My Granddaughter's birthday card

 This is the birthday card I made for my granddaughter's birthday!

I gave it to her soon after I finished making it...so I didn't take enough time to get a better photo of it.

The stamp I used to make this card is from Hero Arts and called "The sky is the Limit.

I used copics to color this card... (hubby colored the Yellow balloon for me) I sponged the back ground and fussy cut the images. The clouds were cut out with a die from  Sweet and Sassy stamps!

And Yes, she has been up in a hot air balloon!  She is much braver than her grandmother!

The heart of Christmas

 I hope this looks like a Christmas card and not a Valentine's card!

I made this card using  Rubber stamps Tapestry...

If you haven't heard of them before...it's wood peg stamps.  You stamp each leaf, each flower, each vine, etc.   with a small round rubber stamp.  I actually like using them because each card you make will be little bit  different. 

I added a heart stamped and cut out with a die (sweetNsassy)

added some red and green gems to the wreath, and used dimensionals to pop up my cut out heart and sentiment.

Christmas card number 2

 I'm using some more of my new Supplies for this year's batch of Christmas cards.  This is a die cut from Stampin' Up called Aspen Trees.  I stamped some birds from a sweet and Sassy Stamp and just added a purchased greeting...

VSN

 I made this card for two challenges at Split Coast Stampers.  This weekend is VSN.  I have only done one of these card making events before.  Now I realize why..  I am two slow.  (actually I already knew that).  You have to make your card in under an hour.  I did make the card in under an hour.  (But Just barely within my hour limit.  It should have taken me 10 minutes.

You had to your embossing paste and a stencil.  I used to make Many of my cards using that technique all the time.  But it has been a while...  Most of my pastes seem dried up  (another thing for me to go through in my craft room)  I did find a gel and then it wasn't the color I wanted so I added some reinker to get the color I needed.  

Thank you for visiting my blog,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Layered retiform Card

 This is a card that I made for this week's Technique Lover's Challenge at Splitcoast stampers .  

I have to honest ...I didn't do a great job with the technique...after 3 tries...(that didn't work)  I used my background paper as a frame for my card.  Your over supposed to layer your colors over each other.  I didn't do something right.  They all kind of turned out the same ...looking like mud.

So I did my own thing...smile

My stamped image is from SweetnSassy (Morning Glory)  I heat embossed it and colored it with copics.  and Used a die cut from Spell Binders to frame my picture.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.

Yes, Another Christmas card

 I hope starting tomorrow to make a card that isn't a Christmas card.

But as I said before...It's such a good feeling to know I am getting some cards done for my stash.

I made this card using a stamp from  Sweet n Sassy. (Baked for you)

I colored the images with copics, added some stickles to hopefully look like sugar sprinkles.  Then fussy cut them out.  My sentiment was made using a Penny Black Die.
