Paper Bird & Seaside Greetings

Made these cards with our new close to my heart stamps and some old scrapbook paper. The sentiments on these two cards were from Sweet n sassy stamps.






My daughter, Joy, designed this lovely card herself:

You Give Me Wings Dragonfly Card

I am thrilled to share with you my latest project (a joint effort by myself and 8 year old dd).  Joy got excited about the theme of the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut this week, being "Don't Bug Me".  We always love to get out our Peachy Keen Stamps, so we are pleased to enter the "Just Cards" challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog this week as well.  Here is what I came up with: 


I knew I wanted a cheery card, fresh and bright.  The cute dragonfly is from Paisley.  The card base is from A Child's Year.  The cuttlebug-embossed vellum wings were Joy's idea.  I also used Design Studio to outline the body of the dragonfly with a dark green marker (really makes it pop!) and rubbed a little chalk on the cheeks for blush.  The heart is an old CM punch, punched from pink glitter cardstock.

This happy sun is from Pack Your Bags and I just love it.


This sentiment (took me a while to find one I liked among my stamps) is a Sweet N Sassy stamp and I think it's just perfect!

Some rhinestones for bling.  Penstitching for pop. An Action Wobble and the sun is just dizzy with delight!


Here is my dd's card.  I adore the whole thing, from her own unique saying to her doodles!


Have a happy day!

Frog Themed Baby Gifts

I made a bunch of froggie gifts for baby boys using one of my fav designs from Embroidables.

And this cute card from New Arrival, aren't the google eyes so froggish?

And a set for a new baby in soft, sweet colors:

And something I thought the dad would like, too:

Cindy Loo Sweet Bird Card

This is that lovely flying bird from Cindy Loo and a gorgeous printable stamp from Sweet n Sassy Stamps for the Flying Bird Challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2. Pink glitter cardstock and some embossing and doodling with gel pens were other touches.

Another Gift Idea

I needed a gift for my grandmother, so I made up this set of greeting cards for her.  I used all sorts of items in my stash a variety of stamps (digital and regular) and left some of the "list" stamps from The Cutting Cafe "unchecked" so my grandma could personalize them as she finds occasion to use them.  I think the ribbons and buttons and other embellishements make them special.  Doodling was fun, too.

I used ACY for the card base and leftover butterflies from another project from Once Upon a Princess and lots of little stick-on rhinestones. The stamp says, "Love puts joy in the heart".

New Every Morning Card

I used an MS punch to shape the corners and embossed the butterflies and sentiment from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. Love that sentiment!!

Flamingo Card

This is for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge to use a flamingo off of Life is a Beach in any color other than pink. I never would have thought to cut out a blue/multi-colored flamingo, but I think it turned out way cute! I also used the photo card feature for the card base. The sentiment "Thinking of You & Smiling" is from Sweet n Sassy stamps. Hope you like it!
