Holly Jolly

Hello everyone! Please forgive the look of my blog. It is temporarily under construction. The card I have for you today was made using the Artiste and Art Philosophy cartridges. I used some old tags from my stash for the stars. The gingerbread man and the sentiments outside and in are from Stampin' Up. My Dad is back in the hospital so I will make this short and sweet. We will most likely be spending another Christmas there with him. This will be my last post for the year and I thank each and every one of you for sticking with me this long. As always "Thanks for peeking!" I just wanted to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Keep Calm

Hey Ya'll! Keeping calm is what I'm trying to do... Only a little over a week before my surgery! This card was made for my Grandson. I found this cute little stamp at JoAnn's and just had to use it right away. My Grandson is turning 16 in Feb. so no more little boy cutesie for him! I decided to do a pop-up and make him the star of his day. I added some presents and lots of glitter to the arrows and the stars. The ribbon and the large star on the front came from my stash and the "confetti" was cut buy hand. I have one more "man" card to share in the next few days and then some Valentines which I started on last week. Thanks for looking!

Supplies- Close To My Heart: Arrows and Stars- Art Philosophy, Papertrey Ink: "Oh My Stars" sentiment, Studio 112: "Keep Calm" sentiment, Inside sentiment: CTMH,"Card Chatter- Birthday", "Your a Star" sentiment: Hot Off The Press, Birthday candle on inside: Birthday Bash

Last Days of Summer

Hello everyone! I can't believe that Summer is sliping away so quickly here in the Deep South! It's unusually cool for this time of year here in my neck of the woods. Anyway, I have two cards to show you today! It appears that both of these were made while I was in my "pink" phase.The first was made using using scraps from my table. The only things new are the limb and the worm. Everything revolves around the flowers that were made one day when I was just playing to see what I could come up with. The second card was done cut with the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge, and the label from Stampin' Up. Enjoy, and thanks for peeking!

Supplies: 1st card- Flowers,Sizzix Originals die "Flower Layers", Limb and the worm, Live Simply Cartridge. 2nd card- Flowers, flourish, card and mat, Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge, Label, Stampin Up, Four Frames Decorative Label Punch.

Two Cards

Hello everyone! I recently purchased some items from Close To My Heart,and when I saw how beautiful this paper was I couldn't wait to make a card with it. Well, I ended up making two cards with the one sheet I picked out! This first one is done with one corner of the front side of the paper. I used a punch for the flower, the leaves, and the card the sentiment is on. The paper the flower is made from is a paper roll by Martha Stewart, and I inked up the petals and sprayed it with some shimmer. Both of these cards will most definitely have to be hand delivered in a special handmade box since the flowers are a bit "puffy".

Recipe-
Paper and card: CTMH, Florentine collection
Rolled flower: EK Success punch
Sentiment: CTMH, 4 My Friend stamp set
Leaves: Martha Stewart Punch and Stamp punch


This second card is done with the backside of the same piece of paper, and I did a lighter and brighter effect with this one! The stem of the flower is a border stamp that I curved and fussy cut. I used Art Philosophy for the sentiment cut, and punches for the flower and leaves. I stamped and punched the flower five times, curled the leaves, and added deminsionals between three of the layers, added a brad from my stash, and sprayed it with glimmer. I love the way they both turned out, and only have four more patterns to go! Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think!
