Easter Treats

Happy Sunday!

I hope once again, you are all doing well this Sunday morning. My project for today was to make a little gift card holder. So this little purse is embossed using a faux leather/suede look. I used my versamarker and juiced up the front of the person, put clear embossing poweder on it and then took my bone folder and made lines- then heated it up! When it dried it looked like this picture (hoping you can see it well enough!)
The little chicks are from the new Easter Magnolia stamps and I got them from Kelly over at

KLStampinNScrappin. I think that they are so cute and I look forward to using them all year long with the Edwin and Tilda stamps. Inside you could put a little sticky note pad or like I am doing- a gift card for Easter. Hope it inspires you to give it a try!

Embossed Love

I started to work on some Mother's Day cards this week in order to get ahead and then I had some requests so once I got started I could not stop. I am loving this color combination and of course, how could I not love the simplicity of these cards using the CB folders? These are just a must and I am thrilled to be using them so much!

The first two cards showcase Garden whimsy from SU with Pink Piroquette and Baha Breeze. Very simple cards, I added a little bit of stickles to the wings of the butterfly to make it shimmer which you can not tell but it is so pretty!

The fore card is made with Pink Piroquette from SU and white cardstock which is embossed with my CB folder. I added a little pink and white polka dot ribbon and sentiment and done. The Upsy Daisy is from SU as well as the oval circle punch. I love this card b/c I love the set and it is clean and crisp. The card to the right is made very similar to the first and even a bit more simple in that I just mounted it to white cardstock added a strip of ribbon and wha la! What I did with the flowers is I stamped in PP and then in craft white just set off a little bit. I love the look. The card to the left is made with the one of the SU hostess sets and I colored it with my copics, layered it my embossed cuttlebug slip and added the sentiments. The image and matte are done with my spellbinders.

I hope you all have a blessed weekend and that the signs of spring will show!

Delight in Life

Happy Wednesday all!

Today's card is made using one of the Sarah Kay images Picnic of Daises from 7kidscollegefund. The image is stamped with the Dew Drop Tuxedo black on Neenah cardstock which I love working with. It is honestly one of the best cardstocks to work with the copics, no bleeding and the images are so crisp. If you've not tried it- give it a try!

I colored my image with R32, R35, Y21,YR24, and G24. I am still trying to perfect that shadowing and hope it is actually getting better. The cardstock is from one of my old DCWV stacks, I feel like those stacks are never ending. I have been trying to share some of these with friends because I think that I really have way too much paper! Yikes! (Denise- have you used all of yours? ) The grosgrain is SU. Can you see my new fiskars punch? Oh it is too cute and fun to use. I got mine at Joann's. And then to finish it off- my K&Co charm that my dear friend Sue got me (thanks Sue- I told you I would use it!).

Have a great day!

Sending Flowers

I want to thank Kat over at Queen Kat Designs for inviting me to be a guest designer for the month of April. It was a lot of fun to play with the toys and put together some fun items for her. Today's card uses the dots background stamp. I stamped the polka dots on pretty in pink SU cardstock and layered it with some "retired" DSP from SU as well. I then used my cuttlebug and the flowers die to cut out a variety of flowers and mixed and matched them. I really wanted this card to be springy and showcase the polka dots and they went so well with it. I added the little charm and wha-la! Fun card to give to a friend.

This is short today- it was a busy weekend and I have soooooooo much to catch up on.

Hunny Bunny

Today I wanted to showcase the CC Designs set Hunny Bunny that I got from Kelly over at KLSNS. This set is so sweet for Easter but you know it can be used with many of the other CC Design sets as well. Also, what about the Magnolia clouds and flowers. I needed to finish up a couple of Easter cards so I thought I would make it Easter- the sentiment here comes with this set, so does the little carrot he is sitting on- is that the cutest? My paper is a DCWV paper pack but it is because I don't have any BG that is spring or summery looking, all mine is dark, fall, and valentin (ish) so thought this would work best. I hope you like him and have a fabulous Sunday all.

Friday Frenzy

I am so sorry that I have nothing up for today, I had intended on crafting last evening but I got really sick with a migraine and it just did not happen. If I had, you all would have laughed at whatever I would have made- believe me when I say this.

So today I am going to give out the Faithful Servant award to a couple of gals that really are faithful servants of God. I read their blogs and not only do I get creative vibes from them but I truly know they are women of faith, they spread the word in their creativity and in their words, always upbeat and true. I thank them.

Wish for Balloons

Today I am hosting a challenge over on PCP for Kelly at KLStampinNScrappin so I hope you will come and join me. You can win prizes too! The challenge is to pull out those cuttlebug folders and use them to emboss your embellishments that you use on your cards vs using them as a background. I love using these folders and find they make things look so differently when they are embossed.

This card is made with Tilda and her puppy and she is sitting on an mini-envelope that I cut out of my sizzix and then used the SWISS DOT CB folder. The paper is Basic Grey Cupcake with the balloons in barely banana and wild wasabi.

I hope you'll join me over on PCP and participate in the challenge for some prizes! Don't know where to go? Go to www.papercraftplanet.com and then look for the KLSNS group and join there!
