Bumble Bee

Hey everyone! I thought I would drop in and show you this card I made on a whim with a new embossing folder that I had not used. I used Kraft Core paper for the mat and a piece of the cut away part for the label. Some blinged up paper flowers and a die cut bee with flocking and bead completed the card. Thanks for takin' a look!



 
Supplies- Paper: Tim Holtz Kraft Core "Nostalgic" collection, Embossing folder: T.H. "Honeycomb" Texture Fade, Sentiment: CTMH "pun Fun" Stamp, Bling and flocking: Martha Stewart, Bee: Sizzlit "Bee #4", I used Liquid Glass in some of the combs to mimic honey.

Snapped!

Hey everyone! I'm back today to show you another creation using some of my purged scraps and embellishments! Heh heh! I might be doing this for a while what with all the doctor's and dentist's bills I have aquired lately! Anyhoo, I 've seen alot of cards like this one out there in blog land, but this is my version. The sentiment is a rub-on I bought at Big Lots of all places when they still had a good assortment of scrapbooking supplies, and the only " new" thing on the card is the picture of the little girl. I hope you enjoy looking at my creations, and I want you to know how much I appreciate each and every comment I receive from all of you! You don't know how much they brighten my day!! Thanks for peeking!

Supplies-  Girl picture: Spellbinders ephemera papers, Camera: Amy Tangerine, Tim Holtz film Strip Ribbon: Ideaology line, Outside sentiment: Ki Memories "Celebrate", Inside sentiment: Close To My Heart "Card Chatter-Birthday".

Blue

Hey Ya'll!  Last week my blog friend Tracey over athttp://trace-elementz.blogspot.com/  commented on how she loved the color blue and I agreed that it was one of my favorites also. I  made this card a couple of weeks ago with this denim flower that I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Since I am still purging my supplies, I used a Sizzix die I hadn't used before, some paper left over from Valentines, a stamp set I had never used and some old vintage seam binding. I also did a little piercing on the doilies. I thought it turned out pretty with all the different shades of blue and was going to enter it in the challenge at the Shabby Tea Room last week , but found out you had to add kraft and a sentiment to the card. Well, try as I might, I just could not incorporate any kraft onto this card. It just didn't look right with all the pastel blues, so here I am sharing with you! I hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking!

   Supplies- Doily paper: S.U.," More Amore",Denim Flower: Bead Design "In Bloom", Doilies: S.U. Sizzlits " Delicate Doilies", Butterfly stamp: Seven Gypsies 4 pc. set, Pale blue vintage seam binding.

Easter

Hello everyone! I can't believe that Easter is almost here! The week went so fast! I finished up my therapy on my shoulder this week and feel like it is pretty much back to normal except for being sore from working it so much. Anyway I thought I would post this card and wish everyone a Happy Easter! Stampin' Up has a stamp with the bird's nest on a limb with eggs in it, so that was my inspiration. I used a Tim Holtz die some basket filler for the nest and some faceted buttons for the eggs. The tips of the branches have  a little bit of green chalk on them although you can't see it in the picture. The background was embossed with two Cuttlebug folders. I also made a "special" box for this card since it is a little on the "fat side". I hope you enjoy and thanks for peeking!

Supplies- Tim Holtz: Alterations die "Bird Branch", Cuttlebug: 'Divine Swirl" and "Daisys" embossing folders, Stampin' Up: Modern label punch, Studio G: Sentiment

It is made with the Oval Framelits collection, the Square Lattice Folder and the Pop-Up Posies kit in the Spring Mini. I added the grass and the little yellow flower when I got home. Isn't it cute!! Hope you enjoy!

Egg Day

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a very "lucky' day this past Sunday, and you all found you pot of gold or at least your lucky charm! We celebrated here with beautiful Spring weather and temps in the 80's. I'm sure there will be a cold snap before Easter and we will have to put away the shorts and flip flops for another week or so then it will be almost like summer again! I made another tag in a bag with some new bags from CTMH that I purchased last month. This one is for Easter and turned out so cute that I am thinking of making more to put in some of the neighborhood kid's baskets. I took some of these small "kits" to my friend Gale's house last week and we all made one . The punch rabbit was lifted from one that my Stampin' Up demonstrator showed us how to do last year. The only difference is that I made a fluffy bunny with a scalloped circle instead of using a plain oval for his body.I got this idea from Michelle over at http://michellewooderson.blogspot.com/. She made a jar tag that was just too cute not to use! I hope you all are ready for Easter which is fast approching! Oh' and spring break for the kids too! Hopefully we won't all go nuts before they return to school! Thanks for looking!

      Supplies: Jar- Inkadinkadoo, Bag- CTMH, My Creations Paper Pouch(small), Bunny stamp- Studio G, Flower stamp- CTMH, "A Garden Grass- Martha Stewart punch(leftovers).
