3 Quick Cards

I put these cards together in less than 20 minutes...Wanna know how? I colored the pictures ahead of time! LOL. My husband is always watching some show like Law & Order that I care nothing about, yet he wants me to sit there with him. So instead of watching tv, I color! Then later I can put together a quick card!



Strawberry Card--Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

Whew! I'm back again! I've been one busy gal unpacking boxes and trying to get our new home up and running. Not to mention keeping my 6 and half month old little boy happy. We love our new home, especially my new craft room (which hasn't seen much action yet).

Anyways, I'm back just in time for a great sale! Lindsay is having a Spring Sale!

  

Everything at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff is 30% off Now through Saturday!

Speaking of Spring, I'm in the spring mood right now, I thought I'd drag out an oldie but a goodie of Lindsay's. I LOVE strawberries and I adore this digi stamp with it's cute little white blooms. I had a lot of fun with this card. I used a sketch from CardPatterns. I also used this adorable strawberry paper from CosmoCricket. I got this paper pack just for this cute paper. The ribbon is just some from my stash and then I added this cute little button to the middle (see below).

Here is a close up of the little button.



Lastly, I added some Lumiere paint from Stampin' Up to the petals of the flowers. They reminded me of some tiny white flowers (or weeds) that I used to pick in my yard when I was little. The petals were shiny, just like these.

I've been gone so long, I haven't had a chance to show you all of Lindsay's new sets!! Check these out!

These sets are all regularly about $5.00 each, but they are on sale for $3.50! 

Don't forget about the spring sale! Hop on over to Lindsay's to grab a digi freebie and see a video!

Looks aren't everything...

I think this is one of my most favorite cards that I have ever made. I just adore this little Frankie from Bugaboo. I used the cracked edge svg file that gave away as yesterday's freebie. I am not sure I like the way it turned out, but Frankie's cuteness makes up for it. The sentiment is a freebie from TLC.

 Here is the inside:



Warm Winter Wishes + Border Freebie!

Hello and Happy Thursday! This week I wasn't in the mood to color, so what better time than to use some clipart?! I usually don't work with clipart, but after making this card, I definately will more often! I love how easy it was. And first of all, I must apologize for the sadness of how the photo turned out. My mother borrowed my camera, so I was forced to use an older one (that I despise) and it didn't turn out so well. So when I tried to make another one, the camera batteries were dead. argh!

Anyways, back to the card. I used a sketch from InStyle Stamps blog. I printed the clipart on textured white cardstock. I printed the gifts and the tree star two times, because I wanted to layer them with pop dots (hard to see in photo). The paper is from DCWV. It isn't supposed to be christmas paper, but it reminded me of snow, so I thought it looked nice. Then I just added some sparkle!  

You can find this set here.

Wagon Get Well Card

Here is a cute and fun little card that I made the other day using last week's wagon freebie. I cased a card that I had seen on the Scrappin' Navy Wife's blog. She has some adorable cards! I love how she uses faux stitching on almost all of them. Makes quite an impact. This card wouldn't be nearly as cute without it!

BTW, the inside says "Hope you have a speedy recovery!

With Deepest Sympathy...+ Freebie

It's Thursday...so you know what that means! Time for a Lindsay project! She has two new sets available! I decided to use this beautiful cross from the Many Blessings set. I used the sketch from 2S4Y this week. I colored the stamp using my copics. I love the purple! I've never used my purple copics much, but I will now.  I cut the card base with my cricut using an old svg from Mamaw's Legacy.

The purple dew drops I made myself using a hot glue gun and alcohol ink. Lindsay has a tutorial here.

A Halloween Card...

Here's a cute little halloween card I put together. Unfortunately the picture isn't the best. I didn't take it in daylight, so it has an odd glow because of the unnatural lighting. Anyways, I thought it was just a really cute image from Mo Manning. I love how the little dog is dressed up like a cat.

This card qualifies for the "get dotty challenge at Aly's Sunday Challenge and the "anything goes" challenge at Craft your Passion.

This week I made a card for my Aunt's birthday from my mother. My mom was going to purchase a card from the dollar store, but I told her to let me handle it! I used this cute little bra from Lindsay's On the Line Set.

A Creepy Hallowen Card + Freebie!

Only 80 days left til Halloween! Haha. I love Halloween. I think it is quite possibly the most fun holiday of them all. I couldn't wait for Halloween to come back around this year because I was dying to get back to making Halloween cards! I absolutely love the Creepy Crow Set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.

 The drippy goo border is a former svg freebie, you can find it here.

I used this week's sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. This card qualifies for Our Daily Bread Designs: "3 of Something" and OWH: "Fall Cards".

I was especially excited since I got my copic markers! I could have done so many different things with this stamp, like a orange sunset or a cloudy sky, but instead I decided to go for the creepy night sky look. I googled a pic of a spooky graveyard and used that as my inspiration.

Now for your freebie! Another chic lookin' lady! If you missed the others, look through my former posts.

And don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog to grab a freebie and check out the DT gal's work!

11 Cards Finished Today

Hi there. Just stopping by to share a few cards with you. I created these in different phases over the weekend and finally finished them today. I colored them on night, then the next day I cut the images and chose patterened paper from my scrap stash, then I cut the kraft card basesd and adhered the paper to them. Then I chose ribbon to match and adhered it along with the image to the cards. Then the next day I made sentiments for the front and added some embellishments. Then finally today I finished them by coming up with what to put on the insides. I now have them all ready to go in my craft booth. Whew. Kind of fun to whip out so many at once.
