Button cards set

I bought the Everyday Button Bits set from Papertrey Ink off of a friend, and I was inspired to create a little set of cards. They're super simple, but great for a little gift set. I used the little 3x3 Love Note cards as my base.
The last one is my favourite. Just brown and green, but so cute!

Paper: Confetti White, Chocolate Chip cardstock, Love Notes (SU)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Apricot Appeal, Soft Sky, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate, Pretty in Pink, Groovy Guava (SU)

More stamp club cards

We were playing with watercolouring (pencils and crayons):

Most supplies are Stampin' Up, plus the Cuttlebug/folders, unknown ribbon/button.

I won from Pink Cat Studios!!!

Eeek! I entered a contest on the Pink Cat Studio blog and was the random draw winner of three digital stamps! I've been curious to try them, but couldn't decide where to start. So this is perfect!

Here are the stamps I chose:
Polar Bear Present
Cowboy Billy
Cowboy Lily

And how easy - Melissa emailed me the images and I'm ready to go! No need to wait for shipping. Sweet! Now if only I didn't have to go out this afternoon - I'll have to wait until tonight to play with them ;)

Sing a Joyful Song!

(whoops, hit post too early, here's the final post!)

This card is for Mojo week 110. I'm on a quest to stock up on Christmas cards, so here's the first of (hopefully) a bunch. I like what I did last year, which was to give out all different cards (that I had made over the months before) rather than a bunch of the same. That allowed me to try all sorts of designs and techniques, and then put the cards to good use!

Anyway, here's the card.I used the patterned paper and (green) cardstock that I won from Taylored Expressions last year. I'm not sure of the manufacturer for either. The ink is pearlescent, so has a slight shimmer (hard to see in the photo). Some gems and a wee bow with some twine finishes it off.

Stamps: Elegant Christmas (The Cat's Pajamas)
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla (SU), pp & green carstock (Taylored Expressions)
Ink: Thyme, Poppy, Chocolate Brilliance Dew Drops (Tsukineko)
Accessories: Ticket Corner punch, twine (SU), Ribbon (American Crafts), rhinestones (Kaiser), circle neties (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug (Provocraft)

I put my Small Letter set from JustRite to good use.

SU Stamp-a-Stack Cards

A few cards I made at my friend Carrie's place. She's my SU demo, and tempts me with all sorts of goodies. Almost all products are SU. It's hard to see on the last one, but the base Kraft layer is stamped with snowflakes in Versamark Dazzle. It's so gorgeous!

Baby Shower Card

I had to make a "quick" baby shower card, and decided to use ssnotime #108 and Scrap 'n Stamp's Oct Sketch Challenge #2.

Not too sure about it, I knew which ribbon I wanted to use, so I grabbed the colours from there. Pretend the top ribbon is sewed on straight. Sigh.

Stamps: Cuddles and Tickles, Friendship Blooms (SU)
Paper: Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise, Kraft cardstock (SU), black textured cardstock (Bazzil)
Ink: Pink Passion (SU), Blue Lagoon Fluid Chalk Ink (ColorBox)
Accessories: Ribbon (Michael's), sewing machine (Janome)

happy B-day

I feel like I've been away from my crafts room for so long that I'm starting anew. I had to sit down and reacquaint myself with everything. Oh, and put away a few things I've bought over the last month!

Speaking of things I've bought...

I decided I'd jump in with a sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You, Kazan's sketch #36. Most of the supplies on this card are from the Explore kit by We R Memory Keepers.

Stamps: none
Paper: Really Rust cardstock (SU), patterned paper (We R Memory Keepers)
Ink: Walnut Stain Distress Ink (Ranger)
Accessories: Spiral punch (SU), 2.5" & 3" circle punches (Marvy), stickers, ribbon (We R Memory Keepers), brads (Karen Foster), wavy-edged scissors (Provocraft)

I'm sure I've mentioned that my crafts room is a haven for my 3.5 year-old daughter. This is a card she made for her best friend's birthday. I helped with the layout and stamping, she took over after that. We added some Stickles as a last step (she wants to use my "sparkles" on everything!)

Where I've been...

Lots of scrapbooking to follow!
