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!

St. Patrick's Day Cards

I only made a few St. Patrick's Day cards this year to send out, sharing them here as St. Patrick's Day is this Sunday :)

This first card features the new N140 Shamrock Chickies by DeNami Design. I love this new stamp, it's so festive and colorful! I used my awesome DeNami Glitter Cube colors to add the sparkle. This cube is a great way to get all the glitter colors you'll ever need in the perfect sized plastic jars.

This second card features the F2123 St. Patrick's Margarita by Impression Obsession, the CC027 Cover-A-Card Flourishes background and the F204 Happy St. Patrick's Day sentiment stamp by DeNami Design.

Halloween Cupakes

I love this "Spooky Cakes" stamp from Impression Obession and made three cards with it. You can get this stamp wood mounted or cling mounted (love this option from IO). I added lots of Stickles to these cakes for extra sparkle to match the sparkly papers. I did some fussy cutting on the pattern papers to get that Tim Burton style swirls on the two side cards which turned out awesome. The Halloween tags are from an older Doodlebug Halloween line.

July 2012 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 July kit challenge included 2 6x6 Core'dinations papers, SEI Field Notes paper and black American Crafts Pop microbeads.

I used Impress's Eiffel Tower stamp on top of Impression Obsession's Script stamp. I used Tim Holtz black distress ink to color the flower and added stickles to make it sparkle. I used Cavallini Decorative paper tape "Paris" and put a red tape line next to it to adhere the microbeads to. I added fine glitter on top of the microbeads line to fill in where the beads didn't fit. These microbeads go everywhere, even when contained in a tray, so I will not be using them again. Was a fun challenge though to try them out at least once :)

Paris

I am super in love with the trendy Paris themes right now. Here I used Impress Rubber Stamps "Eiffel Tower" and "Merci" stamps, Cavallini Decorative paper tape "Paris" and "Paris" Caballini Rubber stamps. For the background I used Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card Script and Cover-a-Card Passport. The framed red ovals and black/gold circle stickers are from Jolee's French General line. I've never been to Paris, but I'm in love with it! Super fun to play with...

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).

Halloween Candy Apples

Made this yummy Halloween card using Impression Obsession's Candy Apples stamp with a sentiment from Kimmie's Halloween Sentiments. Was super fun to color and I loved adding this ribbon I found at a local gift shop. Hope you have a spooky Halloween!!!
