HAPPILY EVER AFTER

This design if from the July/Aug edition of Papercrafts magazine.  The designer is Shannon Selsor.  Hers is a thank you card but I thought it would make a nice wedding card and since I don't have any in my stash that is what I decided to do.  The senitment on the inside is from Fiskar's Just Married Quotes clear stamp set.  The punch is from EK Success called Flower & Flourish.  The sentiment on the envelope and the front of the card is from Inkadinkadoo Wedding/Marriage clear stamp set and the butterfly punch is Martha Stewart.  The pattern on the card front is hand stamped using a flourish stamp I got in the $1.50 bin at Michael's.  Now I am going to try and get my own creative juices going and try to finish up one of my own designs.  Wish me luck!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The snowflakes were cut out using the Cuttlebug and snowflake die.  The snowman stamp is from Inkadinkadoo Tis the Season clear set.  He's kind of an ugly snowman but easy to color if you were using him to make a few cards.  It would have been nice if he had a top hat.  I used my nesties large deckled rectangle set to cut out the rectangle I stamped the snowman on and the paper is from  pads I got at Wal-Mart about 3 years ago.  I added the snow at the bottom from a bag of stuff that I had laying around to sprinkle around my ceramic Christmas village.  I didn't know if it would work or not but I just used my glue pen and sprinkled some on and pressed it down and it works great.

IN THE DOG HOUSE

Rain rain go away!!!! Is it ever going to stop? Guess I shouldn't complain since I've had time to do things other than gardening! I made this gatefold card using my Scor-Pal. The dog house was cut out using the Cricut Doodlecharm cart cut at 4". I used Cuttlebug's distressed stripe folder on the bottom of the house and mosaic tile on the roof. The stamps are from Inkadinkadoo called Dogs.

DREAM

The idea for this card came from CardMaker magazine. I used one of the butterflies off the Cricut Walk in My Garden cartridge and cut it out of white vellum. The paper is from a pack of K and Company called Wild Saffron that I bought at Wal-Mart. The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo called Garden Words. I inked around the butterfly with white pigment ink and I ripped the top and side of the card at the front only to allow the inside pattern to show.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

This is for my mom's birthday which is tomorrow. She received it in the mail already so I'm ok to post now! I used Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, Martha Stewart scalloped lace punch and Inkadinkadoo Butterflies & Bugs stamp set from Michael's. I used Cricut Beyond Birthdays to cut out the word Mom. I used a clear star gelly roll pen on the butterflies and to make the little dots in the corners. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

WE MAY NOT BE TADPOLES ANYMORE.....

I made this card for my sister's birthday. I used Marvy markers and chalk. The frog stamp is from Inkadinkadoo. The inside verse which is from Stampin' Up says "We may not be tadpoles anymore but at least we haven't croaked.

HAPPY EVERYTHING

Decided to get in the scrap drawer this morning and make a card. I usually don't go for the real glittery stuff (that's my daughter's forte) but decided what the heck. It's so overcast here maybe something a little sparkly will brighten my day. The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo Butterflies and Bugs clear set from Micheal's.
