Fun Birthday Card

Hi there!  This is a fun card using different individual stamps from three awesome stamp sets:

Way To Go Stamp Set for the cute banners.
Birthday Sparkles Stamp Set for the Birthday Greeting.
Happy For You Stamp Set for the balloons. 

I used a number of pretty stamp pad colors:

Emerald, Pansy, Tangerine, Blossom and Raspberry for the banners.  I also used the Pansy and Tangerine pigment inks from the  Adventure Mini Pigment Inks Set  for the balloons.  I  used the Clear Embossing Powder along with the pigment ink on the balloons to make them shine.

I used the  Stitch Guide along with the Foam Mat to protect my work surface to make the stitching around the card.

Finished the card by adding a few Bitty Sparkles to  make it even more festive! 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a awesome day!

Valentine Card

Hello!

I am back!  I have been making loads of cards lately but I have taken a break from taking pictures and posting.  So here I am again with the first card of 2017!  

This card is using the  Adore You Stamp Set from Close To My Heart.   This set is a stamp of the month set available for only the month of January!  



I used the cute dotted Kraft paper from the Rustic Home Paper Packet. I used the Small Round Waterbrush to pick up the colors from the Ruby, Sapphire, Fern and Saffron Stamp pads.  I also used a piece of Ruby Cardstock that I ran through the Confetti Embossing Folder.  Because this cardstock is white core I sanded the surface to make the dots pop!

Thats for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!  Hugs!

Thankful Card

I know everyone is busy posting some beautiful Christmas cards and I love each of them but for today's card I am using the cute Thankful For You Stamp Set and Thin Cuts Bundle.  This set include 19 stamps and 9 metal dies!  It is only available until the end of December. It is not a Christmas card but one that can be used for many different seasons and who knows I might need to send a Thankful card to someone special!

I also used the Swan Lake Paper Packet that goes with the stamp set. 

I also used the the Adhesive Backed Coral Shimmer Trim.

Have a great evening and check back at another time to see more of my creations!

Hugs to all!

Joy Christmas Card

For this card I am showcasing the Perfectly Pine Stamp Set and the Mini Joy Stamp Set.

I am also using the beautiful Oh Deer Paper Packet.   

For the pine cones I used the Cocoa Exclusive Stamp Pad and the Chocolate Exclusive Stamp Pad.  For the branches I used the Fern Exclusive Stamp Pad.  

After stamping the pine cones, I stamped over the top of the stamped image with the Versamark Ink Pad and then sprinkled the Clear Superfine Embossing Powder over the top.  I then heat set it. This makes the pine cones shiny.  I did the same with the Joy stamp.  Cut out the pine cones by hand. 

I sponged all the edges of the papers with cocoa ink.  I used the White and Gold Twine over the top of the pine cones.
FYI the fold for this card is at the top.  Simple but elegant card to share.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Pretty Snowflake Card

Hello!
For today's card I started out by using 
Sea Glass Cardstock and embossing it with the Snowflake Embossing Folder. 

I then took out some pretty White Glitter Cardstock and cut out the beautiful snowflakes using the Thin Cuts Snowflakes. 

Then I took the cute little Merry Christmas Stamp Set and the Sea Glass Mini Pigment Ink Pad and stamped on a piece of white cardstock.  I then used Superfine Clear Embossing Powder over the stamped image to make it shine.  I then sponged the edges of the white cardstock  and the embossed Sea Glass cardstock with the Sea Glass Exclusive Ink Pad.  I took the white cardstock and bordered it with the Sea Glass Glitter Paper.  Put the card together and then finished by adding some more bling to the middle of the snowflakes with Clear Sparkles.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  Hugs!

Poinsettia Christmas Card 2016

For today's card I am showcasing the 
Pretty Poinsettia Stamp Set.  You can cut these flowers out by hand or you can use the Cricut Flower Market Cartridge to cut the images out. 

I stamped the flowers with Cranberry Exclusive Ink Pad.  I colored in the leaves with the Shinhan Sap Green Marker.  I also cut one of the petals out of the fun Red Glitter Paper to make it pop a bit. I also used the red glitter paper on side of the card. I finished the flowers with a Red Enamel Gem. 

I took a piece of white card stock and embossed it with the Confetti Stars Embossing Folder and also using the Square Diffuser to leave a smooth area to stamp my sentiment.   I bordered that paper with a piece of Cranberry Cardstock.  Put it all together and you are done!  Thanks for dropping by and seeing my creations. Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Two All Occasion Happy Cards

Today I am showcasing two cards with the same pattern but with different papers and colors.  

For this card I used the Enchantment Fundamental Paper Packet for the background and for under the circle.
For the "happy" I used the Happy Thin Cuts Die and cut it out of the same paper packet. 

I embossed the circle with the Wood Slats Embossing Folder as well as some of leaves. I cut out the leaves, stems and acorns using the New Cricut Flower Market Cartridge.

I on purpose left the sentiment off the card. With the word happy you could add any type of sentiment that you want such as:
Happy Day, Happy birthday, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Retirement, Happy For You  etc.  


This card is the same pattern as above but on this card I used the Adventure Fundamental Paper Packet.  

I used the Shower Flowers Stamp Set.  
I used the Raspberry Stamp Pad, Willow Stamp Pad, Lemon Stamp Pad and the Blossom Stamp Pad. 

Like above I used the thin cuts to cut out the Happy message. 

Finished the card with some cute Bitty Sparkles.  

Hope you enjoyed stopping by!  Have a great day!  Hugs!
