This is a waterfall card. So this means when you pull the ribbon it reveals one of 4 images.

I used the zoofari set so there is a different animal on each flip. The card stock used is tempting turquoise, garden green and the east coast prep designer paper. The saying that is revealed when you pull the red grograin ribbon comes from the it's your birthday stamp set. I also has a couple of white eyelets.

Friendship Bloom

This set is from the sale a bration mini. I used a build a brad for the centre of the flower. It's not so easy to see the centre but I stamped one of the smaller flowers from the set and punched it out and used it in the build a brad. I used the print pattern background stamp.

The cardstock used for this card are basic grey, sage shadow, groovy guava and the flower was coloured in using the lovely lilac marker.

By Ones & By Twos

I think this is one of my favorite new baby sets. It's nice to see a few new phrases for twins and adoption which is nice to see. I used real red, tempting turquiose, bashful blue, white and the polka dots paper is from the east coast prep package. The patterned paper is double sided so the other side I used for the baby sleeper. I stamped it on the patterned paper and the cut it out and placed it over the one I stamped on the white paper. I then stamped the little duck and applied it onto the sleeper as an accent. I also used gold brads, red striped ribbon and photo corners punch.

Fine Glitter

This one also features a new stamp from the upcoming mini called phrases for a friend. I also used a star onboard accent which I covered in light blue fine glitter. I used the heat and stick powder as the adhesive. The small star stamp is from the nursery necessities set. I used new chocolate chip poly-twill ribbon. The colours used are chocolate chip, bashful blue and white.

Big on Spring

This is a new set that will be in the Occasions mini starting March 1. I used purely pomegranite, groovy guava, black and white cardstock. I coloured bride in using a blender pen and the purely pomegranite ink pad. I also added a couple of the rhinestone brads and the matching ribbon. I also added a faux stitch around the edge using a white gel pen.

Spring is almost here

I know this isn't stamping but I was so excited about it today I had to share it.
I was outside enjoying the sun with the dogs and I couldn't believe what I found in my garden. Flowers!!! I am so excited to see some life coming back in my garden. I noticed a few more of my bulbs starting to pop up as well in my baskets. The first signs of spring. I am totally ready for it.
This picture has inspired me to make a card. Stay tuned to see what I come up with.

80th Birthday

The surpises party for my grandma on Saturday afternoon was great. She was so surprised and just couldn't believe it. She had so many friends and family the house was full. It was nice to see her have such a good time. She certainly deserved it as she does so much for everyone.

This is the card I gave her. I have used the sticky letters & numbers which I have covered in fine blue glitter. I also used designer paper, taffata ribbon and matching rhinestone brads. I also sponged purely pomegranite ink around the layers and the card itself.

I am now off to make some thank you cards for her to give out. Happy Stamping!!!

Glitter

The new catalogue featured new glitter. I love it. Why not make your card sparkle. I have used the chunky red glitter on a heart shaped onboard accents. This is another last minute idea for a Valentines card. I used real read, basic grey, whisper white card stock. The grey piece was stamped with the weathered background stamp.

Valentine's Treats

I needed to come up with a few treats for Valentine's and here they are. The small pouch filled with chocolate hearts and the small cello bag is filled with mini chocolate bars. I used the celebration rub-ons on each item including the cello bag. The flower of course is the scallop punch and the scallop edge on the cello bag is created using the slit punch. I also used the new chocolate chip poly ribbon on both.This ribbon will be available in the upcoming occasions mini. I wanted to use up some of the my paper from previous projects so the card stock used are chocolate chip, purely pomegranite, kraft and whisper white paper. Happy Stamping!

Yet Another card with the little birdie

I was talking with a good friend of mine Christine on the weekend and we were talking birthdays. It's her mom's (Kathy) birthday on the 14th which is easy to remember being Valentine's day. Christine then mentioned that it was Kathy's dog's birthday on the 15th so I thought it would be funny to pop a card in the mail for Suzy as well. This is the card I made for Suzy and I signed it from Oscar and Annie (my dogs).

Birthday

I needed to come up with a masculine birthday card and here it is. Why is it so hard to make a card for a guy. I can't figure it out. Here's my creation.

Rub On's

As I have mentioned before I love the new rub on's. They just add a little something extra to projects. It's hard to see but stay tuned for other projects featuring them.This card features some new poly twill ribbon that will be in the upcoming occasions mini.

Baby Cards

Well I have had a couple of friends that have had babies lately and so I needed to come up with a card for a little girl and a little boy. Yes I know I used a retired set but I just love the set so much and I haven't used it in a while. Despite that I did use new designer papers on both cards and the new striped ribbon.

Another Birthday

Tis the season for birthdays. I wanted to be sure not to forget to make my Aunt a birthday card as it's her birthday between Shad and my grandma's. I used new designer paper, purely pomegranite, chocolate chip and white paper. I also used some of the satin ribbon from the winter mini. It's hard to see but I also used the happy day rub on.
