Hello Sweet Baby

A friend needed a baby card - so I was playing with one of my new Serendipity Stamp Sets called Bountiful Bears. I used Toodle Loo paper and the saying is from the Hello Baby stamp set. Of course I finished it off by stamping on the Toodle Loo tag, and embellishing with Scrappers Floss - my absolutely FAVORITE embellishment!!!!!! I did my coloring with COPIC markers - I just love these things...... and since they dry right away - I was even able to color my White Scrappers Floss the right shade of green!

More Fun with Walnut Inks

I have been playing with my Walnut Inks again. These are two of the cards I have created. They are being offered at a workshop at my home (along w/ 3 other cards) on March 2 and March 5. If you'd like information on my workshops - please contact me! I used inks from both sets of Walnut Inks for the cards - Set 1 and Set 2

Valentines Blog Hop!

I am a member of Paper Wings - which is an all Angel Company group. You will find LOTS of great ideas on this site! This month, a number of us are taking part in a Blog Hop for Valentines goodies. I had fun designing this card from a Sketch I saw. I used Miss Moxie paper and Miss Moxie cardstock as my base. I cut the shapes using my Cricut! The stamps I used were from the set Hoppy Everything. I colored with COPICS - my new favorite coloring medium! They will be available in our upcoming issue (starting Jan 25!) of Serendipity!

Be sure to check out all of the other blogs for some FABULOUS ideas!

More Sneak Peaks from Serendipity

The first card was made with a stamp set called Little Cupcake. This stamp set is actually in the current issue of Serendipity! The second card was made using our new Wonder and Joy stamp set! And.... if you notice, I used Nestabilities! Yes - they are in Serendipity too! You can look at the Serendipity publication on February 1!!!!!!!

Sneak Peak Stamps from Serendipity

With our new issue of Serendipity going live on February 1, I was able to pre-order some of the new stamp sets.

I have enjoyed playing with them, and thought I"d share some of my cards!

Fun with Walnut Inks

For my monthly hostess club, it was requested I do some cards using our Walnut Inks. So - I had fun playing yesterday! Hope you like 'em!

The first card was made using the Walnut Ink Resist technique. Simply stamp with Versamark, emboss with clear embossing powder, use Applicator Caps on the Walnut Inks to create the background, then put the cardstock between paper and iron for a short while. The ironing takes off what you embossed, and you have your image left. Then I stamped the sentiment with our Noir Palette Stamp Pad. The stamp set I used is Take Pride.

The second card was made by spritzing a few colors of the Walnut Ink on white cardstock, stamping with stamps from True Beauty and Curls and Swirls, cutting with Fancy scissors, and putting it together. A simple way to get a beautiful and unique background!

It's Snowing!!!!!!

In honor of today's snow, and the fact that (oops) I haven't posted in a month - here is a card I made for my November hostess club! The stamp set is called Squirrely Girl. How did I make the background? It was easy with my Scor-Pal and Scor-Bug! I just LOVE this tool!
