Crossing Guard Thank You

I went waaay out of my comfort zone on this one...lol. I usually don't make bright cards but I wanted something different. The crossing guard for DS's school is a really awesome lady and very dedicated to her job. She is such a doll and joy to be around (especially for us non morning people...lol). The rhinestones are yellow! I got my inspiration from this card made by Niki Estes. I absolutely LOVE her work! Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

Supplies Used:
Inks: PTI Raspberry Fizz and Momento Dandelion
CS: PTI White
Stamps: PTI Beautiful Blooms II, Amuse Thanks Script 3-8039B
Rib: PTI Raspberry Fizz Satin
Acc: Yellow Rhinestones (from Michael's), PTI Lemon Tart Button, DMC Floss 3078

Showering You with Thoughts

Since I've been on a kick of trying new things and a new style, I broke out some fabric today that I've been wanting to try. My first attempt didn't turn out at all. I'm sewing machine challenged I guess...lol. Anyway, I'm a really loving this PTI color, Hawaiian Shores. I also love it mixed with red and white. The red just makes it pop so well. I used 1/8" scor tape to tape the fabric to my cardstock and 1/4" scor tape to adhere it to my card base. Once that was completed, I attached my focal point with foam squares and stamped my sentiment. Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

Supplies Used:
Ink: PTI hawaiian shores and momento black
CS: PTI white and hawaiian shores
Stamps: PTI scattered showers
Acc: circle nesties, 1/8" and 1/4" scor tape, foam squares, Christmas red stickles and misc red fabric from J's

A Quick Mother's Day Card

I totally forgot this Sunday was Mother's Day! I don't have any cards already made on hand so I whipped this one up. I have been using stamps that haven't been inked yet instead of just collecting them...lol. This was pretty simple to make but the cutting for the leaf and flower were pretty time consuming. Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

Supplies Used:
Ink: Momento black and PTI plum pudding
CS: PTI white, plum pudding and new leaf
Stamps: PTI delightful dahlia and background basics: botanicals
Acc: Foam squares, 1/4" scor tape (hold ribbon), PTI plum pudding satin ribbon
Tech: none

Fan-tastic Day

I am really enjoying making CAS (clean and simple) cards right now. I've had this layout in my head for a while. It was very simple to make although trying to line up the fan without using a stamp-a-ma-jig was interesting. I still have yet to learn how to use one...lol! You can tell it's definitely handmade since I seem to not be able to get my sentiment straight either...rofl!!! That's ok, it just proves it's handmade right? hehehe Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

Supplies Used:
Ink: Momento black
CS: PTI white and raspberry fizz
Stamps: Amuse fan (2-7087D R) and fan-tastic day (8-8422B R)
Acc: MAMBI pink rhinestones, foam squares
Tech: CAS

Haunted Mansion Inside

I can't seem to get adding multiple pic's in one post to work....lol. I don't usually decorate the inside of my cards but I've seen many cards done this way so I thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)

Haunted Mansion

I finally broke out some of my precious Amuse stamps..lol. I've been buying these for a while but have been more or less hoarding them. Well, no more. I have been on the hunt for this little gem for quite a while. I finally managed to get it in my grubby little hands (evil laugh here) and just had to get inky with it. Loooove!!! I'm telling you, these stamps are so much fun to create with. Anyway, I wanted to do something CAS (clean and simple). I'm finding that CAS cards are much more fun and easier for me to make. Thanks for looking and have a great day! :)
