Spook.tacular Day

Another Halloween card to share with you today. This one uses the ghost from Stamps of Life Spooky 2 Scare set. I heat embossed the ghost on vellum paper and added some googly eyes.

Thanks for stopping.

The {Stamps} of Life: thanks2you

Today I have a couple of cards made with the Thanks2You set from The {Stamps} of Life by Stephanie Bernard. For the first one I used an old rub on from the DCWV Rockstar collection. I gave my crop-o-dile a good workout setting the eyelets around the oval nestie piece and mounted it on a background of My Mind's Eye papers. I love the girly look of this one.

The second card is designer paper free. I know . . . hard to believe I made a card without designer paper. I stamped the flowers on white cardstock and added some Old Paper Distress Ink to the edges. For the finishing touches I added some glitter to the pink flowers by using a glue pen and 3 pink gemstones.

I hope you're having a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Stamping!

More Easter

Are you ready for another Easter card? I hope so 'cause I inked up my eggs4Easter set again. This time I decided to use the chick stamp but instead of just coloring the chicks in with a solid color I used the decorated egg stamps to fill in the bodies of the chicks. What do you think?

I used my Twinklette markers to add flower centers on the guava chick and strips and dots on the caribbean chick. I also masked off the caribbean chicks body so I could stamp short legs.

Thanks so much for stopping! I hope you're having a wonderful week. Happy Stamping!

Happy Superbowl Sunday!

Instead of sharing a football themed card with you today I'm going to jump ahead to Easter and show you the little card I just finished. My eggs4Easter set from The Stamps of Life by Stephanie Barnard arrived yesterday and so last night when I couldn't sleep I crept to my craftroom and starting stamping.

This was a fun card to put together. I knew I wanted to put the eggs in a basket so I cut strips of kraft cardstock and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Next I created a weave pattern with the strips and placed them in a circle Nestabilites and ran it through my cuttlebug. To create the basket handle I ran a piece of kraft through my cuttlebug with two Nestabilties circles using just the strip between to two dies.

I spent most of the afternoon yesterday creating paper flowers like the one of this card. I keep seeing them on other people's cards so I decided to try making them. It was a wonderful project to do while watching a movie with my DH. I now have a glass canister full of assorted colors of paper flowers with button centers.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I'm planning to watch the Superbowl later to see the commercials. Since we're Packer fans I can watch more for the commercials than for the game. Happy Stamping!
