Happy new year

this card I stamped the background with tempting turquoise from stampin up. the stamp is by anitas. I then stamped on black cardstock with versamark and used silver fine detail embossing powder and heat with heat gun. I round all corners as you see with the fiskars corner rounder. I added a silver ribbon also which is wired also. I cut a thin strip of scrap paper for the right side.

Christmas Baubles

this card was easy to make. I made this one as the other 2. the stamp is from anita's i believe. It was one long stamp which i cut into squares after it was stamped and colored. cardstock I used is black, red,silver,white. this card is for a swap i am in. I stamped merry christmas in versamark and then put clear embossing powder over it and heat with the heat gun. after I colored the images in I used tombow gluw to put over what I want glitter on. glitter I used is dazzling diamonds from stampin up. I also used 2 square brads.If you open the red part where the images are you can write something inside.

Picture Wallet

here everything is by stampin up. this is the first time i ever made this. turned out pretty for me. :) the stamp set is polka dot and paisley. inks used is tempting turquoise and certain celery by stampin up also. ribbon is a scrap i had ,plus i forget who it is by. to open the wallet slide off the pink part. when it opens up you can put 3 pictures inside and journal also right beside the pics. it folds up nicely so you can put the pink sleeve back on and you can also keep this in your purse to show off the grandkids or nieces and nephews, or the kids. this would make a great gift also as the person just has to do put pics and journal.

Making a Flower

this card uses the polka dot and paisley stamp set. here I used tempting turquoise and certain celery ink by stampin up. I stamped the paisley 5 times and cut them out, then i fixed so they would make a flower. them punch a circle to cover the middle. on this card also if you lift up the green section of the card you can write something inside it.

Scrappy Pieces

this card is made from scraps. all pieces used on this card is also from stampin up. the stamp set is polka dots and paisleys.

Paisleys and Dots

this card is all from stampin up. the clip is from their hodgepodge hardware,as is the punch used at the top, the stamp set used is polka dots and paisleys. cardstock is from stampin up also. I lifted the white piece with foam tape.

Oh Christmas Tree

on this card is another puffy sticker that is from big lots. I bought a set of puffy stickers for 2.00 that was christmas. they looked cool to me so i bought them. I shared them with my nieces on thanksgiving as we cards for their teachers. the verse is from stampin up.I also inked around the edges in garden green from stampin up. pattern paper is a scrap.

Wreath

this card is made different.if you open the green part where the wreath you can write inside. the wreath is a puffy sticker that i bought at Big Lots. the mistletoe stamp is from anitas and the verse stamp is unknown. I also used 3 square brads and my paper piercer. this was a fun card to do. inks are by stampin up.

World cardMaking Day Cards Contest

Here are the 2 cards that my husband and I entered into the contest. My husband made the christmas card with a stamp by posh impressions. he did the watercolor tech. on it by using markers on the stamp and huffing on the stamp after. then he stamped it again in versamark just on the bell clackers and heat embossed them with silver embossing powder. he used real red ink to stamp the background in a circle.

The birthday card i did for the contest. I torn pattern poaper into different sizes and inked the edges with stampin up ink. The verse I cannot remember who it is by. the candle I stamped in so saffron ink by stampin up. I used my eyelet setter for the balloon eyelet.

as you can see neither one of won, but it was our first time doing the contest. But my husband made his first card for a contest and that made me happy and thanks for dixie for showing randy on how to make a simple card he can do. since then hubby received his very first stamp set from stampin up called itty bitty backgrounds. I figured have to start him with something and might as well get him something he can use alot. :) he don't get into the mood to make a card very often but when he does I don't say no and let him make one. have to explain to him about certain things but as he goes he will come to understand and join our ranks of stamping.

Christmas bell

here I used a puffy sticker by memento, which i bought from big lots for 2.00. I used a impress marker by TAC for the verse as it had other things on it as well and i only wanted merry christmas to show. :) purple ribbon is by either michaels or pat catans, i cannot remember which store i bought it from. I buy robbon from both places. simple card and easy.
