No Cracks

I just love this stamp. It is from Hambo stamps. Pretty simple card. The stamp is colored in with Copics. I used the gear cut from the Cricut Cartridge, Indie Art, for accent pieces.

Halloween Cards

I just purchased my first copic markers. Wow! I am having lots of fun practicing with them. Still have lots to learn but the video turtorials on youtube have helped a great deal. The bear with the pumpkin is a digistamp but I don't remember where I got it. If you recognize it, let me know so I can give credit where it is due. The cat is a stamp by Stamppassions that I picked up at a garage sale at my LSS several years ago.

Spooky Chandelier

I got the idea for this card one night while eating dinner in our dining room. I looked up and noticed a spider web on my chandelier. Spiders give me the creeps! The paper for this card is all from Basic grey. The spider and stars are foam stickers that were given to me last year for halloween. The spider web is made from the spider web material that you can use to decorate your house. I added mini rhinestones that I ordered off of ebay. They are for nail art and boy are they tiny!!!!

A Child's Year Snail Card

I just love my new cricut cartridge, A Child's Year! Every image is just adorable. Years ago I used to do Scherenschnitte, a german paper cutting craft. This cart makes using those types of cuts so much easier!!!

Train Birthday Card

I made this for a special boy who will be 4 years old at the end of the month. He loves trains so I couldn't resist making him one. I welded the train together in Cricut Design Studio. Pretty easy card to assemble. Cricut cuts:

Noel

I have had the idea for this card in my head for awhile and finally put it to paper. I hope the play on word Noel isn't too corny. The larger snowflake is embellished with dew drops and the inside sentiment is a DJ Inkers stamp.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #10

I thought the sketch for the challenge this time looked like a tic tac toe game. The face on the pumpkins is from the Peachy Keen Cutout Pumpkin Faces set. I chalked the pumpkins and then used a yellow colored pencil for the face. I then added crystal stickles to the face to make it look like a candle was lit inside. The ribbon is from M's and the sentiments are stamps that I picked up in the dollar bin last year.

Peachy Keen Challenge #9 Gumball Machine Card

The Peachy Keen challenge this time was to use a circle, star and a square. This worked out great because I needed to make a thank you card for one of my daycare families. I used the Fiskars stars embossing plate to add some dimension to the yellow paper. For the faces on the gumballs I use the Peachy Keen Winter Face Assortment.
