Twin Birthdays

Hi! A mid-week post for me! I had some time to stamp last night (mostly due to some procrastination on my part!) Tomorrow is the third birthday of our twin niece & nephew! I had to get these cards done to get them out to the mail in time!

I had this stamp set from Stampin' Up! for awhile- he loves "diggers!" I distressed the edges to rough it up a bit and make it more boyish!

Supplies: Little Trucks (Stampin' Up!), Botz Quotz (Stampendous), Jute string, Copic Markers

Now this one is for the little girl- I guess I enjoy doing girly cards more! Maybe it's all the fun embellishments I can add to it- the flowers, the bling & the glitter!

Supplies: Castle; Frog, Carriage (all Imaginisce), Scallop Square diecut Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Scallop border punch (Stampin' Up!), Prima flowers, gems, Copic Markers

Hope the Twins have a fabulous birthday! Thanks for stopping in!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2009- Hope you all brought in the new year with a bang!

Two posts tonight, be sure to scroll down to see my entry for Taylor's cupcake challenge too!

I've got a few more cards to catch up on posting here since my last post- I had the chance to go to a few of my local stamp/scrapbook stores (LSS) to spend some of my Xmas money (burning a hole in my wallet) and picked up a few new 'toys'!

First is this cute little fox.. just had to break him in with a little ink and created this, see his bushy little tail- flocking is so much fun!:

Supplies: Foxy (Imaginisce), Long Border Messages (Hero Arts), Scallop Square diecut (Nestabilities-Spellbinders), White flocking (Stampendous)

New Year's Eve was a double celebration for our family- we also threw a party for my niece's 8th birthday party before they went home. Her birthday was actually yesterday- she's our purple princess! (Notice more flocking on the belly!)

Supplies: Critter Party (Penny Black), Birthday Messages (Hero Arts), Scallop square diecut (Nestabilities-Spellbinders), White flocking (Stampendous), Stickles

Finally last week, I had a little bit of time to squeeze in some more cards for the Hero Arts sketch challenge. Here is the sketch for this card:

Supplies: Sweet Moments (Hero Arts), Scallop border punch (Stampin' Up!), Stickles

and the sketch for this one:

Supplies: Cupcakes & DesignBlock Birthday (Hero Arts)

Hope your 2009 is off to a great start!

One more...

Of course after my post the other night I still had a bit of a crafty bug in me, I made another card (& stayed up too late doing it) using the same sketch from the TECC card using this little chick that hasn't seen enough ink!

Supplies: Snag 'Em Acrylic Stamp Chick (Imaginisce); SparkleClear Cute Letters (Hero Arts); Swiss Dots embossing folder (Provocraft-Cuttlebug); Colored laquer; Gemstone

Thanks for swinging by!

(Post)-World Card Making Day

I really have no theme for these cards, just a few that I've done in the past week or so. This past Saturday was World Card Making Day, unfortunately I didn't have much time to participate as I would have liked. Did get the chance to check around a few blogs here and there and found some great ideas.

First I'll share a card I made for my mom, no rhyme or reason, but just because she's awesome, and I thought this stamp was so cute!

Supplies: What a Day! (Penny Black); Floral Screen embossing folder (Provocraft-Cuttlebug); Circle Scallop Nestabilities (Spellbinders)

This next card was for my sister, she starts her new job this week! How better to start off a new job than with some coffee? I found the patterned paper at a 'new to me' local scrapbook store, and thought of this card, I also included a gift card to Starbucks in it

Supplies: Sparkle Clear Coffee (Hero Arts): Ticket Corner Punch (Stampin' Up!); Circle Scallop Nestabilities (Spellbinders)

Another sister inspired this card- (she's quite crafty herself) had some too cute not to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) cards, here is my version of one:

Supplies: Blossoms (Imaginisce); Floral Screen embossing folder (Provocraft-Cuttlebug)

A few weekends ago, Jason & I were up in Colorado visiting his sister and family. We hit up a few garage sales in her neighborhood and I picked up this stamp for a steal! I'd been itching to be crafty since we got back (hence all the random cards).

Supplies: Daisy Chain (Penny Black, Inc.)

And finally, I received new stamps I ordered following that Stampin' Up! class from the previous post- I love these sets!

Supplies: All Stampin' Up!- Upsy Daisy, Ticket Corner Punch

As always-Thanks for stopping by!

TECC #26

Time for another cupcake challenge! I bought these adorable penguin stamps awhile ago, but haven't gotten around to using them until now...

Taylor's sketch, and my card- I went a little different and turned the sketch sideways:

Stamps: Penguin Dude, Penguin Chick (imaginisce); Clear Design Messages (Hero Arts)

Thanks for stopping by!
