Raiders Card

I was excited to see that Joann's has a pack of paper and stickers with Raiders theme. I have many people that ask me for raiders birthday cards so I am glad they had this pack. I made the sentiment and image in photoshop. I found the image online and added the number. The card itself is made from silver paper. This is a very simple card but I like the way it came out and so did my customer.

Sew Many Friday Freebie~~Birthday Yummies

I love this digi stamp! I will be using it often and you can too if you stop by Sew Many on Friday and pick it up for free!
This card is pretty easy to figure out. I colored the digi with Copics and used a punch on the side. The happy birthday sentiment is from the dollar bin at Michaels. Please ignore my signature in the middle of the card. I accidentally put it there and saved it that way.

Well head on over to Sew Many on Friday and pick up this cute freebie.

Bugaboo/PBD Xmas Cards

 Don't you just love this Bugaboo digi. It was one of their freebie which is now on sale at their store. I colored it with Copics.  I embossed the green paper and used my punch. I love this paper and have had it for a long time so I am not sure which it is but its probably DCWV. This is the current challenge sketch on Bugaboo Wacky Wednesday 13 on Crafters Digital Art Center

 I used Pink by Design Christmas Wishes on the front and inside of this card.

This card was inspired by the above card. I used the same pack of paper and another super cute Bugaboo digi. I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to the hat. I used a Pink by Design Christmas Wishes sentiment. I added a few brads and some fantastic twine and there you have it.
I am entering this one into Bugaboo's Anything Goes Challenge.

Lacy Labels Bday Card and blog hop winner

I decided to make a card without any designer papers. I took blank cardstock and cut the center label from Lacy Labels at to different sizes. I used a $1 stamp that is the leaf and stamped it twice then added a flower to the middle with a cute brad and some ribbon in the background. This card is very simple for me but I like how it came out.


Also here is the winner of Kich's Birthday Blog Hop ~~
Marissa said... Great card, especially the colors!
I emailed her the birthday digi set. Thanks to everyone that commented!

Miki Pink Bday Card

So if you follow my blog this card might look familiar. I made one just like it with a different image and a customer saw it and wanted the same layout with a monkey instead of the elephant card

The happy birthday 2 U is stampendous and the monkey is Miki from Sew Many. I colored him with Copics and and Stickles to the cake.

Advent Calendar Count Down

Ok I finally decided to join the Christmas in July craze. I couldn't help but make my take on Giselle's Advent calendar.

 I love snowmen. The only Christmas decorations I have in my house are snowmen so I made this count down to Xmas in my favorite color and decoration.

 I looked on birthday bash to see which tag Giselle used and found it and cut it in blue and white. I trimmed down the white one so there was blue showing on the top and bottom. I embossed the white one with snowflakes.

 This beautiful snowman is this Friday's freebie at Sew Many. Since it is a digital stamp I can size it however I like so I made a small and large, cut around them and colored them with my copics.

 I did not make my base very well and had to do some work to get it not to fall backwards. 

The tags fold over the back. I made a lot of mistakes making this and I am not the one to explain how to make it. I will work on some more later that hopefully I will do a better job on and explain better later. Thanks for stopping by and make sure to stop by Sew Many on Friday and get this cute freebie.

Kich's birthday blog hop

Happy Birthday Kich!
Welcome to Kich's birthday blog hop. If you came here from Esther than you are in the right place. If you stumbled across this post you should go back and check out everyone's posts. This is a surprise hop for Kich and I hop she enjoys the surprise.

I made a card to share today. First I had to use one of Kich's cute digi stamps, she is the artist behind Kich N Bleus Designs, so I picked this cute cupcake girl. Kich has a very cute birthday set of digis that I do not yet possess that would be great for birthday cards too, so you will have to check those out in her store as well and this cute one from the Designers Choice set.

 The front is pretty easy to figure out. I layers some cute papers, added a few flower brads, added a double layer of a skinny ribbon, printed the sentiment out and added a digi stamp colored with my Copics.

 The inside I did a pocket. You could added gift cards, money, a tag, whatever you like. I would print out a message and add it to the left side as well. I explained how to make the pocket here however I made a mistake cutting the paper while making the pocket on this one and did not want to waste the paper so I added the extra cross over on top. I like how it came out as well as the original. This week my mistakes have made my cards turn out even better :)

I hope you all enjoyed my card and hope you head over to Kich N Bleus to wish Kich a happy birthday. I know I would love a surprise hop on my birthday.

Oh and I almost forgot the blog candy! One winner will win "Kich Celebrates" collection. This is a very cute stamp set. Here are two of my favorite images from the collection.

Sew Many Challenge #61 Cookies

Sew Many is having a challenge this week "cookies" anything to do with cookies however you interpret that.  I made a recipe book with cookie recipes as well as others.

  I made my pockets first then I used chipboard for the cover that I measured to be bigger than my pockets. I used tacky tape to add the decorative paper. I added a hole to use ribbon to tie the book closed. I added some metal accents with my Irock and added ribbon on the binding.

The images I used are from Sew Many. Aren't they cute. Miki is a fantastic little monkey.

For the pockets I use a 12x12 and score the bottom and folded it up then folded the paper in half so it makes a pocket. I believe I scored it at 4 in but you can make this book any size and anything you want.

I made four pockets and several recipes I printed out in word and moved the margin on the right side over until it fit. I had to do a few test prints. I used my bind it all to put it all together.
