I'm on a roll!

Wow, this is so much fun!  Why have I waited so long to start posting?  Oh well...  here goes... are you ready?

This first card is using "Snow Mouse" from Lil Inker Designs 2 Cute to Ink stamps http://www.lilinkerdesigns.com/product/2-cute-ink-snow-mouse.  Isn't he just the cutest!  I used some papers from October Afternoon, some misc. ribbon I found at Marshall's over the holidays, punched snow flakes and some rhinestones for some bling. I colored him using Copic markers.  This was a birthday card for my friend Brittney.  Happy Birthday Brittney!

This second card is called Wishing You a Speedy Recovery.  Here I used Whisper White and Poppy Parade card stock and Poppy Parade ink from Stampin UP! Also from Stampin UP! is the lace ribbon and butterfly punch.  The frame stamp is from the SU set Four Frames but the sentiment Wishing you and the inside sentiment (that you can't see) a speedy recovery is from the stamp set "Sunshine Cheer" from Our Craft Lounge.  Now the designer paper is from the Sale-a-bration promotion going on right now at Stampin UP!.  You can get this designer series paper free with a $50 purchase from Stampin UP! and all the papers in this set are just gorgeous!  Run don't walk to your nearest SU Rep.  hee, hee.

Third, is a Thinking of You card for a good friend who I am terribly late getting this to and hope she will forgive me.  :)  Here I used the same frame stamp from the SU set Four Frames but the other floral stamp is just one stamp, stamped multiple times and masked to get only part of it in some places, from another Sale-a-bration freebie.  This is "Fresh Vintage" stamp set and this too you can get free with a $50 purchase.  The ink and ribbon are Cherry Cobbler from Stampin UP!  The flower and rhinestone are misc. items from my stash and all is stamped on Stampin UP! Whisper White card stock.  The "thinking of you" sentiment is from a stamp set called "branches4flowers" from The Stamps of Life. http://www.stephaniebarnardstamps.com/products.htm  What do you think?  I think it turned out quite pretty.

Okay, last but not least, is a Sympathy card.  Unfortunately, I have found I have needed quite a few of these lately.  :(  I cased this card from Kristina Werner.  I love her blog and she does such simple and clean cards.  I love her style.  She also has awesome handwriting and every now and then she will sell a sentiment that she has made with her handwriting on her blog.  I bought this "Sympathy" image from her blog for .99 cents and cut it out with my Silhouette.  Check it out here: http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=7175

I used SU Whisper White card stock and a purple I had in my stash.  I could not write the "with" & "and" like she did because my handwriting is terrible so I found some small My Minds Eye alphabet stamps I had and made the words which makes mine a little different.  I used the embossing folder from SU called "Finial Press".  I hope you have enjoyed some of my very first post and I hope to be back soon with some more creations.  Have a super good day!



Happy Birthday Papaw!

Here is my first post!  It is a birthday card I did for Jeff's dad.  I cased a card from Dawn Easton changing up the papers and the colors.  I used a stamp from the Verve Stamps set "Words of Wisdom".  The papers are from Graphic 45 "A Proper Gentleman" and basic black and cherry cobbler from Stampin UP! Thanks for looking.
