Rich Razzleberry Stippled Blossoms

Today's card is my last May stamp a stack card.  All I have to say is if you're anything like me don't try designing your cards after midnight.  It took me three tries to get this card right because I kept stamping my leaves in the Rich Razzleberry ink instead of the greens!  I love how it turned out once I finally got it right though! lol

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card is another one of my May stamp a stack cards.  This is definitely another card that is not the norm for me.  Well the sponging is, but something about it is not my normal style.  Not sure if that makes any sense to anyone else, but it does to me. lol  I need to broaden my horizons and stretch myself anyway. :)

Pretty in Pink Mixed Bunch

This is a card that's a bit different than what I normally do, but I really like it. :)  It's one of my quick and simple May stamp a stack cards.  I must admit this is probably the retiring color that I'm going to miss the most. :'(

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love & Laughter

Today I have a couple of small and simple cards that I made for a couple of bridal showers going on at church.  I try to make them in colors that match what they are using in their wedding, but sometimes it's just a guess. :)

This pic shows the color and sparkle a bit better than the other one.

RHSSC - Stippled Blossoms

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge card.  I finally bought the Stippled Blossoms set and used it for our challenge this week.  I really like how this card turned out.  Not that I don't like my other cards, but sometimes some cards just stand out more than others to me. :)  Don't forget to check the Red Hot Stampers' blog HERE to see what the other ladies made.  Lots of great, but different ideas using this design.  Why not give it a try yourself this week and show us what you made? :)

I actually did something on the inside of the card this time too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Happy Birthday to my Mom

The other day my dad asked me to make a card for my mom for her birthday (from him, of course) and I said sure. :)  So I got busy looking at some sketch challenges.  I saw the one from this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments and had an idea pop in my mind right away.  This is what I came up with.  Can you tell what her favorite color is?  :)

Of course I needed to make her a card from me and my family so I got to work again and ended up using the same sketch challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments and the SUO (Stampin' Up! Only) challenge.  This week's challenge is to use one of your favorite retiring sets on your card.  I have a couple of favorites and Elements of Style is one of them.  So so sad to see this one go. :(  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Dolled-Up Birthday Samples

So I finally got a chance to sit down and make all my cards from the Dolled-Up Birthday set that was designed by Chris Gilmore.  I have to say I love this kit!  It was so nice to sit down and not do any of the prep work, but have everything I needed right in front of me. :)   I actually made the original card last (I did change where the flower was at though).  Yes, that means I played around with different ideas.  Why did I make different cards?

When I opened the kit I it didn't have a picture of what the cards were supposed to look like.  No problem though!  I just decided to make what ever came to my mind using almost only what was in the kit.  I added dimensionals and spritzed shimmer paint.  That's it.  I wanted to see what I could do with pretty much just the kit.  Now on to see the rest of the cards I created in the order I made them...

And a group picture. lol

If you'd like to order this kit just click HERE.  It's $15.95 plus S&H.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
