Indian Summer

Hello Dear Friends!

I have another card to share. This time I used the gorgeous Wyanet (from Wee Stamps). I colored her with Copics, ProMarkers & ShinHan Markers. I added a bit of a glitter with Stickles. Papers are ancient that I've got from Archiver's (by Bo Bunny) I bet at least 5 years ago. Ribbon is from Papertrey Ink (Dark Chocolate) and flowers are from my stash. 

Easy peasy ....

Enjoy!

Good Evening Everybody,

One of my sweet Friends just celebrated her Birthday and this is the card I made for her. 

The image is called Happy Hour by Kenny K. I colored her with Copics & ProMarkers & ShinHan. I love all of them - and they seem to work well together too!

The papers are old from my stash. I haven't bought new paper in aaages, so I don't even know what's new.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I can't wait to run out of Roses, I am eyeballing those cute Sweetheart Blossoms & Chrysanthemums. The lacy ribbon is from American Crafts and I really love this one - I wish I could find more - as I am just about to run out. I used a little bit of 3D Crystal Lacquer on the glass and sparkle Stickles on the dress & flowers.

Hello there,

I have a new sweet card to share with you. My youngest daughter is three, so I am just about entering "the baby fever" stage ... I hope it passes soon!!! xixixixi

For the first time I used crackle paint. It's amazing to me that I have all these supplies and these amazing ideas to use them for, but hardly ever do  ... I must change that!

I was inspired by Mariska's card, but this time I did not use her absolutely fabulous 3D technique, just a simple image (colored with copics & promarkers).

Homemade Bath Salts & Card To Go With It

Hello there,

I have been trying to do this project (I was originally inspired by Lisa at Poppy Paperie). I just love her simple style and the set she has designed Just for You (at Papertrey Ink). It is one of my favorite.

Anywhoo... here is the card and a little package with the Bath Salts.

I used Epsom Salt (1 cup), Baking Soda (1 tbs), Vitamin E oil, Grapefruit Fragrance & Orange Coloring (both from Hobby Lobby).

It smelled divine! Yum!

The card was made with Kraftin' Kimmie's Image and Graphic 45 Papers (one of my all time fave). I even  got to use my new Spellbinder Borders (Scalloped #1).

The Front

The Inside Stamp is from the Just Rite Keep Calm Collection (absolutely wonderful). I think I do need to get the die with it  - or need to figure out how to do the silhouette cut with it, so it can look a lot better.

The Inside (of the Card)

I gave it to my sweet friend Angela, who is one of the sweetest and most wonderful friends.  We've just met this year, but I feel like we've known each other forever!

I hope you enjoyed this & don't forget ... there is more where this came from, so 

don't forget to order yours! :-)

Card no. 119 - Kraftin Kimmie + Few Challenges

Oh, my ...oh, my  ... it seems like forever I had a chance to craft.  I've just been so busy, working full-time, taking care of my two sweet girls, my husband, household, everything ... I am sure ya'll know what I am talking about .... well, the little time I had left in my day, I would be so tired I would fall asleep or i was so tired, I couldn't lift a finger.

Anywhoo, I made this card on my sister's request - she needed a birthday card ... so here it goes ...

The Front View

I honestly don't even remember the papers - I think I've got them last year at Archiver's. The cute image is Kraftin Kimmie's Vivienne - I colored her with ProMarkers, few Copics and I also used A LOT of Spica Markers to color over - to add a little sparkle.  Ribbon is American Crafts, flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The rhinestones, pearls and doily are from Michael's.

I must admit - and I did before - I just loooove yellow - such a happy and cheerful color. I am excited the card was delivered on time and liked. ♥♥♥

The 3D Detail

I also used the lovely Sketch Saturday's Sketch #186 on this card. I also used the lovely Sketch Saturday's Sketch #186 on this card. Cardstock is Bazzill from Michael's and DP from Graphic's 45 Christmas Collection. I added JoAnn's Rhinestones, lacy ribbon, American crafts ribbon and Wild Orchid Craft flowers. The beautiful sentiment is from Whiff of Joy (I just masked off the Christmas Tree part). The Spellbinders used were Labels 18. The super cute angels are a Lili of the Valley image,  3D-ied and colored with Copics and ProMarkers. The 3D process on this one was a wee bit more complicated, but I am happy with the results. I also added Star Dust Stickles.

Card no. 117 - Sketch Saturday #1

I have two cards to show you today, but I separated them into two posts.

I am super duper busy today, because we're leaving to see our grama  Heather, who lives in Park City, Utah.

It will be a little climate shock for us, since the weather in Phoenix is lovely at 55 of, where PC has only 23 oF. Yikes!

Anyways, the couple of cards made yesterday were given to my two lovely co-workers/boss - Betsy & Susan. And to brag a little, they also have got a HUUUUGE Costco-sized Chocolate Box. Yum!

This one went to Betsy. And it's the first of two.

The Front View

The 3D Detail

I used the lovely Sketch Saturday's Sketch #186 (on both of them). Cardstock is Bazzill from Michael's and DP from my stash. I added JoAnn's Rhinestones & lacy ribbon, and Wild Orchid Craft flowers. The beautiful sentiment is from Whiff of Joy and so is the die cut. The Spellbinders used were Labels 21 (I think). The super adorable angel is Lili of the Valley image,  3D-ied and colored with Copics and ProMarkers.

I added a bit of Stickles ... and voila ...

Card no. 116 - A gift for Ms. Usher & a special Saturday for my sweet Hannah

Happy Sunday everyone!!! 

My sweet Hannah turned 2 yesterday, so we had a fantastic Tea Party planned for her. 

Everything went well - I even made my very first birthday cake! 5 layers, each different shade of pink ...  well, it did have a "loopsy" side ... but it tasted wonderful :)

I even made a birthday t-shirt using Silhouette - I was so happy with the results.

And here is my sweet birthday girl...

Well, I also made a special Christmas gift for Lana's teacher on Friday, because it was the last day of school before the Winter vacation. I made her Grapefruit Bath salts with vitamin E. It smelled so yummy...

Here is the whole package:

And here is the card:

Base Cardstock is Bazzill from Michael's, DPs are from Graphics 45 (the Magic of Oz Collection) and Making Memories (Paper Reverie - Sienne Floral).
The super cute image is from Whiff of Joy, colored with ProMarkers & Copics, and so is the sentiment. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Recollections by Michael's. The rhinestones are from JoAnn.
The border punch is Martha Stewart and Spellbiners used are Labels no. 10 and Lacy Circles.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy ...

Card no. 115 - Merry Christmas - Whiff of Joy Angel

Oh, such a busy busy week (and weekend). I have been working a lot, which is great, but I don't get much of my "mommy" playtime! I also have been moving furniture this weekend as I have decided to move my craft corner to my bedroom (my hubby wasn't thrilled), but both my girls would take and misplace "my" stuff and oh, they would snatch my markers and Hannah (will turn 2 this Saturday) would color the walls, etc. .... just not fun.  Anyways, I set up my workstation in the bedroom and when we have a huuuuge house (one day) I will have my own whole room just for crafting .... 

OK. Enough blabling ....

Here is a first quarter of a order placed after our Fundraiser back on December 6th.  The order was 12 Christmas cards ... I have already sent them, but haven't had a chance to post them.

This is a Criss-cross card, using a gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamp from last year's Christmas collection, colored with Promarkers and Copics. I added Stickles and Spica Copics.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Cardstock is Bazzill from Michaels and DP is ... shoot! I can't think of the name right now ... sorry.

Rhinestones are from JoAnn, ribbon is Papertey Ink, border is punched with EK Success border punch. I aged the edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks (Old Paper, Tea Dye, Antique Linen).

The inside sentiment stamp is a Inkadinkado stamp from several years ago.

Card no. 114 - Happy Birthday my Beautiful Friend!

Happy Thursday Everyone!

I have a suuuper busy week - but I love being busy ... so (((Yay!))) for me.

I have managed to squeeze in a bit of crafty time and made this little cutie for Lana's sweet little friend.

The image is by Tickled Pink Stamps - the sweet Lil' Pinkette Coraline.

She is colored with Copics & ProMarkers.

I also added Stickles (Stardust, Diamond) to the image.

The Front View

The papers I used are pretty old (I had them FORever) and I have no idea where I've got them or who they are made by. The cardstock is from Michael's - Bazzill Basics I have used a ribbon from JoAnn, a bunch of beautiful flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts, Kaiserkraft rhinestones.

I made a little pin using beads. Super easy-peasy!

The Image Detail (sorry, a little blurry)

The inside is very plain & easy - I was in a hurry to make this card and I think I made it in about an hour, which is few days less than usually.

I taped Coraline and inked just the cake and used is as a little complimentary stamp on the inside.

The Inside View

The words used are from one of those "Wordsy" sets from Hobby Lobby.

That's it from me for today!

Hope you're all are having a fabulous week!
