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!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Flower Chat

I made this card for the Inspiration Challenge on SCS. The inspitation site this week was a Better Homes and Garden Livingroom. I was inspired by the bright and happy citrus colors in the room. The image is from Hero Arts called Flower Chat, the flowers are colored with copic markers. The paper is PTI Polka Dot Parade, Summer Sunrise, and Bazzill orange. The ribbon is a Hanna silk. I ran the Martha Stewart punched butterflies through the paper crimper and added some sparkle gems. Thanks for taking a peek!

Merry and Bright or The Ten Minute Christmas Card

If you are from the Chicago area then you know that everything is measured in ten minutes. If you ask how far some place is we will never give you the miles, it always takes ten minutes, whether its five miles or twenty five miles. If you ask how long it takes to do something it always takes ten minutes. This card really took me seven minutes to make, but in Chicago time it took ten minutes.
My sister asked me to help her come up with ideas for her Christmas cards. She is not a card maker, so she wanted it to be simple yet elegant, and only take ten minutes.

To make this card I used Paper Source Red and PTI white paper. The Stamp is from hero Arts. I ran the background paper through the cuddlebug using the snowflake folder. This image is stamped in Memories Cherry Red ink and then gone over with the quickie glue pen and Hero Arts Prisma Glitter. I also used Martha Stwerts Border Punch. Thanks for looking!

Christmas Wishes

I made this card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS. The featured stamper is Card Crazy. You can view her gallery here. I chose to case this card for the challenge. This card was first made by StampOwl, then cased by TexasGrammy, then cased by Card Crazy, and now cased by me. It just goes to show you that a good classic layout is always in style. The Joy Image is from Hero Arts I embossed it with red tinsel ep, and colored in the leaves with a copic, and then used glitter. The paper is Yours Truly from Archivers in Opal Metalic, and the backround paper is from The Paper Company called Elegant Berry. Thanks for stopping by!
