Happy New Year!

Time for the next Card Caravan! This challenge is to add some sparkle. I printed the pretty digital paper (from Kimeric Kreations's Resolution 2012 ). I then added some glitter with a glue pen to the rays, stamped my sentiment (from PTI's Happy Day) and the row of gems.

You can check out the challenge here !

Rosie Posie fun

Happy 2012! Life has been good and busy, so I haven't been able to post much here. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.

I've enjoyed playing around with my new set, Rosie Posie, and here are three cards that I made.


The first one was heat embossed onto Lavendar Moon cardstock, and I added the sentiment from Happy Day.



The second uses papers from October Afternoon, sentiment from Damask Designs, and Mat Stack 4 die.



Finally, a bold,one-layer card. The sentiment from this comes from WMS's Say It Loud.

Thanks for coming by!

Happy Mother's Day

Are you all ready for the holidays?! I'm getting there...a bit more shopping to do and packing!

I was able to get together with other DC-area (and beyond!) Papertrey Ink fans for fun and crafting at Cheryl's house. It was a blast!

Lovely Miss Jenn shared her new release goodies with us and I made this card!



The card was made with Rosie Posiea and Happy Day, love these sets!

Below is the gorgeous bag that Jenn made to house her white elephant gift. I was the lucky reciepent--isn't that stamping amazing!! I had to share, it's just so pretty!

Card Caravan Challenge #8

It's my turn to host the next Card Caravan Challenge . Since today is both my mom and my brother's birthday, I decided on the theme "two".



For my "two" project, I made two similar cards. They use gorgeous digital paper from Sugarplum Paperie's Comfort and Joy .



I cut the papers, inked the edges and stitched them together in blocks. I couldn't bring myself to cover any of the front, so the sentiments are added on the inside.



The ribbon is from Paper Source. I hope that you'll take a look at our Challenge , and play along!

Merry Merry Merry

Hope you're having a great weekend!

After die cutting all my card fronts from this post , I had a bunch of words cut out. So this card was born.



Super simple and easy. I popped up the words with foam tape, tied a little twine bow and added some Pure Poppy buttons.

Thanks for taking a look!

'Tis the Season

Another Christmas card!

This one uses Bells and Boughs from PTI for the focal image and sentiment. I created the embossed background by stamping an image from Waltzingmouse Stamp's Faux Fun and heat embossed it with gold glittery powder.



Have a great day!

Wonderful Words cards

Today I have a trio of cards that were made using the Wonderful Word: Holiday dies and the Waltzingmouse Stamps set, Say it Loud: Holiday. A great combination!



I die cut each word onto the card fronts, and then lined the inside with patterned paper. I glued each little bit (i.e. the piece in the middle of "e")back into place after the paper was adhered down.



They are simple and easy to mail! I debated about stamping something more on each, like snowflakes, but then decided to leave them as is.



Slowly adding more cards to the stack! Thanks for coming by!
