Nate's Angry Birds

My 6yo son had today off of school.

So we spent the day in my Stamp Studio.

This is the card that he created.

He does love his Angry Birds!

Lattice & Roses

It's a stampin' kinda day in MD.

I was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest,

and my Roses that are in full bloom in my front yard.

Combine the two and created this card.

I created this card using the Stampin' Up Lattice Die,

CB lattice embossing folder (thanks Cindy), MFT Roses,

SU itty bitty shapes punch, SU bling, all SU CS,

large square nesties.

Wrapping Paper Cards

 I'm sure someone, somewhere has already

had this idea...but I just thought of it a few

months ago..and wanted to share.

With my kids ever changing interests as

well as their friends interests I never have

the "perfect stamp" anymore.  

So then I had that lightbulb moment

Oprah would call it my Ahh-Haa moment.

Why not just use the wrapping paper I already 

have..then the card coordinates perfectly and

I don't have to find/buy the perfect stamp..that I may or

may not ever use again.

Hope this helps another Mommy.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day 2012

These are the two Mother's Day cards I created today.

Going to be late...but it's the thought that counts right?!

Wasn't able to get a good picture...I'm an okay card maker but

worlds worst photographer.

The card base is Teal not navy as it looks in the photos.

I used a really old technique for this card...remember

the dryer sheet technique..well that's what I used here.

Lots of shine to these cards.  I also used shimmer CS

so they are bling-tastic.

Hope all the Mother's out there have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Teacher appreciation 2012

It's that time of year again.  Teacher Appreciation Week..and

again I'm not prepared.  Made this card today.

I found this DSP at Michael's it's Recollections brand.

All CS is SU, Momento Ink, SU brads, Nesties, 

white embossing powder for the A+ stamp on the chalkboard

Copic markers for the main image, Offray ribbon.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Inspire Altered Cigar Box

The feet are SU stamp blocks.

Painted to match the box.

I guess the Altered Cigar Box started at a LSS called

The Queen's Ink.  A couple of our stamp group members

joined in for one of their classes and brought the idea

back to the group!  lol

This is one I made today.  It was very quick and easy.

Kinda cool that you can take something that would otherwise

end up in a landfill and make something beautiful out of it.

This one will hold my sketch book I made a couple years ago.

Found the matching paper in my hoard of DSP...

Hope you all are having a wonderful week.

Thanks for stopping by!
