Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I made this card with the fun Our Craft Lounge set called Cheers. The balloons are colored with copic markers. The stars are all Fiskars punches, and the corner punch is from EK Success. Sara says this card is boring, she thinks it needs more sparkle and glitter! What do you think?

Smile

This week’s Inspiration Challenge comes from the whimsical children’s store Oliebollen. I was inspired by this orange onsie. The paper is Pumpkin Pie and Bazzill white. The pretty smile sentiment is from Verve. I also used a Prima flower and some sparkle gems.

Thanks for looking!

Thank You

I made this card for the limited supply challenge on SCS. Here were Wendy's rules: There are really only TWO rules for today's challenge. The first is to create a "thank you" or "Thanksgiving" type of card. The second (which is the kind of odd part - not sure where it came from, but I decided to use it) is to include a bird of some sort on your card somewhere.
I used the Hero Arts Thank You Cling image for my card, available at i {heart} papers I think these cling stamps are my new favorite stamps. I colored some of the image with copic markers and ran my PTI Sping Moss back panel through the cuddlebug using the Swiss Dots folder. The bird is a Martha Stewart punch. Don't tell Wendy, but after I posted my card, I took the bird off!

Happy Thanksgiving

How cute are these little Thanksgiving chicks! These adorable Stampendous Cling Plymouth Chicks they are colored with copic markers.The paper is from My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow, and PTI Chocolate. The sentiment is also a Stampendous Cling called Graceful Thanksgiving. If you have not seen these cling stamps before they are awesome, they are rubber cling and the image is printed on the back side so you can see where you are stamping the image....very cool! I also used Mercy's sketch challenge #47 for my layout! The Images and paper are both available at i {heart} papers.
