Card of the Day - January 28th

I wanted to make a few more birthday cards...here is one of them :) This cute little house mouse stamp is one of my fav's. I regret coloring the bow/ribbon in green, in retrospect, I should have colored it pink, oh well... I added some bling and ribbon. The patterned paper is from Joanns. I really like the Bazzill Bling paper (from M)!!

Challenge of the Day - January 26th

For today's card, I picked the challenge from Sketch and Stash. I wanted to use this stamp...the saying is so cute!! I used lots of pink, from polka dots to gingham. I embellished with buttons and ribbon. I even used glitter (a big surprise, right?). This stamp is Fluffles from Stampendous, another 40% off purchase from a while ago.

Card of the Day - January 12th

Better late than never... a little advice from a few trusted individuals :) Here is my card of the day. The present is cut from C cart at 4 inches and the corners are from my stash...my daughter says "Mom, why do you always use little metal pieces on your cards?" I am obsessed, what can I say :) A little bling added to the stamped message, and a whole lot of bling around the whole card. I thought this would make a great male birthday card.

Challenge of the Day - January 10th

For my challenge card of the day, I have decided to follow the layout on Sketch Saturday. I used stamps from the stampfest I went to and absolutely love having "new" images to work with:) I have been playing alot with black cards...red and pink mostly. I decided a black and orange and green one would be good as well. I used liquid glass on the eyes and some scraps from my huge pile of cardstock. The ribbon and brads are from M. The metal corners are from my stash. I need to get back into making v-day cards...no more avoiding it!!

Card of the Day - January 10th

I am addicted to stampabilities stamps, especially those cute little mice.Here is a birthday card suitable for a man. Manly cards are so difficult to make I thought I better get a few made for this upcoming year. I used black and white as my main colors, but incorporated a little yellow for contrast. Ribbon and embellishments from M...I know most of my supplies come from M!!! I glittered the bow of the cheese gft to add some sparkle... matches the background glittered paper.

Card of the Day 2 - January 9th

Again, late but according to me - not too late. I am trying to make some "quick" cards...never seems to be quick but here is the next card. I used some buttons and ribbon from M. I am starting to really like this type of ribbon. I used to only use grosgrain ribbon. Lots of layers but nothing special. I actually refrained from using liquid glass or glitte paint on this one. Nowhere to put it, but I did think about it!! I need to really think about making more valentine's day cards... Back to pink and red.

Card of the Day - January 8th

Well, I suppose a few of you thought I wouldn't make today's "card of the day" card. Here it is. I often get requests for girlie birthday cards, so this is why all out pink. This is the cutest little stamp from stampabilities - happy hoppers. I used liquid glass on the balloons and lots of pink and black inked edges. The ribbon is from M. I love those little gems so I added lots of them as well. I used my cricut for the present and star. I like the way the black, white and pink contrast each other.
Enjoy!

Challenge of the Day - January 7th

Another stamp from my stampfest yesturday...this little turtle is too hard to resist!! I love gingham and black and green really compliment each other, so this is the card that came of all that. It is a challenge on Sketch and Stash . I cut the stack of presents from C cart at 3.5 inches. Tried to cut the bow on the shift key and it ripped because it was so small. So I decided to glitter the ribbon part instead. The buttons and ribbon are from M anf the metal embellishment is from my stash.
