National Boss Day

I made a card and matching rosette for Bosses Day. I used the Cricut Imagine, Imagine More Cartridge to make the flower for the front. I used my Martha Stewart Scoring board to score the rosette. I scored the paper every half inch then folded it. I cut out circle and put hot glu on them then glued the rosette to the circle. I did ths for both sides. I then attached the Grateful flower from the Imagine More Cartridge to the front of the rosette. I then glued a pencil into the center of the rosette to hold it up in the flowers we bought them. On the card I used the same flower then used my Wild Cards Cricut Cartridge for the saying. I used the Martha Stewart Flower Border cutter and the scallop border cutter for the trim of the card.

Happy Halloween Pop up Card for My Pink Stamper Challange

Hi all! I decided to challange myself with a pop up card for the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop Challange. Challenge: Make a goodie bag or 3-D item that is for a Holiday. Any Holiday or Occasion will be perfect.
I love pop up cards. They are so fun to make so I thought I would start with some help from Robert Sabuda's website. This way I could get a better technical grasp of the process and create more interesting cards.  Here we go! You can see the pop up better from top view.

Teddy Bear card

 

Hi all. Hope you are doing well. This card is for all of you! Thanks for following my blog. It is fun to share with you and read your blogs as well. I learn so much from all of you! Thanks for sharing your talents and Ideas!

I used a Stamping up Teddy Bear stamp set to make this card. I colored with Colored pencils since I haven’t been able to buy Copics markers . One day maybe. I used the Cuttlebug Spots embossing folder for top of card. the paper came from The Paper Studio Back to Basics pack. I then Inked the edges of the papers Martha Stewarts Gold Ink pad.

Just another simple cupcake card. I used Cricut Yummy Cartridge. The paper was Glitter Sweet paper.

Shimmer Mist Recipe

I have always wanted to buy some Glimmer Mist but found it to be too expensive for my taste. I don't buy too many craft things without a sale or coupon so I guess I am a clearance sale and thrift junkie.  I searched the web and found several recipes for it on Splitcoaststamper.com. Thanks to all the people who shared their recipes. I already had everything I needed to make the recipe below. Yea! The recipe worked really well. The glue in the mixture bonds the PearlEX to the paper so it does not smear. The only thing I need is a better misting bottle. I had an old travel kit with a spray bottle in it. It sprays a little heavy so I will be getting new ones for more colors.

Here is the Recipe:

One part Decoupage Glue, Modge Podge or  ElmersGlue

One part water

One small scoop of Pearl EX

Mix in a small misting bottle.

To make your colors bolder add a drop or two of stamp pad ink refiller or in one case I read someone used Rit Dye.

 I don't think you will be able to see it very well from these pictures but here is how it did with the bottle I want to replace. I used Gold and  Brown PearlEX for my mix. I sprayed it onto a light green paper.

Fall is here

It is such a beautiful fall day here today. The weather is perfect. I think it's time to pull out the fall decorations. Tomorrow off to our cities fall festival and funnel cakes. Yea! Can't wait to spend time with the family. My husband has had to work the past couple weekends so it will be nice to have him back.

Martha Stewart Border punch

I got a great deal at Goodwill two weeks ago. I found two huge bags of stamps for $5.99 a bag. There were about 30 or so stamps. AWESOME!! I decided to play with my new used stamps and color pencils to make this card. It's something I have not done much of. So here you go. I plan on making these for my family this Thanksgiving. Something simple i hope they will enjoy.

I am so thankful for my children. They are growing into wonderful adults. It is hard to believe my youngest child, my daughter is in college. My son is growing into a fine young man. Momma is proud. I just pray God watches over them and guides their way through life! What are you thankful for today?
