Wedding Card

I made another card tonight! This one is for one of my husbands co-workers. He recently got married and my husband asked me to make a card! :) It's sweet when your husband tells you that your creations are good but when he ASKS you to make something....YAY! The pattern papers are from Prima: Almanac Collection. The sentiment is from a Stampabilities set. And this adorable image is from spandcompany. Another Gill Roberts design: Wedding couple. I still struggle with my copic coloring but I think I turned out well. I was really nervous with the black suit. I need a few more of the gray colors so that I can do more shading.

Thankful

October is Pastor Appreciation Month! How many of you knew that?? Well I made this card for my pastor and his wife. They have both made a huge impact on my life! I originally intended for this to be a vertical card. Hence the pattern paper going the wrong way... oops. But my image was a bit long for a vertical so I just turned it and made it horizontal! The image is from spandcompany. It's from the Gill Roberts Collection; Squirrel with Acorns (incredibly cute)& I backed it with some craft paper. The pattern paper came from Teresa Collins: Vintage Finds. The smaller vertical strip (also backed with craft paper) is actually the reverse side of the main background piece. For my sentiment I decided to use a piece of flair from spandcompany: Fall Trees. I've tried this layout before with the overlapping layers and didn't like them but I'm really happy with the way this card turned out!

Espresso my thanks!

This is a card that I made for my friend and her spouse. They are so wonderful! They pick me up for work when I need a ride and will bring me home too if my hubby can't pick me up. One day this week, she was off but still had her significant other pick me up and take me to work! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends! The details: The background paper is from MME-Lost & Found Portobello Road. I inked the edges and stamped the sentiment with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Walnut Stain. The sentiment and image are from spandcompany Latte Art stamp set. And lastly the ribbon is from Studio G. Very simple one today :)

Card on the go

Today is my mother-in-laws birthday! I meant to put a card together for her earlier in the week but with me working the overnight shift this week.....well my schedule was off to say the least. This morning was the first time I set foot in my craft room since Sunday night! So I put this together this morning before leaving for church! Luckily I had the image already colored!! I love this image! It is so stinkin' adorable!! It's a Tina Wenke stamp from spandcompany called Bird with Balloons. I used plain white cardstock and the design paper is a mystery. Literally lol. It was a piece of cardstock that was included in one of my orders from spandcompany.com. I really like the way it came out, simple and cute! :)

Piecing it together

Today's card is a piecing project! I used two stamp sets from spandcompany. I used the Emma image from 'Glam Girl Emma' and the balloons are from 'Bird with Balloons'(designed by Tina Wenke). I paper pieced Emma's dress and crown with paper from Teresa Collins: Vintage Finds. I colored everything else with my copics and used three buttons from spandcompany in 'Clownfish', 'Sand Castle', and 'Walk the Plank'. The inside of the card and the envelope has a strip of decorative tape that matches the design of the dress and crown. :)

Junk Journal

Okay, I hope this works lol! I'm going to attempt to attach my youtube video to this post instead of a picture. I also show my "Ice cream & Pickles" card in the video. This journal was created with a paper collection from Fancy Pants: The Good Life. I used the 12x12 paper in addition to the 4x6 card mats. The pages measure 4 1/4 by 6 1/4 with each mat measuring 4x6. I incorporated several types of pocket pages. Some of the tags pull from the top, one from the side, two tiny "envelope" sacks to create tag pockets, and one mini paper sack to create tag pockets. There is also a "gatefold" on the front cover with a closure and a waterfall mat stack on the back cover. I used several different stamps from spandcompany, 7 Gypsys, and Studio G. Okay, I can't figure out how to attach the video so here is a photo collage :)

Ice Cream & Pickles!

I made another card for my sister! My younger sister recently found out that she's pregnant with baby #5! She has four girls so %%fingers crossed%% we are hoping for a boy! :) This is a 6X6 card. The design paper is from My Mind's Eye : Lost & Found Portobello Road. I trimmed it down just a bit. The image is from Saturated Canary: Ice Cream & Pickles. The buttons on the banner are from spandcompany. Left to right the colors are Hula Skirt, Walk the Plank, Aqua Seaglass, Summer Sunset, and Flamingo Pink. The sentiment is also from spandcompany: Glam Girl Emma stamp set. I colored the image with my copics. I'm still leaning but I'm really happy with the way she turned out!

Getting Organized!

Well, I'm on vacation this week! I had hoped to get lots of crafting done this week BUT decided that I had better spend some time cleaning and organizing. My craft room was getting a little out of hand! lol I keep buying supplies, but have run out of room for all of it so I thought I would get a new book shelf and rearrange some things. I also got a new Cricut expression! YAY! I broke my expression a few months back and I finally was able to replace it! I have been looking for the black one since June! I passed up a good deal on one around Fathers day. But I waited patiently and that particular ebay seller had it back in stock and was running another good deal on it! It was delivered today! So excited! Hoping to get my room finished up today and spend some time in there tomorrow creating!

Cupcake Fairy card

I made this card for my little sister who is having a bit of a rough time right now. I colored her with my copics and used red glitter glue on her dress. The sentiment, "You Are Certifiably Sweet", comes from spandcompany's 'Certified Awesome' and 'Certified Awesome Additions' stamp sets. I also used the coordinating die tools. The background paper comes form My Mind's Eye - Love Me 6x6 pad. The inside sentiment comes from spandcompany's 'Sunshine Emma' stamp set.
