Here is another preview of some new images being released on Tuesday. Look at these elegant stamps. I do love them.



This is a twisted easel card.The fold is very easy, a little different and lots of fun.

I stamped the 10 point ornament onto black cs using versamark ink and embossing with white ep. I added a clear rhinestone to the center of the ornament. That is attached to the front of the card. The inside of the card is stamped with 2 part flourishes using basic gray and black ink on the lower left corner. I also stamped the one flourish onto another piece of white cs and cut/embossed the Spellbinders butterfly. I cut another using black cs and attached that under the white butterfly. I added black rhinestones to the body of the butterfly and hand drew the antennae. The sentiment is stamped using black ink.

Welcome to day one of previews for the new release.

The pentunia image is stamped onto white cardstock using vintage photo distress ink and colored with copic markers. The flower was then painted with Star Dust stickles. The flower was then cut/embossed with Spellbinders Oval die and popped up onto another white shape cut/embossed with Spellbinders Beaded Oval. The ribbon is tucked in behind the image oval. The card front is stamped with Chickenwire background which was inked with a light gray ink and the whole thing mounted onto gray.

Stamps: Petunia 531-13, Chickenwire 58-01

Pretty colors

I created this card for the color challenge this week. I really love these colors together. What do you think of them?



I stamped the image using baja breeze ink onto bashful blue cardstock. I added liquid pearls, diamond stickles, punched butterflies and flowers with pearl centers. The corners are punched using MS swirling lace corner punch and matting onto certainly celery card stock. I colored the seam binding with the baja breeze ink and crumpled and dried it. I added a flower made with the flower punches and a pearl in the center.

Stamps: Bubble Vines Large 537-03

I hope you like it and sure appreciate you stopping by for a look.

New creations

Here are some cards I've created lately.


This is one of the new stamps just released by Rubbernecker. I inked it using versamark and elegant eggplant ink and stamped onto vanilla cardstock and clear embossed before cutting with deckle edge scissors. The card front is Concord Crush with a punched strip of kraft (crumb cake) adhered before embossing with a Sizzix folder I added some vanilla ribbon. The sentiment (from Garden Shrub Set) is stamped onto vanilla with elegant eggplant ink and punched out, matted with kraft and pearls added.
Stamps: Square ornament 547, Garden Shrub Set 560



I love how this turned out. The iris and sentiment are in a new set from Mark's Finest Papers called Bearded Iris. My mother used to grow iris in our yard and we were both partial to the purple ones. Such beautiful flowers.

I stamped the iris image twice using versmark ink and embossing with gold before coloring with Copic markers. I used a Sizzix folder on the left side of the panel, then wrapped with the ribbon, added a bow and the sentiment which is also embossed with gold, cut/embossed with Spellbinders die and the edges colored with Copic, and a little Krylon gold leaf on the edges.


This card has no stamping, but is bright and colorful and fun. The dp has a lot of different color strips, so it made this card easy. The added flowers are a new SU! punch with a Kaiser scrapbook rhinestone flower added to the center. I then added punched leaves and popped them up. The little butterflies are pumpkin pie with yellow stickles added. A little blue ribbon and - DONE!

Thanks for stopping by!

Alike but different

Today Holly challenged us to make two cards using the same materials but making them different. What a fun thing to do. Here are my two cards. What do you think of the two different looks?



The first card is actually a 5-1/2" square. I stamped the ornament using spun sugar distress ink on white cs, matted with pink and then with brown. I added pink rhinestones and a bow of colored/scrunched seam binding. I stamped the sentiment and then airbrushed through the die.

Stamps: 10 Point Ornament 548, Garden Shrub Set 560

For the second card I stamped the same image - 10 point ornament using brown ink. I airbrushed around the edges and in the center with a copic marker. The sentiment is stamped with spun sugar ink and airbrushed too. The main image panel is matted with brown and above a panel of the dp. I used the same Lattice punch, but this time twice, making a double border. The seam binding was colored with the spun sugar ink and also with brown to distress it. I added pink rhinestones to the main image panel and one to the sentiment.

Stamps: 10 Point Ornament 548, Garden Shrub Set 560

Who knew I would love this fairy image so much? I was surprised that I had such a great time coloring it. I stamped the image onto white cs using Rich Cocoa Distress Ink and then colored it with Copic Markers. I then cut/embossed it using Spellbinders Labels Thirteen die, and airbrushed the edges before removing from the die. I then added AtYou sparkle pen to the outside embossed edge. I added stickles to the fairy wings (they have to sparkle, don't they?) and to the grass as well. I decided the butterfly wing needed a little oomph, so I stamped it again onto vellum cardstock and colored it with the purple Copic. I left a tiny little tab on it, slit the main image and tucked that tab in to attach to the image. Here is a close up of that detail:

The sentiment is stamped onto the vellum cs. The bow is Toffee Satin Edge Ribbon and I used a button from my stash for the middle of the bow. I then heated the ribbon with my heat tool. I cut/embossed four of the center pieces from the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Pendant dies from white cs then sponged them with the Vintage Photo ink and attached them to the back of the main image. The card is a 6" square of Basic Grey Indian Summer designer paper backed with Copper sparkle finish cardstock.

I stamped the image onto white cs and colored and airbrushed with Copic markers. I then cut/embossed it using Spellbinders Labels Eleven, cutting only the top edge and backed it with the light blue card stock. The card is light blue with a I added the yellow satin ribbon to the green panel which is embossed with Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder. I colored the flowers to match using the same Copic markers I used to color the image and added a glittery brad to the center.

Spotlighting the sentiment

I spotlighted the sentiment on this card. I stamped it using chocolate chip ink onto white cardstock. I then added the dandelion image around it, and stamping off once, right over the sentiment. I am stretching the technique challenge by using a dp that is newspaper looking, I hope, as the largest panel. The card is kraft. I added two rhinestones to the centers of the puffs on the sentiment panel. Thanks for looking.

I created this card by stamping this new image from Rubbernecker onto white cs using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and coloring with Copic markers. The sentiment is stamped with the rich cocoa ink. I rounded two of the corners and matted with Regal Rose card stock. The color challenge had a dessert option to add things starting with the letter "P". So, I added "Pearls" to the image panel. The card front is Pear Pizazz and I added "Panels" of "Purple" "Polka Dot" "Paper". I then added "Plaid" ribbon and bow with a "Pearl" for the center.

Stamps: Little Note Text 280-01, Butterfly in Rose Bush 529-13

Thanks for stopping by!

I need to make a lot of these cards. Even though I make lots of cards, I forget to send them! Anyone else have that problem? lol Ridiculous, but true.

For this one, I stamped the corset image onto pink parchment cardstock using brown ink and cut it out. That is mounted onto a brown circle embossed with Textile Textures cb folder and then onto a pink parchment circle and a brown scalloped circle. The square panel is also the pink parchment and faux stitching around the edges. I stamped the sentiment with brown ink. I also embossed the bottom of the card front. I cut a rectangle of the same pink parchment for the inside of the card, punching the bottom and then adding the little flourish from the stamp set at each scallop and the rest of the sentiment near the top of that panel.

Beautiful Tulips

You know, I just love these tulips. Anyone can make such a fabulous card with these images. I created a rather simple card, but I think it is still so striking. My sweet daughter got this stamp set for me, not too long ago and I'm so grateful. I think it is one I will keep forever. It's perfect for so many occasions. Thanks Wendy dear.


The tulips are two-step stamps. I used Regal Rose and Rose Red inks for them. The stems are stamped using Versa Color Bamboo ink. The sentiment is by Rubbernecker and is perfect for so many different occasions, don't you think? I stamped that using the Rose Red ink. It would have been just fine just like that, but I decided to add an organdy bow which was heated just a little.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Showing you another new stamp

Here is a card showing another of the new stamps released by Rubbernecker. What a simple and quick card, but I like how it turned out. The largest panel is a flocked paper by 7 Gypsies. The flower is by Prima. The sentiment and butterfly image on it are from a new set just released by Rubbernecker called Bud Tree Set. I love the fonts used on it. The whole set is great. Be sure to check it out. SKU 505

The sentiment is stamped onto white cardstock using Victorian Velvet Distress ink. I then cut/embossed it using Spellbinders Lacey Circle die and before removing it, I airbrushed it with Copic R85 – Rose Red. I then used a Krylon Silver Leafing pen around the edges. The next panel is stamped with the new Round Floral Frame stamp using Victorian Velvet ink. The corners were embellished by punching with the Martha Stewart Swirling Lace corner punch. That is mounted onto the Rose Red card front (4-1/2” square) and rhinestones added to each corner. The sentiment panel is popped up with foam tape. To finish it off, I added the bow at the top of the card.
Stamps used: Round Floral Frame 558, Worthwhile Ride Text 232 SO

The butterfly is stamped using Distress Vintage Photo ink and clear embossed. Shimmer was added to the wings with AtYou pen and dazzling diamonds glitter was added to the body. The sentiment is also stamped and embossed in the same way before being cut/embossed using a Spellbinders Labels Eleven die. The embossed rim was colored with a Copic marker. The papers are by Kaiser Scrapbook. I added ribbon which has the edges colored with the same Copic marker and some trim added to the bottom of the card.

Here is another of the new stamps being released Tuesday, March 15 called Ivy Frame. For this card, I stamped the new image Ivy Frame onto white card stock using Forest Moss Distress Ink. I then cut/embossed an oval using a Spellbinders Oval Die, then weaving 1/8”strips across the opening to create the trellis. That is adhered over a designer paper and then onto the green card front. The sentiment is also stamped using the Forest Moss distress ink directly onto the designer paper and cut/embossed with Spellbinders die, adhered in the upper left corner and an organdy ribbon bow added which was heated to curl it.

FRIDAY, March 11, 2011-Fish You Were Here

What cute images for fish you will find in this set. This is just one of 4 fishies, not to mention the cute sentiments to go along with them. I didn't use one on the front of this card . . . there just wasn't room.

I stamped the image and clear embossed it before coloring with Copic markers. I then cut/embossed it with a Spellbinders Classic Inverted Scalloped Circles, then I left it in the die, masked it and airbrushed the blue around the image. I mounted that onto a white circle which was stamped with the seaweedy stuff (that's the technical term). The card is a shaped one, which is cut/embossed using Spellbinders Beaded circle die with all that mounted onto the front. I then covered the image with crystal effects and sprinkled it with dazzling diamonds while it was still wet. It makes it look wet, don't you think? And you can never have too much sparkle.

Thursday, February 10, 2011-Grandma's Boudior

I really wanted this card to look like an antique purse. What do you think? Did it work? Can you see it as a purse?

The sentiment is stamped onto the designer paper which is cut/embossed with Spellbinders Labels Eight. I added the purple panel which is cut/embossed with Spellbinders Labels Ten. The cameo is stamped onto vanilla card stock using Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate ink and cut/embossed using Spellbinders Labels Ten and used a Copic marker around the edges. I punched a hole in the top and added the silk ribbon bow. I used my sewing machine to stitch the lace to the botton and added gold cord for the handle.
