Paper: DCWV cardstockGina L said...
First off, that was super sweet of you to change the settings. I appreciate that you did that! I am thankful for the huge support system that I have in my friends and family, who have helped me through a really terrible time in my life. I don't know where I'd be without them. - Gina L (siameseplease)
On December 1st I will choose one winner at random. This is only open to US residents. Be on the lookout for more give aways coming up!
This card is all G45 papers, I used Prima Marketing pearls and some Ribbon FX ribbon along with my Scalloped square Spellbinders dies. That's not a mistake, yes I said square, not rectangle. I don't actually have a rectangle, so I just cut out 2 squares and layered them. Pretty easy, huh?
I also decorated the inside. I used the same pale yellow paper I matted with on the outside of the card and used the Damask Designs with Papertrey Ink "Fresh Snow" ink. The other stamps are by Hero Arts. Thanks for looking! 
On this card, I again used the Nestled Maple Leaves from Spellbinders along with Long Classic Rectangles and Labels 9. I also used Tattered Angels Glimmer Glass and a Prima pearl. The leaves were cut out with adhesive on the top (3L adhesive sheets) and then I peeled off the paper backing and sprinkled fine glitter over the top. I used Pop Dots to adhere them to the Labels. TLF !
This wall hanging was really easy to do as well. I used chipboard shapes from 7 Gypsies and covered them with paper that I had already stitched around (also 7 Gypsies). I used some 7 Gypsies clear stamps with Distress ink to stamp over parts of the paper and also inked the edges. I used my Silhouette to cut out "is where the" and used 7 Gypsies sticker letters for the additional words. The black buckle is alsy from 7 Gypsies. I used my cropadile to cut the holes and then threaded the polkadot ribbon through.
Well, TFL and hope you all have a great week! 
Here are a few items that were pubbed several months ago in Scrap 'n Art that I can share. I just love making baby cards! On the girl card, I used a Crafter's Workshop template (card size) to make the crown with texture paint. It's raised and a bit crackly looking in real life, I like it! I cut the crown out and inked it a bit. The paper is by Melissa Frances, I love her papers for baby cards. The stamp is from Papertrey, and I used a Spellbinders scalloped oval.

Well, technically it's still Fall. However, we have gotten snow and FREEEEZING temps the last few days, ick! I took a peek at this weekend's temps and it's supposed to be back in the high 50's so we'll see how that pans out. I'm about ready to break out the Christmas tree! 
Here she is getting ready to eat a fish. Yum, bronze!
Here are both the kiddos with Stage Coach man in the museum. I don't know what that face has to do with anything. 
And here's a sweet picture to balance them out. Here she is with daddy at the wedding in OH.
The candy corns are actually part of a clear stamp set from the Target $1 spot. There was a cutie pie ghost, jack-o-lantern and some stars and a sentiment as well. Let me warn you though, those stamps are VERY low quality. If you're a beginner stamper, don't get them because they're pretty hard to use and get a good image. They also kind of start to degrade after a while. I only bought them to do a set of cards to sell at the store because for $1, you really can't complain. ☺ I can totally afford to just toss them after I'm done, and that's what I plan to do.
Not until after I make up a bunch of candy corns though, LOL! For the candy corns, I just stamped them with Memento "Tuxedo black" ink and colored them in with Copics. I used Glossy Accents to fill in the yellow part and then sprinkled super fine Stampendous! yellow/gold glitter over the top. Then I used Glossy Accents on the white tips and sprinkled super fine white glitter over the top. I didn't have any dark orange glitter, so I just used the Glossy Accents and made it shiny. 
That's all I have left! Tomorrow is the last day that I will be working at Snickerdoodles and then I start classes on Monday. 
I've gotten them off to school this AM and they're all settled into their new rooms with their friends. Looks like it's going to be another good year! 
Yep, I give up, I had to start making some Christmas cards! 
some more pink for ya. If you don't like it, too bad! I still can't get pink out of my system, so I guess I will continue making pink cards. I actually hated pink when I was a teenager and well into my early 20's. I don't know what happened. 
Get over there!
On Dawy McVey's blog she had a gorgeous card using text, so that was fresh in my mind. Come to think of it, she also has been posting a wonderful pink series of cards...but I promise I didnt' copy her on that! :) Pink was just in my brain today, probably from a certain little girl that lives at my house. I didn't use any patterned paper, because I didn't have any pink paper the shade that I wanted. So I pulled out an old text stamp that I got at Goodwill this year and stamped with Versamark onto white cardstock. I embossed it with clear powder and then rubbed Angel Pink Memento ink over the top with a cloth. The end result is raised white words on a filmy pink paper. I used Rose Bud Memento ink to stamp the butterflies (Verve Stamps) onto the paper as well as the flourish at the bottom left (7 Gypsies). Where the embossing is, it resists any ink, so it creates a neat effect.
I stamped the same butterflies onto light pink cardstock and cut them out to place them over their stamped images on the card. I glittered them with Stickles and Martha Stewart white mica flakes and curled their wings out. Really this all sounds like such a process, but the card only took about 15 minutes to make because I knew what I wanted to do. And because I had twice the amount of hand stamped paper I needed, I made this card as well!
I used a pretty damask stamp from Papertrey Ink's Damask Designs and the Rose Bud ink and stamped it along the edge of the embossed paper. I loved how the white words showed through the damask!
Both of the scallops on the cards are by Spellbinders Nestabilities, and I used a Martha Stewart Lattice punch on both cards as well, and an EK Success Diamond Lace punch on the 2nd. The sentiments on both cards are from Papertrey Ink's Mega Mixed Messages. Such a versatile set!
Maybe I got pink out of my system now :) Thanks for peeking!
