Fa-Boo-Lous

I love the new Halloween set from Taylored Expressions! I sat down over the weekend and made a bunch of Halloween cards. Each one a little different, but simple and quick! Love it when that happens!  On each card I colored the image with copics and then added some glitter and rhinestones. The black polka dot paper was laying on my desk--I think it is Jenni Bowlin but I am not certain.

I added some orange rhinestones to the buckles on the shoes and ran the green paper through my Sizzix with my Cuttlebug seeing spots embossing folder.

For this one I used a die to cut the Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor paper and then added a layer of tulle. I finished the shoes with a green spica glitter pen.

TSG Birthday Challenge Day 4

Believe it or not I was able to complete all five challenges for There She Goes Birthday Celebration. I have been able to spend quite a bit of time in my stamp room over the weekend, it has been a while since I have been able to do that. Each day a different challenge was posted so I will post all five of the cards I made. If you haven't figured out yet I won't be posting them in the order the challenges were given, just in case you are keeping track!
The challenge for day four was to use banners on a birthday card. Easy peasy right? I pulled out my Scent-sational set and got inky. I colored the sweet little skunk with copics and then layered the image onto a scalloped oval die cut with a Spellbinders die. The banners were cut with a flag die and then folded over some twine. The patterned paper is Echo Park Hello Summer. Love the bright colors!

So Tweet

I used this adorable little bird stamp set to make some thank you notes. My daughter needed a few to send for birthday gifts and I was running behind--what else is new. I think I got the stamp from Michael's (it has a ditto label on it). I colored the birds with copics and then added some of my favorite Echo Park Hello Summer patterned paper. I used a QuicKutz Bloom embossing folder on the bright blue paper to add a little pop of color and texture. Some of the cards got rhinestones for a little bling.

And some did not! More clean and simple, but cute!

Thanks for looking!

Uptown Girl Ava

I bought this Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Ava Loves To Celebrate stamp a while ago. I haven't had a chance to get it inky until this week, my Mom's birthday! I colored her with copics and added some subtle hints of sparkle to the cake and gifts with a Gelly Roll Clear Star Pen. The patterned paper is from Echo Park Hello Summer (love this collection). I used a MFT fishtail flags die namic for the flag. Pretty clean and simple but I love the way the colors really come together.

Sweet Sixteen

I am not quite sure how it happened, but my baby turned sixteen today. SIXTEEN!!! Holy cow! I made the card above with a Tiddly Inks Wren image. I kept it pretty clean and simple adding some Echo Park Hello Summer patterned paper and a strip of green that I ran through my cuttlebug with a Sizzix embossing folder.
Happy Birthday Chiefette!
Love
MOM

Thanks a latte!

I finally had an hour to myself in my stamp room last night. I have had this new set from Market Street Stamps called Daily Grind and have been dying to get inky. I stamped the coffee cup in brown ink and colored it real quick with copics. I cut the image out with an EK Success label punch and then layered onto a circle. The patterned paper is Echo Park's This and That. In keeping with the coffee theme, I ran the green card stock through my crimper. I finished it off with some pearls (colored matching brown with copics) and a sentiment banner cut with a MFT die.
Note: the kraft card base is some new kraft card stock from MFT--love it! Highly recommend it!
Feels so good to have ink on my fingers.

Easter Crosses

This is another stamp from the Easter Joy set. I colored the crosses with copics and then used the Jodi frame to make it pop while not overwhelming the beauty of the crosses. I used some more of the Echo Park Little Girl papers--think those bright colors are perfect for Easter!

I stamped the sentiment inside and then layered the image on cardstock to match the front!
