Simple card I made today
I made this simple card today. It was with a heavy heart as it is for my son, his grandmother passed this week and it has been pretty difficult for him and his fathers side of the family. She was an absolute jewel of a women, and will be sorely misssed. My ex and I have been apart for many, many years but I still care for his family just as much.
I used a sort of Thumping technique on the branches for this one and thought that it turned out lovely. I used some of my new Stampin Up markers on the image. The rest is just very simple rectangles. This is one of my favorite stamps and it was perfect for this card. There is a simple stamped sympathy passage on the inside.

Heat embossing challenge
The Just a note card was made using a versamark on a flower border stamp then I filled in the leaves with a light green viva pen and the flower centers with a red viva pen. The embossing powder I used was pearl white. I used a Martha Stewart punch and Just a note Unity stamp.
The Love you card was made with an image printed and cut on my Cricut Imagine. I used a versamark pad on the entire surface and using clear embossing powder to make the whole surface glossy. Added a few Rhinestones, a ribbon and a couple prima flowers.
The last project is mini monogram tags for small gifts. I used my cuttlebug with the all in one monogram folder for the initials. Martha Stewart punches for the tags and gold embossing powder on the initials.

Paper Craft Challenge
I love this stamp but can never seem to get it to look how I want it to and end up putting it back on the shelf so this year I am gonna keep trying until I have this image glittered the way I want it to look!!!
I stamped in black and then dotted a little color on the snowmens' hats and scarves. I colored the trees and then added glitter and micro glass beads to the trees to appear as ice patches once dry I added viva pearl pen and glitter on the trees and on the snowmens' path for piled on snow. This has given a very nice 3d feel to the card. It is really puffy and texturized. I cut black cardstock and red glitter cardstock frames around the scene (which I dont like how they turned out) and adhered to a white cardstock card. I cut the frames by hand and next time I will turn on my cricut to cut them as they are very uneven.
Stop by the Papercraft weekend challenge blog to see everyone elses glittered up projects!

Birthday Card for Kai
I tried some new things on this card, one was sewing the edges (I truely need practice) and I used an action wobble. LOVE THEM!! The bunny is so springy and wobbly I will definately be using them again. I used my cuttlebug on 2 of the mats, the happy birthday folder and the traffic folder. I used cricut cart Birthday bash for the bunny and gift he is holding, the birthday hat and also for the sentiment inside.

Masculine Birthday card
This is the matching birthday card for the painters tray gift. I used the same papers (Bo Bunny Timepiece collection) in making this card. Very simple and perfect for a guy, not frilly and even though it has a bow on it there is not ribbon or glitter. The colors are also well suited for a more masculine card. I love the bicycle image on this!! I loosely based the card on a beautiful card I saw on Pickeled Paper designs blog. I absolutely adore her work and I noticed a masculine card she had posted a while back and thought it would fit well for what I was looking for, I didnt use all of the elements that the other card had as my paper had more pattern to it and I really wanted the pattern paper to stand out.

My first attempt with a Painters tray
So this is a work in progress, I have never tried working with one of these before and I love all the pictures I have seen of others and thought I would give it a try. This is a birthday gift for my step father. I have used some very old pics of me, my son and my grandson. (lol, he isnt even one yet so I guess his pics arnt that old but they are some of the first taken, lol)
I used a 7 Gypsies white painters tray I purchased at Archivers when I was in Atlanta. I used crackle paint on the front to distress a bit (doesnt show well in photo) and rubbed distress inks on a few spots to distress even further. Being for a man I didnt want to use flowers and frills so have been truely at a loss as to how to "decorate" it. I am giving this to him this coming weekend so I have a few more days of looking at what I can add, I think it is missing some pizzaz. Any helpful comments would be greatly appreciated!!

Easter sign for our front door
I made this quick and easy sign for our front door for Easter. I bought the sign at Hobby Lobby, the bunnies were already there so I just cut Hoppy Easter and the egg from vinyl and slapped on there and voila! Tomorrow I will take a pic of it hanging on the door.
Challange 5 from Circle board
This is the fifth and final challange from our online swarm! The challange was to use a frame in some way on the project, I chose to make a framed gift box from the wild card cartridge. I cut it at 5 inches, it is a little smaller than expected however it is perfect for a chocolate square or two like Ghirardelli.

Circle challange 3 and 4
Here is my entry for the third challenge on the circle boards this weekend. It is a note card holder and 8 matching monogramed notecards. Super easy and turned out pretty cute. Hope you like it!
Here is Circle challange 4 - It is a Thank you card. We were to use any type of wet medium on our project. I used wet embossing on the birds so they would stand out (didnt show up in pic) and I used my Viva pearl pen to accent the bird cages. Pic doesnt show the card well since I cant take a pic to save my life but it is relly pretty in real life.
