Koala Bear

This one was just too cute not to share even though it has a glue smudge on it. I was soooo upset when this happened, but it's just a sample so we'll just over-look it. We made these at our stamp class a couple of weeks ago and I think this little guy is just too cute.

More Fun With Punches

At the last stamp class I went to we made cards using punches. This is one of the ones we made. I think this one is really cute. We used the Scalloped Circle Punch to create the "bites" and the Word Window Punch for the sticks. The Ice Cream Bars were done with the Key Tag Punch. Doesn't this make you want to run out and get an Ice Cream Bar right now????

Punchy Monkey

I had so much fun making this card today. I made it for one of the little girls I take care of who is turning one next month. The monkey was done using assorted circles punched out of Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Basic Black and Whisper White card stock. The mouth was punched with the large oval and cut down. I used Pink Passion, Basic Black and Whisper White for the card and layers. I stamped the Happy Birthday using Fundamental Phrases and cut out the 1st with a Sizzix Sizzlets Alphabet die. I'm not 100% sure I like the way this turned out and may re-do it, what do you think?

Birthday Wolf

My granddaughter loves wolves, so every year I try to come up with an idea for a birthday card using wolves. I try to keep it as feminine as possible. I saw this layout somewhere on Splitcoast and thought I would try it with the wolf stamp from Wildlife Reserve. I used her favorite colors, black and purple. The center stamp is from So Many Scallops. I really like the way it turned out. I still can't believe she's 16!

Bleaching

I went to a stamp class Saturday and this is one of the cards we made. All the cards were done using punches. On this one we punched the window and adhered it over the image. The image was done using the Bleaching technique. This is the first time I've ever done this technique. I love the way it turned out and will be doing it again. I'm leaving tomorrow for a few days so I won't be posting again until Friday. I'll be back with a lot of pictures to share. Have a great week and thanks for looking.......Rita

Baby Wipe Butterfly

Pun Fun

Good evening everyone. I'm posting three cards today to make up for some days I missed. These are from the May Card Kit I got from Barb Mullikin. We used the Pun Fun stamp set for this month's cards. I love this set because it is so versatile. Aren't these just toooo cute?

Seeing Spots

I made this Thanks You card with the Seeing Spots stamp set from SU. This was so quick and easy I think it took me about ten minutes to complete......Thanks for looking and have a great evening!

Happy Memorial Day

Let There Be Light

I am so happy, I can now see what I'm doing. We had this fan and light installed today in my craft room. It was so dingy in there I had trouble seeing and now it's really bright. This is another card I did with Aly's card kit. It's the same color scheme as yesterday. I used the stamp set Eat Cake on this one. Thanks for looking and have a great Holiday weekend. Stay safe.........Rita

Celebrate

This is one of the cards I made using my Card Kit of the Month from Aly Schilling. I don't have the stamp set she used so on this one I stamped the star from Classic Backgrounds on Barely Banana card stock and cut it out. I then mounted it on the Very Vanilla with dimensionals. I used the small stars from the same set to stamp the background on the Sage Shadow. Other colors used were Chocolate Chip and River Rock. Thanks Aly for the design.......Thanks for looking..Rita

Workshop Card

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday already. I wasn't feeling well Monday and went to bed early and forgot to post something. Last night was the two hour finale of Dancing With the Stars and again I forgot to post something. So, today I have no excuses.
This is a card I made at our last workshop. The center of the small star is stamped wow! I thought it would be cute to put It's your Birthday again? on the inside. What do you think?

Dahlia Fold

This is one of the cards I made at last weeks work shop. We did the Dahlia Fold and I chose to do the full circle. I punched out the circles with the Scalloped Circle Punch and Afternoon Tea DSP. I glued a brown button in the middle to make it look more like a flower. This was pretty time consuming but the end result was worth it......Thanks for looking and have a Blessed weekend.

Boy/Girl Birthday

I got the layout idea for these cards from someone at SCS, I wish I could remember who it was. I used Swiss Dots Embossing Folder on the top half and DSP on the bottom half. The flowers have Stickles Glitter Glue in the center and I punched the center strip using Fiskars Border Punch, Eyelet. I thought these would make a nice gift set since you can make them for just about any occasion. Thanks for looking.~~~~Rita~~~

Rock and Roll

I made this card at the last workshop I attended and I can't remember what colors we used. The stamps we used were True Friend stamp set and Print Pattern Background. The technique used was Rock and Roll. We added a gold brad to the center of the flower to finish off this quick and easy card..........Thanks for looking!

Celebrate

This is one of the cards we made at the last workshop I went to. We used the felt flowers from Flower Fusions. If you don't look too closely you won't notice that I punched the ribbon slots crooked. Oh, wait, I think they were supposed to be that way.....Thanks for looking~~~Rita

Sparkling Glitter

I just love the sparkle of glitter and this is no exception. We made this card at the last work shop I attended. the stamp set is Bud Basics and we added ultra fine glitter to the center of each flower. This is such a pretty card. Click on the image to enlarge and see for yourself.

Anniversary

This is the same card I made for my Pastor and his wife for their Anniversary. The only difference is the other card says Happy Anniversary. I used the stamp set One of A Kind and matching punch, Berry Bliss DSP and a Ribbon Slide from the new Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. The card stock is Pretty in Pink, Close to Cocoa and Whisper White. All these supplies are from Stampin' Up. The top of the card was embossed using the Cuddlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. I just love the way this card turned out. Now I'm off to my Bible Study. Thanks for looking~~~~Rita
