Fabric card

Here is another card using fabric and I adhered a sparkly flower that had fallen off one of my daughter's headbands. I love the new label punch, too.

Valentine Gift Tag

These were the favors I made for our Stamp Camp in Park

River the other weekend. Thank you everyone for attending and the lovely demos Kris and Lisa who are so creative and do such beautiful work. (I have a link to Kris's site at the left)

These gift tags were run through the big shot to cut and then emboss. I used build-a-brads and lots of punches!! I thought these would be cute hanging from a wine bottle as a gift or just on the outside of a package.

Halloween Card

My sister made me this one too. Isn't she wonderful?!!! She was inspired by an awesome stamping site: dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com
A great place for inspiration!

The ghosts are made out of the Owl punch and the pumpkin out of ovals. I love the new shimmer brads!

Happy Halloween!

My sister made this card. I like the smooch over the black cardstock it makes the web pop and adds a a little festive shine.

Supplies: Web embossing folder and Topnote die with big shot, smooch spray, DSP paper, Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, Halloween stamp set, google eyes, Rich Razzelberry, Black and Gray cardstocks, and black ink

I LOVE the Big Shot!!

Monkey from a tree

My sister designed this card. It turned out so cute.


Supplies: Fox and Friends stamp set, sticky sheets,big shot and vine die cut and lattice embossing folder, ribbon, designer brad, hemp twine, 1 3/4 Circle punch, Espresso ink, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake card stock, glitter
The vine die will cut out its shape into a sticky sheet. It won't cut all the way through but leave an imprint (I just cut it out from there). The glitter sticks right on the sticky sheet and I cut the monkey out to make him look like he was swinging from the vine.

Owl with Punch

SU! offers a new great owl punch and it makes the cutest owls! I made this one with some of our other punches; Circle punches, Scallop, tab, and the feet were cut from our flower punch.

Happy Fall

Supplies: Because I Care Stamp Set, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Circle Cutter, 1" circle punch.

Directions: To get the textured strip of paper on the bottom corner I folded accordian style with small folds the strip of Baja paper and then adhered it down.

Lace Card

I really like the lace doubled with the eyelet border. They seem to really go together and give your card a delicate vintage feel.

New Technique!!

I haven't tried a new technique in a while and I was excited to do this one!



Supplies: Elmer's glue, Baja Breeze & Wild Wasabi reinkers, Basic Gray ink, Nature Silouettes, Going Gray, Baja Bl, and Basic Gray Cardstock, silver brads, label and oval punch
Directions: Place dots of glue across your white cardstock and then smear with your finger. When this is dry dab your reinker on to a sponge and wipe across your cardstock. The glue won't catch as much ink giving you the neat effect. This will also take a while to dry but after it is dry you can stamp over it with your image.

This card is for my mom's birthday. I wanted to make her a special one so hopefully she won't be checking my blog this month!


Supplies: Elmer's glue, Crumb Cake, Rich Razzelberry, Cajun Craze reinkers, sponges, Early Espresson ink, Inspired by Nature Stamp Set, Scallop punch and accessories (here I used a clip and ribbon on the punched out label)

Medallion Card

Supplies: Medallion Stamp, Black cardstock, Marina Mist, More Mustard, NIght of Navy, Big shot, embossing folder, and top note, ribbon, Scallop Circle punch, circle punch
I sponged NIght of Navy on the edges to give the card some added texture

Love this Stamp Set!

Supplies: Aviary Stamp set, Garden Green, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Ribbon, Scallop Punch, Big Shot w/ embossing folder, DS paper

Aviary Stamp Set

The Aviary stamp set is a very cute one. Some things I have learned with it is your cage needs to be stamped in a much darker color than the bird you stamp inside it. In this card I cut the bird out and placed it in front. I popped it with a dimensional. Again the color wheel inspired this color combo!



Supplies: Aviary Stamp set, Stampin Dimensional, Garden Green, Crumb Cake, Choc Chip and Cajun Craze, Big shot with top note and embossing folder, sponge

Baby Boy Card

Supplies: CHerry Cobbler ink and cardstock, Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Very Vanilla Cardstock, Cordorouy Button, Star & Circle Punch, Ribbon, Stampin Around wheel

Purse Card

I thought this card was just plain cute!!!!!!!

Supplies: Bermuda Bay card stock, pretty in pink Card stock, Circle Circus stamp set, Oval punches, large circle punch, brads, Mambo Ink pad, Chocolate Chip Card stock, White Card stock, Scallop square punch (Word window punch would also work), Ribbon and Scallop edge punch

I stamped an image 3 times with Circle Circus and then punched them out using the large circle punch. I cut off a side of the circle to give it the purse shape. I punched the Scallop Square shape out of choc chip card stock and then cut the corners at angles to get the purse fastener. I put brads on for buttons and the handles were made by punching the oval shape punch and then moving my punch further up and punching again to punch out the purse straps.

To finish I tied with ribbon and then punched the scallop edge on the Bermuda Card stock.

Back to School Card

In the spirit of back to school I thought this was a fun card to make!! Get out your punches!!!

Supplies: Window Punch, Tab Punch, notebook spiral punch, boho blossom punch Black card stock, crushed curry card stock, real red card stock, white card stock, pretty in pink card stock, whisper white ink, black ink

The trick to make this apple was to tab punch red card stock and then punch it again moving your punch up to get the nice "apple" red strips at the top and bottom of your "core".

The same type of thing was done for the pencil. I used the window punch to punch out part of the "eraser" from the pink card stock. For the apple seeds I just punched the flower punch out of black card stock and trimmed off petals for seeds.
