Birthday Friends



Hello Savvy Stampers!

Today's cards are some I did back in September for my mom's Birthday. I LOVE the Penny Black stamp with the pudgy pony! He's one of my favorite!

The cupcake card was one of the first time's I tried to make a card using the Cricut. So it's kinda plain and boring. My girls gave the Cupcake card to Grandma :)

He's Checking His List....



He's Checking His List...

I love this stamp but Rubber Stampede called "Santa Collage". I believe it's retired and going on EBay for unheard of amounts. Crazy! Mine arrived by mail yesterday (I paid regular price, not eBay prices!) and I had to get my hands on it! I ran in the stamp'n room to do a quick card tonight. Here's what I came up with!

Thanks for stopping by!

Under The Stars


Hello Savvy Stampers

I just love this set! This set is a Stampin' Up! set called Under the Stars. I also used Lovely As a Tree Stamp Set. (Very cool set! I use it all the time). Caulks, dimensional, Eyelets and Hemp.

I actually made two of these cards. One was for my Dad's Birthday. The other was a Thank You card for someone who brough over dinner after my surgery. I just changed the stamp set in Mr. Bears hands :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Savvy Stampers!

Card 9 of my "12 Cards of Christmas"

Like I said previously, I have been inspired by so many wonderful stampers on the web and I came across a beautiful card with a technique I had to try. This card, believe it or not was so easy to make! Probably one of the fastest cards in my whole series!

Techniques used are: First, Second and Third generation stamping. Caulk: Starting with the darkest on the edges of the card and working my way in toward the middle getting light and lighter with the pressure used and colors. Viola! a beautiful background to your card.
