Humphrey Girls

In the spirit of friendship and Valentine's day, I have a cute little card to share that was created using the sweet image from the Friends Forever set which is part of the Humphrey's Corner Collection. My colors are from SU's In Colors - Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding. I punched a few hearts and colored over some of them with a Wink of Stella glitter pen. Love this super cute image!

Shreddin' Birthday

Happy New Year everyone! Since most of us are trying to recover from the recent snow storm and cold temps, I wanted to share this card made with the super fun Snowboard Boy set by MFT and the Falling Snow stencil by Simon Says Stamp. I dabbed white acrylic paint onto the Midnight Muse cardstock using the stencil and then I created the "hill" by die cutting some white felt with MFT's snow drift die. The snowboarder is colored in with SU markers, Red Real and Pool Party then popped up on foam squares.
Have a fun weekend in the snow and try to stay warm :)

Christ Is Born

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and you're taking some time to relax and recoup. My card for today is the main Christmas card that I sent out this year. One layer cards are always my goal because they are the easiest to reproduce and the large images in this retired set by Stampin' Up! called "Christ is Born", helped quite a bit. Even though I've had this set for awhile now, I still love it, especially the font used for "Christ is Born." To create the card, I used Sahara Sand for the cardstock base, stamped the poinsettias in white ink and added a rhinestone to the centers, then stamped the sentiment in Cranberry Crisp. To finish the card and soften the edges, I used white acrylic paint in a sponge tip dabber by Adirondack Ink.

Colorful Trees

Lovely As A Tree by Stampin' Up currently holds the spot of "my favorite set for fall cards" and this image in particular. I love how this looks with chalks rubbed directly on to the cardstock; they blend together so well. I used the Top Note die to frame the image and then mounted it onto a piece of Tangerine Tango cardstock. For the lower half, I added a layer of More Mustard cardstock to bring in some more color and help frame the image. Then I used a piece of Chocolate Chip ribbon and a ribbon slide to separate the two. The sentiment is from PTI's Up,Up, and Away set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the fall :)

Thinking of You Pumpkin

Are you enjoying the fall? I sure am; I went through a corn maze last weekend :) So I was inspired to make this classic fall card. The pumpkin image is from an old SU set called Fall Whimsy and I used watercolor crayons to color it in. I added some texture to the background by stamping SU's Linen background stamp and Close to Coco ink. The edge of the Pumpkin Pie paper strip was cut using MFT's wavy edge die. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Up, Up, and Away set.

Perk Up Soon

Here's another card using SU's newest In Colors; I really like how they look with each other. The images are a wheel stamp by SU that coordinates with their Morning Cup set, it's called Take A Sip. The sentiment is from MFT's Miss You A Latte set (that I used for my last card). I used a Fiskars scalloped edge punch on the piece of Brown Sugar cardstock for some interest as well as a bit of Frosted Lace Stickies that I used on the big flower center of the green mug. This certainly made for a cheerful combination for my get well card :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy WCMD - MFT Latte

Happy World Card Making Day everyone! Thanks for stopping by. With the arrival of fall here in New England, I've been enjoying pumpkin spice latte's lately and was inspired to create this card using My Favorite Things' set Miss You A Latte. My color scheme is Stampin' Up!'s newest In Color Collection - Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar, and Coastal Cabana. I mounted my sentiment on a piece of corrugated cardboard for some dimension and just because it makes me smile.
I'm having fun today and celebrating by creating more cards and taking a break to see what others have created. How about you?
