I just had to show you this card today. Last night we had First FridayStamp Club at Esthers. We had been looking at this card for a few weeks and Esther we could do it for one of our cards at club.There were a lot of pieces to this card  thirteen to be exact so it is safe to say that this isn't a card to mass produce.  I really like the antique look of this card maybe I will try one more.

The stamp set is Artistic Etchings

Have a great Saturday!

  I didn’t get to post yesterday as planned we had a great fourth. So here are two more cards from me and Wanda. I can’t tell you how much fun we had doing these cards. I think maybe next time I will post the dimensions for the cards in case you would like to try it. If you don’t have a demonstrator feel free to use mine,Esther Boyle and she will gladly be able to help you.

 Well we made it through Monday again I hope everyone had a great weekend.  For my post today I want to show you some cards that a friend of mine and I made. When Wanda Plonk and I get together we always come up with some good ideas. From the start we decided that we were going to use only Stampin Up products and we almost did. Since we both got the new in colors cardstock and ink pad kit we decided to try them out along with the designer series paper called Floral District. Before we knew it five hours had passed but we came up with some pretty good designs.  I will list all the products that we used with each photo.

 Happy birthday Card:

Stamp set:  Betsy’s Blossoms
Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Very Vanilla
Designer paper: Floral District
Ink: Rich Razzelberry, Gumball  Green, Summer Starfruit
Punches: Modern label, 2 ½ “circle punch

For this card we went outside the box so to speak. The chevron pattern was made with stamps from papertrey ink. I’m not sure but I think the birthday wishes might be retired.

Birthday Wishes Card:

Stamp Set: Quint-Essential Flower, Background chevronstripes: papertrey ink
Cardstock:  Primrose Petals, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White,
Ink Colors: Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green, Primrose  Petal, Raspberry Ripple
Punches: Decorative label, 1 3/4” scallop circle, 1”, ¾”and ½” circle punch
The ribbon is ½” seam binding that we dyed using gumball green.  I came out really dark because we used the ink pad instead of using reinker.

I will post two more cards tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

  Well it time to crank up the blog again. I am going to try one more time to post every day.  I look at different blogs everyday for card inspiration and sometimes I find myself getting angry because there isn’t a new post for the day. This is no joke trying to do a card and post everyday to help inspire someone else. So thanks to the crafting bloggers that can keep up with the pace of one or even two or three blogs going on in a week.

  Ok for my post today, let me just say that I like using a lot of different brands I finally got my hands on the new ink pad in colors from Stampin Up and they are really hot. This is truly a great improvement. The colors are rich and the coverage is awesome. I also have one of the new stamp sets called Summer Silhouettes. If you like you can go over to my demonstrators site and view the  Stampin Up products.

  I made several sketches that I want to try with them. For my first card I used lucky limeade, crumb cake, summer starfruit,raspberry ripple and very vanilla. I used the top notes bigz die for my stamping surface in very vanilla.The leaves on the front I tried to create some dimension by stamping off once for one set of leaves and then stamping again for the other set.  I used the new Fancy fan folder for the background layer which also matches one of the stamps in the Summer Shilouettes stamp set.

If you would like leave me a comment and a link to your page so I can stop by.  Thanks for stopping by.

Playing catch up!

I know it has been a while since my last post but I didn't realize how long. It is hard to grab a minute to post during the summer with trying to figure out what I am gonna do to keep my son busy. I have had some Father's day cards on my mind but I am just getting the time to make them. I tell myself that I am gonna start early and not rush to get them done but it never works out that way. I have broken my camera so I am trying to take pictures with my iphone to post. They aren't perfect but I think you will be able to tell. A new camera is on my wish list.
I have several JustRite stamps that I have purchased. One set works really good for a masculine card. The set is called " By the sea " and it is pretty when you color it with copic makers. I am gonna post a few more cards that I have made tomorrow and Monday. This is the first one I hope that you will leave me a comment. Thanks have a great day!
