With Sympathy

Another card that I never seem to have enough of unfortunately is Sympathy cards.  I also often get requests from people wanting to buy sympathy cards so I needed to make some of those as well.  Here is the one I came up with today:

This largely inspired by a blog I read but I honestly don't know who's it was - I'm so sorry!
The main image is from Stampendous and the sentiment is by PTI.  I used a cb folder I've had forever and have never used, a MS border punch and some ac ribbon.  There are aqua micro beads on the centers of the flowers as well!
Go hug someone you love! Pin It

3 More Christmas Cards to Go

Here is the 3rd to last Christmasy card!

This is a Stampendous stamp I've had for quite some time.  I embossed it in gold on Vanilla c/s and then cut  it out.  This card is so much prettier IRL then it looks in the pic.  The main card base is Vanilla followed by a beautiful gold shimmery layer, another vanilla layer and finally, a vanilla, snowflake flocked vellum.  It looks so rich and pretty.  I added clear swarovski crystals to the ornament to make it sparkle as well!  Very festive!!  Are you all enjoying your Christmas gifts?  I know I'm a little late, but I'd love to hear what you all recieved!

On the 9th Day of Christmas...

I pulled out this Stampendous stamp I've had forevah!

This pic does not do the card justice.  I just couldnt' get a good shot - hmph!  The top layer of the card is a vellum with flocked snowflakes.  It is so pretty irl.  The ornament is embossed in gold and embellished with crystals! Pin It

Girly Girl

I decided to play along with the limited supply challenge over at SCS the other day and the challenge was to make a Girly Girl card with no DP - GASP - was I up for it, could I really do it - YIKES!!!
I pulled out this stamp that I bought years ago and have never used.  Here's what I came up with:

This color and sketc was one that I had saved on my computer but I'm not sure who's it was - sorry.  I also used my new victorian cuttlebug folder - LOVE IT!!
That's all for today, tell one of your girlfriends how much you appreciate her! Pin It

Fluffy Christmas

Okay the traditional christmas colors are not my favorite but this little stamp was just crying out to be flocked!!!  I put flocking on the tree and the kitty.  I was so tickled with how the tree turned out - now if they'd just come out with a nicer color green!  The balls on the tree are crystal effects with red glitter on top!

2 New Cards

I have 2 new cards to show you today.  The first one was made by my 4 year old for his little brother's birthday this coming Sunday.  He picked the colors, the dp, the stamp and the ribbon and its placement.  He colored it all himself with SU markers.  All I did was help with the adhesive and tie the ribbon.  Pretty good for a 4 year old hey?

This next card I made last night with this little elf stamp

Bees to You

Okay, so it's no one's birthday around here, but I had to play with these new little bees I got.  I found this crate paper from the spring collection and thought it would look cute with this little guy!  I used prismacolor pencils and gamsol to color the image and put stickles on his antennas, wings and a little on the gifts.  I put diamond glaze on the balloon!  Thanks for looking and if it is your birthday today - Happy Bee- Day to you!
