Have a cherry good day!

We will be making this card in the card class at church next week. The inside verse sais, Have a cherry good day. This bowl of cherries stamp is made by Whipper Snapper. I think they have some pretty fun stamps! I used a rub-on word........thinking of you............. at the bottom and it doesn't really show up very well. I guess the red dot paper is too busy and too dark. Oh well, I will just pretend that I wanted the words to look "subtle"..............and live with it!

Cakebox-BOO

I have been making and mailing lots of cards this week and forgot to take pics of any of them, so, I can't post them here. Not sure what I was thinking, but, I guess I was just in a hurry to get them to the post office and on their way. This weeks challenge was the cakebox from Tags Bags and Boxes. Everyone did such a wonderful job on this challenge, I love them all! I used some Martha Stewart punches on this one. The fence, pumpkins, spider web, and tag are all from Martha. I need to get the card samples made for next weeks card class at church. Maybe I will remember to take pics this week.

Friendship

I sent this card off to a sweet friend a few days ago. I have been wanting to use this stamp with hearts instead of balloons. I found the perfect word stamp to use and had to stamp this without the balloons. I hope she likes it :)

Birthday wishes

This weeks challenge was the train from the New Arrival cartridge. Wow...........this card has a ton of little parts and pieces. I made it for a very early birthday card for my grandson (I hope I remember I made it when his birthday rolls around). He loves Pluto, so, I had to add Pluto to the train. This train cut has so many possibilities.

Butterfly bling

This butterfly is from the Tear Drop cartridge. I used some stickles on the dots in the paper and some rhinestones on the antennae. I love this Threading Water punch......................it makes such a fun border.

Little Ballerina

Another Whipper Snapper stamp. This little ballerina was too cute to pass up. I added Stickles to her outfit and a little rhinestone "bling" to her headband. Still lovin' this Bigz die.

Back to basics

I miss coloring! I have been making so many cards with embelishments and have not been stamping or coloring much. Today was the day. I wanted to sit and work on a card, quietly, so that my poor doggie could lay by me and get some rest. She has had a traumatic time at the vet for a few days. I saw this little girl stamp and could not pass her up! She is so darn cute. She was made by Whipper Snapper. The scallop circle is a revolution die and the tag punch is Martha Stewart ( I sure use that little tag a lot!). I put crystal lacquer on her shoes to make them look like patent leather and also on the glass vase.

Banner

The challenge for the week is the banner on the Celebrations cartridge. Everyone did such a cute job with their banners on the BBTB site. I decided to use it as a side hinge instead. I used crystal lacquer on the glass of the jar and a silver metallic pen for the rim. Just an everyday card with a simple look.

Lil elephant

My nephew's wife had a baby boy on Saturday. Now my sister has NINE grandsons! An entire baseball team! She has two granddaughters, but, they are definitely outnumbered by the boys.

This lil elephant is from the Zoobaloo cartridge. I used the threading water punch for the scallop borders and a Revolution scallop circle die.

Bigz-again

Just playing around with my new Sizzix Bigz die. I love this die! I used plain, pink cardstock, but, it looked too plain, so I used a Judith dowel stamp and Versamark and added a little flower to the background. Martha Stewart tag punch, and Hero Arts, Happy Birthday stamp.
