Stamps and Smiles #4

I did it!! Hooray!! This last sketch was stumping me! I decided to go with a Christmas Theme as I am always making Christmas Cards at the last possible minute. I send out about 80-100 cards and so getting a head start doesn't hurt! LOL! I also LOVE this Stampendous stamp...the little Angel and Snowman are fun to colour and stinkin' cute! I am all about cute images...

There is LOTS of Glitter on the Angel's wings...

Happy Stamping!!

SASMR2-Simple Elegance

The title says what I was trying to go for. As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I had to flip it and use this stamp from Stampendous. It is stamped in white craft ink and embossed with white embossng powder. The card is only one layer and then the two ovals, which I cut out with my cricut. I used a keytag punch for the sentiment...I always forget to use that one and I really like it.Thanks for stopping by!! Thank you Mercy for making up such "doable" sketches...it makes it much more enjoyable!!

Smiles,

Mother's Day Cards

I made this card for the Colour Challenge over on Dawn's McVey's blog but I missed the deadline! I didn't realize there was a deadline. I will be better prepared next time. I used Sage Shadow, Chocolate and white for this card. I used two cuttlebug folders on this card that I have not used in a while. The Always set is one of my favs and I always forget to use it! So happy I played with that set last night.
This card is for Mother's Day card. I was on a roll with the first card and so decided to case myself! Just changed the colours!!

Thanks for stopping by!

SFYTT (iheart2stamp) and WT216 (SCS)

This is a card I made for the SCS WT216 Challenge to use black. I also used the layout from provided by Julie Lacey on the iheart2stamp blog. This sketch had me stumped at first and there were many trial cards. Then I decided to ink up my new background stamps that I received from Jenny Bramford-Perkins. Thanks Jenny!!
The background stamp I used is from Rubber Stampede called Friendship background, the flower is from SU! Double Line Doodles. I cut out a smaller version of the flower and popped it up in the middle of the flower. Then I added a little clear Robin's egg to the middle of the flower. I really wanted to cuttlebug the pink background, but I resisted!! t was so hard not to do something to that pink background! But I like how it looks, all clean and crisp!!
This card is for my best friend Jackie. She is coming up to visit me tomorrow and so I wanted to make a pretty card for her!! I finished the inside of the card with another flower and the saying "So Glad We're Friends" from SU! Best Yet hostess set.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you got to ink up some stamps and play today!!

Happy Stamping!
