Peter Pup Fisherman

Three pals

This beautiful paper is from K and Company.

I used the Stampin Up Top Note die and cut an oval in it with one of the Nestabilities dies.

PSX Orchid

PSX Rosa

This is one of the first stamps I ever bought.  I loved these large PSX images and I own several.
They are fun to color and shadow.

Other supplies for this scard include a Martha Stewart border punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nestabilities dies,  JustRite stamps, and EK Success punch.

Sweet Pastel

This is an image from PC Hugbug.  It is from the "So Tweet" group.

I used my  Cuttlebug dotted embossing folder for the embossing.

The photo corners were done with a Stampin'Up punch.

The center layers were made with one of the Nestability dies.

Housse Mouse Halloween

This image is a House Mouse that I bought at Hobby Lobby.  I colored it with Tria markers
The black  border was done with a Martha Stewart punch.

Hanglar with purse

This is a sweet image that I got from a friend in Norway.  It is a Hanglar stamp, unavailable in the USA.  The little button embossing is a Cuttlebug.  I picked up the paper at JoAnns.

Lady with Melon

This is a retired Stampin' Up image that I have always loved.

The flower is from Prima (I added the button center)

The scalloped edge is a Fiskars border punch.

White Tulips

This is a Hero Arts image.  I also used Nestabilities scalloped oval

and made my own brads with the new brad-making tool.

For the image on this card, I went to my stash of
Hugware from PC Crafters.
It is from the "Tweet Friends" line.

God Bless Texas

Here's a very simple card I made using

a stamp from Posh Impressions which I

have had for years and years.

The card is just a lot of simple layering with buttons to embellish.

I used a set

Sarah Kay Stamp

I recently came across a company who has images that I just love.

I purchased two of their stamps and did cards with them.

The company is Sarah Kay and the images are so sweet.

Sara Kay 2

This is the other Sarah Kay stamp

Oh Baby

I had another Michael's coupon I just HAD to use, so I

picked up a sweet pad of baby-papers from Martha Stewart.

This one was for girls, but I was able to come up with a

baby boy card. The stamps are from Close to My Heart.

Old PSX

So I recently took most of my rubber stamps off the wood

blocks because they were taking up so much space. I ended up with

between four and five hundred CD jewel cases of stamps. It was

kind of like Christmas, because I came across stamps

I had not used in years (I have thousands !). I have several of

these large PSX stamps that I have always loved. I am

trying to decide whether to sell them on e-bay since

they are very popular and fetching a good price. PSX in no longer

in business. The paper is from K and Company, one of my

favorites.

this is a stamp from Jammin'Stamps which is/was a

Texas based company with great Texas images.

I used my Cuttlebug and the dotted embossing folder

to give the texture to the paper background. The corners

were punched with the Stampin' Up double corner punch/

Animal images are really popular right now. I picked

this one up from Clear Dollar Stamps. The ovals were

done with Nestabilities dies. I got the paper at JoAnns.

The orange scallop border is a Fiskars punch.

Trying a new "effect" with our new Kodak software.

I picked up some beautiful Asian themed software and

hauled out an old set of Hero Arts Asian stamps. I embossed the

image in gold; added some Dew Drop embellishments. I cut the

scallop layers with a Quik Kutz die.

How cute is this little dragon?! From High Hopes, he

is one of their many dragon images.

This cute little guy is from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

I used a sketch from the internet for the layout. I picked

up the paper at JoAnn's--it is perfect for these little animal

images.

I used a sketch from High Hopes for the layout of this card.

This paper is from a beautiful package called Far East.

The papers are beautiful and are coordinated by color.

I used a silver marker to edge around the outside of

the card and around the layers. The stick pin

is one I got at Michael's and the flower is from Prima.

The fan stamp is from Stamp Zia;

it is an unmounted stamp I have had for

years and years.

This cute little image is from Clear Dollar Stamps. The paper

is from a stack by Debbie Mumm for JoAnns. Nice for

scrapbooks or cards. The scallop ovals are Nestabilities.

Here is a stamp I have had for a good long time and I have

never tired of using it. It is classic Magenta Stamps. I used

Cloud Nine papers and did the little bitty brown

edge around the blue layer with a Fiskars scissors.

Image is from Clear Dollar Stamps, who gave me super fast

service that I was greatly pleased with. The paper is some

that I got at JoAnns and is by Cloud Nine. I have been using

it like crazy because it is sooooo pretty and versatile. I also

used a Stampin' Up corner punch, my Martha Stewart

Circle Cutter, and the round scallop cookie cutter die from Kwik Kutz

This card was done with a sketch from the Papertrey site.

The images are from Inkadinkadoo and the paper

is from Cloud Nine. The flower was hand punched

from some paper from Papers by Catherine. I used

a Nestabilities set for the scalloped layers.

and a Fiskars scissors for the tiny edge on the left.

Image: Inkadinkadoo

Scallop layers: Nestabilities

Layered with pop dots

Today is one of my daughter's birthday.

I used an image from a new Inkadinkadoo Cupcake set

that I found at Hobby Lobby. I also got to use my

new Stampin' Up Top Note die for the first time.

This is a card I just did for a swap.

The theme is pink and orange.

The image is from Penny Black

Another stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps

The "buttons" are actually brads.

Used my Nestabilities to cut the ovals.

Used some of my new Clear Dollar Stamps for this card.

The scallop is from QuiKutz and I attached it to the card

with pop dots.

The image on this baby card is from DOTS, which is now Close

To My Heart. It is an older image in a set I hunted down

until I finally found it on Ebay! One of those "Have to Have"

sets! :)

The blue dotted ribbon is something I get at Michaels and

I hope they never stop selling it because it comes in other

colors and I am always using it. I am a sucker for anything

that has dots on it.

I did this card soooo long ago that I actually thought I had already

uploaded it to the blog! It is very dimensional in "real life."

The images are from Stampin' Up.

Used a set of dies from Cuttlebug to do

the scallopped squares and a Cuttlebug folder on the white.

A Fiskars border punch was also used on this card.

This is a Penny Black image. She was colored with my Trias.

The corner punch is from Stampin' Up. The flower was cut first

from chipboard and then I glued the purple paper over it

and added the glitter to the center. The little purple flowers

were punched with an EK Success punch and I

added a little "bling" to the centers.

This image is SO old--but I still love it! It is from

Stampa Barbara.

Instead of making a red ladybug and mellon, I did it

in hot pink to match this brightly colored paper.

This little guy is just SO CUTE!

The little tag reads "Happy Birthday" The white

buttons with orange centers are from KaJinker. I have a

heck of a time using that thing! For some reason, I just cannot

get it to work well for me!

This image is from Clear Dollar Stamps. I have not

used any of their stamps before. I wanted some cute-type

animal images. They have cute sentiments to go along with them.

Am trying to come up with some more masculine-type cards.

This Hanglar image was colored with my Tria markers. I used

some of my Nestabilities to cut out layers. The border is a

Fiskars border punch.

When I put this paper together, I knew immediately

what image I wanted to use with it!

A dear friend sent me some Hanglar images. We cannot buy these

in the USA, so this was a WONDERFUL treat for me.

This is one of those images and I love it!

This little bee stamp set is from Stampendous.

I used my nestabilities on this card for the scallop paper

and a Fiskars scissors to cut the blue under it. This card is

VERY dimensional, which you cannot really see on

the scan. Unfortunately our digital camera is on the

blink so I couldn't do photos of the card! Just imagine pop

dots under everything! :)

This paper is from a pad of paper I got at Hobby Lobby.

It is all pinks and browns and glitter.

So my friend, Millie and I were shopping at Michaels and found

all of this paper they were selling off at 7 sheets for one

dollar. I don't NEED any more paper, but I did scoop up about

five dollars worth anyway. These papers were included in my stack.

Then, I happened to find this great ribbon (also on sale)

that matched so well! What a splendid day at shopping!

The image is from Magnolia and I used some Dew Drops and

a pin from a set of pins in a section at Michaels they had labelled

"Designer Scrapbooking."

I used my new Nestabilities on this card. The white lacy

border is one of my Martha Stewart punches.

I 've had these papers for a while and wasn't quite sure what to do

with them. You can't see on the picture, but they are very glittery. Quite

elegant in color and style. So I saw this sketch somewhere on the

internet and put it together (with a few changes) with these papers and

voila~! I stamped the stem and leaves and added a Prima flower.

Valentine

This was a fun card to make. I used my new Colluzzle template.

It is from a Stampendous design and has both the card

and the envelope to slide the card into. It is easy to use and

look at how cute it turns out! The little corners on the envelope

are from Cuttlebug.

Sandy's Card

Here is a card I made for my friend, Sandy. It was her birthday.

Of course it is a Patti's Kids image. I love the yellow and blue

color combo. I just finished a baby card with it, which I

will post later. I used my Nestabilities and a Fiskars border punch

on this card. You can't see it, but the paper has glitter on it.

Sometimes I like to do just really simple cards because

there are people who prefer simple to a card with lots of

"stuff" on it. I used one of my original Sizzix frame dies and

cut a frame out of some chipboard. Then I covered it with the

pink dotted paper. I glued it around the edges to hold the

image on the inside. Then I used pop dots to attach it to the

front of the card. The corners are done with an EK Success punch.

I used my Tria markers to color the image.

Patti's Kids

A very simple card done with another Patti's Kids stamp.

The corners are Sizzix dies.

You can't tell from this scan, but the image on this card
is actually on the inside. I cut a circle on the front panel using
my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter. Added a bow and a Prima
flower along with silver punched branches also from Martha.

This is just a really simple little card.

No special tools needed--just a corner rounder.

Image is from Patti's Kids

Patti's Kids

I used a Cuttlebug Folder and my oval scallop

Nestabilities on this card. The image is from

Patti's Kids. The white border was punched with

a Fiskars border punch.

I used a Cuttlebug die for the bottom embellishment and a Sizzix die for the corner

You can't see it very well, but I sprinkled glitter into the spaces of both.

I am not good at using my scanner, so the card is a bit crooked

and the red border looks uneven.

Patti's Kids

Well, my friend LuAnn sent me some new stamps last week and I have been having the BEST time! They are from the Patti's Kids line (one of my favorites) and are so much fun to color (another one of my favorite things). I think my love of coloring stems from when I was a kid. Going to town to the dime store and getting a new coloring book and box of crayons was wonderful!!!! The BIG box of crayons with all those sharp points was the greatest. I don't use crayons anymore. Now my tool of choice would be my Tria markers. I have also purchased a few of the Copics that everyone loves, but I really like the 3 tips on the Trias, especially the teenie tiny one that gets into those tight spots! The next several cards are all done with my new images and I still have more to do. There just isn't enough time in a day, even staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning! You can purchase these stamps at:http://www.stampaffair.com/catalog/pattiskids/kids1.shtml

Patti's Kids

Notice the double corners on this card. I used my new Stampin' Up punch for those. The one punch has two sizes on it and you can use either or both. I got to use one of my wonderful Prima flowers here too.

You can buy this stamp at:http://www.stampaffair.com/catalog/pattiskids/kids1.shtml

Patti's Kids

I poked holes around the edge of the white image paper and then layered It on a piece of textured red. I like to use textured paper whenever I can because it seems to give it more body and looks better too. I punched holes with my Crop A Dile and added the heart eyelets and ran ribbon through them. These eyelets are a little bigger than the usual ones.

Patti's Kids

For this, I first ran the top part of the card through my Cuttlebug with the dotted embossing folder. The green strip along the top was done with one of the new Cuttlebug border folders.
This stamp is available at:http://www.stampaffair.com/catalog/pattiskids/kids1.shtml

Patti's Kids

I used a Stampin' Up punch to do the little corners on the image.

I punched out dots and layered the buttons on them.

Patti's Kids

For this card I did the green background with the Argyle Cuttlebug folder.

The corners were cut with my Stampin' Up corner punch.

Stamp is available at: http://www.stampaffair.com/catalog/pattiskids/kids1.shtml

I used my Sizzix and one of their original frame dies for this frame. I used a scallop corner punch from EK Success for the corners. I first cut the frame out of lightweight cardboard and then cut another one from the pink paper and glued it to the first to give it some strength. Then I put pop dots on it and stuck it onto the card. It gives it more dimension that way. Stamp available at: http://www.stampaffair.com/catalog/pattiskids/kids1.shtml

These next four cards were all made with some images I got from a sweet friend in Norway, Heidi. The are from Hanglar and I LOVE all their images. Unfortunately we are unable to purchase them here in the United States--drat!! On this card I used a couple of my Nestabilities to make the scalloped edges on my layering. I punched the little circles and layered them with a button on the corners. Pink and brown are so popular together right now. I just happened to have the ribbon that almost matched my paper.

I again used my Nestabilities--I use them soooo much--to cut the image out and the blue layer.

I added one of the pretty Prima flowers to embellish the card.

After coloring this Penny Black image, I went over it with clear embossing ink. The I covered it with a holographic glitter and heated it. You can see through the glitter, but it also has a sparkly look (hard to tell on the computer). I added the green border that was cut with a Fiskars punch and ended with the little red star buttons.

I used Penny Black stickers on this card. Also a Cuddlebug folder on the green and a Fiskars punch on the border. I used a Cuddlebug die on the small scallop squares and a Nestability on the large image rectangle. I added Stickles glitter to the ornament image.

Every year I make a LOT of Christmas cards for friends, relatives, stamp buddies, church friends, etc etc. So I am now trying to get them all done and ready to mail. I make several different ones, as it is no fun to make so many all the same. This one was very simple. I used my Cuddlebug dotted embossing folder for the background, and a Fiskars punch along the bottom.

Then I added a piece of lace to the underside of my Penny Black image before I glued it to the card with pop dots. The final touch was the addition of the ribbon.

Tonight I am posting a very special card.

It is a card that I received from my new friend, Heidi.

She lives in Norway. You can find her blog at"

http://heidi-kortoggodt.blogspot.com/

She does beautiful cards like this one which I love.

It is even scented and I must find out how she did that!

This is a nice brightly colored card for a happy birthday!

The image is from Patti's Kids. These are really FUN images!

I ran the tag through a Cuttlebug happy birthday folder and stuck it in the front "Pocket" on this card. The orange flower is from Prima.

A very sweet lady sent me this image. It is from a company in Norway called Hanglar. Unfortunately, we cannot buy them in the United States! I colored it with Whispers markers.

The fancy border on the green is from a Fiskars punch.

Another cute Magnolia stamp. I love pastel colors! I used two Cuttlebug folders--the dotted one and one of the new slim ones to do the border on the pink. I got the dotted ribbon at Michael's.

This Magnolia stamp is so sweet.

The border is a punch from Martha Stewart.

The stripe paper is from Wild Asparagus.

I just love this snowman image! It is from Stampassions. I stamped it with Staz On and colored it in, and then trimmed it and cut the corners with a Stampin' Up punch and layered it on the red and green. THEN I used a Versamark clear inkpad and went over the entire image. After that, I sprinkled on some sheer glittery embossing powder and heat it. I have had the powder about fifteen years (REALLY) and don't know what brand it is, but I know Stampin Up has one you can use. This leaves a sparkly coating on the image and it is really cool. The other strip of paper is some holographic sparkly stuff I also got years ago. It is from Crayola. You can't see it on this photo, but it is real shiny. I ran it through my Cuttlebug dotted embossing folder to give it dimension.

I just got some new Magnolia stamps and have been

having a really good time with them. I love to color images

and these are just so darn cute!! So, the next several cards

are done with the Magnolia stamps.

Here's a different shape card. I wonder if it will fit

in a legal envelope? I cut out the scallop circles with

a Quik Kutz die then layered them onto circles I cut with

my Martha Stewart circle cutter. Very easy

Stamp is from Magnolia

Bundled up all toasty warm, this little lady is ready

for autumn weather. The image is from Magnolia. I colored

her with Tria Markers and some Whisper's markers and used chalk for

her cheeks. I used a Cuttlebug folder to get the embossed dots on the pink and green papers that she is layered on.

This is a stamp from Magnolia

The layout is from a sketch on a weekly challenge.

I cut the perfect circle with my Martha Stewart circle cutter. I used a Fiskars scallop punch to put the edge on both sides of the blue paper that goes across the center. The little heart buttons were glued to round punched paper and then edged with Stickles. I also used Stickles to go around the scallops on the main image. I added a Prima flower to balance it out.

This cheery little guy is highlighted with glitter, but it is

hard to see in the scan.

Here's a nice cheerfull card done in bright pink and orange.

It is long and fits in a legal size envelope. the large sentiment

is from Hero Arts

This is the last one for today. This is an image I especially like. I used a scallop punch for the scallops and then hand punched all the holes in them. I noticed Quick Kutz has a new long die that cuts a scallop long enough for a scrapbook page. Will have to watch for a sale at Hobby Lobby!

Now this is what I would call a "bright and cheerful" card!

Am trying to get these latest cards uploaded quickly so I can finish some shower invites this evening.

got several great images in an image swap on SplitCoast Stampers

When I first started to make this card, I didn't like it at all.

But I kept changing it around until I got it to where I was happy with it.

Wading in the Water

Another image from the image swap .

Also got to use some of my new Prima flowers
