3 Wishes

Well, here I am again with a new stamp that I just got. This is "3 Wishes" by Sylvia Zet for SCACD. Isn't she just the cutest? And the surprise when a fairy pops out of the gift is just precious. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG07, BG72, E00, E01, E50, E51, E53, R20, R81, R83, R85, Y13, YR14) and Copic Spica pens (Turquoise, Buttermilk, Melon, Lemon, Pink). I also used Stardust Stickles on the stars.

The CS is Bazzill and the DP is Crate Paper's Curtains. The image is cut out with Spellbinders Circle die cut and layered on Spellbinders Scallop Circle die cut. The stars are punched out with punches by the Punch Bunch. The sentiment is a stamp by Stampin Up from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. It is inked with Stampin Up's Marina Mist. I used the Stampin Up Word Window and Modern Label punches with the sentiment. The pleated ribbon/lace is from Hobby Lobby.

I plan to enter this card in these challenges:

Flight of the Butterfly!

I'm sorry I have not been posting lately. I have been sick, but not the whole time. It seems like there is always something coming between me and my crafting lately. But, I did get this card made today for my aunt.

This little card is mostly made with Stampin Up products. This stamp set is the Flight of the Butterfly. And the butterflies are stamped with Pretty in Pink, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink. The sentiment is also stamped with Soft Suede. The large butterfly is punched out with the coordinating butterfly punch. The CS and ribbon is also from Stampin Up. The border punch and pearls are by Martha Stewart Crafts.

Fairy Wishes with Flowers!

Wow, it is already September. I don't know where my time goes, but it seems that I can't work my crafting in lately. But, today I decided that I am going to make a card no matter what. Our weather is just beautiful here today, so it was hard to stay inside.

This is a digi image by Wee Stamps. Isn't she just gorgeous? I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (BV00, BV02, E00, E01, E50, E51, E53, R20, YG11) and Copic Spica pens (Lavender, Melon, Lemon and Gold). I also used Stardust Stickles on her wings. The CS is by Bazzill and the DP is the Lilac Avenue Collection by Kaisercraft. I used Crafts Concepts In Bloom embossing folder. The sentiment was punched out with punches from Stampin Up (Word Window and Modern Label). I used Spellbinder die cuts with the image (Circle and Lacey Circle). The flowers were die cuts by Marianne Design Creatables and the pearl brads are by Recollections from Michaels. The leaves on the flowers were punched out with a punch from the Punch Bunch.

I have heat embossed the presents with Stampendous Silver Tinsel embossing powder. I then cut them out. The CS is by Bazzill and the DP is Mr. & Mrs. by Best Creation, Inc. I used 3 different ribbons from my stash to make bows on the three presents (Hot Pink, Light Pink and White). This was a simple card to make and I plan to enter it in these challenges:

It's a Boy!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today I bring you a card that I made for a baby shower. The baby is going to be a boy so of course it is in blue and white.

The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is by K & Company. The precious little baby is by Sugar Nellie. I have colored him with Copic Sketch markers. The embossing folder is by Sizzix. The lace is just some that I bought at the fabric store. The tiny pearls are by Martha Stewart Crafts and the button is by Basic Grey. I used the Spellbinder Nestabilities Label 10 on the image and the sentiment is punched out with the Word Window punch and the Modern Label punch from Stampin Up.

Here is the inside of the card:

The gingham check on the front of the card has a border that is punched out with the Scallop Edge Border punch by Stampin Up. I have used this same punch on the inside of the card. The origin of the sentiment is not known, but I used the same Spellbinder that I used on the front of the card to showcase it.

It's a Purple Happy Birthday!

Well we finally got a break from the 100 degree temps. After 44 days of 100 or more it only got up to 98 yesterday. The cloud cover was nice but we sure could use some rain now.

This is Candy Pip by Sugar Nellie. I thought she was adorable. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers (E00, E01, E87, R20, V000, V04, V06, Y21, Y23, YG03, YG13, YG17, YG91).

Christmas in August!

It's never too early to get started on Christmas cards. I know I waited too late last year and really had to push to get them out. So, here is my first one for this year. I went with blue and cream with a touch of red. This stamp is Dasher from Stampin Up. He is inked in Ranger Distress Ink in Faded Jeans and with Icicle Stickles. The snowflake stamps are also from Stampin Up and it is called Snow Swirled. They are also inked in Faded Jeans. The ribbon is from Stampin Up as is the CS. The button is from my stash as is the ruby blings. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes and is punched out with the scallop and oval Stampin Up punches. And lastly I did a border punch in snowflakes at the bottom of the card. This is from an EK Success punch.

Butterfly Wishes

Today I thought I would do something with butterflies. I have a couple great butterfly die cuts that I have been wanting to use. This is one of them by Marianne Designs Creatables. Isn't it just so pretty and delicate looking. I used CS by Stampin Up and the DP is by October Afternoon. The butterfly is out of some yellow CS from my stash and I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist to give it a little shine. I then used some bubble stickers from my stash to put on the body and wings of the butterfly. I used the Spellbinder Nestabilities Oval and Scalloped Oval die cuts. I also used the butterfly embossing folder from Craft Concepts. The flower is by Prima. The sentiment I typed up and punched it out with Stampin Up punches.

This cutie is from Make It Crafty. The image is Summer Dreams and she looks like she might be daydreaming.

There Was a Little Girl.......

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fablous weekend. I know I am. I got to go to my favorite scrapbook store, Archiver's. I just love that store. I can always find too much that I want. It is a good thing that it is an hour away, so I don't get there too often or I would be broke.

This little digi darling is Summer by Sugar Nellie. Isn't she just adorable. I thought she fit the Stamps R Us Challenge "There Was a Little Girl" perfectly. She is not quite a little girl anymore, but growing into a young lady. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (BG11, BG23, BG32, E01, E11, E50, E51, E53, E57, R81, R83). The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is from My Mind's Eye - Lime Twist - Happy Go Lucky. I used the Spellbinder Nestabilities Deckled Rectangle. The flowers are punches by Stampin Up and McGill. The pearls are from my stash. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes and it is inked in Stampin Up's Rich Razzleberry ink. It is punched out with two punches from Stampin Up. The ribbon/lace is some that I bought at a fabric store.

So, I had to get in another card. This is a digi image from Phindy's Place. She is having a good summer day with that chocolate ice cream. I used Copic Sketch markers to color her (E00, E01, E21, E35, R20, R81, R83, R85, RV00, Y13, Y15, Y21, Y23). I used a sketch from A Gem of a Challenge. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is from Dream Street Papers and Imaginisce Garden Party Collection. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps and is inked up with Early Expresso and punched out with a scalloped oval punch by Stampin Up.

This darling digi fairy is Ally from The Emerald Faerie Garden. She is so cute just sitting on the flower with her ladybug. She is colored in Copic Sketch markers (E00, E01, E35, E37, R20, R24, R27, Y06, YG23, YG25, YR02, YR04) and Copic Spica pens (Black, Lemon, Red).

I colored her with Copic Sketch Markers (B000, B01, BV000, BV00, BV02, BV04, E00, E01, R20, Y21, Y23, YR21). The CS is Stampin Up and I used paper from my stash and I do not know where it came from. Except the beaded oval is by Bo-Bunny. I used Spellbinder Nestabilities Oval and Beaded Oval die cuts. The flowers and large purple pearls are from my stash and the tiny lavender pearls are from Martha Stewart Crafts.

Dragonfly Flight

Sometimes the camera is not too kind. This picture of my card does not do it justice. The blue cardstock is really a bluegreen and blends really well with the designer paper, but does not in this picture. Anyway, this is what I have today.

This little image is by Elizabeth Bell for Belles and Whistles. And it is called Dragonfly Flight. She is so cute. She is colored in Copic Sketch markers (BG70, BG72, E00, E01, E31, E33, E53, YR000, YR00, YR01, YR02, YR04) and Copic Spica pens (Silver, Clear, Melon). I used Stickles Icicles on the dragonfly wings and Diamond on the little fairy's wings. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is by My Mind's Eye - Stella Rose - Mabel. I used the dragonfly embossing folder from Craft Concepts. The flower is by Prima and the button is Basic Grey. The twine is Honeydew from The Twinery.

There's Magic in the Air!

Isn't this just the sweetest image? This adorable fairy is Wee Snippet by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps. I think she is just the cutest. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (BG05, E00, E01, E50, E51, E53, R02, R83, R85, YG03, YG06, YG11, YG13). I also used Copic Spica pens (Clear, Melon, Baby Blue) and her wings are covered with Stardust Stickles. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Watercolor Bouquet by K & Company. The mushroom cap is paper pieced with some of the DP. Here is a close up of the image.

The Cuttlebug embossing folder was used on the scalloped circle. I used Spellbinder Nestabilities Circle and Scalloped Circle. The butterfly is by Flora Doodles and the pearls are from my stash. This pretty flower is by Prima. I thought is was so pretty and looks like something that you could make pretty easily with the right material and die cuts. Here is a closeup of the flower.

Fun in the Sun!

Fun in the Sun! That is the theme lately on a lot of the challenge blogs. I sure would like to be floating in the pool right now. But, the filter had some problems and the water is green. Thank goodness the pool service is working on it.

This little cutie sure is having fun in the sun. This digi image is one I got the other day from Stitchy Bear Stamps. It seems to fit the theme perfectly. She is colored with Copic Sketch markers (BG01, BG11, BG15, E01, E11, E31, E33, G14, Y00, Y02, and Y23). I used Stickles in Waterfall on the water.

Fun Times

Well, it has been a few days since I last posted, but life has been busy. We finally got the yard in and it looks great. I took a class on quilling, so you get to see my first attempt to embellish a card with it. Not the greatest, but okay. The center should have been a little bigger I think.

Anyway, on to the card. This is an older Maggie called Tilda with a Swimsuit and the Bridge Deck from the Party and Vacation collection. But, I think she is so cute. She is colored iwith Copic Sketch markers (E00, E01, R20, YR12, YR14, B41, B45, Y23, Y32, W1, W3, and BG01). I used the Waterfall Stickles on the water and Stardust Stickles on her wings. The CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Making Memories' English Garden. The sun I quilled with yellow graduated quilling strips from Quilled Creations. The sentiment is from TLC Creations and is punched out with a punch from Stampin Up. The flower is from Martha Stewart Crafts and the ribbon is some I got from Hancock Fabric Store.

Have a Sunshiny Day!

It has been another loud day around my house as the workers returned to continue putting in my sprinkler system. I have one pup that is 7 months old and she barks and barks. This afternoon has been much quieter and I had time to make a card.

This cutie is from Pollycraft Stamps and it is called So Tall. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers (E00, E01, E23, E25, R20, RV21, Y06, Y15, Y17, YG06, YG11, YG13, YG17, YR00, YR01, YR02, and W3). I also used a Copic Spica pen in Peach. The CS is Bazzill and DP is Basic Grey's Sweet Threads. I used a Sizzix embossing folder and Spellbinder Nestabilities Circle and Scalloped Circle. I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch out my lace from the CS. The flower and leaves were made using punches from the Punch Bunch. They are made out of the DP. The yellow button is from Basic Grey and the orange one is from my stash. The sentiment is punched out with punches from Stampin Up.

My CS is Stampin Up and the DP is Imaginisce Garden Party. My image is colored with Copic Sketch markers (B45, E00, E01, E31, R20, R81, R83, R85, Y23, YG11, and YG13).

Summertime!

Well, don't this look like fun! Relaxing on the beach soaking up some warm rays. It has been a couple of years since I have been to the beach. It's only about a 5 hour drive, but seems forever to get there. Oh, but there is nothing like fresh seafood.
