My Madison Mingle Card

Hi Everyone,
I promised to show you the cards I made last weekend at the Madison Mingle. Well first you have to see the one that I created for my project. I even made you a video to show you how I did it.

Here are a few of the many cards I made at the mingle. I completed 48 card and I only made a few changes. Some I didn't add the sentiment. Other cards I may have messed up and had to do my own thing. The one thing I found my self doing was using an embossing folder even if it wasn't in the directions. I guess I really like embossing folders.
The name under the card is the name of the person who brought the project.

Wax Fruit Company and Etsy Inspired Challenge

OK have you been watching the Eagles all day?  I just can't stop. There is one baby and the mom and dad have been ripping apart a rabbit and feeding him/her. It is just amazing.

Isn't he just so sweet?

 You can watch all the action here.

OK Sorry you are here for cards and I have a fun one for you.

Etsy Inspired Challenge is being sponsored by Wax Fruit Company and I, or you, could win a  $20.00 WFCo gift certificate! Then Arielle is offering more if you use here stamps. Well you know I would use one of her wonderful stamps.

 Here is my inspiration:

Here is my card:

When I looked at the bag I saw a brown background with lot of patterns, soft colors, and a butterfly.  Now I see it is a black background. Oh well it is my card. The butterfly was stamped and punched out with a MS punch then I colored it and the WFCo image with copic markers. The ribbon is Hug Snug seam binding that I died with SU creamy caramel reinker. The center is a SU vintage brads. The stamp is a Wax Fruit Company Stamp called Gerber Daisies. 

This was so much fun. It really is a pretty card in real life. 

Head over to Etsy Inspired Challenge and Wax Fruit Company and join in on all the fun.

SP and Company

Happy Wednesday!
I am going to be short today.  I got called in to teach today. I am still recovering from my card making weekend. We stayed up until 1:00AM Friday and Saturday making cards. I am too old for those hours but we were having so much fun. I will share the cards later.
The card I have for you today is one for SP and Company. I made this card for my son's birthday which is on Friday. He is an April Fools Baby who will be 27. Wow how does that happen?
Here is his card.

The Happy Birthday is from the SP & Company set called  Mix 'm Match Sentiments: Basics. This is a great set that I find very useful. Samantha has great sentiment stamps. Be sure to check them out.
The cat is a Penny Black and I colored it with memonto ink and a white jell pen. The sentiment on the flower I make on my computer. It is a joke between my son and his roommate's cat. I know it will make him laugh.
The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 110.

Well I am off to face 30 first graders and that means I will be too tired to craft tonight. I do have a video I want to do for you. I learned something really cool last weekend. So be sure to stop back.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping,

 

Stamp Scrap Doodle Saturday

Hi Everyone, 
When you are reading this I will be attending the Madison Mingle making 50 cards. It is a three day event and so much fun. So picture me knee deep in paper and tape, or sitting a yacking. LOL

This week at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday our challenge is a Photo Inspiration.

Isn't it pretty. Well I went with the tea theme because I wanted to use my Cricut.

I made another little ribbon flower and the stems are made from a snowflake. I added a little boarder with a MS punch and that is the same punch I used on the white liner inside. 
I hope you will join us this week at SSDS. I look forward to seeing all your creations.

Guest Designer at SP and Company

Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to be the guest DT at SP and Company again this week. I made a fun card using "Easter Eggy." I really am enjoying this stamp set. You can do more that just Easter cards with it. I created this spring card that says, "You're my favorite chick."

The little flower was made by following this tutorial by Jaydee at Stampin with Jaydee.
I just want you to know that I didn't waist 3 layers of paper. Before I glued the layers together I punched out some things to use on other cards. This is what it looks like under the top image.  I don't know if this means I am cheap or clever.

Now head over to SP & Company to see all of Samantha's lovely stamps and cards.

Card Recipe

• Stamps:  SP & Company :Easter Eggy"
• Paper:  Bashful Blue, Cert Celery, Marina Mist, Blushing Bride 
• Ink: Bashful Blue, Cert Celery, Blushing Bride, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight to color the chicks
• Acc:  Bashful Blue Ribbon, MS ivory pearl stickers

Stamp TV Bunny Week Challenge

Hi Everyone,
I have two cards for you tonight. The first one I made for  the Bunny Week Challenge Mary is having at Cardz TV . 

I use Country live Cricut cartridge to cut this cute bunny. The fence was made with a MS boarder punch. I added a little twill to the bow. The sentiment is Mix n' Match Basics from SP & Company. I added flower soft to the bunny's tail, his nose and the flowers. The flower stamp is CTMH. The little pears are MS. The face was stamped with a Peachy Keen set.

This next card is one I made to take to the card mingle I am going to this weekend. I made 25 of them. Some of the people bring cards to trade. This year we are donating cards to Operation Write Home so I have a big stack for that and any of these that are left over will be going into the box as well.

This was a very quick card. I used SU Nature Walk and the Very Vintage wheel. I added just a little bit of color with SU chalks. The inside is lined and punched with MS branches punch. Sorry I didn't take a picture of that. I really love this stamp set.

Well I need to get packed up for my weekend I am so excited. There are 50 ladies attending this year so we will be making 50 cards. 

Yieppie Let The Fun Begin!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow. I am the guest DT at SP & Company.
