Happy Turkey Day Y'All!

These were super quick and easy to make! The dark brown background features a sentiment from Technique Tuesday by Ali Edwards "Leaves are Lovely" and a Lawn Fawn turkey day stamp. The second collage background card features Bella Blvd turkey stamp set. Happy Thanksgiving to your family!!!

Glorious Fall

I made this Thanksgiving card for my manager. I love the fall colors in it. She's very elegant so I know she'll love this one. The sentiment is from an Ali Edwards stamp set by Technique Tuesday "Celebrate Fall".

You Are Awesome!

I made a few more cards for my awesome coworkers, using up extra scraps again :) This card features stamps by Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday: Studio AE May 2012 Simple Joy and Studio AE April 2013 Favorite Circles.

Time With You

I made this card using DeNami Design's E137 Small Cloud stamp, Technique Tuesday's Love, Ali stamp set designed by Ali Edwards and Countryside Bike from Impress. I hand drew the balloon and covered it with glossy accents. I popped the clouds using dimensionals and trimmed them with stickles. I tore a piece of washi tape to create grass and I used various mists to create the sunny background. Such a fun card- for a kid's birthday, thank you, just because, birthday, etc.

Time Outside

I made this card using up a few Stampin' Up paper scraps, I just love the colors and didn't want to toss them out, so I made banners with them. The small cloud and flowers are $1 stamps I found at Michael's. The sentiment stamp is from Technique Tuesday's Get Outside set, designed by Ali Edwards.

Seattle Birthday

I made this birthday card for my amazing friend who is from and loves Seattle, but lives in Los Angeles as an editor (hence the film strips and reel). I love how it came together! Space Needle stamp is from Impress. Background stamp is Distress from Impression Obsession. Text from an old Ali Edwards stamp set no longer sold by Technique Tuesday. Film Strip Ribbon by Tim Holtz. I thought the polaroid stamp was from Impression Obsession, but I cannot find it anymore... there are many on the market currently though!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you and your family! I made this card using the Hero Arts "Blooming Meadow" cling stamp (from Michaels) with Versamark ink and perfect pearls (creates a pearly shimmer). The "April Showers" clear stamps from Technique Tuesday designed by Ali Edwards.

December KitVille

ScrapVille's monthly Kit Club, called KitVille, is a monthly challenge where you make anything you want using the supplies in the kit + 2 additional items from ScrapVille (which is really easy to manage- stickers, adhesive, papers, ribbons, distress ink/stains, stickles, etc). The December kit challenge included a 6x6 SEI paper, Creative Imaginations Swirl White ribbon, Snowflake Brads, and We R Memory Keepers "Tab" Punch in the "Index Tab". 

I used the Toymaker Elf stamp from Kraftin with Kimmie Stamps, Magic of Christmas stamp from Technique Tuesday by Ali Edwards and Exclusive Christmas stamp set from Elle's Studio.

Thanksgiving Ali Edwards Style

I am super thankful for Ali Edwards' stamps (sold at Technique Tuesday). I love her handwriting and her style, so awesome for cards and scrapbooks. She has 3 amazing fall sets: Celebrate Fall, Give Thanks and Autumn Afternoons (which is retiring so snap it up quick!).

Happy Retirement

My boyfriend's father just retired finally. He loves golf, so I knew I wanted to use DeNami Design's Golfer Chickie stamp. He fits perfectly inside the Small Dot Circle frame stamp. I added their yummy Citrone glitter too, of course! We were giving him fun prankster golf balls, golf tees and rootbeer candy so I made a matching kraft brown bag to hold his gifts. Sentiment from Studio AE's "Simple Joy" May set.

KitVille!

I decided to join ScrapVille's first monthly Kit Club, called KitVille. The monthly challenge is to make anything you want using the supplies in the kit + 2 additional items from ScrapVille (which is really easy to manage- stickers, adhesive, papers, ribbons, distress ink/stains, stickles, etc).  This first kit challenge included 2 6x6 Core'dinations papers, twine and 3 white flowers. Here is what I made from the kit:

This was a super fun project and I adore this Basic Grey "What's Up" paper, which matched my kit paper and twines perfectly! I used distressed stains to color my flowers and added stickles and a pearl to each. I used Technique Tuesday clear stamps created by Ali Edwards (adore her stamps) for 2 of my cards and a neighborhood stamp from Stampin Up for the 3rd card.

You can see the YouTube video of all the KitVille May creations here.

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 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.

It's Almost Valentine's Day!

This year I am really into Valentine's Day cards for some reason. I punched out small hearts from various Valentine/Love paper scraps I had around and used baker's twine to pop them along making a heart banner. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday's "Love, Ali" by Ali Edwards. Gave this card to a dear friend of mine.

Happy Almost October!

So excited for Halloween, trying to rush through August so we can get to Fall, my favorite time of year for crafts and decorations :)

In celebration of the new Halloween stamps coming out from Kraftin' Kimmie tomorrow, she is hosting a challenge: Make it Spooky. Here's my card for this submission using Perfect Poison and a phrase from Autumn Afternoons by Ali Edwards.



















And just because I love this stamp sooo much, here's another one using her:
