I had great intentions for this card in my head, but just didn't work out at all, figured I would share any ways.
Ok, I had a hell of a time getting the ladybug to stamp the way I wanted it to, I think I went through a whole sheet of card stock for one card. I hate that, such a waste. Then I realized that It was not even white paper once I started putting the card all together, what an idiot I am.
I am telling you, I am loving this set.....I is just so much fun. I also can't seem to make a card with out using my nestabilities!!! They are the best investment yet!!! If you are interested in getting your own set. I have picked mine up at http://www.scrappingreatdeals.com/ and http://www.7kidscollegefund.com/. These are 2 great sites for shopping!!!! They are my top 2 favorite shopping sites....the deals are really good.
Stamps: Bitty birthdays - SU, So many Scallops - SU
These are 2 very very quick 3x3 cards. I loved the stamp I used in the background. I didn't know which one I would like better the silver or the black, so I made one of each.
I found this wonderful Tutorial by Amy Rysavy at Prairie Paper & Ink . I have so many chipboard coasters and nothing new to do with them. When I saw Amy's Idea, I knew I had to try. The only thing I really changed was the paper but was still fun to do.
I had an idea in my head that I think may have worked. I really wanted to do a window card with my nesties, and this is what I cam up with. I started with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base in chocolate chip card stock and then added a vellum layer over the whole card. I really looks better in person....sometime the camera doesn't do a card justice. I always ask my DH to look at my cards and he didn't really like this one, say the ribbon is too big. What do you all think????
Here is another Black and White card that I made. It was very easy to keep going with the black and white card, there is just soo much I could have made. On this one, I took a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base, stamped with versa mark and then heat embossed white powder, did a couple of punch outs, tried a ribbon......finished.
Here is another Black and White card that I made. It was very easy to keep going with the black and white card, there is just soo much I could have made.
This is the first time that I have done one of Beate's Be Inspired Challenge, I guess I was inspired!!! I made this card for the happy couple that I made Wedding invitations for in Black and White, I used the same paper on this card as I did on their invitations. I think they will really like it.
Ok, I am really enjoying this little set. Can't believe I didn't notice it before in the catalog??? Sure Stampin up is going to discontinue it now. I can see myself doing lots with this set.
Here is another set of Wedding invitations that I delivered to the Happy Bride this week. Nicole is a lady that I work with, and she was getting down to the wire with finding someone to do their invitations. I don't really like mixing my day job with another "paying" job, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to get another set of invites under my belt. I would really like to continue doing the invitations on a part time basis.
5x7 for the invitation (top picture), 41/4 x 5 1/2 for the reply card and Thank-you card.

Here is my card for Beate Weekend Sketch Challenge #51. I am really enjoying Bitty Birthday set from Stampin Up!! It is simply cute. I picked up this new designer paper on Friday from The Scrapbook Pantry here in Calgary!! I really like the whole line. This one is called Pink frosting with sprinkles by Imaginisce. I would have to say that I am liking a lot of the stuff that Imaginisce is putting out.
I was camping with my parents last weekend and Mom and I brought our Stamping Stuff with us. This is the first card that started all the other Clear Dollar Stamp cards that I have posted in the last week.
Here is my first My Favorite Things card. I used the masking technique on this card as well. Here is a tip: if you think you are going to be masking a lot with a stamp set, keep the scrap piece that you are using to block out the good image, then you won't have to keep cutting a scrap one.
I think this is my favorite image from the set. I had a really problem with making this card work. I am still not 100% sure about it, but wanted to share. The card bas is 4 1/4 square. I took my basic grey ink pad and rubbed the DP on it to brink more of the grey in and make the paper not as bright.
I wanted to do this one in soft colors because I colored the image in strong colors, I figured if I went strong with the rest of the card it would have been too much. I really like how this one turned out. Again this card base is 4 1/4 square. On the card base, I toke my nesties and run it through my cuttlebug to get the card base embossed. It is a nice way to add a layer to a card without using paper.
