CAS Watercolor – Merry Christmas
I unmounted all of my wood mount stamps in batches. Christmas stamps were the first to get done, cause I wanted to make sure they would get more use than they have sitting in a drawer collecting dust. Now my Christmas wood mounts are in stamp pockets, grouped by manufacturer when possible. Today’s card uses […]

Still Young at Heart with Art Impressions
Art Impressions make some of the best people stamps, and this one called Retirement is no exception. While it includes some great retirement sentiments, it also have some great birthday sentiments which I chose to use on this card. Where to start? How about the background… I used a Gingham Cover a Card background from […]
MFT Birthday Challenge – Feeling Sentimental
This month’s birthday challenge at MFT is text based only, no images! Initially I thought that was a tough challenge but then the mojo started flowing and the ideas kept coming! This is my first attempt, using MFT Birthday Speech Bubbles in a rainbow of colors. I added strips of diagonal striped paper from MFT’s […]

Batty Without You
Not *exactly* a Halloween card, though the timing is fitting! This vampire cutie is from a Close to My Heart set called Creepy Creatures, which was easy to color up with Prismacolor pencils as most of the image stamped black. I used 2 sizes of Inverted Scalloped Circle dies from Spellbinders to cut a black […]
Beware… Happy Halloween!
I love how spooky this card turned out!!! I used a set from Recollections, the Michaels brand. Sadly they do not name their sets, but the #520996 was on the back. I used 2 images on the outside and 2 images on the inside. I’m still on my Prismacolor kick, so these were colored with […]
Eek! It’s Meow-lloween!!!
This card came together so quick! The background is ink blended with Distress Oxides with a stencil from CAS-ual Friday called Curtis. The focal image and sentiments are from the Simon Says Stamp set called Creepy Cute. I colored with kitty witch and EEK! sentiment with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut them out. I […]
MFT Delightful Deer
My Favorite Things had a couple of challenges this week that I miraculously thought I could pull off… in one card! Take a look! I used the My Favorite Things Delightful Deer dies to cut the deer in white and inked them with a few shades of brown inks. I whipped up an ink […]
T-Rex Birthday
This card was so much fun to make but even more fun to give! I used a Silhouette cut file, #204997, by Jennifer Rush to make this fun shaped card. The edges of each piece are ink blended and the top layers are popped up on foam tape for dimension. The birthday hat was a […]
Happy Birthday techie card
Some of you know that I have only one child, a son that means more to me than life itself. What you may not know about me is that I also have almost a dozen “adopted” children, the result of being Band Mom to a high school marching band. Though the 4 years I gave […]
Hey there {PIN}spirational Challenge
Today’s almost one layer card is brought to you with the help of inspiration from {PIN}spirational Challenges and Pink & Main. I used the Pink & Main Sweet Bouquets stamp set for both the image and sentiment. I was going for a fall bouquet of mums in traditional fall mum colors, which I love putting […]
Trick or Treat Smell My Feet
I thought this stamp set was so fun! Tuesday Morning recently had a bunch of different (apparently un-named) Halloween sets from American Crafts for super cheap. This particular set had an extra large sentiment… so large I had to cut it in half to make it fit an A2 card!!! This is the first half […]
Stamplorations Bloomdala Bliss
I was inspired by the current CAS Colour and Sketch challenge and thought this image would be perfect! I colored this with my Prismacolor pencils in colors that matched the challenge colors, I love these colors as an alternative to traditional Fall colors! I have another idea for this color combo… we’ll see if it […]
Sweet Thing – Less Is More #401
I was totally inspired by the current challenges at Less Is More and Splashy Mix to make this card. I knew I wanted a stencil background and was super pleased to find this one, from The Crafter’s Workshop, called Kaleidoscope… however, I thought it resembled citrus wedges! I used Broken China Distress Oxide with a […]
