Fun Pop up card!!!!

Hello All,

It's 12:23 am and I just finished making a card. i absolutely love it!!! i haven't made a post in probably the last couple of days or maybe day I'm not so sure. okay, so i used random stuff for this card. The pattern paper is from the glitter spring stack, white and Orange card stock. The stamp of these adorable little birds i got at a stamp show back in November. Ill update with the name later. i colored them with Copics -b00,b002,yr 02,yr04,yr06,cool grey,and c3 and stamped them on Neenah paper of course.I gave the bigger bird Googly eyes!! I love the outcome. I didn't want to put the eyes on the smaller bird because I felt like they were too big and I didn't have a smaller size. ( gotta check into that)I know you can see the blogger homepage in my pics, but the card stood up well on my hubby's laptop. I really have to get a better setup in the taking pictures department for you guys!! i don't feel like posting all the directions and/or dimensions right now so ill probably do that tomorrow/today as well. i basically got antsy and wanted to get the pictures up. :-) *******update in the morning***********

Babies are oh so sweet...

Hello All,

Today has been a kinda a long and boring day for me. I don't know where the heck my creative flow was earlier, but I couldn't think of anything crafty to do or I just didn't have the ambition. *rolls eyes* Ahh, anyways I got to thinking and my sister in law is pregnant with a baby girl and I tried to make her a card yesterday,but my little 2 year old bumped me and I stamped the final touch sideways. Hahaha, so I decided that I could make her another card. Well, It took me longer than it usually does. I got lucky and had baby girl pink paper in a spring stack. ( I just love those stacks) so everything I picked match and all I had to do was find card stock and Yay, I didn't have to look long I had a perfect pink and light green which picked up some of the green in the pattern paper. I had the stamps I wanted in mind and I set to work.The stamps are from a set i picked up at Michael's back when I first started scrapping. That's where I got the cute little bear. As for the sentiment I got that from someplace and I can't for the life of me think of where I got it. It is a long image and all the words were supposed to be together but I just ink them separately so I could place them of 2 piece of different paper. I don't know I liked it. I have it finished,am proud of it and can't wait to send it to her. I used Copic markers to color the image,added ribbon and bam. I pop dotted all the pieces because that's the vision I had and the card measures 6x6 Enjoy...

I know this last image is kinda blurry, but it showed the entire card so I figured I'd add it. :-)

Another simple card..

Hello Everybody,
I'm back and with a new simple card. This little snowman came from an Inkadinkadoo set along with the little sentiment "There's no business,like Snow business" Isn't that too cute? These papers are from My minds eye. Can I express how much I love this paper? The ribbon I just bought from Michael's. I've used it on a lot of my cards I just love the color of it!! It went so great with these papers. Okay, so I stamped my image on Neenah paper and colored what little is colored with Copic markers. Like I said this card is pretty simple, so there isn't much for me to write in here today. *sorry* I did however,pop up the paper the snow man is on and added 2 blue with light blue polka dot brads on the each end of the sentiment. Enjoy..

So many cards,Too little time.

Hello Everyone,
I'm a little groggy this afternoon due to the fact I had to stay up late last night. My little guy is sick or so I think he is and he had a very late nap yesterday. So, by the time he woke up it was time for us to go to bed. Anyways, we stayed up with him and he finally fell asleep watching "Rudolph the rednose reindeer" He just loves Christmas. I am so very happy for him this year. He is a little over 2 and he knows so much. He is going to have a blast this year. Okay, back on topic. I have a few pictures today so if this blog looks really long It's becuase it's picture heavy. Lol. I didn't do all these cards in one night, I actully made these and just forget to take picture's so therefor they didn't get added in the blog. So here we go.

Picture # 1..

Same paper's from last blog's card and same stamp set, but if you don't feel like looking down to the last blog it is the C.C. Deisgns Winter bear stamp set. So adorable. Colored in with Copic Sketch markers and for the mittens, I just stamped,colored, cut out and then pop dotted them with a small peice of matching ribbon behind. I love this card. I embossed the white little sqaure with the snowflake texture place with my Sizzix bigshot. I know you can't see it, but it's really cute in person :-)

Card #2...

For this card I used the "My mind's eye" Christmas glitter stack. It has an antique feel that I just loved. I used the Coordianting cardstock as well. This santa stamp I got from our local Michaels. He's too cute. I stamped him in Timholts vintage photo distress ink ( Thanks Mammie) on smooth white cardstock then I added glitter to some of his beard I then took a sponge and with the same ink as before wen't over his face and around the edges to give it a really anitique look. I added a ribbon with bow and a few flowers. :-) i like this card! Simple yet cute.

Card # 3

Okay, so I used the Christmas Glitter stack and Christmas cardstock stack for this one. This Snowman stamp I got from our then local crafting store *Your happy Place* Unfortunaly the store is closed now, but I found this stamp and it brought back memories. I stamped them on Neenah paper and colored with copics. I must admit the coloring isnt' that great on this one,but the card still turned out nice. I added dimaond glase on the snowmens buttons and ornament's. i then used my quicky glue pen and on the snow underneathe of the snow men used Martha Stewarts snowflake glitter.So cute. I used Lime green sugar brads on the 4 corners of the stamped image and with a ribbon and bow this card is complete. I love this one!!!

Last,but not least card # 4

Okay, so these stamps are magnolias. (I just love them) I'm not too excited about how it came out, it's cute ,but I expected more from myself. Ahh, It is what it is. ( my dear friend Chris always says) I like it enough to post it so here we go. I used again My minds eye paper and cardstock. Stamped my image on neenah paper and colored with copics. Distressed it with vintage photo and that's pretty much it. Here ya go.

That's it for now guys. Thanks for looking and feel free to leave comments. If you have any qeustion email me I will be happy to answer. Until next time.. Have a great day!!!

C.C design's "Winter Bear"

Hello Everyone,
Just a quick post of an adorable card I finally got put together. I wan'ted this stamp set from the moment I seen it on one of the blogs my mother in law had up on her computer. I just fell in love. Needless to say she bought me the stamp for christmas,but managed to get it early. I just love her!!! This stamp set is from C.C designs " Winter Bear." Snowmen really do make the "bestest friend's." This card is on a pretty simple set up here. Light blue paper for the card itself, a peice of Lime green cardstock, then a peice of blue and green pattern paper from the "Christmas 1/2 glitter 8x8 stack. I stamped the image with momento tuxedo black on neenah paper and colored with copics. Copic colors used " B00,B02,YG63,YG65,YR04 and the colorless blender" Enjoyyy.

I stamped the other snowman from the same set again coloring him with the Copics on neenah paper, then cutting him out and pop dotting him to give the card a little bit more dimension so it didn't look so flat. I then took a moment sky blue ink pad (thanks Lynn) and with a sponge wen't around all the white around the stamped image. On the side I tied a little peice of ribbon with a bow on a matching peice of scrap pattern paper. I always saved my little scraps until my card is completley finished incase I need just a little something extra. :-)

The End. :-)

Cold Cold.. Day.

Hello Everyone,

Today here in NY it is wet and cold so I am sitting here writing this blog. I thought I'd share a layout I did maybe 2 weeks ago. I promise that as my blog gets going my post and picture's will be matched to date. Hehe. Hopefully, within the next 2 weeks I'll create one of my own through photo shop since I know I can do it, It's just a matter of finding the time and patience to do so. So, though this is another sort blog I must end this with a picture...Enjoy.

Can you feel the "Monkey Love."

Hello all that that have stumbled onto my blog. This is my first time writing in this blog as it has taken me about 2 hours to find a blog template I liked and such. *looks around the room*
Hopefully, my blog get's a lot of responses. I have lot's of thing's to share and many thing's to learn. I'm cutting this post short becuase my eyes are hurting so bad from staring at the screen for way too long. These cards I made this past week. They are the "Monkey Love" set from C.C Designs. I just love monkey's and these little guy's stole my heart. I colored them with Copic Sketch Markers and they are on a pretty basic card design. Enjoyy!!
