Clean and Simple 2 day 2

     Okay, today's card turned out very cute, but one I struggled with alot! The assignment was to create a single layer card. I didn't realize just how bad my paper addiction was until I couldn't use any! Anyway, I used another Paper Trey Ink mini stamp set and some Stickles. I was glad I took the picture right after I finished because my cats got curious last night and the Stickles got smeared! Oh well, I will figure something out to fix it. Please leave a comment, I love hearing from you guys! Have a great week and Keep Crafting!

Clean and Simple 2 day 1

     Hey everyone! Here is the first card that I created for the Clean & Simple 2 card class I am taking online. I used a Paper Trey Ink mini stamp set and paper from American Crafts. Let me know what you think, I love to see comments! Have a great day and Keep Crafting!

Note Card Set

       Hi all! I just finished a cute and simple little note card set for my Etsy.com shop and thought I would post them here. I used Copic markers to color in this cute Paper Trey Ink stamp. Very simple and easy to make - I love Kraft card stock by the way! Hope you enjoy and have a great week. Keep Crafting!

Paper Piecing Challenge

Hi everyone! Here is my card for this week's Simon Says Stamp Blog Challenge. The challenge was to use paper piecing of some kind on your project. I used a stamp set from Stampin Up and put it on kraft card stock. This will go to a friend that is recovering from surgery. It is sure to put a smile on her face. Until next time, Keep Crafting!

Easter Card - yes Easter!

     I found a new product from Inky Antics (okay, it may not be new but it is new to me!). I just had to share because I think it is really neat. It is honeycomb paper and Inky Antics has stamp sets you can use with it! I bought several sets and several colors in the honeycomb paper and see many possibilities! This is just my experiment and it has some flaws but overall I really like this product. You should really check them out.The paper is from American Crafts 6x6 Hip Hip Hooray paper pad. Until next time, Keep Crafting!

Washi Tape Challenge

      This weeks Simon Says Stamp Challenge is using Washi tape. I don't have a wide variety of Washi tapes so I thought I would use what I have to make a Valentine's card. If you can believe it - I got the tape at Target! The stamps are from Paper Tray Ink and WPlus9 and I used the swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder. The little bit of paper is American Crafts Hip Hip Hooray paper pad & I used the large folded banner die cut that I got at Simon Says Stamp. I thought it was a cute little card for someone who might be deep in "Like". Enjoy and Keep Crafting!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

       Friday is my wonderful mother's birthday, so I wanted to make her something special. She gave me a set of discontinued(I think) stamps from Stampin Up, so I made her some drink coasters out of ceramic tiles! I used Stazon ink to stamp the flower and a combination of Copic Markers & Sharpies to color them in. Spray on a couple of layers of clear sealer and self adhesive felt on the back, and there you have it. I found a little wooden box at JoAnn's that fit the tiles perfectly and then decorated it with some My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline paper collection. It is the perfect gift that shows her I love her!

By the way, I have another set over on at my Etsy.com shop(minus the box) if anyone is interested. They are only $10! I will take order - hint hint:)

Here is the valentine card I made for the blog challenge at simonsaysstamp.com The challenge was "Black & White with a splash of color" I used the cute little "Bee Mine" stamp set from Lawn Fawn and some papers from Die Cut With a View (DCWV) mini stack. I think it is super cute and was quite easy to make. I added some Stickles to embellish the bee and heart. Until next time, Keep Crafting!

Birthday Card

Just thought I would drop in and show a birthday card I made for a good friend of mine. I used an old Stampin Up flower set and the greeting is from Papertrey Ink Little Labels. I used some paper from My Minds' Eye Miss Caroline 6 x 6 collection - really cute two sided papers. The colors just make me smile:) Keep Crafting!
