Cup of Smiles Card

Tweet

Hi again!
Wow...2 posts in one night. That is just not like me!
This card turned out so cute, I couldn't wait to share. It is done with a "The Greeting Farm" stamp set called "Cup of Stuff." It is one of the cards I am doing for my guest DT spot at the end of April.
The papers are "Core'dinations", "Bazzill Dots", and "Basic Grey."
This was my first ever "Gate Fold" card and I think I like the style. Look for more to come! LOL!
Please let me know what you think. :)

Whimsy Frog Card

Tweet

Good Sunday to you all!
Today's card is made with that cute little "Whimsy" frog. The papers are from two different "DCWV" stacks... Whimsy (ironicly) and Latte'. I glossed the frogs eyes, lilypad and water and added some dew drops, a flower, and ribbon but let the pretty papers be the best embellishment.
Please let me know what you think.

"Hope Your Day is Fintastic" Card

Tweet

Hello All!
This is the 3rd card I have completed for my "The Greeting Farm" guest DT stint. This image is from their newly released “Down by the Pond” set. I have popped parts of the fish then glittered her up and added some glass dew drops for bubbles. The inside sentiment reads “Hope Your Day is Fintastic.” I used “Basic Grey” papers on this one too.
Thanks for checking out my card!

"Dew Drops on Roses" Card

Hello All!
This is the 2nd card I have completed for my "The Greeting Farm" guest DT stint. I left it blank thinking that it would work for so many occasions. This image is from their “Fancy Fleurs” set. I have popped parts of the roses several times then added shine to the leaves and some on the roses to look like dew drops. I used "Basic Grey" papers on this one too.
Please let me know what you think.

~~~~~~ Attention....The blog candy give away is now closed. The winner was Jacilynn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello All!
I finally think I have got my blog looking pretty good so I want to show it off! LOL!
I am giving away some pretty awesome blog candy ...if I say so myself! I went shopping and found this really cute 12" by 12" glitter paper stack by "The Paper Studio" and some bling that I thought matched it perfectly. There are 2 packages of "K&CoMPANY" glittered and popped butterflies, a package of half pearls and gemstones both by "The Paper Studio" and 2 rolls of satin ribbon from "The Robert Stanley Collection." I think you have just about everything you need here to make some awesome cards or scrapbook pages! You can click on the pictures for a better look.
The catch you ask? You have to do a little work.

1) Become a follower of my blog...if you aren't already.
2) Mention my blog candy on your blog either in your sidebar or in a post, and add a link back to my page. If you would like my blog button for your page, email me and I will gladly send you the HTML code!
3) Come back here and comment under this post so I can go check out your blog to see your posting.
That is it. Easy as one, two, three!
I will have an online random picker draw names on Easter morning @ 8am Central time.
I will post the winner on my blog and notify by email or on your blog.

Thanks for helping me spread the word about my blog and good luck to you all!

My American Flag Card - My Original Artwork

Tweet

Hello All!
This is another card that I have done for a challenge. One of my favorite buyers (and friend) was wanting lots of cards to send to our troops so she created a challenge for "Thank You" cards. This is my first entry. Don't try this one unless you have TONS of time to spare! It was done with Core'dinations papers. They are papers that are lighter on the inside so that if you sand or distress them, it gets lighter. I hand cut all of the red stripes out of card stock them sanded each one individually to get the highlights. Same thing with the blue. I dry embossed the stars then sanded them to make them show up lighter. The pieces were intricately pieced together and glued in place. I then chalked in the low lights on the white. The Stars on the inside and envelope were done using the same technique. The "Bless You" stamp is from "Simon Says Stamp." The poem inside and the original artwork are mine.
Lots of work and love went into this baby! LOL!

Ha! This was such a fun card to make! It was done for a KDT challenge. It is my very first "spinner" card and I think I am hooked! For those of you that have never seen a spinner, the toilet paper roll on th front spins and rolls back and forth when you gently move the card.
The papers are Bazzill and the stamps are Stampin' Up.
