SU/Sizzix embossed roses

I finally got the embossing folder "Manhattan Rose" by Sizzix, for Stampin Up! I embossed glossy white paper with this embossing folder, and then smeared versamark ink over the embossed part using a brayer. Then I heat embossed with a white pearl embossing powder. Then i used various inks to fill in the roses. I applied glitter in various places to give it sparkle, you can see that in the second close up picture. The sentiment was stamped in aqua colored ink, and then I took my quickie glue pen and went over the word FABULOUS, and applied aqua colored glitter. I used a few copics to accent the roses in the centers, to give depth. Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions!

$1 easter stamp!

My inspiration for this card came from this $1 stamp from Michaels! I stamped and embossed it, then used a circle nestability die to get it centered, and then cut it out. The yellow layer is also from a spellbinders die. I used a gold gel pen to add gold accent to the yellow label shape. The border punch is by Martha Stewart crafts. And questions, please feel free to message me!
Have a blessed day!

a little bird told me

Here's a card I just made for my sister in law for her birthday, her favorite color is yellow! The birdies stamp is actually one that says lovebirds at the bottom and has a heart above (and centered) the birdies. But i cut all that stuff out and made it work with this sentiment stamp! Colored with copic markers! Thanks for looking!

Adore

My newest card, I found this angel stamp in my stash, that I bought last year and never used! So after receiving my new set from Our Daily bread today, I just had to use them both. The greeting is from the set Blessed Christmas by OBD. The angel stamp is by Stampendous, and I got that at Michaels, THE Arts & Crafts store (imagine that! lol). The decorative star stamp is from Papertrey ink, in the set Silent Night.
The decorative paper that the angels are stamped on is from the K&Company Mat Pad from the BW Evergreen collection. The striped brownish paper is from some other older 
K&Company paper pad. The sheet music DP is from a paper pad I got last year by MME "Festive & Frost".  The photo corners were punched with an eksuccess punch. I colored in the stamped images with copic markers and a gold and a white gel pen. I accented several areas with crystal stickles. Again, thanks for looking, I had a blast making this card!

CC designs: Nora's in the snow!

Yet another adorable digi stamp from C.C.Designs.. find it here. This teal swirly paper is from the new wintery paper pad by Cosmo Cricket Mini Deck "Jolly by Golly". I colored Nora in with Copic Markers. I cut waves of white paper to make the snow she is standing on, and then I added glossy accents to glue on white Flower soft. The greeting is one from a clear set I found at Walmart last year. Thanks for looking!

snowy trees

Hello everyone!!! I had the pleasure of going to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert this week. And got to sit in the second row!! It was beyond AMAZING!  Well, since it was mostly christmas music, it really put me in the christmas mood! So hopefully I'll start really popping these christmas cards out soon, though today my hubby is sick with a 102.2 fever, and even though I had the whole day to create, I was just not in the mood! This card I made on thursday, before the concert, I started it, and finished it friday night. Anyways, these trees are one stamp, and I embossed it with silver EP, and added white flower soft to them to make them look snowy. The white embossed strip that goes down the center vertically, was created with the cuttlebug embossing folder, lace tree, click underlined word to see it. I did it twice and cut along so as to just get the middle of the tree embossed. The greeting words are from a clear stamp set by papertrey ink . The dp with the snow look to it is by SEI, from a paper pad I got at Michaels. The silver photo corners were punched with an eksuccess punch and embellished with stickon pearls and rhinestones. To get the blue fade background on the panel with the trees, I smeared 2 colors of memento ink on the paper with the wood peg handle with removeable foam pads. Any questions, message me! Thanks for viewing and reading, have a great day!
