Another Tilda with Balloon Card

Do you ever get a stamp that you just use, and use, and use and you begin to think that you have nothing else in your collection becaus that stamp is perfect for EVERYTHING? Well, I think that's where I'm at with balloon Tilda! lol She's so adorable and I just LOVE using her! You can pop up that balloon and she's ready for any celebration! I was in a "dottie" mood when I made this card.

I've seen where people are putting different colors around their image and I think it's so beautiful and FINALLY I decided to try what I thought might work. I used my light blue water color pencil and colored all around Tilda & her balloon and then used my water pen to blend it out. I think it looks pretty!

I'm going to enter this in the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge, which is to make a card for a chile this week. Wouldn't this card be perfect to cheer up a young girl? Or to tell her "Happy Birthday"?

Thanks for coming by today! Have a blessed afteroon!

Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers!

Good afternoon everyone! I have another card to share with you already!

This one was specifically made for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challege this week. The challenge was to use a stamped flower on your card. So, I thought, why stop with just one? Let's stamp many! lol

This flower dress & sentiment are by Stampin' Up. The beautiful green paper is by Bazzill. The stripped paper and flowers were scraps from my card earlier this week. The pearls were just a few I had left over. I used diamond stickles to make all the flowers on the dress sparkle.

I love this card! I brought it to work to photograph it and the first person who saw it asked to buy it! :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a blessed day!

Lucky Bird

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm sharing with you a card I made for my little 4 year old friend, Kaitlyn, who is the proud big sister of 5 day old Kinsley. I saw this paper at my local scrapbook store and fell in love with it! One side is the rain boots and the other is the multi-colored stripes. What's even better is the next day after purchasing this paper, I found this free digi at Designed 2 Delight! What a perfect match! I was so uber excited to make this card! I'm going to enter it in the challenge Faith has going at D2D.
Fun card, isn't it? See the little puffed up flower? I punched it out of the paper I used then used my fingernail to puff up the petals! Cute, huh? I'm sure you'll be seeing more of those in a few days... :) I had these pearls just laying around and I picked up this fun ribbon from Michael's a while back and had never used it! Not sure you can really see the stickles I used, but each stripe on the bird's leg and each polka dot on the boots has stickles. The paper is by Three Bugs in a Rug from their April Showers line.
Wanna know the best part of this card? Kaitlyn has boots EXACTLY like the ones the bird is wearing!
Have a blessed day!

Babies and Buttons

Good afternoon! I finally have another card to share with you! This card was made for some friends who just had a baby girl this week. Momma loves polka dots, so I thought this paper from Echo Park was the perfect choice. I stamped a onsie by Katie & Co on the dp and cut it out. Isn't it the cutest thing ever? I've done a ton of them this week because they are so darn cute! lol Anyway, the pink cs is by Bazzill. I also used stickles on various places. The sweet baby stamp is also by Katie & Co. The first picture taken of the new baby shows her with a huge bow in her hair, so I thought this tulle would make the perfect bow for this card. Enjoy!



I'm entering this in the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge, which is to use 3 buttons on your card. I haven't entered a challenges in ages and I'd forgotten how fun it is!

Thanks for coming by today! Have a blessed day!

Balloon Tilda

I JUST CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE! I've been holding off on posting this card, because it's the birthday card for my most devoted blog reader, but unfortunately, the postal service is not gettig it to her quick enough! Anyway, Kris, don't look further if you want to see it in the mail first! And, I hope you had a wonderful birthday on Saturday!

So, this card is ENTIRELY because of her! I fell in love with Magnolia stamps because she introduced me to them, I learned to do this cool thing where you raise part of the image with mounting squares or pop dots (can't remember the name, but I did this to the balloon Tilda is holding and everyone LOVES it!) I have this blog because she helped me get it started. Kris has taught me so much and helped me throughout my journey to find my talent in making cards and I just want to say "thanks" You're a wonderful friend and crafting mentor!

I've can't remember who this paper is by, but I LOVE it, so I've kept every scrap I've had of it! This is a new Tilda with Balloon stamp. Isn't she so pretty? The little candle & sentiment stamp I got at Michaels YEARS ago. I used a bit of stickles on various places, but not too much, because I didn't want to take away from the softness of Tilda. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my card and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRISTINE! :)

Blessings!

Valentine Gifts

Today I'm sharing little paper purses that I made using my coluzzle purse template. I've used some K & Co. valentine's papers that I got at Michaels a year or so back and rhinestones that I purchased from the Michael's $1 bin. I also made the little charms from some clear stickers that I got from a dollar store a long time ago! I used some scrap paper with cute little valentine animals on it for the charm. I hope you enjoy!

Oh! I will have a card to share with you later this week or early next that I've decided is uber adorable! I used my brand new Tilda stamp on it! I've shared it at work and have orders for 5 just like it already! lol Come back for another visit soon!

Blessings!
