New Cuttlebug!

Hello all! Sorry about not posting. My kids all decided to get sick in a 2 week period. They are all now healthy and after a week of trying to get organized, I think life is back to normal! So, since my last post, I got a lot of new birthday goodies! A Cuttlebug and a new digital camera. Another reason for not posting is trying to figure out my new camera! I think I know what I'm doing now, so here are some cards I made with my new Cuttlebug using the Birthday Embossing folder. I also used Stampin' Up! paper and the set Eat Cake!

Wild Rose

Here are some cards I made straight from the Wild Rose Inpsiration sheet. I have no idea why I didn't start using all my sheets. They are fabulous. So quick and easy and with all the directions, it's a no brainer. And, the cards turn out so great. I don't think I would have come up with these designs on my own. I think the cool thing about the second card, is I only used one color to do the 2 step stamping. First, I inked the Rose with Perfect Plum ink, stamped on scrap paper, then onto Very Vanilla. Then the outline image was Perfect Plum on top. Same technique with the leaves with Always Artichoke ink. So, if you want to use your 2 step stamps with one ink color, this is a great way to do that!

Another Purse!

I think I'm addicted to making these now. The second one went MUCH faster than the first. I think I have this figured out now. If you're interested in making these, email me for the directions.

Too Darn CUTE!

So, since my kids are all sick today, I was off to Walgreens to stock up on medicine. I was walking through the magazine section when I spotted this magazine called Stamp It! It's the Spring 2007 issue. I started looking and saw this adorable purse box with matching notecards. I just had to buy the magazine and come home and make it. Mine is a little different, but close. I used the Paisley stamp from the Polka Dots & Paisley stamp set with Versamark ink on the Pretty in pink cardstock. Then I stamped the K from my Headline alphabet set and framed the letter with the stamp from Lable Classics. I just think this is cute. The purse easily holds 6 note cards and 6 envelopes!

Polka Dots & Paisley

Here's a card I made playing around with some new stuff. I used the Jumbo Petals Wheel from the Spring Mini for the background with Pretty in Pink Ink. Then I stamped the flower from the Polka Dot & Paisely stamp set using Pretty in Pink, So Saffron and Taken with Teal Markers. I used Old Olive for the stem. I added these cute little Rhinestones I found in the Dollar section at my local JoAnn's.

No time to stamp

Hello everyone. Sorry for not posting anything. My daughter had her tonsils out a week ago and life has been hectic! My oldest son started soccer practice last week, and now is home sick. I have a bunch of new stamps and accessories coming soon, so I hope to be able to play soon! In the meantime, if you have a card you'd like to see me post on my blog, please email it to me in jpeg format! I'd love to showcase your work.
