A Million Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I finally had a chance to order and try out one of the Birch Press layering die sets. Oh Em Gee I totally love these! They cut beautifully and layer so perfectly. I have a feeling I will be making some sets of cards with these and will be trying different color combos. The main supplies are listed below, but I wanted to add that all cardstock is from MFT and adorable cat image was colored with copics on the blush colored cardstock.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Layered Stamped Flowers - Altenew

I have had this amazing set called Vintage Flowers from Altenew for awhile now and have not had the time to sit and play. Well yesterday I needed a special birthday card and decided to give it a whirl. While I was at it, I used my MISTI to do 4 cards since the stamping was a lot of work. I used a combination of Hero Arts, Simon Says Stamp and Lawn Fawn inks to stamp these beauties.

The stamping was a lot of work, but for a first try at lining up all those layers, I am pretty happy with the results.

I would like to enter these cards in the following challenge:

Jennifer McGuire inspired

I have been loving, inspired by and wanting to case this Jennifer McGuire card at this link: http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2015/02/video-simple-foiling-new-ranger-dye-inks-giveaway.html for a really long time.

Jennifer always makes everything look so easy in her videos. I can tell you the following cards (decided to make 4) were time consuming to do the stamping. I tried free hand stamping, using the MISTI and using a ruler. In the end the MISTI was the biggest help.

I also tried a few inks before getting going and for the most part stuck with many of the same ones Jennifer used from Ranger. I did like these inks, but mine are already kind of dry and so the MISTI helped double stamp some of them.

Sorry for the poor photos . . . again because these cards have foil on them, they were hard to photograph. I also was taking pics at night which didn't help. Anyhow, I hope you find something you enjoy here. The first card was for my mom's birthday, which is why there was an extra special envelope!

Cheers! Thanks for stopping by!

#Stamptember Sneak Peak

Hello everyone! I was one of the lucky #Stamptember winners from Simon Says Stamp on their Facebook page. I just got my stamp set in the mail yesterday and so had to quickly make a couple of sneak peaks before they go on sale tomorrow. Hope you like the sneak peak. I will post the full cards in the next day or so! Can you tell what kind of stamp set I got?? :)

Thank you Simon Says Stamp and Heidi for your amazing generosity! Looks like this will be a huge release! Sooooooo excited for tomorrow! Woohoo!!!!!!

Until the release . . . . stampingly yours,

More bubble stencil cards . . .

Quick post today . . .  I love this design so much, I just had to do it again for a couple of thank you cards. Loving the stencil technique with the distress inks. I really like the variety of stencils available and all the cool patterns.

THANKS for stopping by,

More Thank You's

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since I have had a moment to sit down and post. I have been able to slip in some card making time, but other than taking pics of my cards, there has been no time to post them. I hope to do some catching up on my blog over the next few days. The posts will be simple and there is no time for supply lists, but feel free to let me know if you have any questions. These are some cards that I made for the parent volunteers in my school. Hope you see something you like. (Sorry the picture quality isn't the best this time around).
