Holiday Red Loaded Envelope Giveaway!!!

Hello and Welcome!!!

It has been a bit since I have last posted but I have been crafting!
I also just joined in on the Loaded Envelope Bandwagon
and wanted to share my first one with you.

It was SO MUCH fun to do since a lot of the embellishments were made
with items I had in my stash.  
It's always great to use items you already have...
even though I did go shopping as well...didn't mind that at all!

I used the Recollections Red and White Christmas Paper Pack.


 So in the bottom pocket, 
I made a couple of paper clips with clay ornaments I bought last year.
I also added three hanging icicle ornaments I made last year.


 In the next pocket I made a poinsettia straw and 
some tags with the paper pack.  
I also hung from a clothespin from Target, 
a hanging purse charm I made last year.


 In the top I added some rosette straws and a pipe cleaner straw I made.


Here is the Envelope bare.
I used some mesh trim I had and a Happy Holidays metal piece.
I also added some pieces from some Christmas picks I had.


Here it is again with all of the items inside.

 

 Now on to the BIG news...

Crazy Dogs

Hello and Welcome!

This week I am sharing some cards I did with the Tim Holtz stamp set, 
Crazy Dogs.  
I think this set is adorable not only because of the animal lover that I am, 
but because all of my dogs have or had such a personality 
that the faces on these dogs are priceless!

This first one makes me smile with their tongue sticking out, 
so I had to add smile to it. 
I think whomever I send this to will smile.


This next one looks a little frazzled to me.
So they are just saying hello.


This last one I did totally reminds me of my Marley.
She can be so goofy at times... And this dog seems goofy.


I know I will be using this set a bunch... I just love the images.

I hope you enjoyed these creations...

Under the Weather

Hello and Welcome!!!

This post is all about one stamp set.
Clearly Besotted Under the Weather.
When I saw the set, I thought it was so adorable!!!
What do you think???


Here are the cards I made...they are little note cards.


I couldn't decide which little one I liked best,
so I decided to use them all!
I colored them all with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut them all out.


Then I added a circle of cardstock coordinating with each little one.
I also added some coordinating sequins as well.


The little Mouse.


The little Bear.


The little Giraffe.


The little Bunny.


Another little Bear.


And a cute little puppy.


These were so much fun and fast to make.
Now I have some cards in case they are needed for someone who may be sick.

I enjoyed making them and I hope you enjoyed viewing them.

Take care!!!

Summer of Cards 3

Hello and Welcome!!!

Well...this is the last blog of cards I made over the summer.
See...I told you I was creating, just not blogging!!! LOL!!!

Anyway, the following cards are not Art Impression Stamps!
Could you believe it!  LOL!!!


 This graduation card was made with two different stamp sets.
The animals are from Cuddly Critters by Simon says Stamp
and the books and text are from the Paper Smooches set Smarty Pants.
I used Prismacolor Pencils to color in.


 This card was made with Altenew's stamp set, Peony Bouquet.
I used watercolors to color this one.


 I again used the Cuddly Critters by Simon says Stamp for this one.


 Two stamp sets were used on this card.
The Chick is from Paper Smooches Chubby Chums 
and the circular Happy Birthday is from Simon Says Stamp Circle Sayings.
I colored it in with my Spectrum Noir Markers


 This set is from Simon Says Stamp Circle Friends.
I used distress ink for the background with water droplets.


This little guy is from the Circle Friends stamp set by Simon Says Stamp as well.
I colored it in with Prismacolor pencils.

Ok, so see, I was a bit busy this summer.
I just didn't blog regularly.

I will try to get back on track, 
but can't promise with the holidays coming and all.

Take care!!!

Summer of Cards 1

Hello and Welcome Back!!!

Yes, I have not blogged all summer,
but that doesn't mean I haven't crafted!

I have been making some items as presents so
I can't show those items I have created as of yet.
But I also did create a bunch of cards and will share those with you
for the next couple of weeks.

I have still been on an Art Impressions Stamp hunt.
I just think they are so adorable.


 She is part of the Pamper Yourself set.
I so feel the same way!!!


 These two are part of the Love Birds set.
I can see me and the hubster in this set.


This set is not named, but I will name it the Trailer Park set.
I thought of my Sister and Brother in Laws when I saw this set.
I even sent her this card!


I love this one so much I had to make another card with it.


So see...I did create some cards and will have more to show next week.
I hope you all enjoyed your summer!

Take care!

Cuddly Critters

Hello and Welcome!!!

I am here to share this card that I made with the Simon Says Stamp sets...
Cuddly Critters and Accessories.

I think it came out adorable and wanted to let you know how it was done.


First I stamped the Panda...he looks so alone.


So since he needed friends, I masked him off and added the bunny.


Then I masked the bunny and added the puppy.


What's a puppy without a kitty...


I then added the Koala and last but not least...the Bear.


When I took all the masks off, here they all are together!


I then added some balloons and stars for the accessories set.


On to coloring them all in with markers.


To finish it off, I added some glossy accents, gel pens and some glitter.


Hope you like this card as much as I had fun making it.

Take care!!!
