Confetti Birthday

Here is another stamp from Unity Stamps. I really love this set because the stamps are big and are perfect for scrapbooking as well as cards. I made this card a few months ago and cannot really remember the recipie...but I remember that I used all SU cardstock and paper. I used my Copic Ciao Markers and Copic Glitter Pens for coloring. For Bling I used Swarovski Crystals on the Birthday Hat and Flower Rhinestones on the side of the card. I also used my Rectangular Nesties.

Once again, I apologize for being so slow to post lately. I am sure you all have had the same thing happen to you in the past. I hope to get moving again once things settle down.

Wishing you all a great weekend and week ahead!

Confetti Birthday

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post. I have sincerely thought about backing out on posting to this blog, only because I have so much going on in my life right now that it is almost impossible to post on a regular basis. This card was made using Unity Stamps
Confetti Birthday. The papers and cardstock are from SU. I used Copic Ciao Markers to color the balloon and Copic Glitter Pens. The ribbon is basic Dot Pink. I used rhinestones to add bling. Of course my Oval Nestabilities and a computer generated Happy Birthday Norma!

Sorry this is so short, but I have to get going again. I hope all of you have a great "rest" of the weekend :)

Unity Birthday Stamp

I just had a strawberry milkshake that I made from strawberry Yogurt...Geez it was yummy! I guess I would have to say that ice cream of any sort is my downfall...but I try to eat the healthy yogurt kind because this has no fat and no sugar...it comes from ECBY...Not TCBY, but ECBY. It is kind of expensive, but it is worth it to me and it has gotten to be a habit now. My other downfall is no sugar lemondade from Chic-Fil-A (sp??). My good friend Debbie has enabled me on both of these treats...Thank you Debs! I would love to hear what your downfalls are...besides this expensive stampin habit of ours :)

I have already given this card to the friend that asked for it and so I really do not remember all the deets, but the cupcake stamp came from Unity Stamps. I really like their stamps because they are "big" and easy to work with. I use SU's Tempting Turquoise for the cardstock and SU's designer series paper for the background. I had some left over embossed shimmery white stripe paper that I used embossing with my Happy Birthday Cuttlebug folder and added some polka dot ribbon and bows. I also used Robin's Nest pebbles for accents. The cupcake was colored with my Copic Ciao markers and I also used Liquid Applique for the icing and sprinkled some glitter on top of that. The "Anna" name is computer generated and on the inside of the card I used the computer to personalize a poem for Anna. Then of course the dimensions to make the cupcake pop.

Gotta run...cleaning house time for me...ugh! Have a great week peeps :)

Another Artful Inkables Image

Here is another Artful Inkables image. I cannot remember the name, but you can go to the site and find it there. The reason I cannot remember the name is because when I ordered stamps from Kristin, she sent me some singles and this was one of them. I just love flowers and coloring this one was so much fun! I know I used SU's Blush Blossom for the cardstock. The other paper is from Michaels. I used my Oval Nesties and colored with my Copic Ciao Markers. I then put Liquid Pearls around the Oval and a pearl and rhinestone to finish off the flower. The Happy Birthday is computer generated and last but not least the Robins Nest Pebbles.

You can click on it for the deets. I hope you like this one. Have a great week!

Hibiscus

It is Friday afternoon and I remembered that I had forgotten to post...so, here me am! It has been a busy week especially at work. And I wish I could say that I was NOT working tomorrow, but I am. I really am blessed to have the overtime and so I take advantage of it everytime I get the chance.

This card is made from Artfulinkables.blogspot.com and it is called Hibiscus. There are soooo many ways you can use these two stamps (the flower and the leaf)...I know I will be using it in a variety of ways. It is just perfect for just about ANY card.

I used my Coluzzul (sp?) to make the outside circle and my Nesties to make the inside circles. I colored the flower with my Copic Ciao Markers and I used the White Singo Pen, Copic Glitter Pens, and a Swarovski Crystal to finish it off. Took hardly any time, which is what I need more of these days...time.

Thanks for your visit and I wish you all a wonderful weekend :)

The Lilac Set

Good Sunday Morning to All!! I hope you all have had a very plesant week. Mine has been quite busy, but very nice.

On this card I used SU's Lovely Lilac and Almost Amethyst for the background. I then used SU's Designer Series "Flowers for You." I stamped the Lilac stamp from Flourishes right on the Designer Paper with Brilliance Black Ink. I colored the image with my Copic Ciao Markers and used Liquid Pearls to highlight the flowers. I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch on the side, Purple Vellum to make the butterflies, also a Martha Stewart Punch, and Rhinestones to the center of the butterflies.

Thanks for your visit. I hope you all have a great week!
