I haven't been posting much lately and that's because I haven't really been creating a whole lot. Not sure why. I guess its just as time permits. (my two little ones don't always nap at the same time and my daughter seems to be getting up earlier and earlier in the morning.) Oh well, I wouldn't have it any other way except maybe to spend ALL DAY in my studio......I remember the days before marriage and children when I could create all day if I wanted to....ahhhh memories. Anyway, I created this little set from the set I won for World Card Making Day at Nicole Heady's blog...Thank you PTI awesome set and I am soo happy to have it as part of my collection. I just need to find a little more time to create with it. Have a great day.

Husband's Birthday

I created this masculine birthday card with images from, Men of Life stamp set by Paper Trey Ink. The boat is stamped in Pure Poppy and Burnt Umber and cut out and mounted on foam squares for a little dimension. I created the top patterned strip with the border stamp included in the set and I just stamped it in several colours keeping in mind my colour scheme. I added a decorative touch by punching out some 5 point stars in dark blue and adding them to the card for a little decorative details. Have a great day.

Tree Trio Card

 I really liked how this one turned out. I embossed a top and bottom border with my swiss dots embossing folder and I stamped the tree bases (Everday Button Bits) in Noir black ink. I randomly cut three triangles from some patterened papers (DCWV) and attached them with dimensional adhesive. Sentiment is stamped in Noir Black ink and is from Take a Bough set. Enjoy the weekend.

Snowflake Holiday Cards

Now that the holiday season is upon us I have been making Holiday Cards to sell in my shop. What's a holiday card without some rhinestones and glitter? I added two snowflakes to these cards in white which I added a little red rhinestone to the center and some glitter down the branches of each snowflake. The snowflakes are attached individually with dimensional adhesive. The paper (which I think is just fabulous..Love it) is by DCWV.  Have a great day.
 

Little Snowflake Notes

Today I thought I would show you these little snowflake cards that I made. They can be found in my shop. They are a folded 3x3 card with handmade matching envelopes. I used this fab red patterned paper and accented with a scallope circle embellishment. I stamped a dotted border on the tag and added a light blue snowflake which I accented with a tiny brown rhinestone and some glitter. I stamped the sentiment in dark brown ink and attached the scalloped circle with dimensional adhesive. I then handmade the matching white envelopes and added a little blue snowflake to carry the cards design over to the envelope. Enjoy your day.

Holiday Card Set

I made this set of holiday cards yesterday. I really love the bright green paper and thought it would make a nice Christmas card. As always, I added a punched border in white and added a dimensional scalloped tag. The holly leaves and berries were accented with a little ink to give them some dimension.  I finished the tag off with a dotted border and a piece of pretty ribbon. Inside is stamped to match.
 
 
 

Happy Happy Halloween!

I guess I should have a Halloween card to share but I rarely make Halloween cards so unfortunately, this card will have to do. This card was easy to create because I used some left overs from a scrapbook page I had finished. I just use the same colours and elements to finish the card. Paper is from GCD Studios and I used a circle nestabilties for the scalloped element. Heart is a Fiskars punch and I used PTI"s Borders and Corners Circle stamp set for the dotted circular frame and sentiment is from Heartfelt Basics. I wish you all a safe and happy halloween. My two year old daughter will be dressing up as Thomas the Tank Engine (I tried to get her to choose a princess costumer but it didn't happen! On the bright side my little guy will be able to wear the Thomas costume when he's bigger!)
 

A Little Birdie

For this card I embossed the background with a Qk folder. The birds and vines are from some Doodlebug stickers I received and I paired it up with a piece of patterned paper by K & Co. I made a decorative edge with an EK border punch and I used my favourite little label in purple to stamp the sentiment on (Bird of a Feather set, PTI). Have a great day.

Little Baby Giraffe Card

This is one of the cards that made it into the recycling bin yesterday morning. It's too bad I don't have enough supplies to make another one becuase I am going to a baby shower this weekend and the sex of the baby isn't known so this would have made a great neutral baby card. Stickers on this card are from Doodlebug Design and the patterned paper is by K & Company. I stamped the sentiment (Mega Mixed Messages, PTI) onto my fasvourite little label by Quickutz. You can't tell in the photo but I went and added glitter to the giraffe, flowers, bird and label for a subtle glittery effect, (so pretty.) Have a great day.
  

Sweet Little Thank You

When I created this card, I started first with the floral images from Piece of Cake and created the blue patterned strip. Next I used a piece of green polka dot patterned paper (which was actually headed for the recycling bin). I pulled out my favourite little label and continued the floral design and added a little thank you sentiment which I attached to my card base with foam squares. (This card has now gone into the recycling bin along with a whole bunch of others. As I wrote this post, my two year old knocked over my coffee and ruined ALL of the cards I've made in the last week.aaaggghhhh!) Even though I was mad, she was really cute and kept saying I'm Sorry. I let her back in my studio and she is now colouring happily at my desk beside me. Have a great day and remember not to sweat the small stuff...)
