Halloween Peeps

I have decided what to do for my Halloween cards. I saw this Unity stamp set and loved it, Trick or Treat Peeps. I thought I could make it look like Chris and me. I picked up the DP at the LSS. One side of the paper is what you see on the top half of the card and the back of the paper is on the bottom. I really liked that I could just flip it over and the colors match. I stamped the image with Stazon and colored it with my Koh-i-noor pencils (which I love so much). I used black to pop the stamped image. I hope you like it!

Mouse Cookie

My order from Eclectic Paperie came today. Yippee! I got this new little mouse stamp, a new Changito monkey stamp, a round it all, and some chipboard coasters. I have been looking at HL for the round it all but they are always sold out when I get there. So I finally just broke down and ordered one. I figured the shipping would be cheaper than the gas to drive back and forth each week.

I just had to put this mouse to ink and see what I could come up with. The stamp is Art Gone Wild Mouse Cookie. He was too cute to pass up! I colored the image with my Kohinoor pencils. I also stamped the card base with my SU Canvas background stamp (it has been a while since I inked one of those up). I used my new round it all to round the corners of the image and DP. I added some DP, ribbon, a clip, and some pink brads. "Hello" is from my Papertrey Ink word set, which I stamped in choc chip. I'm tickled with this little guy! This isn't a stamp I've seen before either. I'll try to get a new Changito card made soon too! You guys know how much I love those stamps.

Happy Birthday Sonya

I came home from work a little early today because I was not feeling well. I've taken some medicine and I was sitting here in front of the computer. I thought I would share this cute little card I made for a co-worker. I sat down last night to make Sonya a birthday card. I had some in my stash but I wanted to make one especially for her. I used my new little turtle stamp and colored it with my Kohinoor pencils again. I just love those pencils and I don't know how I colored before I had them. They are so easy to blend and super easy to use! So I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the background. I thought this one was appropriate since it has flowers on it. Then I added some ribbon and a flower brad at the bottom. I was going to add 3 brads but they were a little big and I didn't want it to be overpowering. The inside is stamped with "happy birthday." I hope she enjoyed the card and her lunch! We always order lunch for our grade level on his/her birthday.

Owl Baby Card for Trace

I have been involved in several baby showers for my friend Trace. I have also made some cards for her and I have just about used all my baby stamps. We had a baby shower for her at school today and I needed a cute card. I used my Gina K Owl Love You set. I picked the one with the eggs! I also used little baby prima flowers and baby rhinestones. I colored the image with my Kohinoor pencils and punched the edges using my SU template. She really loved the card! And I'm so glad because all the baby stamps have been used except the twins stamp I have! lol

VSN- AUG08VSND

I used my Gina K stamp set to make the card for the AUG08VSND challenge for Virtual Stamp Night. The challenge was to make a card with flocking or felt. I don't have any flocking, but Chris brought some stick on felt home the other day and said I might be able to use it on one of my cards.

So I ran it through the Cuttlebug with my Nesties and got a perfect circle for the moon. I colored the image with my Kohinoor pencils and blended it. Then I sponged the background with Night of Navy ink. I even added a little Crystal Effects on the eyes to make them shine.

Pink Butterfly

I pulled out my Wonderful Wings set because it needed some love. I have some of them that haven't even seen ink! Can you believe that? So this is one that I have never used before. I colored it with my Koh-i-noor pencils and then used my glitter pen to add glitter to part of the wings. I did a close up of the butterfly so you can see the glitter I added.

I also dug through my little bag of prima flowers to find some to use on this card. And of course, I added some rhinestones to the flowers.

Elzybell Hello!

I saw this cute little window card on Chin n' Scratch and I knew it would be perfect for my Elzybells! I used flower girl and stamped her inside the card. My new micron pens came in handy for doing the doodles around the square. I also used "a little note" at the bottom, but I didn't realize when I took the picture the stand covered that part.

Here is a picture of it on the inside. I used my Koh-i-noor pencils to color the image. I must say, I love those pencils. They blend so easy!!!

Ok, I went back and made another card so I wanted to add it to this post. I thought this would be a cute set of cards for someone. I hope you like them!
