HEARTFELT THANKS WITH INDIE ART

just a quick card here i needed in a flash---:P--

like i can do anything in a flash, lol

Heartfelt Thanks

6"x4"

using the first clear stamp set released by 

MY PINK STAMPER.

and the beautiful INDIE solution cart for the heart. 

one in so many awesome carts that have been forgotten.

 and the beautiful photo corner from a SIZZIX sizzlet. another awesome die cutter. 

i have been buying a few things from sizzix from their outlet, at very good prices. all the sudden i remember they are steel dies and cut through so many thick materials, lol.

hope it motivates you to use what you have forgotten in your closets. i have been cleaning and re-organizing my craft room again and found so many useful supplies.

have a great weekend!

MY PINK STAMPER DESIGN TEAM MONTHLY PROJECT

 today is our monthly design team project for 

my pink stamper. we are using a stamp from the latest release. you can see them all HERE. they are worth the click, trust me!

i decided to use the yummy-licious one for my project.

Welcome

it is a tag

(we are getting a new neighbor on our street and this gorgeous tag will go along some yummy cookies)

i keep using some of the papers i found in my stash. they are so beautiful!

the house is from kate's abc's, image #26 on the overlay and cut at 1.96 x 2.92". i had to manipulated a bit to fit on my skinny tag. i cut it multiple times to get that thickness i am trying to get you to try. :P i am liking it a lot. 

the tree is from every day pop up cards: image #14 on the overlay and adjusted again to fit my tag. the tree dimensions are: 1.5 x 4".

i inked everything of course, lol and attached that twine with a tiny jewelry finding i smashed a bit to fit ;P

the flowers below the house windows are from the first stamp set  i received from my pink stamper: the awesome "simply sweet occasions".  when i lost the "hi" one from this set and i was devastated, :(

anyway, i stamped the flowers on a mat border i cut from paper doll dress up. the image/mat i used for the  "welcome" 

is from gypsy wanderings.

please stop at robyn's blog (My Pink Stamper) to see what my darling team mates have made with their stamps. i bet you you will be having a feast.

thanks you so much for stopping!

BIRTHDAY FUN MPSDT JUNE PROJECT/END OF TERM

as you all might know, this is my last project as a member of the awesome  

"My Pink Stamper" 

design team.

the term was for six months and we have come to an end. some girls will stay and some will go. anyway, you look at it, it was my honor and pleasure to design for Robyn alone with her so very creative team.

thanks ROBYN for all you do!

Robyn's instructions for this last project were:

"Just make sure it is BRIGHT and fun!!!"

 

Birthday Fun

is the name of my card using the

my first "mps stamps set"as her designer on my first term.

 now, onto my card.

using an old stack from DCWV i made this beautiful card. while looking at those papers i really did not like them but went for them anyhow. the only one i really liked was the blue dotted one :P

the card size is a 4 x 5 inch tall. i used cindy loo for the mushrooms, ashlynn's alphabet for the gorgeous butterflies and accent essentials for the sentiment mat. the later was manipulated on the gypsy to the shape you see now to fit the sentiment size. i used for image #31 using shift.

 

below are a couple more pics.

 remember you can always click on the pics, for zooming in.

bright and fun just like robyn wanted it to be.

hope you liked it and give you some inspiration.

SWEET THOUGHTS OF YOU

i am not feeling well. i haven't been feeling good since last thursday. i have a bad case of gerd and indigestion and bloating, and every time i eat it i feel nauseated. if i do not feel good by monday i think i will be calling my doctor.

last night started snowing and snowed all night. i love looking outside at night time when snows. it looks like the sky illuminated itself with a yellow warming and peaceful glow. here are some pictures from today. i wish i could have captured the glow from last night.

january 12, 2011

love how it looks after a good snow--it is like winter wonderland until the plow truck comes by, lol.
did you notice the stunning sky...awww!!!

i worked on this card today,

--Sweet Thoughts of You--

4.25 x 4 

pretty, uh?

 the sentiment is from one of the first mps clear stamp sets called

"simply sweet occasions".

it seems i keep going back to that one--so versatile :)

this is the package and if you click on the pic it will take you to the mps site so you can see the variety of stamps she has out and more coming out soon too, yay!!!

 these are old papers i have in my stash from autumn leaves, the tag i made myself with the cricut and so is the clock too and of course...robyn's "sweet occasion stamp set"hmmm---i think i mentioned the stamps before--hehe.

a bit of distressing and some more stamping--oh, and i sew on it too, hehe. 

so very cool--!!

the ribbon was given to me by kristen --one of the designers at the cricut circle.  she makes them herself too.

here you can see how i used two ink colors to create a shadow on the sentiment. i first used brown ink and then stamped it again--a tiny bit off--with black ink, and this is the result.

hope you like it--!!

-----------

we will be having our first mps blog hop this friday at 8PM central time 9PM eastern time. it is going to be lots of fun and i know you would like to participate. mark your calendars for this friday, january 14--.

see you later,

love u all.

--this post was supposed to go up last night and it failed again---another boo for google--grr!--

Think Pink

4.25 x 3.5

i used create a critter for the famous little bird and one of my first stamp sets from mps

I am all email friendly too.

Hugs to all!

THINK PINK COUNTRY LIFE

I have been working on this card for two days now on and off. I started welding it to make a shape card but some images are not meant to be welded and this one gave me such a hard time. Any how, I took some of the things I did not like apart and gave up on the welding.

I used the new Country Life Cricut cartridge and the image from page 32 and I cut that at 3.69 inches for my card.

Think Pink

7 by 4.5 inches

 The card base is from American Crafts, the black one is from Hobby Lobby, the orange/pink (crowns background) from the Rock Star (DCWV), the animal print one is from the All Dress up matstack (DCWV too), pink  and the white one from a value pack.

The black cardstock and the Rock Star were punched with one of Martha Stewart punches called Traditional Scallop. I used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder for the clouds and on the dots I added some Frosted Lace stickles which I got from dear friend Helen. The flower is a sticker from Mrs Grossman's Pen n Ink whimsical stickers pack. I used some metallic markers to color the petals with pink and the center purple but you can't see it well on this photo.

A closer look to one of My Pink Stamper

Simply Sweet Occasions

 clear stamps set which I used to stamp over some crowns with pink ink. You have to look really close to see it on the photo. I then decided it was too light and I stamp over three of them with black ink on top of the pink ink :). I also used some Glossy Accents on the girl's boots and with colored pencils tried to draw a pretty face on her, lol. The gems are from my stash maybe bought at ACM, M's or J's.

Below is a photo of the inside of the card

Hope you enjoy it!
