Oh no, not another pair of shoes?

I really do make many other things!  But, I keep getting asked to make Baby Shoes!  I am going to be making cards for another local store called The Cutting Garden, and this is the first thing I was asked to make.  I will write more about The Cutting Garden this afternoon! 

 

The flourishes used on the card and shoes are from Quietfire Design.  The dots on the inside of the shoes are done with the Polka Dots background from SU.  Sweet Pea is from Paperbag Studios.  Baby is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  I used Basic Grey Paper and tons of Distress Inks. 

Thank you for stopping by today, I really appreciate you including me in your day!

Dimensional Card Swap

We have a group of ladies locally that get together once and month to stamp.  We have a card swap each month as well, and the theme for June was dimension.  This had me stumped, although I have no idea why! lol  Anyway, I just bought a new machine, a Silhouette die cutting machine, and decided to use it.  The butterfly on this card is a free file from Quickutz.  It cuts out 2 butterflies, one for the base and one with the detail cut out.  I just added some stickles to give it a bit of bling.  The flourish stamp is from Inkadinkado, the sentiment is from Impression Obsession, and both are stamed with Vivid Dye ink in Coffee Brown. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today,

Live the Life you’ve Imagined

Good Morning,

Last night I was playing around in my stamp room and decided to pull out my alcohol inks and new Tim Holtz stamps.  I had forgotten how much fun it is to play with the alcohol inks! 

Here are the results of playtime! lol

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

Sweet Summer Days

Well, I don’t know about you, but I am really looking forward to the summer.  Even though I am not a big fan of the heat, I love spending the evenings outside, walking on the boardwalk, the outside entertainment, the musis…ahhh…and we can’t forget the BBQ’s!

I decided to get the summer theme going and created 2 cards using Impression Obsession stamps.

Now doesn’t this watermelon drink look delicious?  Yummm!  I used Copic Markers to colour the image, cut out a couple of the hearts, and popped them up on glue dots.  I used the Spica glitter pen on the umbrella, and added Basic Grey rhinestones for the little berries.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

 

One of my favorite summer fruits is Strawberries.  I used a bigger stamp and cut out 3 strawberries.  Coloured them with Copic markers and then put Glossy Accents on them to make them look more real.  When that was dry I put more Glossy Accents on the bottoms of the strawberries and dipped them in glitter, trying to achieve the look of sugar, it looks better in person! lol  I can’t take any credit for the card though, as I saw it on Penny’s blog and pretty much cased it, of course with a few little changes.  Thank you for the inspiration Penny.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by!

Wow, it’s been awhile!

I can’t believe it’s been that long since I last posted!  I am not even going to make any excuses, I just took a little break from stamping, my muse took off on my for a while.  Anyway, I am back now.

This is the birthday card I made for my great friend Val!  It was Val’s party this evening, I stopped out long enough to say Happy Birthday and give her this card! lol…I am not much into crowds, I get right freaked out!

The main image is from Stampsmith.  Marilyn is stamped with Ancient Page Chocolate Brown, then coloured in using a water colouring brush and tombow markers.  I then used Tim Holtz Distress inks to make it look older.  The beautiful flourish is from Inkadinkado.  The sentiment is from SU.  The crochet flower is from April, who is making them for me!  They are just adorable, thank you April!  Pearls are from Kaiser Craft.

Thank you for stopping by tonight.  I hope you are all having a beautiful weekend!
