Bouncing Brayer Technique

Here's a cool technique you should try!

Happy Graduation!!

Hello! Graduates are getting closer to there, well, graduations and I have a young lady who works for me who is graduating next week! Her school colors are black and silver so those are the colors I used!! I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge on my cricut and my gypsy and I used the numbers from the Designer Calendar cartridge. I added some bling and used a stamp from Teeny Tiny wishes made from Stampin' Up! I punched it out with some of there punches too!! Enjoy!

Strength and Hope

Here is a card I made using the new Strength and Hope stamp set from Stampin Up! Every set or digital download they sell, $2 goes to Breast Cancer research! It is such a beautiful set!!

Here is the card closed! I used sticky strip on the edge to bunch up my Pretty in Pink satin ribbon.

When you open the card it folds to the side to form an easel card. It stays up by resting on a rhinestone. I really like how this turned out!!

Beveled Windows and Nature Walk Set

I've had these windows for some time now and just couldn't figure our what I wanted to use them for. So I decided to have a crop night the Saturday before Easter and I gave everyone an Easter card with a treat when they got to the crop! This is one of the cards I made for them!!

Berry Sneaky Layout

I had a Last Minute Crop on Saturday night, yes the night before Easter, but I had a great turnout and this is the layout I completed. I finished one other but that was it! I usually don't get much done at my crops but I always have a blast!

I used the cricut preserves cartridge to cut out the strawberries and Wild Card fonts for the letters. I used Stampin' Up! border punch and the new Melon Mambo embossing powder from the Summer Mini Catalog for the "dip" on the strawberries! Didn't it turn out perfect?

Sunny Fun

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator we get to pre-order items from the mini catalogs so we can prepare for our workshops! I just love this set called Sunny Fun from the 2011 Summer Mini. Here is a quick card I made. I was in the mood to color and I used so many different Writer Markers I can't even remember all of them. I did use Daffodil Delight CS and the Daffodil Delight Grossgrain Ribbon. I LOVE this ribbon! I used the new bakers twine from the mini also and the brights collection buttons! Enjoy!!

Manly Birthday Card

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to show you this card I made for my boyfriends birthday tomorrow. He had been buying a lot of old cars lately so I thought this one was pretty appropriate! And guess what? This isn't a stamp!
All of the paper is Stampin' Up! I used the Naturals White, Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip card stock and the brass eyelets to decorate. The Happy Birthday stamp came from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and I punched it out with the Word Window punch and the label is punched with Chocolate Chip. BUT the car I copied and pasted to a word file from google images, printed it and then colored it with chalks! I just couldn't find the right stamp in my stash that would fit what I wanted to do, so this was a quick and easy fix. Not sure how long it will last being on printer paper but as long as it makes it to tomorrow, I'm fine with that! I hope you enjoy. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!
