Monster Tea Party

2009-02-10T08:31:00.002-06:00

If I was going to fall in love with a Monster, this would be the one. I think he is so sweet! This is Monsters Tea Party from Victoria Case Art Designs. These Monsters are so cute. I colored this with my Prisma's and googone. Mounted it on Bazzill shiny cardstock I got from Loreen. I used my paper shaper swirl punch also from Loreen. I had these cute little flower rhinestones for the tip of the swirl. DP is from my stash, flowers are Prima's, also from my stash. The metal heart I bought last year on clearance and ribbon from... where else? JoAnns $ bin.
I just love this "MONSTER"!

She is so cute and so fun to color! I colored her with my copics. DP and ribbon are all from my stash! This is a good spring card for anyone that has the winter blahs!

Angel on the Moon

2009-02-08T11:40:00.002-06:00

Well I didn't make one card last week! Then yesterday in the mail came Angel on the Moon by Victoria Case Art Stamps.
When I first saw this design I knew I loved it. After a couple of MONSTERS from Victoria, this was the next on my list. That moon is to die for! Look at that face! Who wouldn't want to take a nap right there? I used my Prisma's to color and cs was from my bits and left overs! I used my paper shaper swirl punch for the two corners and I dug out my sequins for the corners. Sequins DO NOT stick with glue dots nor glue, so I had to use, SHOE GOO! Talk about stinky stuff! And I really don't think it is archival safe! But they stuck! I used little blue rhinestones in the center of each sequin and my ribbon is from JoAnns' $ bin.
Thanks for stopping by!

Nuther Pollycrafts

2009-02-03T16:23:00.003-06:00

I don't remember when I had such a hard time putting a card together. I think I need to quit for awhile and regroup! This is another great digi image from Pollycrafts. Colored with copics! I had this DP in my paper drawer and finally found it. I knew it was in there! I cut some pink tulling for this. I have a whole roll I bought when for my daughters babyshower when I made a diaper cake. Well I have more than the whole roll left! I used my Paper Shapers Swril punch and DewDrops. I tore the paper! Yes I did! That is why the ribbon is on the bottom, to cover up the tear! I had to put dewdrops there to cover it up even more! Its crooked and wrinkled! So on that note....I am taking some time off from card making! Think I will crochet! LOL
Hope everyone is having a great week!!
C-ya later!

PollyCraft

2009-02-03T08:19:00.003-06:00

While crusin the stamp world I found these great digi images from PollyCraft. These are new digi images from the Promise Collection. I colored this with copics. I struggle with my copics! Maybe because I don't have colors from the same family! Anyway, I think it turned out pretty cute! The paper is from my stash of "left overs" and flower are Prima's and I used DewDrops in the corners and flower centers. I love the softness of this card!
Have a great week!

I recieved this image from a friend of mine, THANK YOU!! She knew I didn't have any Valentine Tilda's! I colord her with my Prisma's and googone. My heart and sentiment are from Darcy's and are OLD! I used my cuttlebug and heart folder for the background and my new paper shapers swirl punch from EKSuccess that was a gift from Loreen!

All Dressed Up

2009-01-31T12:00:00.003-06:00

I love digi images! I like it cuz you can have it right now, while your waiting maybe for the letter carrier? I found this cute image at SquiggleFly. Talk about fun to color! I made this one into a Valentine card. I used my Prisma's and googone to color her. The flower in her hat, pearls and earrings I colored with my Glaze pens. The "frame" is the pocket border from a stamp I got at a rummage sale! I figured out who those are by also, Darcy's. The whole lot I bought were from Darcy's and they are sooo cute. They are old! I colored the pocket lace with my Prisma's and cut out all FOUR of them! Framed the image. I used another old stamp for the background, by Impress.
I used my nifty swirl punch that was a gift from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap, I so love that punch! I couldn't find any cs that would match my pinks so I punched out the swirls on white cs and colored them. I have these great pink "diamonds" from Me and My Big Idea's.
She is really pink, but I love her! Everytime I make something pink, I think of Kim and Loreen. They're my pink girls!

Tilda

2009-01-31T11:56:00.002-06:00

A couple of weeks ago, I challenged the Magnolia-licious group to make a Valentine Card, using a NON-Valentine image. I made a couple of them, only because I have no Valentine Tilda's. Its amazing what you can do with a stmap and make it into what you want. Imagination! This is Windy Tild, I think that's what she is called. Anyway, I just covered up the autumn leaves with hearts, added a few extra. I used my EKSuccess heart punch for the little hearts, and ran some Stickles over them to glitter. Everything else was in my stash, and as usual, used my prisma's and googone! Gotta love that googone! LOL
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Valentine.....

2009-01-30T14:40:00.005-06:00

I used my Sweet Love set by Papertrey Ink. I love the simplicity of this set. Basically it's the same card except for different DP I used and changing ink colors around. I used my nesties on the ovals. Ran ribbon through a round punch hole and voila, simple as they come, but I just love these.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

PuppyCakes Bag

2009-01-28T17:29:00.003-06:00

I bought these little bags at the $ store awhile back and have only used two of them. We have a neighbor that is less fortunate than most of us, but he has his faithful companion Star. Stars birthday is coming up and I thought maybe she deserved a present. This is Puppy Cakes by Victoria Case Art Designs, one of her great digi images. I colored Star up with my prisma's and googone, dp was in my stash. I used my SP to scor my edges and double sided tape to adhere to the bag. I have a sizzix die of puppy feet that I didn't even remember I had. Two little rhinestone brads at the base of the handle, and Star has her own little bag!
What is going in the bag?? A little doggie magnet, a coupon for $ off a box of treats and of course a few treats for right now. She'll be happy!

Tilda and Edwin

2009-01-27T10:40:00.003-06:00

I posted a challenge on the mags group to make a Valentine, using a NON-Valentine Mag image. This is what I came up with. This was fun. These are two of my favorite stamps and two of the first ones I bought. I cut my heart out on my cricut and used my edging scissors to cut the heart in 1/2. Then I used DMC and sewed the heart back together. I put Tilda and Edwin sitting on bandaides. Used my EKSuccess corner punch for the two corners. Big eyelets for the two corners running ribbon through each eyelet. The card still looked blah to me, so I added the little white dots. Tilda and Edwin were colored with my Prisma's and googone. Cardstock is from my stash of pieces.

I used one of my other corner punches from EKSucces that I got from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. These punches are so fun! Colored with my Prisma's and googone and used my nesties on the cutout.

Tilda's Cookies

2009-01-24T08:31:00.003-06:00

This is the first time I've colored a Tilda with the cookies. She is so sweet. I used my Prisma's and googone, I used the fiskars punch for the slot punches and my EKSuccess punch for the hearts in the corner. The dp I had in my stash, it was bought at Michaels in their clearance section last year. Flowers are from my stash of flowers! and dew drops for the centers.

Approaching Wedding

2009-01-22T07:57:00.007-06:00

I don't know how many of you remember, but I was doing STD's for my daughters upcoming wedding. Well I'm happy to say, they are in the mail! We have a little less than 6 months before her big day! I've been cutting paper for the last two days, getting the Wedding Invites ready to put together. She wanted them very simple. When I made the STD's I made several different layouts for her to see. STD's and Invites. She picked the one she wants and it was a go. Also I am making RSVP's to put on the inside. I'm waiting on some Vellum for the insert, I will print off the Union on the vellum. I have cut,scored,embossed,punched and nestie'd!
Here are the STD's that are in the mail, and one of the 3 Invites that are completely finished!
Hope everyone is having a great week.

LuvBirds

2009-01-15T18:26:00.005-06:00

Another fun image by Victoria Case Art Design.
This is another digi image that I feel in love with! I colored the image with my prisma's. I made it into a pocket card. Used my SU scalloped border punch, stitched around the pocket. I had some white tags in my stash and covered them with dp, tied the ribbon added a flower with brad to each tag. The sayings on the tags, that you can't see are from a set from Uptown Rubber Stamps, Boyds Bears that I have had for years! One saying is "Love Conquers All" and the other "Love 50c" and "Kisses 5c".
The heart in the background with the bow is a Hanglar. I think these little Luv Birds are just toooo cute! I'm not sure who the paper is by, but I dug deep and found it and LOVE IT! Should of bought more!

Have you ever been blog hopping, looking at others creations, see a design you go nuts over, find out its a StampCo. you never heard of, you click the link that takes you right to the site, and its LOVE AT FIRST SITE! Nothing better than that!
While visiting Catt'sScratcingPost I came across the cutest card on her blog of the LuvBirds. Direct link took me right to
Victoria Case Art Designs. WOW talk about darling images! Some rubber and some digi! I fell in love with them all! Trying to make up my mind which rubber to buy, I bought some digi images and had them within minutes! Go check out her images, and like Chris says, check out the monsters!
So playing today with my new digi stamp, Bubbly Fun. I colored the image with my prisma's. The circle and corners were punched using my EKSuccess punch that I got from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. I used my cricut to cut out the heart. I have my Marvy heart punch for the hearts. I took 2 hearts and glued them back to back, pierced them, used my Krenick blending filiament to hang them with. Ribbon is from my daughters "wedding invite" tote! LOL

M's Birthday Card

2008-12-26T12:42:00.005-06:00

My daughters 26th birthday is coming up in January. So I thought I would get ahead just a bit and work on a card for her. A while back I bought a stamp by Suzy Toronto. I absolutely LOVE her stamps! This stamp is called, My Daughter my Friend. The sentiment is also by Suzy Toronto. I colored the image with my Prisma's. All the cs is from my stash. I wanted a little distressed look to the card, besides the gray I added to my hair!! LOL I use to do a lot of cross stich and have totes and totes filled with specialty floss. I dug some of it out and created my own "ribbon". It was a lot of work! But I was happy the way it turned out. The card is huge, but my daughter is so worth it! She loves handmade cards!

Memories

2008-12-23T10:53:00.003-06:00

I made this card over the last two days! With the Holidays upon us, I can only get bits and pieces of anything done! I ordered a new punch from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. Its a corner punch with a guard that can be taken off, by EKSuccess. I punched the circle with the corner punch and laid that on top of a cirlce. I used my scalloped square nesties for the back of the cirlce. I had these great chipboard designs that I picked up at the $ store, used the clock in the middle and the Memory below. I used my SU close to cocoa for the edge. Ribbon came from....JoAnn's.
I love the way the card turned out, it was hard not to do any stamping on it.
Thanks for looking.
May you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas.

The glitter is jelly glitter by Gelatin Stamps. Great to work with! I just painted glue on the tips of my flowers and sprinkled glitter, swooshed it around and dumped it on paper to add it back in my jar. Ribbon is CTMH and I used my nesties on the window.

Santa

2008-12-04T13:45:00.003-06:00

This stamp is soooo old! About 5+ years ago, hubby and I went on a Rummage sale run over by the Mississippi. Miles and miles of sales! I had to much fun! One place we stopped at had stamps, used, poorly taken care of and i bought the whole lot. Mostly Chrismtas stamps. Came home, cleaned them all up and put them away! So yesterday I dug them out. This stamp is by Penny Black and of course being Santa, I love it! Colored him with copics and the verse is one I've had in my stash, no idea who it is by, but all the same, fits the Santa image perfect. I'm in a simple mode, maybe because I am so far behind in my Christmas cards and we are down to the wire now. Thanks for looking!

I colored this image the other day with the few copics I have. This image was another one of those gifts and have no idea from who, or the name of the stamp, but THANK YOU! Love these Images!

I colored these cuties up a couple of days ago and just didn't know what I wanted to do with them. I wanted it simple, but eye catching and sometimes the simple things are the hardest. The image is by Inkadinkadoo. I used basic white CS and ribbon was in my stash, another one that came from Mikes. The bottom border is punched out using the new Fiskars snowflake border punch. The "rope" is a blending filament from Krenick. This was such a fun card to do, but way to much measuring!

The more I color this Tilda and Edwin, the more I like it. I just think they are so cute. I colored this last night watching a Christmas movie. In fact, I was so involved in Christmas movies I colored a few images. The darling Christmas tree was an image sent to me, for the life of me I can't remember who that generous person was nor who makes the stamp, but I LOVE IT! How fun to color that tree. I really thought it was going to take me forever, but went fairly quickly. Everything on this card was pulled out of my bits and pieces tote, little of this, and a little of that in there.

Pink Tilda Magnolia-licious Challenge

2008-12-02T13:29:00.002-06:00

I made this for the Magnolia-icious DT's layout challenge. I thought I would do this in pink! I've done the usual Christmas colors and the blue and silver, so tried the pink with a hint of green. My DS is by BoBunny, ribbon of course the stash of all ribbon stash's! I used my CB snowflake folder on the round background, colored the snowflakes with my SU ink pad. I cut the tree out of my Sizzix die cut. I had these great snowflakes in white, and touched them up with some pink ink. Tilda is colored with my Prisma's. I love the colors! Tilda looks good in pink!

Okay then I finally did my layout challenge! Of course I wait till the last minute for everything, its due tomorrow! LOL
This is Tilda with hood and I love her too! Not many I don't love! I used all old ds I had in my scrap drawer, My flowers are Prima's and snowflakes are from a punch, I dabbed stickles on the for some sparkle. I don't know if you can see it, but on the green behind Tilda, I used my CB folder and used one of the new folders with the winter scene. I then lightly went over the image with white ink and a cotton swab. Ribbon is really old! When I get to Michaels around Christmas, I stock up on all their Christmas ribbon! As usual, Tilda is colored with Prisma's.

I love this Tilda and her Holiday outfit. All paper is from my stash, and very old! I bought that great pointsettia last year when we were up to our cabin and they LSS was having a Christmas clearance sale. The verse is from...I have no idea!

Another favorite Edwin & Tilda. I got this stamp from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. I colored it up last night using my Prisma's and googone. Then this morning thought I would put it together. This isn't how I had it pictured in my head, but all the same, I am happy the way it turned out. I used my Fiskars snowflake border punch on the side and ran the blue paper down the inside of the card. I used my nestie to cut out the oval and my copic pen to make the blue swish marks, going over them with my glitter gel pen. The trees are punched out from me EKSuccess punch. Snowflakes are brads I bought a couple of years ago and think I've used 2 of them before. Ribbon and paper is from my stash! Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a great weekend.

On a ROLL!

2008-11-15T16:02:00.003-06:00

Ahhh, I love this Tilda! She is fun to color. Used my Prisma's and googone on her. I had this great blue sparkly ds and finally got to use it. This is like a gate fold card but there is an overlap. I started out with it the opposite way at 6x11, then decided I didn't like it, seemed to big and awkward, so then took the width down to 5.5 and liked it better, but still wasn't right so i flipped it around and then I liked it! Used my snowflake cb folder for the white oval, both cut from my nesties. I had this great white ribbon, this huge roll of it and never used it before. So liking the white and just that little shimmer it has, went with that, even though it has roses on it! Snowflakes were cut out with my punch and glittered up just a little to add some sparkle. I like the card, the ribbon is a little to stiff to make a nice bow.

and the MOJO is BACK!

2008-11-15T12:18:00.004-06:00

Well after recieving 6 new mags yesterday in the mail from Loreen the ole MOJO returned! So last night, the dining room table became a mess once again.
The base of the card is from SCS and is called a Double pocket card. I made this a while back. Worked perfect for what I wanted. Tilda with Dalecarlia Coat, I love this stamp! Colored with my Prisma's and googone. Nesties used for rectangles, DP is from TAC, Penelope and Willoughby,I love that paper! Ribbon is stash. I used a snowflake punch for the snowflakes and colored them with my dewdrops, just a touch of stickles and a pale green rhinestone in the middle! The little tree is also a punch. Winter Wishes is Fiskars "Tis the Season" acrylic stamp set. The card has two pockets but I only used one. The little envie is done on my enveloper, a wonderful gift from Loreen! Thanks Loreen!!! I love that tool! Making envies are FUN! I tied it with ribbon! I used my scor mat from Scor-Pals and that is also a great tool! all those angles are a cinch!
Thanks for stopping by and thank you also for not giving up on me! LOL
Have a great weekend!!

No Mojo

2008-11-14T09:37:00.002-06:00

I can't believe I have lost my mojo! I haven't made on card in over two weeks! I'm hoping today the mailman brings me some goodies that I ordered from Wish on a Scrap! I ordered 6 new Magnolia's. I know that will help bring the mojo back! And of course having the dining room table cleaned off don't help!
You will see lots of new looks on my blog as far as my header and backgrounds. I have played around with graphics for about 12 years and am now teaching myself HTML. That is a lot of reading and a lot of trials n booboo's! But its fun, once you understand the first part, don't ask what the first part of HTML is, I have no idea! LOL
Please keep stopping by, I will have my mojo back shortly!!
Hope everyone is having a great week, and have a great weekend.

hAnglar&stAnglar

2008-10-28T18:33:00.004-05:00

I finished this card up today. Another hAnglar stamp. These are so cute. Someday I hope they sell them in the US. I colored her with my prisma's. I used a chipboard swirly up in the corner. Used my green dew drop to color the chipboard. Flowers out of my stash. I used my Fiskars border punch for the middle panel and my oval nesties. I think this is one of my favorite hAnglar stamps, as least for today!
Hope your having a great week!

Edwin

2008-10-28T18:26:00.003-05:00

I have a hard time with Edwin cards. But this turned out okay, its kind of plain for me, but one minute I like it the next I don't. This is traveling Edwin I got from a good friend of mine, across the pond! I colored him and the suitcase with my pirsma's and colored the swirls with my SU ink. It was one swirl but I cut it in half! Corners punched out with my SU punch and the scalloped border....SU's new border punch.
Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone has had a great week.

Lavenders-hAnglar&stAnglar

2008-10-25T10:18:00.003-05:00

I love lavender, not as much as red! I found this great paper at Michaels on clearance about 3 months ago. I just fell in love with how soft it looked. I colored my hAnglarstAnglar image with copics. I used my SU punch for corners and then 1/4 the corners. I stitched on the card, My nestis for the ovals. This is ribbon from the $ bin at JoAnne Fabric. This was a fun card to play with. I just kept adding layers.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!

Old and New Christmas Card

2008-10-23T17:48:00.002-05:00

I don't even know where to start with this card! The tree image I've had forever and is by Northwoods Rubber stamps. Its a great stamp and its big! I suppose about 5-6 years ago I stamped the image on glossy cs and embossed it with a copper color. I sponged the sky, I'm guessing all this by looking at it! In my drawer it went. Today I was upstairs in my craft room looking for something and ran across and old cardboard frame I was saving, for what?? LOL It was starting to yellow! AHHH, bright idea, now where is that tree scene image I have? So after a lot of searching, found it. Another bright idea, i'm going to emboss it with that pretty light blue embossing powder. WRONG! Either the card board was to old, to thick or something, it wouldn't emboss. As long as I have been stamping, I do not own a heat gun! I use, yes, the stove! Well trying to emboss this cardboard almost started it on fire, it was turning a nice parchment brown. Hubby was not happy with me, since the whole house started to smell like burning cardboard. Went back over to the cupboard and brushed off the embossing color. Went and got my Kaleidacolor, Blue Breeze and stamped TAC Holly Swirls and stamped those out. Then cardboard still looked pretty brown underneath, I sponged the frame with my Kaleidacolors. Used my sparkly Gelly Roll pen and went over the swirls a few times so they would show up as sparkly, which you can't catch in the picture. I also took my Diamond Sticklers and dotted up the trees to look like fresh fallen snow. I used an image by Whiff of Joy that was sent to me from a good friend. I colored her and the reindeer, then used my turqouis stickles and put on the fur. Way to much glitter, so wiped that off. Used an OLD old ink pad from Hero Arts called The Inkers. Its a white fluffy looking ink. Still works. Then I just put it all together and this is how it turned out. Not bad for taking 6 years to put together!

Another Christmas Card

2008-10-22T11:44:00.003-05:00

This is a image I colored up about a week ago and just put it together very fast!
With the image being so large and busy, i didn't want to add a lot of embellies to it. I embossed Merry Christmas in gold on the side of the card, added ribbon to the corners of the image. The image is from The Stamping Place, called, Holiday Door. I bought this image about two years ago on my way up to see my daughter in college. This is the first time I have colored it! I used my Prisma's to color the image. Its a simple card with alot of coloring! LOL

The Man Card

2008-10-22T08:43:00.005-05:00

This is for my hubby's birthday. I think making a MAN CARD has got to be one of the hardest things to do. I wanted to put pretty ribbon on it, and flowers! He likes flowers, but only in the yard! I had Edwin playing the guitar, my hubby plays guitar, and the cuttlebug music embossing folder and I went from there. My goodies are from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap. The button are from my coat! LOL On the inside I made another embossed layer and made a pocket with my Enveloper! Have you ever used one? OMGOSH they are fantastic and so much fun! Loreen sent me one as a gift! I love playing with it and it make the greatest envies! Thank you Loreen!!! What a wonderful gift! I also made an envelope to go with the card.
I colored Edwin with my Prismas.

Sympathy Card

2008-10-21T21:31:00.004-05:00

Reindeer Card aka Christmas Card

2008-10-21T21:22:00.005-05:00

This is a card I've been working on for almost 2 weeks. I had it all finished except for putting it together, just wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. I wanted it plain as I could. I think it turned out very pretty and simple. I can't remember where the stamp is from, its made from black rubber. I bought it about 2 years ago.

October Kit is AWESOME!

2008-10-13T13:15:00.003-05:00

Here is another project that took me days to do! Hopefully soon I will be back on track! Everything on this card except for my ribbon (stash) is from the October kit, and big embellie on envie is from the Sept. kit from Wish on a Scrap The paper is gorgeous! I colored up a HanglarAnglar stamp that a friend sent to me. I've never made an envelope for any of my cards! This time I did, using my Enveloper Scoring board! Easy peasy as they say! This is a box envelope, about 1/8 of an inch thick to put a nice fat embellished card into it! Decorated it up a little, and walla! Done! Of course this can't go through the mail, but what a fun way to actually call it done!

Engagement Book

2008-10-13T13:05:00.004-05:00

This is for my daughter and fiance'. I've worked on this for about 3 days, very under the weather here! I followed a tutorial for the box and lid at SCS. Nice little box that goes together very fast. The inside book with pictures is from Scrapbook Lounge. Its oragami folding and is easier than I had thought it to be! I think the little accordian booklet turned out great. I then took the pics from m's proposal and used my graphic program to resize them and print them off. Tucked each one into a "pocket". It folded up so nice! Then I just used simple embellishments to wrap it up.
Thanks for looking!!

August Calendar

2008-10-11T23:17:00.003-05:00

Here is my August calendar. I only have one done so far! Coloring that tent is a little time consuming! I'm not sure if I'm going to go with this one or not. Reason is, I don't know if I want to color 3 more tent scenes! But I like the way it turned out with Edwin playing his guitar.

Coaster Frame

2008-10-11T13:13:00.002-05:00

This is my coaster frame I made to hold my granddaughters first birthday picture.
She was a gooey mess! I used everything from my October kit from Wish on a Scrap. Loreen put together such an awesome kit and the colors are gorgeous! Reese's colors for her 1st birthday were pink and brown. This paper fit the colors perfect. I used two coasters and cut my cs 4x4. I rounded the ends and then used my exacto knife to round the corners more on the coasters. The scalloped frame part on the right side, I used my nesties for that. Worked okay, my coasters are very very thin, don't think this would work with a thick coaster. I ran it through my cuttlebut several times for the cut. Actaully I put 2 sheets of white cardstock under my C plate to make it a little tighter. Be careful, this is a good way to break that handle right off! When I turned the handle, I didn't use the turn KNOB, I held it close to the machine itself. I also used my square nestie for the center cut. Then just put it all together. The sentiment was generated on the puter the size to fit the tag. This was so much fun. A little out of my comfort zone altering something! But I did it!!
Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone has a great weekend.

October Kit

2008-10-09T11:36:00.003-05:00

I wanted to show you the October kit from Loreen at Wish on a Scrap! Its wonderful!! The paper is by BoBunny and is more than gorgeous! You know, the kind you don't want to use, you want to save it forever! LOL The flowers by Petalloo, Pattlet of Petals, are shimmery, beautiful!!! Thickers and Stickers and Rhinestones, felt fushion rain dots and floral doodles! And a 5x7 Mini book kit! I love it! The Halloween mini book kit won't be done till after Halloween. This is going to be of my grandkids!! How fun!
I can't wait to start creating. Be sure you check out Wish on a Scrap Blog to see the great idea that the designers come up with! Also some great tutorials there!

Calendar Swap?

2008-10-09T10:47:00.002-05:00

Okay, so I joined in on a Calendar Swap! So unlike me, hate being put "under pressure"!!! LOL So far its going really good, always does the first part, second part gets scarry! Other things get in the way! But...not this time. I'm working on these till done! And I have to say, they are fun! I didn't know if I was going to like making 4 of the same thing, but its not bad! I do one thing, 4x's! Then go to the next 4 things! These calendars are for Magnolia-icious Yahoo Group. Chris is in charge of the swaps and is doing a great job with it all. I have July, August and September for months. July I thought was very easy. Using Magnolia stamps, this is Bandaged Tilda. Isn't she to cute! This is my first calendar and only have a total of 11 to go!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Winds of Change

2008-10-06T16:13:00.002-05:00

This was simple and fun. Not a lot of thought went into it, well I started with something else and ended with this. I used my cuttlebug and embossed with the swirls folder. Then I used my TH distressed inks and went over the swrils with a sponge dauber. The oval is from TAC and the Sentiment is also from TAC, Autumn Swrils.
Ribbon from Michaels. Most of the Holiday ribbon I like has wire in it, I just pull the wire out and have my ribbon! Don't let the ribbon with wire stop you from buying it! Awesome ribbons out there for the Holidays!!

Sledding Tilda

2008-10-05T14:52:00.003-05:00

I love the winter Tilda. How cute can she be! And she almost looks warm!
I colored her with my Prisma's and added Stickles to the fur. I used my Silver Sakura Gelly roll pen for the snowflakes falling. The big snowflake is from Imaginations. I picked up the great ribbon at Michaels in the Christmas ribbon isle. Less than $!! The scalloped edge is made by my SU scalloped border punch.
Fast card and very girly!!
I just posted and checked it out on my blog, and the camera is working BAD! This card is much more colorful than the blah way it looks on here! LOL
I'll have to have my hubby teach me!

Let's Dance

2008-10-05T14:01:00.003-05:00

This stamp is a long story!! There is a site out there called Dottie's World. They are computer DL's of stamps. And they are CUTE! I have been to that blog about 2x's a week to see if they have changed it to selling to the US. But nope, still just in the UK!! I have been stalking that site for tooooo long! So I am lucky to have a wonderful friend in London (love that word!! ;)), Katz who surprised me and bought this set for me! Of course I had to have this one, due to hubby in a band. Not that he looks like Elvis, but can't beat the music of the 50's and 60's! I was so excited!! While she was in Spain on Holiday, I told her I would get a card done! Well this is it! I had so much fun coloring this stamp!! Can't wait to try my other ones!

The Dark Card!

2008-10-05T13:50:00.003-05:00

I found this card to be really dark. I find a lot of comfort cozy in the dark, more relaxing. So this card might be a little to dark. I had to take it outside to get a decent picture of it! This is my 15lb. card! LOL
The image of course is a Tilda sitting, check out those glasses! I colored her with my Prisma's and googone. All paper is by TAC called Willoughby. Love those colors and how they go together! I had those fancy "paperclips" from CTMH. They were a gift to me. I used my Coluzzle to cut out the oblong piece, ribbon-stash! Flowers Prima's. The little tag up in the corner is also from TAC and I took wire and attached it to the brads. SU punch to punch out the corners. For some reason it took me forever to put this card together. I knew what I wanted but I could never find it!

Bling Birthday!

2008-10-03T14:00:00.003-05:00

Well here it is, the bling card. Her theme colors will be pink and brown so gramma made a card with pink and brown. The image is a Magnolia, Balloon Tilda. I end up cutting the balloon off and making my own version. The dc is by Doodlebug. I've had this paper for along time, knew I bought it for a reason! used my fiskars border punch on the middle scallop and SU corner punch for the corners. My nesties for the ovals and Prima's are the flowers. The "1" and the "balloon" I can't remember who they are by, but I do know they came in my August kit from Wish on a Scrap. Ribbon...stash! This card is a lot like the one I made for my other granddaughter on her 7th birthday, but yet, totally different. Well thats it!
Hope you enjoyed your stay here at IttyBittyInkSpots!

1st Birthday

2008-10-03T13:56:00.002-05:00

Well we have a first birthday in the family next week! What a milestone! Walking and babbling and enjoying all the new goodies yet to discover.
This is the first card I made for Reese. Was not happy with it, needed "more". I love the image! The stamp is by Penny Black and he is so cute! Being Reese's first birthday the card needed more bling. So this one will go into a pile for when we have a birthday for a one year coming up! And I know a few!
I will upload the card I made this morning, the one with the "bling"!!

Christmas

2008-10-03T13:49:00.002-05:00

Well almost "Tis the Season". I was just playing when I made this card. I started with the Tilda and colored her red and green. When I realized she had a sleeveless top on I didn't think I would finish her up for a Christmas card. But then when I thought of my friend who lives in AZ, figured it would be a perfect card for her!
I used everything from my stash. Used my fiskars punch and the Merry Christmas is a die from Sizzix. Ribbon in my stash and she was colored with my prisma's.
I love the colors, tis the season!

Well finally a card. This is spose to be good therapy, creating! So I'm trying to get in the swing of things again, after loosing my mojo for awhile!
These are my newest addiction, the HanglarStranglar stamps! I just think they are so cute. A friend of mine sent me a few images. You cannot buy these in the US and I sure wish you could. My ds paper is from TAC called Willoughby. I know I am NEVER going to run out of this. When things look low, I will get more! It is gorgeous paper! Nice heavy feel to it and they go together so nice! I used two of my Fiskar border punches. Threaded my ribbon through and tied my bow. Flowers are from my stash and are Prima's. And last but not least....I USED MY COPICS to color her! Every thing is colored with copics! I'm so proud! My colors are very limited and I don't see my collection growing in the near future, so its a good thing I have a few of the fall colors!

Hanglar & Stranglar

2008-09-19T13:30:00.004-05:00

Finally a card! Haven't been to creative in the last week. Lost my mojo! This stamp is by Hanglar & Stangla. A friend shared an image of her stamp. I LOVE THESE STAMPS! I really like her outfit! The card is 6x6. DS paper is from my collection of winter/Christmas stash. I used my Treading Water border punch by Fiskars for the side. I think I made it a little to big, should of cut it a bit more. All CS is from my stash and I used my oval Nesties to cut her out, but then I used the biggest one so I had to dig out my coluzzle for the back oval. I embossed with my Swiss Dots folder. Flowers are Prima's. Ribbon in my stash. Its a good thing I have a good supply of "stash"!! I used my Prisma's to color.

Cherry Tilda

2008-09-06T13:54:00.002-05:00

This card took me hours! Now I know why my other cards look so blah! LOL I've worked on this the last 3 or 4 days, off an on. A friend sent me Cherry Tilda and I have to say, she is my favorite Tilda out there. Isn't she cute! I can't tell you how many layers are on this card. With all the overlapping and bases and inserts, I lost track! I had all the card stock in my stash along with the ribbon. The flowers are from the Sept.kit from WishonaScrap. Perfect color! I used my Fiskars Treading Water punch of the edges. The cherries are also Magnolia stamps. I colored them and cut them out and attached them to the four ovals that were cut with my Nestibilities. I used an eyelet on the top of each one, using my crop-a-dile. Tilda and the cherries were colored with my Prisma's and googone. When I cut Tilda out I needed her to be more stable, her head sticking up over one of the pockets made her head wobbly and I thought maybe it would bend to easy. So after searching and trying to figure out what to use, I went for the old reliable popsicle stick. I broke it in 1/2, filed down the rough edges and attached it with my SooWang double sided tape from Diana Crick. I cannot remember where I found the pattern for the 4 pocket fold card. But when I find it, I will post it here. I want to give credit where credit is due.

The Sept Kit worked perfect for my Gift Bag Set! I found the tutorial for the bag at Stampin'With Di. I've made one before but I enlarged this one to be 6x2x6. I used my MS border punch for the bottom and top borders. I cut out a circle and used my round flower punch by Fiskars to make the design in the handle. I then used my Coluzzle to cut out a center hole, cut it in half, and there was my handle! The ribbon is some I had in my stash to tie the bag shut. I added a tag to my bag and attached it with a little key chain I found! I made 3, 5.5x4.5 cards to go into the bag. Stamps are from Studio G and ribbon is from the stash bin! All CS is from the Sept kit. What fun paper to work with! It sure had my brain working!

Halloween

2008-09-04T18:25:00.003-05:00

I have to say, I love using these colors! The image is by MFT. I love this stamp set! All cs was in my stash and ribbon and buttons were bought last year at JoAnn's! I colored both Witches with my Prisma's and used my dew drop and a dauber for the background. I put a purple bow on her broom, thought that gave it just a little more feminin look! I used my embossing folders to emboss the border and the orange cs.
This was a fun and simple card to make.

Tilda with Wine

2008-08-28T13:58:00.002-05:00

Finally had a little time to finish up a card. I started this one about a week ago and just haven't had time to finish it. This is Tilda by Magnolia Stamps from Diana Crick's, soon to be online store! The house is by AlottaRubberStamps. I used my prisma's to color the house and Tilda. I had the ds in my stash drawer and used Prima's for the flowers. RicRak, where else? JoAnn's $ bin! I used pop dots to give Tilda the 3D look.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone is having a great week.

Halloween Card

2008-08-23T10:06:00.002-05:00

I had so much fun making this Halloween Card! It took me a few days to figure out the placement of all my images and what I had to add, but I'm happy with the finished results. The pumpkins and moon are by RubberMoon I love their stamps! The cute Witch is by ThirdCoastRS, another great stamp site! And the house is by MFT. I did cut off the iron work at the top of the house, not that I wanted to, just couldn't cut it out right! I used my Prisma's to color everything BUT the house! I am proud to say, for the first time, I used my COPICS!!! WOOOHOOOO! I was happy with the way it turned out! I used my yellow Spica pen to color in the windows. The ribbon is from Michaels last year, Halloween clearence bin! Fun card to make because there is no limit on the color combinations you can use for Halloween!!!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I love coloring and putting together Halloween cards, It has to be the colors. You can use any color combination and get away with it! This image I received from a friend and couldn't wait to color it. The image is by My Favorte Things.
I had all the paper and ribbon and buttons. Used DMC floss on the buttons, and my Fiskars Threading Water border punch. I colored it with my Prisma's and used some chalk for the shadowing.

Tilda

2008-08-04T17:52:00.003-05:00

I was playing with a background today. I use my TH distressed inks and then stamped my swirls on top of that and added alittle bit of white dots to it. I liked the way it turned out so went looking for Tilda with the bow in her hat. I colored her up to match my background. I used my prisma's and googone. Ribbon I had, from you know where, and then i just tied bow to the strip of ribbon. Flowers are prima's sent to me by my friend Denise. I added a dew drop to each center. Used my nesties for the ovals. I like the way she turned out.
Thanks for stopping by, and hope everyone has a great week!

Inchies

2008-08-03T10:10:00.003-05:00

I made these for a swap. But I don't think I'll be making anymore, anytime soon! These are inchies, and I have never worked on such a small space! LOL, It was hard to find small enough things to put on them, I had a few, bellies were just about impossible! But I have them done, I look at them now and think, oh! cute, and thats as far it goes. At least I can say I've tried it!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

BD Card Envie

2008-08-01T09:51:00.003-05:00

I made this envie to go with Mariah's Birthday card. I didn't have a pattern for the 6x6 envie at the time, so I made my own. I had to cut two pieces for the envie. The flap is seperate. I used my MS border punch for the strip on the flap. I used my nesties with scallops for the center and moved it up just far enough to tuck the flap in. Waiting for some magnets! Card fits in there just perfect.
Thanks for looking and Happy FRIDAY!!

Mariah's Birthday Card

2008-07-30T08:12:00.006-05:00

Its hard to believe August 7th will be my first grandchilds birthday. I remember the day she was born. I remember how excited I was! After she was born, everyone was tired or shell shocked and I was the first one to feed her. It was a very long labor! I remember taking her in my arms and talking to her and telling her how special she was and all the things we were going to do together. At 2 weeks old, I took Mariah to meet her great gramma and grampa. 250 miles her and I drove. She was perfect! We stopped once for a feeding, she loved to ride! Mariah stayed with gramma every other weekend for one year. It turned out Mariah was very colicy! I figured mommy and daddy needed a break from sleepless nights. Of course colicy or not, she was perfect to me! She will be celebrating her 7th birthday! Where does the time go? We still have so much fun together. I don't get to see her as much as I would like now, they grow and get involved in dance, swimming, soccer and have their friends. But the times we do spend together are so special! Oh, and she loves to stamp with gramma!! She is really good too! LOL
I had to make a card that was extra special for her on her Golden Birthday. The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. This is Tilda with the balloons. Background paper is by DaisyD. I punched the green and pink (Bazzill cs) with my MS border punch. Dew drops on the side The large jeweled brads are by Heidi Swapp. Flowers by Prima. The 7, I'll get back to you on that, for the life of me I can't remember who its by, but they are fantatic! Almost everything came in the June or July kit from WishOnAScrap. Tilda with balloons by Magnolia Stamps. I colored her with my Prisma's and goo gone. I always paint the wings with So Soft fabric paint by DecoArt and a tiny paint brush!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creations!

Ethans Birthday Card

2008-07-26T12:37:00.002-05:00

August is a month for birthdays in my family! So I thought I might just get a head start on some of them. The hardest are the "boy" cards! My grandson Ethan, will be 6 in August and he's at the age where it can't be to cute, and can't be to not cute! LOL So I found a Edwin stamp, from Magnolia, and started coloring. Then trying to think of what to do with him, I had a window and curtain, I colored that up! I found old old dp in my stash and found the blue with stars, put that behind the window. The background Pine paper, is another oldie I had in my stash! I used my sizzix dies for the border, puppy and truck. Went together just like I wanted!
Thanks for stopping by!

Recipe Card Box

2008-07-25T07:52:00.004-05:00

I started this project a couple of weeks ago, I made the box and kept forgetting to buy my 4x6 recipe cards. Finally I picked some up so I could finish it! This was so easy and the end result is great. I found the tutorial for it here at
No Time To Stamp The dark red dot dp is by BoBunny. The paisley paper I have had and I think I got it off of ebay. I cut my toppers for the recipe cards at 1 1/2 inches. I wanted them a little longer on the card. I attached the tabs with a red staple. Generated Recipe off my graphics program and used my SU punches for the circle tag. Menu came from Clear Art Stamps "Kitchen Classics"!
This would make another great gift! You could do this up so many ways, not just for recipes! Easy tut if you want to try it yourself!!
Thanks for stopping by, and HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Tilda with the BIG Floppy Hat!

2008-07-24T14:57:00.002-05:00

Well, Tilda with the Big Floppy Hat is a story in herself! First, don't look for Tilda with the Big Floppy Hat stamp! You won't find her, anywhere! LOL A friend of mine, Denise, sent me some images of Tilda Stamps, until my order comes in. Last night looking through my images, this one caught my eye! I loved her hat with flowers! And how cute she was holding the strings that tie her bonnet on! I set everything up, Prisma's, googone, blending stump and started coloring. When I got to the lower right corner of her bonnet, I had a hard time figuring out the fine detail so I went on a hunt to find a finished Tilda with Floppy Hat! I searched and searched every blog I could find that had Tilda's with the hat. There wasn't a one anywhere! Well, you know why there was no Tilda with a Floppy Hat?? Because its not a floppy hat at all, its a garland jump rope! To late for me, already colored and lookin cute! So I continued with her and I love her! I think this is one of my favorites! Maybe because I think it is so funny! I love the turquois and lavanders together. My background paper is just some I had in my stash, I liked it because it just wasn't a flat turqouis, it has white in it. I used my swirls embossing folder. The corners are cut using my Architectual Accents Sizzix Dies. I used just a white cs on those and then used my dewdrop inks and blotted color on them. My swirl bleached chipboard is from the July Kit from Loreen. Also in the kit were these great rhinestone brads that I LOVE! I used my crop-a-dile to punch holes out and added the brads. Each flower (Primas) also have a brad in the center. Ribbon, where else? JoAnn Fabric in the $ bin! I used my oval nesties for the ovals and lightly went around the edges with my sponge daubers.
If anything, I had the best time with this card! We all see the world in a different way! I guess mine is hats! LOL
Hope everyone has had a great week! One more day till the weekend!

I colored her up last night. I didn't know for sure how the mushroom was going to turn out but, never colored one before. I used my prisma's and googone, one of these days I might shock you and say I used my copics, but don't hold your breath! LOL I just dug around in my bits and pieces and put her together. I think the colors are fun.
