Chat Attack!

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted on my Showcase Monday to post about one of my fav. stampers :) I love going over to Chat's blog because I know she will have me saying HMMMM I got to try that! lol..

So I took a look at her birthday cards she had recently had and these cards are my take on them.

My First card :

I really had fun making these creations because as my cards from yesterday I used the same elements for all 3 cards. This really is a challenge for me as I always end up with 3 0r 4 projects by the time I finally complete 1 card. hehehehe....

I used as she did Crazy for Cupcakes one of those sets that was a MUST have and today I had to dust it off.. THE SHAME right! I am happy I took it out I had forgot how cute it was.

For the cupcake top portion don't know if you can tell but I used Shimmery White Cardstock for that fun effect. I did use another sentiment from another set Little Birthday Cheer

Here is my 2nd Inspired Card :

Here again I used the same elements and wanted to add minimal colors but enough to make an impact.

3rd Inspired Card :

For this card I used another Sentiment from the set : God's Blessing but keep the foundation the same as Chat's.

I hope you will be inspired by the many amazing stampers out there and give it a try and see what you get inspired to do!

Sketch it Sunday Plus Showcase Monday rolled into One!

Hello everyone again!

So I wanted to wait till today so I could do one card that would fit into my Sunday Sketch as well as my Showcase Monday post! Lets start shall we... For my sketch I decided to play along w/CardPatterns which had this to play with this week :

Here is the card I created for this sketch. I had fun creating it as I used my JUST BROUGHT BY THE BROWN TRUCK-Medallion Background stamp.. OH YUMMOO is all I can say that is my Showcase Monday part!

I had been eyeing this stamp since I saw it and FINALLY have it here! I actually have loads of goodies I got today! I'm preparing for my Mini Catalog Club as well as my Classes

I embossed the image in Silver and the used Night of Navy Cardstock which I really love with Silver I can't wait to showcase them with one of my projects for my Mini Catalog Club!

Return of Showcase Monday

Good Am to everyone,

I'm so happy to have Showcase Monday back and running but for today instead of a Stamp set I am going to showcase some of the new wonderful Designer Paper available.

These 2 cards actually came about because I was talking to my fellow demo sisters and we were discussing how we love Stampin Up product so much we get and then never use it and keep it safe away from scissors and adhesive and from really showing how amazing it is. So I decided to give a challenge to go into our new yummy products and use it and showcase it.

I decided to showcase Urban Oasis:113978 (I told you I love that paper) as well as Tastes of Textiles :113991 which is exactly that so much fun as it as a bit of everything and fun to work with.



This card I used Urban Oasis and our New Eyelet Border Punch :113692 as well I went into my Prettiest Kit :109114 that I have been hoarding forever I said NOT ANYMORE and went right in and used some of the beautiful jewels it includes.




For my next card I am showcasing the Specialty Pack Taste of Textiles:113991. I used the Hostess Level 3 Set -Dream a Little 113435 for the flowers and did Crayon Resist to highlight the flowers and stamped and embossed the little hummingbird with Pacific Point. I put a strip from the Sale-a -Bration Designer paper Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper:114674 as well as a Fligree Brads: 112577 I like the soft effect the card took with me using my Daubers.

I thank you as always for stopping by. Stay tuned later today as I have some news that is about to happen in 8 days a Hint : its time to Celebrate!

Showcase Monday

Hello again everyone...

I am back with some swap pics and my Showcase Monday.. today I will be showcasing one of my fav. stamps I had done something with him on my other blog but I can't help it I LOVE HIM!! lol.. you guessed it its Mr. Twigster! lol



For my first card I wanted to make a little scene of the snowman getting ready for the holidays! :)



This card I was inspired by a card I received from one of my Swaps I did for the Regional made by -Vera Schoeters. For my card I added some icicles made with Dazzling Diamonds and Crystal Effects that Dawn showed how to do it!


So do want to see a little peek at a picture of some awesome swaps that I received?




Well I am off to work on some other cards and some other projects I am going to share with everyone who is signed up for my newsletter later this week. Have a wonderful evening!

Showcase Monday

Hello everyone!

I am so glad you were able to stop by and join me for Showcase Monday. Today I will be showcasing a set that I loved the moment I saw it yet this is the first time that I really put my mind to really play with it. I don't know what it was but I would try to create something but would think oh no this card doesn't do any justice to this stamp set.. Well today is the day I put that thinking aside and let my creating just do its thing.


My first card I cased myself as I had been working on Christmas cards for a swap and I used the same layout that I used for one of my cards (can't share it yet but will soon) but used Always to create this card.








My 2nd card I used the stems and little bird from the set to play around with this set. I colored in my bird with my dabbers using: Baja Breeze,Chocolate Chip and Kiwi Kiss I like the effect that it gave.




I thank you so much for stopping by and sharing Showcase Monday with me. Remember if you would like to win some Blog Candy make sure you Sign Up to Follow this blog.
