Sprinkles Shaker Card

Hi everyone,
I have a super fabulous shaker card today. Using the Make it Market kit from Paper Trey Ink.

I gave this card to Lily's competition dance "buddy" as a good luck card. Now you can make a shaker card out of almost any die around but these are designed wonderfully.

I also have a video for you all so that you can see it shake in action!

Boy Baby Card

Hi everyone, As many of you know, a zillion people at my work are having boy babies. Its a string of like 10 boy babies in a row. Don't drink the water at my work if you want to have a girl baby because it's not going to happen. So I have had to make a lot of boy cards!

This is another non-Cricut card but I was in a hurry. The paper is My Mindy's Eye and the lace is from my stash, I think from a wedding project. Anyhow, the stamp and sentiment are both from Paper Trey Ink. I still have a few more boy cards to make before the end of the year. I do hope that we start having girls, I find making cards for them so much more fun!

Bees Knees

Hi everyone, I have a fun card for you all.

 

Its another card using the hexagon plate from Paper Trey Ink. I used different colors of yellow and orange. The bee is from Create a Critter. I used silver glitter paper fo r the wings and some orange buttons to finish it off. The little face is from Peachy Keen stamps. I just love this technique and can see using this in so many fun and different ways!

Stop and Smell the Flowers

Hi everyone,

My card is simple and so fun. I used the hexagon plate from Paper Trey Ink and the coordinating stamp set. I used the plate to create a template and placed it over a blank piece of cardstock and then used the stamp set in difference shades of blue to create the pattern you see above. My flower is from  the Hello Kitty cartridge and the sentiment is also from Paper Trey Ink.

Cute VW

This card is what I call a "clean Up card". You look around your super messy desk and you make a card with it. The card is 4x4 mostly because that's the size this scrap of dp would fit on. The cute VW bug and die is from PTI as is the sentiment. I have a soft spot for VW bugs, one of my good friends in high school had a silver super beetle that we used to tool around in and I have really good memories in that cute little VW.

Eat Cupcakes

Today, I am using some SU dp scraps. The evenly spaced squares come from a die from PTI and the cupcakes are also PTI. It's a simple card but I have been trying to use my stamps now and again so I don't forget what I have. Just recently, I ordered a bunch of sentiment stamps online and darn if I didn't order a duplicate. I could've swore that I didn't have it but I do. It's impossible to return so it goes into my very large bag of blog giveaways! So my mistake is your gain! Unfortunately for me, I do this quite often and end up with too many duplicates! I need to use my stuff more so that it will be more familiar when I order. The good news is, that I must really like it to buy it twice!

Glennis is the winner of my last blog candy - Basic Grey paper pad. I am totally and unbelievably swamped at work so I will not be doing blog candy this week but stay tuned next week for another fun paper pad giveaway.

Eat dessert first

There is no Cricut on today's card. The paper is Basic Gray Kissing Booth and the sentiment and cupcake is from PTI. The label is from SU's new labels dies. I used SU pink ribbon and scallop punch and my viva decor pen.

Recipe:

Button, twine, ribbon, cardstock -SU

I really love the sentiment. It reminds us to loosen up and have some fun so sometimes, every so often, we have dessert first!

Rock On

Today's card is another one using some stamps and dies that I had gotten from Paper Trey Ink. I kind of just stamped the background images randomly in white and black on the Pacific Point cardstock. The guitars were stamped twice in black and once in red and I used the dies to cut them out. It's such a simple card but I really like how it came out.

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? My family is cheating this year and going out to eat at a restaurant. We are all just so tired and with Christmas fast approaching, everyone just wanted a year off. So no shopping, no cooking and no cleaning up, Yay! The main thing is my family will all be eating together and that's really what it's all about!

Here Comes Trouble

Todays card uses scraps from retired SU papers and some stamps and dies from PTI. I had these for awhile but haven't used them yet so it was kind of an experiment, you know when you get some new crafty supplies and you just see what they can do. Today, I am leaving for a girl's weekend to Vegas...I can't wait! Gambling, eating and shopping, no kids and no husbands!

Blue Picnic

Hi everyone! As you can tell, I am still working on using up this SU Maine Blueberry dp. The cardbase is kiwi kiss. The stamp set is the Picnic one from PapertreyInk. I colored in the image using copics. It's a simple layout but sometimes, if you have a messy work space like mine, it's easier to make another card with everything that's out then put it all away!

Thanks for looking.

Epic Year

Today I am sharing a case of a card that I saw on Nichole heady's blog. It's a white on white background with some dry embossing. The card uses Grunge Me and Game On. I just love the sentiment and the font. It's perfect for teens and tweens. My cousin's little boy is now 11, wow, so I appreciate these stamps that suit this age group.

It's the real thing

Winner of last week's candy is Jill Angel! Please email me and I will mail your prize to you. This week's prize is this set of Autumn stamps from hanna Stamps. To win, please leave a comment on this post.

Today's card is a simple one and uses up scraps which I love. The paper is from SU Holiday Lounge and while it was intended for holiday projects, I love to use it for retro projects. The stamp set is from PTI and the colors are red and tempting turquoise. I added some brads in the bottom for some minor embellishments because it looked a little plain.

Thanks for looking.

Simple Circles

I just love how this card came out. It was a case from I think Nichole Heady's website. I changed a few things, mainly because I was going off memory and I forgot how the card looked exactly so I stamped what I thought was an exact case but come to find out there are a few little differences. The cardstock base is kraft and the white main piece corners were rounded. I used all PTI stamps. The circles were from Simple circles. I stamped the empty circle in black which was actually from borders and corners: circles and then I stamped the inside piece from Simple Circles in tangerine tango, cherry cobbler, daffodil yellow and pacific point. The sentiment is from Ad Sense.

It's a really simple card but I really like how it came out and it was such a lucky find that the old borders and corners circles set works with this new set!

Whimsical

Today I have a fun card that uses products from 3 companies. The frog die and stamp are from PTI, stamped on wool felt that I got on Etsy. The dotted paper and the butterfly die are from A Muse Studio. The stamped butterfly and sentiment are from SU. I used rhinestones from my stash for the butterfly and I love the sparkliness of them. This is a card that I gave my sister for Mother's Day - kind of whimsical and fun just like she is! Hope you have a fun filled day!

Hoppy way

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #13

Welcome to Birthday Sundaes Challenge #13. The challenge is to use embossing. I used my Cuttlebug and this tire tread folder. The stamps are from PTI and I just love them, so perfect and contemporary for a pre-teen boy. I think that this will be going to my nephew who will be turning 11 in July. I hope that you all can join me this week and make a birthday card using embossing and link it to the birthday sundaes blog.

Sunny Day

Today, I am sharing a fun card using product from a couple of different companies. The airplane is from PTI and it will be so much easier to use this stamp set since they came out with a die for the plane. The sun is a sizzix die and the clouds are cut from blueberry sky felt from PTI with a cloud die from MFT. The paper is from A Muse Studio and the grass is cut with an MFT grass die. Thanks for looking.

Masculine PTI blog hop

Today, I created a challenge for the Paper Trey ink Blog hop. The theme was a man or boy card. I bought the whole lot of new stamp sets from PTI from last month's boy inspired release but they didn't come in time. This card is a 4x4 card and I used red cardstock and stamped the anchor image with red ink. The sailboat is stamped in Navy and Night of Navy. The images are from Men of Life. I had some fun rope and tied it around the card base. A fun and easy card.
Thanks for visiting.
