Amazing Paper Grace

 
I was so ready for a cutesy card!  I hunted through my unmounteds and found these three little adorable insects.  I colored each up with my Copics and then found my stash of American Crafts Ribbon which made picking the accent colors easy!   
Have a great day and don’t let anybody fool ya!

Paper:  Bazzill, Fabriano […]

It has been a glorious weekend with weather that is starting to give me a full blown case of spring fever.  I was inside for a bit to play with toys and I pulled out a set of stamp pads that have graced my shelf, unopened, for more than two years.   I had fallen in love […]

Hmmmm, well I had a post scheduled for last night, but in my sleepy stupor I keyed the time in wrong time.
On Splitcoaststampers one of the techniques showcased last week was misting  with markers so I decided to give it a try.  This whole card is misted, part with markers and part was […]

I had a wonderful dinner with my stamping girlfriends tonight and we had an opportunity to welcome back a long distance friend - we love you Linda!!  As I reflect back on the evening I know that life is good!  
I was able to make a quick card tonight.  I’ve been itching to use my Paisley […]

Another quick post to offer - my girls are going out of town for the weekend and I’m grabbing a couple of minutes in between helping them.

I love this dress….this is my first time to use it and I knew that I wanted to try the Kiss Technique since it is a solid stamp.    To […]

Where this card started and where it ended are 180 degrees plus a little bit of serendipity. 
My inspiration was the filigree type stamp (another huge stamp) and yes it left me few options because of the size.  I selected shimmery DCWV papers from their Luxury Collection and Metallic Collection and after stamping on several […]

Inquiring minds want to know where you find your inspiration!
I am overwhelmed right now because I’ve collected for so long and have so many stamps waiting to be used.  This stamp called out to me, so I took on the challenge to use it.  It’s such a large stamp that I felt my options were […]

Do you know what it takes to be a total girl?  Well, somewhere in the unwritten rules, there must be a love for…..handbags and shoes!!    Ummm, I’ve got that covered.   This was such a fun card to make and it was practically fool proof.  Did you notice that the stamps match the design paper?   These […]

 
Isn’t this stamp inspiring?  I love the sentiment and decided I wanted to use it today to make a quick card.  I’ll be brief today - I know, hard to believe - but will hopefully have some more stuff to share through the weekend.

 A quick post today to share a little tool that saves me time every day.  I use so many mediums to color and for each medium, when I get ready to use it, I scribble a sample so that I can see the actual color.  Well, scribbling samples every time I sat down to color […]

Did you like that play on words?  Get it….tulle box….tool box.  My husband looked at me like I was crazy when the light bulb was blinking off and on over my head.   

I kept babbling about a tool/tulle box and he just didn’t get it.  Well, this is what I had in mind…..  I […]

Don’t you love it when you find the perfect stamp?  This is one of my favorite stamps and its blackened and stained back attests to that fact.  Every time I have used it, the sentiment resonates in my heart as true, and I am very blessed to say that it has never been truer than […]

I hope your St. Paddy’s Day was wonderful.  I’m back to share a card with you.  As I do cards, I’m trying to reach into my stash and use things that I’ve not used before.  I don’t know about you, but for the longest time when I purchased a product I would just leave it […]

Another card to share — isn’t the ribbon gorgeous?  The ribbon is where I got my inspiration from and I built the card and picked my colors from there.  It’s a pretty straight forward card and is one of my first attempts at coloring with my Copics.  I’m still in the infancy stages with them, […]

Have you seen the amazing Easter creations out on the blogs?  Well, it inspired me to get on the ball and make something.   I needed some cards for a swap, and my stash of Easter stuff is rather small, but I did have this Inky Antics stamp on hand; I’ve wanted to use it for […]
