Whinnying Birthday Wishes

Hi, guys! Today I am sharing a card I made for a little girl named Madison.  She loves horses and so I knew I had to incorporate one into the design.  I didn't have a stamp that was cute enough, so I used a fun clip art horse.

Supplies:
Ink: Distress Ink
Paper: Recollections, Echo Park (For The Record)
Misc.: Circle Punch, Oval Punches, Making Memories Metal Clip

I went very bright and colorful on this card for I wanted it to be very happy in feel.  I decided after making this card to take the clip off as I realized Madison may be able to get it off and it could be a hazard.  I took the picture before  I realized my mistake.

Hope you have a great day!  I am off to get my fingers inky!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hi, guys!  I hope you are having a great day.  I want to wish Happy Mother's Day to my mom and all the mothers out there.  Moms play such an important role in each of our lives and I hope your day is filled with love and happiness.

I thought I would share the card I made my mom (now that she has received it!).  I used one of my favorite stamps from Stampin' Up - Stipple Rose.  I colored the image with Copic Markers.

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up
Paper: Stampin' Up, Echo Park
Ink: Memento Black, Distress Ink
Misc.: Scallop Heart Punch

The weather here this weekend has been great.  My hubby and I spent yesterday afternoon planting an herb garden and planting tomatoes and pepper plants.  We are hoping to break out the barbeque tonight for the first time this season and we can't wait.

Hope you have a great day and enjoy the company of those special to you.

Until next time!

Fun With Ribbon Scraps

Hi, guys!  Hope all is well.  I thought I would share with you a card I made for A Cut Above, the online card class by Jennifer McGuire and friends.  It is such a great class filled with so much fun and content. I made this card using some scraps of ribbons I have been saving.  I never thought to use ribbon with my die cuts before.

Supplies:
Paper: Gina K Designs White, Echo Park 
Ink: Adirondack Pesto
Stamps: Stampin' Up Canvas background and Stem
Misc.: Scraps of ribbons, Papertrey Ink button, Twine
Die: Tattered Floral-Alterations

This was a fun card to make.  I have a hard time tossing ribbon scraps out, so now I have some fun uses for them.

Hope you like it and will give it a try.  Have a great one!

Creating With Die Cuts

Hi, guys!  Hope you are all having a great day.  Today I thought I would share a couple of cards I made last night.  I am currently taking the online class with Jennifer McGuire and friends called A CUT ABOVE. It is focusing on various die cut machines on the market and learning how to use them to their fullest.  I own 3 die cut machines currently (yes, you read correctly). I own the Cuttlebug, Vagabond and Cricut. This class will include demos of both the Cuttlebug and Vagabond as well as other popular machines on the market.  I am enjoying this class as as there is something for everyone and the tips alone are worth the price of the class.

Supplies:
Paper: Earth Tone Card Ink Pad NYC
Ink: Memento Black
Stamps: Hambo, Lizzie Designs
Misc.: Sizzix Stamp/Die Combo, Sakura Glitter pen

Supplies:
Paper: Stampin' Up, Echo Park
Stamps: Hero Arts
Ink: Adironack, Distress Ink
Misc.: Tattered Floral Die, White Gel Pen, Button,Twine

This is my fourth online class with them and I can't speak highly enough about them.  If you want to take a class that lets you go at your own pace, full of handouts, information and fun - then I would suggest you look into taking one of them.  The forum and galleries alone are full of useful info and inspiration.

Off now to continue with the class.  I look forward to sharing more creations with you tomorrow.

Have a great night!
