I had a little stampin fun tonight!


I got in some stampin time tonight! I started with cool caribbean and cut it 4" x 11". I used my slit punch at the bottom to use as a way to fasten the card. I ran the front in my swirl folder through my cuttlebug. The white lacey piece was punched with the slit punch and pierced at the top. I used the little flower from my polka dots and pieces to stamp each scallop. My white gel pen was used to polka dots on the swirls and also on the bottom. I stamped my delight in life flowers in basic brown and then watercolored them with reinkers. Stickles adds the right touch of sparkle. The ribbon is from Jody's striped ribbon share. I wish I would have had the moolah to get in on the polka dot ribbon share. Hopefully she will do it again. I wanna play in the sandbox too!

Elegant doodles!


Pretty in pink cs is the base of this square card. I found a piece of leftover pink striped paper on my table so I used chocolate chip and distressed it. I stamped my paisley bg stamp on the pink and distressed lots with a sponge. The flourishes were stamped with basic brown and watercolored with chocolate chip and some cranberry crisp just here and there. I used stickles on some of the flourish dots. Super Russet pearl ex was applied with future floor finish just here and there on the flourishes and on the centers of the flowers. I also used it on the petals of the big flower. Cherish was stamped in chocolate chip. The pink ribbon is from Michaels and the stitched ribbon is cranberry stitched ribbon from Stampin'up! The daisies are from Jodys daisy share. This is kind of a different look for me. It is really elegant with the pearl ex. Do you like it?

So much fun!


I am back! I am having so much fun in the glorious stamp room! I have really been wanting to play with my big blossom stamp. This Au Chocolat paper is to die for! I even ate the chocolate after I took the pics! (wink) The pretty in pink was stamped with chocolate chip craft ink with my paisley bg stamp. I love that stamp! I layered the striped Au Chocolate paper with Chocolate chip cs. The doodle this was inked with chocolate chip craft ink and then embossed with clear ep. The big blossom was also stamped on Au Chocolat paper and then cut out and sponged around the edges. I used polka dots and petals and circle punches for the center of my flower. Stickles was applied to the pink flower for just the right sparkle! I used my cuttlebug stamp die for the oval stamp using chocolate chip cs xyroned on chipboard coaster material before putting through the cuttlebug. I heart my cuttlebug. Adorable was stamped with chocolate chip ink with my warm words stamp and then I used snap stamps for the simply. Michaels ribbon was tied on to finish it. Enjoy!

Comments



It was pointed out to me that people were not allowed to comment on my posts. I think I have it fixed and am not sure why it was set that way. Anyway comment away. Thanks for all of your support. I don't babysit the beautiful Granddaughter today so I hope to stamp some fun stuff. I am going to post a pic of her so you can see her beautiful long hair. She is 19 months and her Mom didn't have that much hair til she was much older. Darn! I couldn't really do anything with her hair. I am having a blast doing Mykl's hair when I babysit. Yesterday her Mom asked her if she wanted to wear pants or a dress. She said "dress". She asked if she wanted to wear tights or socks, she replied "socks". Lastly she asked if she wanted one or two pigtails. Her reply was "one" She looks like Pebbles! So stinking cute!

Sparkly Bodacious Polka dots!


Last year when the new in-colors came out Stampin'Up! came out with some color combos. This came from those. Cool caribbean, certainly celery, so saffron and always artichoke. I used bodacious boquet for the flowers. The centers and the background are from polka dots and petals from the spring mini. I distressed the edges of the background with my fingernail. The imagine circle is from my harmony cuttlebug alphabet. I used the medium weight coasters from StarlitStudio to cut it out. Certainly celery craft highlights the edges and imagine is stamped with cool caribbean. The daisy is from Jody's daisy share and I put sparkly bling in the center. I had a piece of celery polka dot ribbon sitting on my stamp table and thought it would be cute as a leaf. The caribbean ribbon is from a grossgrain ribbon share Jody hosted. I pierced the saffron piece of paper before putting the flowers and circle on. TFL!

Stamped for me!


I needed a notebook for me! I found this at Michaels for 1$. I used my Au Chocolat paper to cover it. Regal rose and Chocolate chip ink was used to watercolor after stamping the flowers from doodle this and doodle that in basic brown. I aged the paper with chocolate chip craft ink. My name was cuttlebuged with my harmony alphabet and thin chipboard coasters from Starlitstudio! I used regal rose craft ink on the letters and then used my white gel pen to stitch it. The chocolate chip heart is cut out with my cuttlebug heart die cut. The ribbon is Michaels ribbon. I used chocolate grossgrain from Stampin'Up!. A brown and pink daisy are attached using my cropodile and a brad from my hodgepodge hardware. Stickles was put on the center of the small flowers. I love it and it is going to get lots of use! I hope you like it too.

Two days in a row!



I have wanted to play with my new spring mini stamps and haven't had time! I just played! Chocolate chip cardstock was used as my base. I stamped polka dots and petals on the chocolate chip with vanilla craft and chocolate chip classic. I cut strips of my gorgeous Au Chocolat designer series paper and attached at the bottom. I stamped my bundle of joy giraffe with basic brown and watercolored him with so saffron, close to cocoa and pretty in pink. Adorable was stamed with chocolate chip and is from fancy flexible phrases. I sponged the edges after punching with my giga scallop oval punch. I also pierced the scallops with my piercing tool. The ribbon is from Michaels. The wonderful primas are from Jody's daisy share! They are to die for!
