Baby card


























Needed some baby cards. This one was done with a Cuttlebug folder and die cut. It was also slightly sanded so the white would show through. The white piece was cut as well with the die cut. Both were attached with double sided foam tape so they'd stick up some from the ribbon. The ribbon was attached with double stick tape. The bow was made seprately and then glued down. Simple, yet sweet.

Memory Box Holiday Card


















Not to be bugging you, but here's another suggestion for a nice holiday card. If you start now, you'll be thanking me come December! This card uses some of Dave's great paper. The stamp is also by Memory Box, and was embossed in white onto the Memory Box paper. Then that paper was mounted onto white card stock which was glued to the brown paper. The sentiment, also by Memory Box, was also embossed with white embossing powder. One sheet of this Memory Box paper goes a long ways when you are just using it this way.

Magenta Flower Card















Have you seen that whole section of Magenta stamps at the store? Hare dedicated a whole section for them back by the Distress pads. It looks great, and there are lots of samples that match the stamps that are there. Here is another sample that goes with one of the stamps. The image was inked in black and stamped onto vellum. Once the ink was dry, the paper was turned over and colored in with colored pencils on the back of the vellum. On the card front, a design image was stamped in pink onto the card. Then the vellum was glued onto the front of the card.

First Fall Card
























Think I'm rushing things? Well, to my defense, I saw my first set of leaves starting to change while up in PA this past weekend. We've been able to sleep with the windows open the last couple of nights, so maybe that's helped get me in the mood as well. Anyways, this card used a leaf punch done in several colors. The stamp is an oldie but goodie inked in black Versafine. It was stamped first, and that helped with the placement of the leaves. Another punch was used in the corners to create the nice shape. Makes for a fairly large card, but I liked the results.

Friend card






















I'm very blessed to have dear friends spread through out the world. So one of the things I like to do is send cards to them to let them know that miles may seperate us, nothing changes my affection for them. This card says it quite well. The sentiment was stamped in black and attached to preprinted paper. A row of self adhesive gems was added beside the words, and a thing satin ribbon was glued between the sentiment and the printed paper.

Bright birthday bling


























Got the glitter back out for this card. It was started with a cupcake sticker placed on a white paper. Twinkling H2O's were used to color in the cupcake. Then more small dot stickers were added to the cake. This was cut out and placed on a piece of sticker tape. Irridescent glitter was poured over the rest of the tape. The tape was adheared to another piece of white paper. The shimmery paper was embossed on the Cuttle Bug with the birthday folder. It was lightly sanded and attached to the card. Then the white piece with the cupcake was attached to the shimmery paper.

Butterfly bling






















This butterfly is actually a sticker. It was placed on the shinny blue paper. Dot stickers were added to give the blue sparkle. The butterfly was cut out and put on more sticker paper. Black glitter was placed around the butterfly. The sticker paper was then mounted onto a piece of black paper and this was glued onto more shimmery paper. The shimmery paper had been embossed with a Cuttle bug folder.
The shimmery paper was then glued to the black card.
