One More Wild About You card

As school has started and I am more and more busy I am closing the month with another cased and cute card. I cannot seem to get enough to these little giraffe's.

Another Picture Perfect Birthday card

I am still thinking birthday as I approach the month of August. In my family, my mom gave birth to 4 out of her 5 children in August. That is a lot of birthdays, add in cousins, nieces, nephews and my own daughter not to mention my Mom in law and I need a lot of August birthday cards!  Hmm, who will this one go to?

More Share What You Love Designer Series paper

This was another cutie that I spied and had to case. It features the Share What you Love dsp and some basic stamping. It turned out so cute. Kudos to the originator of this card.

One More Lift Me Up card

As we close out the month of July, we are leaving on a high note with this last Lift Me Up card.  This one was made using the ever popular white on white with lots of brightly colored balloons. It reminds me of the balloon festivals seen all around the country and makes a great birthday card.

Lift Me Up in Manly Man Colors

I am still posting cards I made a while back. This is another Lift Me Up card that I did and I cased it. I am calling this one the manly man colors. It would work for anyone but the Crumb Cake and Night of Navy tend to lend themselves to the men.

High Tide

Having recently returned from dive vacation to Grand Cayman I had to stamp out another lighthouse card. I love anything nautical! This one uses many sponges to get the early evening effect that is going on here.  Thanks for dropping by!

Lift Me Up

I got this set last year and never played with it. I was a bit stumped I guess but I looked for inspiration and that got the ball rolling. Thank goodness for casing! This layout was so easy,  just like the one I posted  on July 6th. This is one easy layout! In fact, I made 5 cards using the same layout.  Enjoy!

Congratulations

I made a simple Congratulations card using my new stamp-a-ratus. It is a gadget that truly makes it easy to line out stamping and fill in the gaps. I used 2 new In Colors for this card...Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick.

A Fun Color Challenge - PP401

I just love these bright colors and I knew as soon as I saw them what I wanted to do it just took me all week to make the card! I thought immediately of the Magical Mermaid. I made a sparkly card using that pretty mermaid. I am not sure that the dazzling diamonds show up very well in the picture but they are all over her tail. I think it turned out pretty well.

Love What You Do

The name of this stamp set pretty much embodies the Stampin' Up! ideal! Love what you do and share what you love. I have been a fan of this thought for my whole life. This little card was so quick and easy to do. I actually used my markers on the back of a stamping block, spritzed it with water and stamped. Let it dry then stamp away. Very quick and easy!

Multifold Birthday Card

I found a tutorial online and recently made a mulifold birthday card. Mine is a bit different but very close to the one I saw online. I used my papers a bit differently and got ahead of myself and had to edit my card to make it work. But I think you get the gist of it. It is tied shut and it hold a giftcard!

Enjoy Life with Share What You Love DSP

Have I mentioned how happy I am that this stamp set carried over from the Occasions mini catalog? It is a great set with so many looks. This card uses the candle stamps (the same ones that also make the blowers). Add a flame and they are candles!

Dragonfly Dreams

I have been outside kayaking a lot lately with my hubby and there are so many dragonflies here near the lake. I had one sit on my foot the other day and take a ride with me. It was such a pretty blue thing. Anyway, it was my inspiration for this card.

Enjoy Life with Share What You Love DSP

I finally got around to opening and acutally cutting my new DSP. I am such a DSP hog. I never want to use it! I am really going to try to do better this year! I made this card using some of the products that were available for pre-order and now are in the catalog. One cool thing about this package of DSP, besides that it is so large, is that it goes with 13 colors of card stock! This one features Blackberry Bliss but I could have used any of those other colors using the same layout!

PP400 - A Celebration Theme Challenge with Jaydee

I am today playing with this challenge. I have been gone as in out of the country for a week and enjoyed a bit of scuba diving (20 dives). I had to wait for week 2 of the challenge to play along. I made a Dragonfly Dreams card for this challenge using some retired SAB glitter paper and it took me a while to piece it together but the results are stunning (IMHO). Enjoy.

Swirly Bird

I had the Swirly Bird out for a challenge and decided to make another card while I had it out. I cased one from an older catalog changing the colors. It is so bright and cheery!

Another Daisy Delight

I made one more Daisy Card using just current products. I really think this stamp set is a keeper for so many occasions. This one is a thank you card for a friend. The senitment and the flowers are all from the same set so it has extra value in my book. Colors used: Whisper White, Old Olive, Momento Black and Berry Burst (stamped off for diffent colors).

Daisy Delight

This is such and easy layout. I could literally do lots of cards with almost any image with this layout. This one uses some retired DSP but he images are all relevant. No sentiment so it could be used for any occasion. I love the Night of navy cording. Colors used are: Whisper White, Garden Green, Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight.

My annual 4th of July card

Well, I make one every year. This year I have literally nothing that looks like fireworks so I improvised. I started with Real Red card stock and added stripes using the silver sequin trim. The start box is Night of Navy with white glitter paper stars. Quick and easy.

One More Bubble Over

I will be showing just one more Bubble Over and that is all of that one for a while (I think). It is a fun and versatile set. Too bad the DSP has not returned. This one uses the In Color Lemon Lime Twist and I used the DSP and the framelets to cut out the bubbly bottle. I added a little Dazzling Diamonds to the bubbles to make them fizz!
