Birthday Wish List

HeIllo everyone and happy Friday! I have this one last card I did with the Glimmer Mist plastic wrap technique to share with you all today. I used browns and yellows for Glimmer Mist and paired it with some brown BoBunny card stock and a little kraft card stock.

I used Martha's loop de loop boarder and corner punches and added the senti from Creative Visions Sassy Happy Birthday set. I popped the senti and added some twine and some liquid pearls in brown to finish off the card.

I also stamped the candle in versa mark fro the Skipping Stones Design's Green Birthday set. Thanks for stopping by!

Another birthday

Saturday was the special someone's birthday so of course, as I always, I made a card. I used this sketch fro iSpy Sketches:

 I used some paper scraps from Moxxie that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I embossed some the solid color pieces.

 I also dyed my ribbon again with the Glimmer Mist. I used the child phrases stamp again on this card. I just love these sassy little child stamps. I inked the senti as well. Finished it off by popping the senti and added some gems.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You

Here's another card playing with the glimmer mist technique I posted yesterday. This one however, I added Rock Candy over. It makes the glimmer a little harder to see but it's still fun stuff. It's all cracked looking now.

I used the Thank You set from Creative Vision stamps. I love this set for thank you's because it's got a little of every type of thank you that you could ever need. Below is a close up of the rock candy. It's kind of hard to see but you get the idea.

Thanks for stopping by

When it rains

Hi all, just checking in with a fun little ditty today. I have been using my glimmer mists a lot lately since learning this new technique. I can't get enough of mixing colors to see what I come up with. Its done using plastic wrap. Super fun and super messy to do. Here is my card:

I added some peacock feathers that I stamped in gold from Skipping Stones Design's Victorian Summer set.

My senti is from the What's Shakin' set from Creative Vision stamps. Stamped it in gold to go along with the shimmer in the background. I also dyed my ribbon with my Glimmer Mist.

Thanks for stopping by!

When the going gets tough

While ago a friend of mine got a card from her sister, it was a (naughty word alert) Hallmark, but the idea behind it was super cute so I took it up a notch and made it my own. Here it is.

I picked up some fake eyelashes at the dollar store aroud halloween. My paper is last years Echo Park valentine line. This is the 1st sheet I've cut because I love it so much.

I computer generated my senti. The inside says "The tough buy waterproof mascara".

I added a little chalk to make eye shadow, some ribbon and some bling to finish the card off. I used the Oval Lace Dies from Lifestyle crafts (Formerly Quickutz) for my senti. I really fell in love with these dies. I love them more than my Spellbinders. Shocker I know!

Anyway, I won't keep you here any longer. Thanks for dropping by.

Fishing

A few weekends ago the special someone and I went to learn how to tie fly fishing flies. Not that I need another hobby but it was fun and I had other motives...time with the cute boy AND embellie!! So here's a card I made my dad for Father's Day that I added one of my flies to.

I used Holy Carp from Skipping Stones Design. I used some paper from my scrap bin. Problem with scrap bins is I don't always know or remember who the paper is by. The top brown paper is Bo Bunny.

Here's a close up of my senti and my tie. Believe it or not, these are pretty easy little guys to make. I'm going back this Saturday to do some more.

And I couldn't leave you without a close up of this little guy. He is very cute and goofy. Perfect for the senti.

I'm entering this card in the CASual Friday blog.

Friends are like shoes

I was diggin through my scrap bin the other day and found these 2 papers that paired nicely together so I pulled them out and away I went. I used Sassy Shoes from Skipping Stones Design for this little number.

 I added some lace and some buttons. My shoes are 2nd generation stamped images.

And as always popped my senti with a few pop dots.

Mojo Monday

I decided to play along with Mojo Monday's sketch this week:

 I used some old graduation paper from 2008 for my card. The back side has 2008 all over it but I love this side way more. Especially since 2008 is long gone.

 I used stamps from Skipping Stones Design and added some Smooch Paint.

 And you know me and my pop dots. I used them on my senti.

Thanks for stopping by.

Double Embossing

While wasting too much of my time on Pinterest the other day, I came across this card and fell in love

 After a little clicking it brought me to Kimber's Creations blog and the tutorial on how to do this fun and awesome looking technique. I had to run out and get the same stamps and everything. Yes, this was a card I was gonna CASE almost to a T! That's how much I loved it. So away I went with Kimber's tutorial and here's what I came up with. It's not perfect but it's a good start. Just need a little practice and maybe some juicier Versa Mark.

Needless to say, I'm now following Kimber. Super easy technique too, give it a whirl.

Hey Chickie (ISSC03)

I found a great new sketch blog called iSpy Sketches and finally had time this week to sit down and play along. Here is their sketch this week:

 What a fun sketch. I decided to flip the sketch on it's side and go from there. I used paper from Cosmo Cricket's Delovely line that I had to have a few years ago and have used very little of. I love the paper! Here's my card:

 I also got the chipboard embellies with this line of paper so I decided to go with one of them. I love this little chic. I paired it with a senti from the What's Shakin' set of stamps from Creative Vision. I also decided to use the tutorial from TGF for the banners. So easy and brilliant. I'm not sure why I didn't think of it.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to get over to iSpy Sketches and play along.

How Many?

My baby brother has a birthday coming up soon, I guess since he's turning 27 he's not really a "baby" but he'll always be my baby brother. Aside from my rambling, I needed a birthday card for him so I picked up some of My Minds Eye Fun Day line to make his card.

I picked up this cool new stuff called Goosebumps. It's a spray like clear embossing powder. It's so cool! Anyway, I sprayed that on the numbers paper and inked over it with some Barn Door Distress Ink and sprayed on some teal Glimmer Mist.

Oh so cool! Love the look! I added some paper punched buttons and some twine. I finished it off with a fun little senti I picked up.

Happy 27th Birthday Baby Brother!!
XOXO

Good Friends

Hello Bloggers! I'm bringing you a card today using the sketch from My Favorite Things. I love their sketches. Here's this weeks sketch:

 Great sketch huh? Well here's my card using the sketch

 I used quite a few scraps, some from My Minds Eye, Bo Bunny and Core'dinations.

 My stamp is from Skipping Stones Design which she doesn't have in her store currently.

Thanks for checking in.

Hey Handsome

Just thought I'd stop in since I've been MIA lately and post a card I sent home on leave with my special someone. I used some paper by Simple Story's that was B sided. I love using B sided paper for the matting but I think I've mentioned that a time or two.   :)

I used stamps from Skipping Stones Design and Creative Vision. I picked up these new dies by QuickKutz that I love. They are the same as Spell Binders but so much easier to get the paper out of the holes. LOVE THEM.

I inked everything with some Distress Ink and finished it off with a button and some twine. Of course I popped the senti.

Sweet Christmas by Ciera

My friend Ciera is just getting started in the scrappin' world and I'm so proud of the cute card and cookie bag she made the other day I had to share with everyone. Make sure you leave lots of comment love for her.

She used Skipping Stones Stamps on her card and cookie bag. The Santa hat is from Holiday Cats and the cookie is from Buns and Crunches.

 She used Echo Park paper from last years Christmas line and some Tim Holtz Distress Ink. The shape is cut with some new QuickKutz  nesting dies. So proud of her! She even learned how to do stamp masking with this set too.

Sassy Happy Birthday

Happy Friday bloggers! Today is my final post for the Creative Vision DT. I'm sad this term is over, Laura and her stamps are so amazing! I'm truly honored to have been on not only 1, but 2 of her DT's. Trust me, if she'd let me, I'd never leave! :) Anyway, I'm going out with a bang, humor in full effect. Here's my last card:

 I used the Sassy Happy Birthday II set. This is by far, one of my favorite sets in the Creative Vision store. It is right up my sense of humor ally. I used some of Basic Grays Little Black Dress paper along with some of the Tim Holtz craft Core'dinations which I embossed with a leopard/cheetah print folder and sanded it.

 I tied some black tool around the card that I put some gold dots of Stickles all over. I finished this off with a fun stick pin.

I inked my fun senti and added a few Stickles there as well.

Thank you everyone for all the great comments you have left on my projects and now get yourself over to the store and pick up this stamp set. I promise that you'll love it! Have a Happy and Safe New Year!
