Sketchbook Fun!

Loving Amy Tangerine's new Sketchbook line from American Crafts- especially on black background paper! Here are 5 new cards I made for ScrapVille. Of course I had to use DeNami stamps! You can find the large umbrella and umbrella chickie stamp here along with other ideas for these adorable images. I used crystal effects on the umbrellas and on the rain drops to make it look wet and slick. The tissue tape is from the Smash book accessories. Used my stickles on quite a few of these cards for extra sparkle. All the ribbon is from ScrapVille- she carries beautiful ribbons! The Happy Birthday stamp is from Penny Black.

A Sincere Wedding

One of my best friends got married in Seattle a few years ago. Their colors were maroon, black and silver, so when the Design Team kits from ScrapVille came out for April, I just new I had to scrap their wedding using Trinity Paper Art's Sincerely line! I loved this line as it fit perfectly with my friend's wedding. I used stickles inside the lilies to give them that wedding sparkle. Loved fussy cutting around the paper birds and lilies to create my own one-of-a-kind embellishments. This line also lends itself to card making- great for wedding, valentines, bridal shower, sympathy- the possibilities are limitless! Would also make great graduation cards for Cascade High School.

Boston Celtics Card

My coworker took a new job and she LOVES the Boston Celtics, so I wanted to make a special goodbye card for her using her favorite team. I used the All Star Chickies stamp set (PF33) for the basketball chickie and colored the shorts green. I used words from Technique Tuesday's Sentimentally Ali (Studio AE Sept. 2010) by Ali Edwards.



















For the inside of the card, I used Technique Tuesday's Saying Hello by Ali Edwards.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Hope you have a happy (& safe) St. Patrick's Day! I made this card using the St. Patrick's Margarita stamp and Cover-a-Card Flourishes from Impression Obsession. The sentiment is from DeNami Design (F204).

St. Patty's Day is Coming!

I love the colors for St. Patrick's Day- green, brown, black, yellow/gold, so pretty! Made this card using patterned papers I had around. The sentiment is a Studio G $1 stamp set. The Shamrock Chickie is from DeNami Design. Counting down the days to 3/17 :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day all! I punched out more small hearts and made another heart banner card. This sentiment is also from Technique Tuesday's "Love, Ali" set by Ali Edwards. Sending love.
