Christmas Cheer

Today I thought that I would share with you a card that I made for Wednesday's Sketch challenge over at Splitcoast...I used my Snowman for Peace set from Whipper Snapper Designs...I swear I just can't get enough of this cute snowman and all the possibilites...I made the snowflakes from a punch that I bought at a scrapbook store and added a touch of bling with some red rhinestones...I colored in the hat and scarf using my copic markers and added some glitter to the snow and all the snowflakes...it's a little hard to see in the picture...I sponged the edges of the red polka dot paper with my Stampin up Chocolate Chip ink pad and also popped up the snowflakes with some foam mouting tape, I just love that stuff!! This was a fun card to make...thanks for stopping by!!

Cheerful Blue Bird

Sorry that it has taken me so long to post but things have been really busy around here...Today I thought that I would share a card that I made for a coworker who had to put her dog to sleep yesterday and could use some cheering up...I decided to use my Fun & Fast Notes stamp set from stampin up...I just love this little birdie image and thought that it would be perfect to use for this occassion...I colored in the image with my copic markers, popped up the flower with foam mounting tape and added a little bit of bling to the center with a rhinestone...I used last weeks Splitcoast sketch challenge as the base for this card...The DP is from a set of patterned paper that I purchased from Joanns and the yellow ribbon is a left over scrap that I found in my fiber drawer...I try to use scraps whenever possible!! LOL...To finish off the card I used my mat stack and paper piercer from stampin up to add some texture...I hope this card cheers her up and helps to brighten her day!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Fall is here!!

Today I thought that I would share with you a card that I made for this weeks sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers...I just love fall and realized that I have absolutely no fall-ish cards...So that was the theme I was going for with this challenge...I used my Loads of Love stamp set from Stampin up and some DP that I purchased from Joanns a couple weeks ago...I just love the truck image in this set and nothing says fall to me like a truck full of pumpkins!! I used my large eyelets and polka dot ribbon to embellish the card...For the sentiment I used my cuttlebug and nestabilities along with the phrase "Happy Harvest" from the accessories stamp set...I added some glitter to the wheels and bumper using my copic glitter pen and aged the edges with a sponge and my Chocolate Chip ink pad...I love the way this card turned and I hope that you all like it too...Thanks for stopping by and Happy Friday!! I will be back later with a card for the Taylored Expressions Weekend Skectch Challenge..so check back!!
