Latest Card Creations

Well, it was a very productive weekend to say the least! My mom and my sister came over on Saturday for a "day of scrapbooking" but I just couldn't get in the mood to scrap so I opted for stamping instead. Here are the cards I came up with:


I made this card for my daughter's friend who LOVES owls... and who doesn't just love owls? Especially this one with his great big eyes. I tried to use scraps of paper and ribbon that I had... which turned out to go with the new Dusty Durango cardstock and ink from Stampin Up! The owl stamp is from TPC Studio.











Another cute owl card! For this one I used Melon Mambo cardstock and ink, Bermuda Bay cardstock and ink, and the "All Holidays" stamp set... All from Stampin Up! The little owls in the circles are actually puffy stickers that my daughter gave me for my birthday. (I like owls too!) I think she found them at Borders Bookstore.












I know the kids aren't even back to school yet but I just got this new Sizzix die and I couldn't wait to use it. The back ground is So Saffron from Stampin Up!
and the gingham tie on the front is just a piece of scrap fabric I had leftover from an old craft project. Isn't it cute with the bats popping out over the house?













This wedding card was very easy to make and came together quickly. The bride and groom image is a stamp from Inkadinkado. The picture doesn't show it very well, but I embossed the image with the "frost" Versamark pad and I used white organdy ribbon to "fancy it up." The cardstock colors are Whisper White, Basic Black and Mellow Moss from Stampin Up!









I think this card "ROCKS!" When I got this stamp set from Inkadinkado I knew I wanted to use the guitar with a purple color so I chose Orchid Opulence from Stampin Up! I went shopping at the mall today with my daughter and a few of her friends and it seems that neon has returned! (So the color of this card it "so totally hip!") Now, if I could only find a stamp set with leg warmers and fingerless gloves......













My friend Cathy bought this cherry blossom paper at The Paper-Source and asked me if I could come up with a card for her. She wanted me to come up with something that was versatile enough to use different greetings. This is such a simple card layout and I think it would work well with any patterned paper you may have. I used Real Red, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette and Soft Suede cardstock. The greeting is from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" stamp set, all from Stampin Up! I used a punch for the larger flowers then used foam tape to give it that 3-D effect.











This card is very similar to one that is featured in the Stampin Up! catalog. For mine I used Blue Bayou, Kiwi Kiss, Soft Suede and Whisper White cardstock, and the new "Extreme Elements" stamp set from Stampin Up! I didn't have the surfer stamp that they show on the card in the catalog so I used one from TPC Studio. SO many of my cards are girly... with flowers or sparkles and ribbon, I wanted to do a more Masculine card! think it turned out pretty good, what do you think?












As you can see I was a very busy bee! I'm hoping to get these listed for sale in the card shop in the next day or two. I am also working on putting together my very first BLOG CANDY giveaway!
