Inky Flower Power

Inky Impressions challenge this week is Flower Power.

I love how this card came out. I used some DCWV paper for my background DP.

 I love this fairy, she is so cute. She is Wishing Well Fairy. I colored her with Copics and added some Stickles to her wings. I used my Spellbinders to cut her out and inked the edge of the oval.

This sentiment is Butterfly Kisses Sentiment. I added some color to the butterflies with a Copic marker and Stickles on top.

I used a Stampendous birthday sentiment inside the card.

Head on over to Inky Impressions and play along with us. You can find these stamps and other cuties at the Inky Impressions Store.

Orange Birthday Card

I was asked to make some more adult birthday cards. I am happy with this one. I used a Heidi Swapp butterfly and sprayed it with her yellow spray.

I sprayed the flower with Glimmer Mist to make is sparkle. I added a pearl brad in the center that I love. When I stamped the sentiment it made an ink mark from the edge of the stamp. I was bummed and sat there for a minute trying to figure out how to save my card. I decided to add some pearls to cover it up. I gotta say I like how the pearls added to the card.

The sentiment inside the card is a new stamp I got from Sweet Stamps.

Mothers Day Tag Card

I am always trying to use up my scraps so I cut these tags out of some pieces. I cut the tags with my Silhouette and distressed the edges with some Tim Holtz ink. I also used the ink in the white flowers then sprayed them with some glitter spray. The sentiment is a Stampin Up stamp.

The inside stamps are from a Sweet N Sassy set. I used a scrap piece I had left for the inside.

GDT Cangrats Baby Card

I am guest designing for Card Mania this month. The challenge this week is embossing. I am using an image from our sponsor Sassy Studio Designs.

 Here is a cute baby congrats card for a mommy to be that came out super cute.

This image is so cute.I colored her with Copics. I cut her out with my Spellbinders and added a lacy oval behind her to make her pop.

I embossed the pink cardstock with hands and feet. I used my buffing block to back it stand out a bit more. The charm says its a girl. The sentiment is a Jaded Blossom Simple Saying set.

Baby Shower Items

 I co-hosted a baby shower for a friend and wanted to share what I made. This are the gift bags for the prizes.

I used my Cricut 9 Months cartridge for the onesies. I added some dots with my gel pen. I used a variety of pink and purple papers that I found in single sheets and in paper packs.

I added a lot of curly ribbon to everything. The roll I bought had a ton and I wanted to use as much as I could.

These are the thank you for coming gifts. They were the biggest hit because people could not believe I stamped every kiss. I tried to jazz up the plain basket the best I could. The sign I used Bugaboo images.

 I used a Jaded Blossom die to cut out the toppers and Jaded Blossom candy stamps for the bottoms. I used a couple different sets. The baby one and some other thank you stamp.

 I added some baby confetti to them since that was in the invitation.

 The babies room is light purple so I found a matching elephant to give her. This is my gift bag for the babies gift.

 I used larger onesies and embossed them. More ribbon!

  I added the gel pen dots again and used a brad in the center.

IS Girly Congrats

 It doesnt get much girlier than this! I used Bazzill Vintage Marketplace paper pack for the DP. I used s sentiment from Inspired Stamps Perfect Sentiments for the congratulations.

Hymn Girl June is such a cute image. I stamped her twice. Once in pink then green on top. Then I hand cut her out. I like to use a nail file around the hand cutting to smooth it out. I added a little twine but thats it. I like to donate cards to OWH so off to the soldiers this one goes.

Riley CAS

It has been awhile since I played with my Riley stamps. I saw the clean and simple challenge this week and thought I would join in. This card is just that. I added some shimmery green paper that I had in my scrap collection onto this patterned card. Riley is colored with Copics. I added a Sweet N Sassy sentiment that goes well with this cutie. I embossed a small piece of the green paper which look so good on here. Added a few metal embellishment and there you have it. I am sending this one in to OWH. Hopefully it will make someone smile.

Mojo Scraps Card

I love playing along with Mojo Monday so I made a quick card with this weeks sketch. I used a Pink by Design sentiment. The gold paper looks good in the middle. It was in my scrap pile along with the blue, white and brown strip. I have way too many scraps and keep them in a basket close by so I will use them up, I hate to throw away paper. Adding a few metal elements and the pearl in teh middle of the flower helped give the card a little more wow factor.  Since this card is going to OWH I tried to keep it flat and glitter free. So hard for me :)

 I used the best food of all cupcakes!! I love the bright colors on this card.

This cute fairy is The Stamping Boutique's Birthday Fairy I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to the cupcake, head dress and wings for a little sparkle.

This sentiment is from a set I bought at Michaels the other day from Stampedous. I used a circle punch to cut it out and inked the edges.

Inky Recycle Super Girl Card

Inky Impressions challenge this week is recycle, use something you wouldn't normally use on a card. 

 It took me awhile to come up with an idea. Then I saw the index cards in my drawer and thought, cute background paper. So I took a hot pink index card and use a border punch on the top then embossed it.

I used Super Girl Lili. I colored her with Copics. I would love to add glitter but this beauty is going to Operation Write Home. I home this super girl reminds someone of somebody they love.
The sentiment is Jaded Blossom.
