A card Created With The Soon-to-be Released Spellbinders Card Creator Dies, DMC Threads, Art Glitter and Bling!

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Today is my day to share over on the CardMaker magazine blog and boy do I have something cool to share!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the AMAZING new Spellbinders Card Creator Dies before they are available to the general public. They will release very soon though, so I hope you will hop on over to the CardMaker blog and check out the fun card I created with them. I also used beautiful product from DMC Threads, Want2Scrap, Discount Cardstock, Art Gliter, and Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Here is a tiny peek at the card just to wet you whistle. ;)

Today is also my day to post on the Art Glitter blog. Head over there after you check out my card on CardMaker to see the fun necklace I created with a wood circle and glitter! :)

I hope you will leave me some ♥Love♥ at both places, so I will know you were there. :)

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Hello everyone and...

The designers from Really Reasonable Ribbon and The Rubber Cafe, have teamed up to share some fabulous creations with you!

You don't want to miss any of the girls projects! You also don't want to miss commenting on everyone's blogs to help with your chances of winning an amazing prize! :)

I used The Rubber Cafe's Large Trailing Butterflies and several colors of ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon's April Monthly Ribbon Club assortment for my card today.

I stamped the image twice on Discount Card Stock's Brilliant White, so I could pop a few butterflies, then colored them with Copic markers. 

The other papers are Banana Split and Nautical Blue, also from Discount Card Stock. After assembling my card, I added some pretty bling from Want2Scrap.

This is what the awesome April club assortment looks like.

A Big Bountiful Batch of Beautiful Butterfly Birthday Cards :)

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I have been asked by quite a few people if I would make some less expensive cards that can be mailed with a standard stamp. I will also be attending some events and craft shows later in the year and have decided to take some cards to sell with me. This is my very first "batch" of cards.

I used Clear Dollar Stamps super versatile "Birthday Celebration" set, designed by Lori McCroskey.

Card Recipe:

CDS STAMPS USED: Birthday Celebration

CS/PAPERS: Basic Grey's "Green at Heart", Flourishes white, Stampin'Up's Certainly Cellery

INK: Staz-On

ACCENTS/TOOLS: Sewing machine and assorted threads, Stampin' Up's scalloped border punch, Wizard with round and scalloped round Nestabilities, Cuttlebug and swirl folder, assorted Offray ribbon, Ranger Stickles in Stardust, Folk Art Wicker White acrylic paint

COLORING: watercolors

TECHNIQUES: watercoloring, stamping, sewing, dry embossing

SPECIAL NOTES: I forgot to punch holes in the scalloped boarder before I attached it to the card so I made the dots with acrylic paint....where there is a will....there is a way! 

I would just LOVE it if you would leave me a comment!

Hugs,

True :D

"Remember The Day's Blessings" Kitty Card

Tweet

Good Sunday morning to you all!

Hope you enjoy the last day of the weekend!

I am playing along with the girls at Split Coast Stampers this morning and the challenge is a "Featured Stamper" challenge #FS153. Today they are featuring Wendy's (AKA WeeBeeStampin) awesome gallery. How you play is to look thru that persons gallery and find a card that you would like to CASE (copy). You then have to create a similar card making sure you change at least 2 things to make it your own. I chose Wendy's "Dearest Friend" to base my card off of.

The CS is Bazzill and the DP is a piece of scrap...don't remember what company...sorry. ;(

The stamp is Inky Antics. I stamped it twice and popped some pieces.

Here is the link to my Split Coast Stampers gallery if you would like to take a peek.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE doing my highly detailed, complicated cards but it is also fun to do some more simple cards too. Hope you don't mind me sharing both types!

If you have not already signed up for my latest BLOG CANDY....no better time than the present. ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs,

True :D
