Thanks!

Customer Thanks!

As I have said before ... I always love making thank you card for my customers ... what could be better than inspiring them to cut and mount their stamps than giving them a handmade card.

Since most of my customers qualified for the 3 FREE GWPs/PWPs I decided to use the Thank You Oval for this card stamped with Reflection Blue ink.

I used a Nestability to cut it and then sponged it with more Reflection Blue and also the edges of the card. I pop-dotted the nestability and stamped the swirls from Pretty Posies.

ENJOY!

These flowers are from the set Pretty Posies and they make me happy happy. I just got them and had not used them yet. So I decided to ink them up for a co-worker's birthday card.

I colored them with my copics and added a little lacy edge. The sentiment is from a retired TAC set called Little Tidbits.

ENJOY!

Human Treats

These are based off of my last post. I made conversation heart ones and gumball ones. I used a multitude of TAC dog and cat stamps. Some are old GWPs. Some are from the retired set Dog's Life. Some are from the current sets Furry Friends and Good Dog.

This was one using a retired GWP and Tag Tidbits. All were colored with copics and used the scalloped circle punch.

This one used Good Dog and Tag Tidbits.

I made this card for a friend/customer of mine that might just love snowmen more than me ... is that possible????

The paper is from the from Robyn download. The snowman is from Merriest Wishes. The sentiment is from Good Things. All of these stamps are in the Fall Supplement.

ENJOY!

Valentine Treats

Conversation Hearts

Conversation Hearts are a weakness of mine ... I LOVE them and this time of the year they are abundant. I filled up the plastic bag/tube of them and added the topper stamped with the set Furry Friends. I added "love" from Tag Tidbits.

ENJOY!

One Layer Card

TAC recently set up a challenge to use one layer of cardstock on a card. Wow! I never realized how much of a challenge that this would be for me ... I always almost use 2 or more!

I used Fabulous Frames on this as well as the owl from You Whoo. I then added the sentiment from Good Things.

I drew a rectangle frame and sponged the edges and added the bow to add a little "something" to the card.

ENJOY!

Lots of Heart

Today TAC is sponsoring a Blog Hop called From the Heart. I just love mixing stamp sets and realize how well they go together. For this one I took the hearts from Hedgehog Happiness and stamped them in a row and colored them with my copics. I then pop-dotted them to add a 3D effect. The girl and sentiment are from the set called From the Heart. I colored her with my copics as well.

I used brown and pink for my cardstock (love love love these colors together) and added a ribbon along the bottom.

Sorry that I don't have my normal links to the stamp sets and supplies ....seems as if the Angel E-Commerce site and Angelnet are down today ... I'll update once they are back on-line.

Winter Scene Step Card

This was my first ever attempt at a step card and I loved it! Plus I love this stamp set called Cuddly Christmas! You can see the post HERE. (with instructions)

Winter Scene

It's amazing how fast the snow has melted around here ... I thought for sure it would be here for weeks if not months ... but the 50 degree weather this past weekend and the rain helped it along. So I guess I will just have to make my own winter scenes.

I used the cute penguin from Cuddly Christmas and colored him with my copics. I sponged the background and stamped snowflakes from a retired set called Bunches of Flakes. The sentiment is from Jingle Jolly. I tore white card stock and lightly sponged it with charcoal ink to create the snow drifts.

ENJOY!

Damask

I recently got this Damask Backgrounder set and wanted to use it right away. I stamped it with versamark ink and then used clear embossing powder on it. I then used the Damask GWP and stamped it on white (the color is much more of a match in real life) and paired it with a sentiment from Thinking of You.

I added some ribbon, matted everything on black, and pop-dotted the sentiment.

ENJOY!

Love Tree

I recently got this new tree in the set called Tree Swing Fun and had to ink it up. I colored it with copics and then added hearts as leaves. I sponged a little bit of blue in the background for sky.

I added the sentiment from I Heart You (now retired) and then added the ribbon with the bow.

I love how this turned out!

Here's hoping that you have Lotsa' Love in 2011!

ENJOY!
