Sew Many Valentines Card

Here is one last Valentines card that I made and forgot to post. I used a Sew Many Cards image that I colored with copics. The cute papers I bought in single sheets at Hobby Lobby. I added a couple heart brads and a metal heart that has Love on it tied with twine. Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired Stamp 3 ways

This week we are showing three different ways to use a verse. I used Proverbs 3.5  from Inspired Stamps scripture stamps, you can find it by clicking on the link above. This is a good verse to remember. I have such a hard time letting go and letting God that this is a good reminder.

This first project I made a card. I love the fold over paper.

 This is a CD cover. I take lots of pictures and shoot a wedding recently. This would be a perfect case to give my pictures on.

 

 

This container I am thinking about putting cookies in to give away. Many possibilities of things to put in this container.  I stamped the heart then embossed the heart.

 

This was the original container. I have many of these since this is my favorite adhesive. So many possibilities.

Check out the other DT members and see what they came up with. Such wonderful inspiration.

Inspired Stamps Scenic View

http://www.inspiredstamps.com/servlet/the-78/Scenic-View/Detail

Here is my latest card. I have this very versatile set from Inspired Stamps and wanted to make a scenic, earthy card. I used brown ink around the circle I cut out with my Spellbinders circles. I colored the stamp with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the nails on the fence. Thanks for stopping by!

Valentines Color Me

I made these Valentines cards for my students. They loved them thankfully since they were not as easy as I thought they would be. Well anything times 24 is never easy.

 All these images are Sew Many Cards. I love them all and so did my kids. They also loved that they could color them themselves.

 I was one short on the pink/red colors so I used a purple.

 

 I LOVE turtles so this is my favorite image.

 

 These are the only other stamps I used. This one is Meljen's Designs. I thought it was super cute as well.

I hope you love these as much as my students did. Thanks for stopping by.

Stryder Birthday Card

This is my favorite birthday image. I love Stryder with Balloons he is just so cute. Sew Many Cards challenge for this week is birthday. If everyone ends up making birthday cards as often as I do then Stryder is a must have. I have such a difficult time making boy birthday cards so I use him often.

I colored Stryder with Copics and inked the edges of the image. I added Glossy Accents to the balloons and blue glitter. I embossed the blue paper with my Sizzix happy birthday then buffed the paper to show it.
Head on over to Sew Many Cards and link up a birthday project this week.

I colored her with Copics and chalked the edges. Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out Inspired Stamps for some wonderful projects and stamps.

Color Me Birthday Card

I saw a card on Bugaboo that had a color it yourself birthday card. I loved Tammy's idea so much I made my own. I am going to making several of these.I used plain stock that I embossed on this card. No designer paper and lots of layers. I used a Bugaboo stamp that I love. The Pink by Design birthday sentiment is perfect with these little monsters. I tied on some Crayons with twine. I love how this one came out, I am working on some color it yourself valentines cards for my students now.

I am entering this card into these challenges.

CWWC Challenge 10

The challenge is to use SOMETHING NOT INTENDED FOR CRAFTING

this can be wallpaper, bubble wrap, foil, paperclips, even ribbon and buttons...

I used bubble wrap that I colored with alcohol ink. I love the way it turned out. I put alcohol ink on the Ranger Rick dabber and inked the edges with it. I really liked how that came out too. Not to mention this adorable image that went perfect with this sentiment. 

 

Image is from Spesch Designer Stamps.  

Sentiment is from Pink By Design's Baby Love set

Paper is The Paper Studio Wedding Pack

At first when I thought about using the bubble wrap I thought it would be weird but I like it so much I might just do it again. Check out the challenge at Crafting When We Can

Patties Creations Swans

I love these swans, their necks/head make a heart with is perfect for this time of the year. I embossed my circle that I cut out with Lacy Circles spellbinders. I used alcohol ink around the edges of the image and gave the image a little color with Copics.

Inspired Stamps Love

I thought this bear and saying would be great for making a card to donate to OWH. It takes a lot of love and "bearing with" someone while they are away. The combination is perfect. I just got this set and love it. Inspired Stamps has some great stamps. Check out the other LOVE inspired projects at the blog.
