Penny Black Winter Tree

Penny Black makes beautiful stamps, I think they are most of my favorites . Here is what I call , The Winter Tree. A 6x6 card, the 2nd layer I tried to paper pierce by hand, so you can see some imperfections, but you get the idea. I stamped using Staz On white, which I am not crazy about. Yes it STAYS ON. And never comes off of anything it touches. Of course they sell their own cleaner, but its hard to find. But it dosnt stamp well even on this dark shade of purple I selected. So I touch up the tree with some Snow and some Bling. The ribbon is simply a black sheer with white polka dots.

This is the easiest thing ever! This was one of the 1st things I did with my cricut. Simply cut out , I think this was a 6 inch cut. and then do the "shadow" for it.. Add a little ribbon on top, and there ya go! Great gift for the pooch! Rock gave it a 2 paws up!!

ValenTIme!!!

I am off on Mondays and that is usually my day to get caught up on card swaps or house work...I get some of both done! So today I did my V-day cards for a swap on Fiskateers that my friend Angie is hosting :) .....I used a stamp from Hero and covered in wrinkled up tissue paper, a little ribbon a little stamp and there ya go!

New Stamps! Stamptivity stamps are so cute!

So today I had to work, it wasn't so bad. After coming home and cooking lunch, I decided to work on some cards. I finished up a swap that I am in and then worked on a card for my aunt using my new stamps. I accidentally ran across these stamps while looking for Bella stamps, and I am glad I did. So in this card, I used a butterfly stamp from Autumn Leaves and stamped it several times and used silver embossing. Then I used prisma colors to color it. I used one on top of each other to give it a 3d affect. Cute huh? So the girl stamp are the new one from Stamptiviy, I cant wait to see all the cute cards I make with these.

Happy New Year!!

So the 1st day of the year and what did I do?? I made cards of course! Oh yea and I stayed in my pjs all day long! My sweet man of mine even went to the store for me so I wouldnt have to stop what I was working on.....go ahead and say it....awwwww.....So anywho, this is what I did yesterday. A 6x6 card with a cute stamp by Impression Obsession , its called Eskimo Kisses. I used my buttons that I got from swap, they came in real handy! Its hard to tell from the pic, but I added some shiney snow to the snowmen that really add a nice touch.
