Popsicle

It's a beautiful fall day here today, still warm enough to enjoy a popsicle or two!  The leaves are starting to turn and pretty soon I will have to be out raking them up!  I haven't been in my craft room for ages and decided to go down and spend some time.  I made this popsicle card using the Gypsy & Smiley Cards cart.  I have absolutely no little girls cards in my stash & this was very quick & easy to make.  The striped paper & pink paper were from my scrap drawer.  I embossed the white background with the Cuttlebug and took a chunk out of the popsicle with my round scalloped punch. The sentiment stamps are from Copper Leaf Creations.  Well I'm off to run some errands.

Have a great day everyone.

DIMENSIONAL LADY BUG CARD

I saw this card on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts on You Tube and thought it was adorable and just had to make one.  I didn't use anything Stampin' Up on mine (yikes).  I used  Marvy circle & scalloped punch, EK Success Arch Scallop punch, the stamp on the outside is from a set from Michael's called Birthday Wishes and the inside sentiment is from Copper Leaf Creations.

Here is the link for Dawns;

It's just too cute and very simple to make!

SISTER

I made this card for my sister's b'day which is on Friday.  The paper is called Wild Raspberry from K&Company.  It is an 8x8 pad I bought at Walmart.  The punch is from Martha Stewart and the stamp is from Stamps Happen Inc. #60058 Bees.  The sister sentiment is from Fiskar's family clear stamp set.  I used my copics to color the image but I am still having problems with the bleeding and the shading on the brown is not the greatest because the colors were too far apart but it was all I had.  The paper that the image is stamped on is from Neenah but I prefer Simply Smooth and I don't have anymore until my mother comes to visit.  I had some shipped to her while she winters in Florida as well as some more Copics from Dick Blick's and a whole whack of other goodies!  When are you coming to see me mom??  It's gonna be like Christmas when she gets here.

The sentiment for the inside is from Copper Leaf Creations and I used my scalloped oval Nestabilites to cut and emboss it.

I am still having a heck of a time taking a decent picture with my camera.  You would think with a $500.00 camera your pictures should come out pretty darn good but I have not liked this camera since I bought it.  It is a Canon Powershot S3 IS and my cheaper Olympus (that fell in the lake)   took way nicer pictures than this thing.  I try to take them in natural lighting but they never seem to come out crisp looking.  I have tried all different settings with no luck.  I have also tried using the macro function but the camera will not allow me to do it on automatic for some reason.  Well I am off to make breakfast and then I will post another quick card I made using the Crafts Too Leafy Tree embossing folder.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

 

This is my Grandma's Mother's Day card.  The paper is from KI Memories called Daydream.  The wheelbarrow stamp is from Copper Leaf Creations which I colored in with my Copics.  I am getting a little bit better with the markers except for bleeding with the darker colors.......practice, practice, practice!  The Copic colors I used are;

E 31,33,35 & 55

C 1,3 &5

N 1,3 &5

G 21 & 99

YG 11,13 &17

Y 11, 13 &15

YR00, 02,04

HERD IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Well I got my brother-in-laws card done.  The cow is from the FROM MY KITCHEN cart and the grass is from PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK cart.  I embossed the grass with my Cuttlebug distressed stripes folder and I used the Cuttlebug Traffic Jam folder.  The sentiment is from Copper Leaf Creations.  The layout for this card is similar to one in my new Paper Crafts magazine by AJ Otto.  Well I think I will finish my dishes and go down to my craft room and try to tidy it up and maybe start on an Easter card!

EARL.........GONE FISHING

Don't you just love Earl!! I like comical stamps. The stamps are from http://www.copperleafcreations.com/ and the gone fishing embellishment is from http://www.stampingbella.com/. I embossed the blue strip with Cuttlebug's Tiny Bubbles embossing folder. I used Marvy makers to color the stamp.

FORE!!!!

I made this card with another stamp from Copper Leaf Creations. The fore stamp and golf ball are from Stampin' Up. I colored it in with my Marvy markers and embossed the background with Cuttlebug's Tiny Bubbles embossing folder. The letters were cut using the Cricut Printing 101 cartridge.

OH NUTS!!!

Here is a card I made last night using paper from a box set I bought at Costco, stamps are from Copper Leaf Creations and I colored it in using prismacolor pencils.
