Then added a piece of bright dots paper from a scrap kit I had, not sure who makes it though. I stamped the image in black Staz-On ink and then colored my Pregobella with watercolor pencils and an aquapainter. For the final touches, I added paper piercing along the bottom edge, a ribbon to tie the card closed, and some felt flowers and brads.

Thanks for looking! Be sure to check in tomorrow when we post the challenge for this week on STAMP SOMETHING. Happy stamping!! :)
