CASE CARD From splitcoast gallery


I confess I totally CASE'd this card off splitcoast. I just couldn't resist. I love that it is so simple yet still so cute! The origanal can be found here .
Thanks Susy B for the inspiration. I changed a few things:
-Still used the cuddle bug snowflake embossing folder.
-changed the stamp to a different Penny Black one though.
- used an EK success punch for the snowflakes.
- used a SU stamp for the sentiment.
Thanks for looking, please check out the origanal and the rest of Suzy B's gallery there are some great cards in it.

I just knew I had to make this card the moment I saw this paper from Daisy Bucket. The blue print is the reverse side of the paper. Added some brown polka dot ribbon and bling to the center of the flowers. Stamp is fromPenny Black colored with water colors. I Stamped the sentiment on a punched circle mounted on scalloped punch out.

First Tall Card


Just a quick post today, thought that I'd add a try at a tall card. Used soft sky card stock for the base and K&Company DP. The flowers down the right side are actually on the back layer of the card I used a Creative Memories negative flower punch so they add a light airy feel to the card. Image is from Penny Black Critter party clear Stamps. Happy Birthday Border is From SU, Sentiment is from SU Holiday Hedgehogs! Also pierced the edges on the front of the card.
Thanks for looking!

Christmas Card for my DH


Thought since its been raining and we've been having a thunderstorm this morning that I'd work on a Christmas Card idea that I came up with the other day. I used a PB stamp from the Every which Way set and added the present by cutting out only the present image from a stamp in the PB Critter party Set. Used the computer to print out the Merry Christmas and meet me under the mistletoe sentiments. Thanks for looking! Hope you give it a try.

Try at a Dad type B-Day Card


I have the hardest time with manly cards. I don't have that many suitable stamps so its a challenge.

This is for my Dads Birthday So I'm hoping I pulled it off.
