Orange B day card

Here is a Springy birthday card I want to share with you all! I embossed the background then used some ornage ink and lightly went over it. It looks good except in the bottom corner :(  Oh well over all I like the idea and how it came out.

I like to add an inside message to my cards.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Easter Bunny

Here is a simple Easter card I made for this year. I only made 2 Easter cards this year.

This image is a Glitterbabe image called Painted Eggs. I added Stickles to the hearts.

TSB Spring

 Nothing says Spring to me like Easter! One of my favorite holidays! The Stamping Boutique challenge for the next week is Count Down to Spring. You can find it here.

I am a bit behind posting this card. My life with a 9 month old and teaching doesn't leave a lot of computer time. Luckily The Stamping Boutique challenges run two weeks! This is one of my favorite Easter images.

Bunny Egg is colored with Copics then I added Stickles to the dots and ears.

2 B-day Cards

 So here are a couple more birthday cards that are not so girly. When making these I was thinking they could be for a male however now looking at them I am not sure. What do you think? Male or Female?

 I used the birthday innies and outies set from My Sentiments Exactly.

 Sorry for the bad inside card pictures. Night time, tired momma equals too lazy to fix it.

Male Birthday Card

I was asked to make some more manly birthday cards. I am really good at female cards but when it comes to male cards that is another story.

 So for a male card I try to keep it simple. I used some DCWV paper and a new stamp set I just bought.

This stamp set is My Sentiments Exactly Birthday Innies & Outies. I am loving it. I really like to have different sayings for the insides of my cards.

I printed out the colored and made this easy peezy card. If you need to make cards quick or struggling with coloring then the Glitterbabe images are the way to go.

TSB V day Cuteness

 I went a little crazy with making the Valentine's day cards this year. I got on a roll and ten cards later I made myself stop. I could have made a dozen more. I actually have a few more images colored and ready to go.

 This super cute image is Audrey and AJ on the Bench. I just got this image and I love it. My coloring came out really well also, which is awesome considering I am a bit out of practice. I used Copic Markers

 The sentiment on the front and the purple inside is a Sweet N Sassy love sentiment set. The Happy V Day is a dollar stamp from Michael's.

Mason Jar Laterns

I was trying to come up with something new to make for Christmas gifts this year, which is a challenge because I make a lot of Christmas gifts. I came across a post on these mason jar lanterns in a FB group and loved them. So I busted out my floor wax and glitter and went to town. It is the same technique as the glitter xmas ornaments I made.

 I made the saying myself in design studio for this one and the apple is a Silhouette file.

 These cut files came from the silhouette store. I added little battery operated tea light candles that have a timer so you don't have to keep getting in the jar. They are self timing tea lights you can find on Amazon.

I found these cute little plastic bags at Michaels on sale for 50 cents and grabbed a bunch not knowing what I would use them for. They were perfect for that little something extra to go with these lantern gifts.

I added the girls names with vinyl on the front and put the lanterns in them. 

I know I haven't been as active on my blog this last year with having my baby girl but it makes me sad to see my followers leaving. I have lost 5 in the last month and it makes me super sad. I hope to have the rest of you stick around and enjoy looking at my crafts. You mean a lot to me :)
