gumball cards

I just loved making these cute little cards. They are so colorful. Only thing is that there is not much room to write a message. It's good for a quick message to someone.

I CASE'd (copied) this card from this card maker Scrap Bitz. Her cards are so pretty. Check out her etsy shop, too.

PTI floral card and Basic Grey candy

I like the color combination of this card. I used the berry sorbet ink, chocolate, landscape green, all from Papertrey Ink. Cardstock is white, berry sorbet, chocolate from Papertrey Ink. Stamp set is from Floral Frenzy from Papertrey Ink.

I just want to let anyone who is interested know that the Basic Grey challenge blog has a new look, and they are giving away some blog candy. I love Basic Grey's paper collections. I just saw a sneak peak at their Christmas and Holiday paper..I'll be getting some of that.

Just loved it card

I am trying to use different patterns of paper together on one card. This one turned out colorful. It looks better in real life! I stayed up too late working on some cards...I sure hope I get quicker.

Howdy Partner Baby Boy

Thanks to Girlville's urging and Page and 30 Something and Punchy and Shopper Girl and Magnolia Sun, I now have an etsy shop. I will post the link whenever I figure out how to do that! Girlville came up with the name of the shop. Shopper Girl is fixing it up so that it looks pretty. It's not done yet, so I'll post as soon as it is.

Here is a card that I made for a lady at the husband's workplace.

I like to decorate the inside of the card sometimes...not all the time.

Cute little baby boy card. And just change the colors and you have a girl card.

CPS 125 No Tricks Just Treats

This week's CPS 125 challenge is brought to us by JustRite Stamps. I have several of their stamp sets. They are so wonderful to make party favors or wedding favors. This challenge was fun to put the Halloween stamp No Tricks Just Treats to work.

Aunt Sue colored this image and I put the card together.


It's been a while since I posted! I want to give a hello shout-out to my friend in Australia Cards that Care. She is updating more often. She has had a tough week with the death of a good friend. I'm thinking of you, D.

I also won some blog candy from Mama Dini's Stamperia. I love that blog name. She and her husband do mission work in Indonesia.

Everybody loves Disney

I made this card for a friend who was going to DisneyLand...but ended up not going to DisneyLand...but that's okay. She loves Disney anyway and will get to DisneyWorld soon, I'm sure.

I CASE'd this card from this lady. I love the name of her blog. When I saw her card, I just knew that I had to have that stamp set and I had to be able to make some Disney cards. I just don't have the vision to put it all together so it helps to CASE...

CASE means "copy and share everything." That's a stamping term.

I think this is my favorite card I've made so far.


Here is inside of the card.

And the front of the card.


Paper: Solid colors from Papertrey Ink
Stamps: EK Success
Inks: Papertrey Ink
Designer paper used on inside...Can't remember who makes that.
Used Cuttlebug dies to cut out scalloped pieces. Used EK Success punch to punch circles. Copic markers to color Disney images.

CPS 119 Sweet Baby

Well, after having surgery in mid May and quite an ordeal since March, I final made a card! I have a couple of friends who are having babies at the end of the summer, so I decided to make a baby card. This card fits the criteria for the CPS sketch 119 this week.




The cardstock is Spring Rain and Lemon Tart from Papertrey Ink and the patterned paper is from some I bought a while back and don't know who is the maker. I used a Cuttlebug folder on the Lemon Tart paper. Spring Rain ribbon. I used a EK Success punch to punch out the ducks and put Liquid Applique on them and let them dry overnight and then put the heat gun on them the next day. Then colored them with Copic markers. Used the Marvey scalloped oval punches in super and mega size and stamped the sentiment with Mixed Messages stamp from Papertrey Ink with True Black ink from Papertrey, too.
