Thankful Card

I had so much fun making the card for the Guest Designer for Crafter's Companion this month that I decided to try this technique out in fall colors using the same stamp set Paint Fusion EZ Mount Poppies Stamp Set.  This time I decide to just use the leaf stamp in the set and it made a cute fall card.  If you missed the post with the video I did a few weeks ago here is the link to it and it shows you how to make this card. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Little Mermaid Gift Card Holder

Click here for the HIMCR Challenge of the week.

I have had this stamp set forever and I never used it till today!  I saw this mermaid challenge and thought it was a perfect time to use my stamp set!!  

I cut out the gift card holder out on my Silhouette and stamped the image right on the card.

Then I used my water colored pencils to color in the Ariel and distressed the edges.

What a cute little gift card holder for a little Princess!

I had so much fun last week enter MFP Sketch With a Twist Challenge that I thought I would do it again this week.  I brought a couple sets of MFP stamps this week.  I love this owl and the pumpkins!!!  This set is called Autumn Splendor. I distress the edges of each one of the squares and used my water color pencils to color in the images.  

Here is the sketch I used to make my card.

HIMCR #68 Technique

I'm so happy it's Saturday!  It has been a busy week around our house.   I'm glad to spend the day  around the house  and finish up some things and get my house cleaned up.  I'm going to my friend's Pampered Chef party tonight.  We haven't seen each other in awhile and since we both have jobs this school year it's been hard to meet up.  

This week challenge at HIMCR is Technique use a Die Cut.  I thought this die cut was so cute and was perfect for a friend's birthday.  I used the My Creative Time Coffee Break Stamp Set  and all the paper was from my scrap box! I used this set the last time AJ and I crafted together so it's on my wish list.

Now it's time to head over to HIMCR to check out the rest of the Design Team Creations for the week and enter the challenge!

Have a good weekend!!

Happy, happy Birthday to you. . .

Yesterday I was able to get 2 birthday cards made!  I just ran out of time to post it yesterday.  One of my son's teachers is having a birthday next week so I wanted to send him a card and a little treat for helping my little man out. 

I saw a challenge over at Mark's Finest Papers that gave me an idea for my card.  The challenge is taking Inspiration from a photo.  So over the last few weeks I have been taking pictures of the progress of my craft room.  So my to make a tool card was perfect!!  We have been taking things apart, painting, and putting new things together.  

Stamps used: CTMH Tool Time and Card Chatter Birthday

My first Waterfall card

I'm so proud of myself for doing one of the cards on my list to try!!  I think that waterfall cards are so cool but never sat down and tried it till today.  It was so easy after I figured it out.   My friend's birthday is next week and I wanted to make her a special card.  I love love this cupcake paper and stamp set!!  I took lots of pictures of this card so you could see all the images on it.

I used a regular size card 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and covered the front with my cupcake paper.

Then I cut a strip of pink card stock at 2x9 and scored it at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", and 4 1/4" and bend on your score lines.  Also cut 4 2x2 squares. 

Cut a piece of cardstock in kraft 3/4x4 1/4 to attach across the front.

4 white squares 1 7/8 x 1 7/8 to stamp on and attached to the pink 2x2 squares.  

You can also check out the tutorial at MFP Speedy TV and see the step by step instruction on how to make this card.

A Little Birdie told me... it's your birthday

I'm trying really hard to get caught up on cards for my friends and family birthday for the rest of the year.  Then hopefully I will get busy on next year after that.  This morning I made this cute little birdie card for my friend.  I used the CTMH Life is Tweet stamp set.  The card base was a bland card I had in my card box that I discovered over the weekend.  I decide it would be cute to use w wiggle ear for the birdie.  It's a perfect card for a fall birthday!
