EAD Blog Hop-2 cards!

Hi everyone! We are starting the week off with an EAD Designs blog hop! I hope you all can join in, there will be a prize given away.. so make sure you make it to the end you don't want to miss out on anything! :) You can start the hop HERE, if you came from Amy C.'s blog you are right on track!

Here's a little card I made with a new stamp set I picked up at JoAnn's a few weeks ago ((I have a thing for bikes lately...I've been crossing my fingers hoping my hubby will get me a beach cruiser soon! :) ))..I used the April release of the EAD/Paper Smooches Birthday Sentiment rub-ons for the wonderful sentiment! I did some paper piecing and used a tiny bit of glitter on the flowers.

And in honor of Earth Day being this week ((it's also my anniversary! woot! woot!)) I thought I would make a little sumthin to celebrate our beautiful planet! :) hehee..

This card was fun to make! I used the 

Hoo Loves Earth Day stickerz

along with my beloved cloud punch and some bright pattern paper by Echo Park.  

I also used my Medium Polka Dot stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps for the background.

I hope you like 'em! 

Your next stop is to the talented miss

Hello everyone! And happy Thanksgiving to you all! I just wanted to put up a quick post and wish you all a great day with your family and let you all know that I am so thankful for each and every one of my followers! You all deserve to have an awesome day! ;)

So I whipped up a little set of thanksgiving cards to give to some fam..I used some old pumpkin stamps I had in my stash ((I think they are by Inkadinkado)) and the sentiment is from the new Scrappy Mom's Stamps 'Simple Sentiments'

These were super easy to make, and to top it off I added a lil' sprtiz of glimmer mist!

Welcome to the North Pole

Hi everyone!! Here's a fun card I made with some new Christmas stamps I got from Michael's, the set is by Recollections. I wanted it to look really snowy and wintery. I used the Winter Frolic cart for the hills with the trees and free hand cut the 2 bottom hills! I used my new Prisma pencils to color in the stamps and added some stickles to look like snow. I love how it came out and my hubby even said it looked cool..so that made me happy! :)

I can Bearly wait...

Hi everyone! So, how many of you remember me mentioning maybe getting some Prisma colored pencils?? Well I finally decided to take the plunge and I got myself a nice set...thankfully I used a 50% off coupon at Michaels and got a great deal on them too! So I thought I would break them in and make this little Christmas card with a stamp by Imaginisce and I loved this sketch from Taylored Expressions I had to try it!

 

The sentiment is from the 'Winter Wishes' stamp set by Scrappy Mom's stamps. I thought it went perfectly with the cute little bear!

 

I also added a spritz of glimmer mist for some shine! All of the tags are cut from the Once a Upon a Princess cartridge. That's it for today...also make sure to mark your calendars for the Banner Blog Hop this Saturday! There is going to be tons of inspiration and lots of blog candy!

 

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Hello World!..

I have one more card to share today and then I will be off BBQ-ing with friends! :) I wanted to enter this into Jenny's Challenge ( Wee Memories), this week she's letting us do a 'free for all' so we can basically enter in anything we want! So I was super excited to see that because I just finished this super cute baby card with a new stamp set I got from Michael's. I had been eyeing these stamps for awhile and  this week they went on sale (score!)....

I loooove this turtle! I colored him in with my colored pencils...

I'm really considering investing in some Prisma colored pencils, but boy are the pricey! I will have to just settle for my crayola pencils for now! lol ;p

Well there you have it! Thanks for taking a peek!

Baby Turtle Card

Hi everyone! I'm so glad it's Saturday! I have a cute little baby card to share with you all today. I used a new set of stamps I got from M's the other day...

Isn't that turtle the cutest!?

The was super easy to make...I like easy! :)  TFL!

Lots of little clouds and bday Owl.....

Hi everyone! I just finished this card and can't get over how much I loove it! :) I've been practicing more with my stamps and I'm getting a lil better at  'em. I think eventually I might splurge and get me some copics! But for now, I'll stick with my colored pencils! ...so right now I am totally loving clouds, anything with clouds on it, I love...so I found this super cute Hero Arts stamp and Michael's the other day and I had to snag it! I don't have many wooden stamps (my collection is mostly acrylics) so this one is special!
So what I did for this card was....I embossed the cloud background with clear embossing powder..

Then I stamped the owl, hat and balloon and use pop dots to adhere...

Stamped the sentiment, added some twine (which I'm loving..I found that stuff in the jewelry section at M's) and added a border.

So what do ya think? Cute??? :) TFL!

Hello Princess!

Hi again! I got the cutest stamp set from Micheal's the other day. It has this lil princess with a bunch of cute sentiments that I think will work perfect with the Once Upon a Princess cart. The brand is Recollections...I just had to play with them, so this is what I came up with! I've mentioned before that I'm not that great at coloring, so I'm still learning! :p

Isn't she cute with blue hair!

I did a bit of faux stitching along the edge and I wanted to enter this into Jenny's challenge #10, which is -stitching-
Well thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!

Mushrooms and a Turtle..

Hi everyone! Yesterday I was sitting in my craft room trying to come up with something new. I kinda felt like I was having a brain fart..lol..you know when you want to make something but just don't know what. So I was pulling out my stamps, my chalks, markers and before I knew it my desk was a mess. I had to flip through some books and magazines for some inspiration and I dug in my scrap bin and found this tiny piece of kraft paper..so here is what I came up with...

Cute! I got lucky at Micheal's the other day and snagged some Hero Arts sentiment stamps for 5 bucks!

I definitely need to practice more on my coloring and all that, but I'm starting out. Hope you like it! :)

Baby Onesies..so cute!

Hello everyone! I just received some blog candy I won from Jenny at Wee Memories. I got 2 sets of acrylic stamps and some ribbon...I just looove the stamps, there are all baby themed and perfect! Thanks Jenny! :)  The little onesie is so adorable I had to make something right away, lucky for me we have a cousin with a baby on the way, so I made this one for her.

I used pop dots for the white onesies. It was pretty simple, but cute! TFL!

Two New Cards...

Hi there! I hope you all had a great Easter! We threw our first party at our new home...we had a full house, it was a great time, then we all got freaked out because there was a huge earthquake! It lasted about a minute and it was pretty scary, but nothing got damaged and no one was hurt, thank God! It's crazy how we felt it though, b/c it was  in Mexico and we are miles and miles away! Well hopefully there wont be any more any time soon!
So onto the cards!...this one I made for my husband's bday..I found this playing card lying around in my scrap-junk-pile and I thought he would like the sentiment on it (and he did!)...I also embossed the 'enjoy the journey' with my distressing powder.It's always so hard to make those 'man' cards, but I think I did an ok job.

And this card was made for a girlfriend who just got married. I used the Sweethearts cart. for the bride and groom, added some pearls and ribbon. I have about 4 more weddings to go to this year so I need to make a few more of these..TFL!

Little Baby Bunny

Here's another 'lifted' card, I think it came out so cute. I just stamped the bunny, flowers and hearts and pop dot them. I used a corner punch and some ribbon....Does anyone have a fav type of  ribbon? I need upgrade my stash...anywho, I also stamped the orange polka dots and did a lil faux stitching..tfl!

Thank You-Embossing

Happy Sunday everyone! It's such a nice day here in sunny California..I'm excited cuz I a friend of mine is doing my hair today..I can't wait, it's been awhile since I changed it, so it's about time (especially since I am a hairstylist..lol!) So to thank her I made this quick thank you card...I scraplifted it from one of my fav card magazines. I just heat embossed the big flower and added some ribbon, faux stitchin and the border and voila! TFL!...I have more cards coming...

Adorable Onesies-And Some Great News!

Hi there! So here is a super cute card I made last night with some of my clear stamps. I made it for a girl at the salon I work at who is expecting a baby girl in May. I'm soooo excited for her! I got my inspiration from THIS video..check it out..this girl has AMAZING ideas! I get a lot of my inspiration from her! So with this card I pop dot a few of the onseies and heat embossed the 'adorable'...of course I used my kraft again (love it!). Hope you like it!

This house is amazing and it has plenty of room to grow and a big yard for our dog...I can't wait to move in! :) :) :) :) So I am going to be doing lots of packing and moving this week so I will be MIA for a while :( but I will be back as soon as we get things settled.

Love Birds

Hi there, so I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I am kinda a newbie to the stamping world. So here's a little something I made while I was just playin around with some clear stamps. I did use water color pencils for some color and then used blue glitter for the birdies. I cut out the hearts, butterfly, and clouds and popped them. And the pretty pink flower I made using the Paisley cart, I just layered it 3 times and inked the edges. Hope you like it..tfl!

Hugs & Kisses

I got some new Valentines stamps at JoAnns yesterday and I couldn't wait to try them out! I love this little teddy bear...so this was pretty simple, I just used punches for the circle & the scallop circle, inked both, added some dots w/my white gel pen and pop dots. Then stamped the sentiment w/red stazon ink and added the heart border. TFL!!

Love Squares

Here's another Vday -stamped- card. I punched the scalloped squares then stamped each w/versa mark & heat embossed w/red...I really like how they came out! Then I did some inking for an aged look and faux stitching and then added a heart border punch.This was a fun one to make..hope you like it...TFL!

Smile

Happy Wednesday! Today I made another stamped card (I'm finally putting my clear stamps to good use!)..This one is for 3 different challenges...the first one is for the Paper Cutz Challenge #25 (to use a farm animal stamp). The second challenge is the sketch from Mojo Monday(123), and the third is from The Pink Elephant chalenge #51 (to use polka dots, pink and a bow). So first I stamped the sheep on white card stock then again on hot pink and layered it onto the white. I drew on some polka dots and added stickles for some bling and gave her a little white bow. I did some faux stitching, and used the cuttlebug to emboss the vellum. The other images are also stamped, cut out, pop dotted and I used markers to color in. Thanks so much for taking a look!
