Happy Birthday to a Special Person

Today I want to share a Birthday card that I made for my sister.  Her Birthday was yesterday, the 6th, but I was actually traveling to her house and couldn't post the card until I gave it to her.  

The stamped image is another selection from Amuse Studio, Eat Cake Collection.

I did a resist technique by stamping embossed white on white paper and used Tim Holtz Distress inks to add color.  Layering several papers and using a Spellbinders Die to add the frilly edge.  A little bling and ribbon.

There may be a little surprise inside????

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday Jo! Love you.

Super Quick Card Idea

I want to share a really super quick card idea that literally took me 7 minutes.

I covered a card front with some patterned paper then placed strips of washi tape on the front left corner.

I then stamped a sentiment and layered on additional cardstock.  A little ribbon and a metal stud.

Stamp is from Amuse Studio - charming gardeners

So Easy.

Thanks for Stopping by.

NEW Greetings challenge over at The Outlawz

It's a New Greetings Challenge at The Outlawz and I would Love to share my DT entry.

The image is from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

and this is 'Morris and Mildred'.

This weeks challenge is to make a card for a 'Happy Anniversary" and you must use pearls, rings, ribbon in your design.  Also don't forget the Sentiment.

Age, What is Age?

There are days that this is so true and then sometimes I really feel my age.

This featured stamp is from Amuse Studio - Eat Cake set.

I love the chalk board lettering, which is all the rage right now.  I stamped white on dark brown and layered on several patterned papers.

Adding a couple of fun brads and twine as an accents.

Have a Blessed Sunday.

Summer Fun Mini Cards

Well today is the final day of my Mini Card Series.  I purchased the kits from Archivers and I believe they are a GREAT value.  You get so much in the kit, enough to make multiple cards, usually embellishments or stickles type of thing, a set of stamps and a 6 X 6 paper pad.  You have so much left over to use for more cards or other projects, plus you always have the stamp set.

So here's today's feature....

This set has something for all occasions and the sentiments alone are fantastic.

Once again these are great thank-you cards, package tags, or special invites.

I hope you have enjoyed this series, and if so leave me a comment.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Everyday Occasions Mini Cards

Day three of the Mini Card series features some of those fabulous Tim Holtz blueprint stamps.  These are the mini version of the image, I'm not sure if they come in the larger size.  I like the smaller image for card making because it is just more versatile.

These are the three mini cards I made from the Archivers package.  It came with card stock, 6 X 6 paper pad from Authentique(Seasons:Summer), 3 image stamps and 2 sentiment stamps and a Stardust Pen.

There is also enough paper in the pack to make matching envelopes for the card.

I hope you enjoy this collections and stop back tomorrow for the final collections.

Sassy Style Mini Cards

Sorry I'm so late with my post for the day, but I was babysitting and really wasn't thinking when I put the baby down for his nap.  We weren't close to the craft room, so no crafting today.

As I promised though, I have another addition of mini cards to share.  This is the Sassy Style set from Archiver's that includes a stamp set from Unity, 6 X 6 paper pad from Carta Bella (Cool Summer), card stock and glossy accents.

These are all 3 X 3 cards and I just think they are so clever.

There is alot of fussy cutting and tedious gluing, but well worth the time and effort.

Hope you enjoy

Nancy
