A new home

Well, I finally got moved and my craft supplies are very happy!! I want to say a Big Thank You to everyone for their help and support through the very trying last few months. I have a closet in my bedroom that I was able to transform into a craft space WooHoo!! The other night I was able to use this new area to make some Thank you cards for my daughter.

HAPPY MAIL!!!

I got happy mail today!!!! My lastest Gina K. order. I could no longer resist buying Melanie Muenchinger's "A Year Of Flowers" once she made the companion set "Pressed Flowers". I also bought a Stamp-a-ma-jig to use with these two sets for perfect two step stamping. I also bought Malanie's "Tech Talk" because, well, that dang laptop is too cute:). Of course at Gina K. when you buy three stamp sets, you get one free. So this month it was "Inside and Out", the perfect set for adding greetings to both the inside and outside of cards.

Inspiration!!!

I was looking through the Moxie Fab Blog and she had a card out of the current Stamp It! magazine. I used the black and yellow from the inspiration card,and my new Gina k stamp set, Wishes and Dreams. From that, I created this card. Cute!! Yes????

Happy New Year!!

Hello, A new year has begun and time to update the blog. Today I made a card to celebrate Melanie's 2 years of blogging and 25 stamp sets. I used her Inspirational Mosaic stamp set, stamped in Chocolate Chip ink two sentiments from the set, then paper pieced the rest of the spaces. The base is Chocolate Chip, then the middle layer is Rose Red, and the DP is Basic Grey's Bittersweet collection. The ribbon is pink satin, and of course it had to have some Bling.

My First 2009 Christmas Card

Good afternoon, I have finally scanned the first card I made for Christmas this Year. It was using the sleigh from Gina K's set The magic of Christmas that I got last year. The base is Bravo Burgundy, and the background, image and sentiment are on very vanilla cardstock. The sleigh and it's layer we cut using the curvy rectangles nestablity in my cuttlebug and the large Vanilla base was embossed using the script cuttlebug embossing folder. The gold was added to the sleigh using a gold Spica glitter pen and the ribbon and brad are from Stampin' Up. Thanks For Looking!! Susan

Toteally Fantastic

Today, I finished up my swaps for the Gina K. January swap. I can't post it until the swap is complete and everyone has their swaps back. I can tell you it took me many mock ups, three days and a lot of work to complete them and I'm happy with what I've created. :) For my card today, I used my previously uninked stamp set Toteally Fantastic. I combined the sketch and Who's that girl challenges for it. The theme for the challenge was to use patriotic colors, red white and blue. Being from Canada, ours would leave out the blue and only have red and white. However, in support of my US sistahs I left in the blue and added some pink for me. LOL I lined up the three totes on a clear mount and stamped them on Gina K pure luxury white cardstock. It was my first time using it and it is sooooo smooth. The purses were atamped with Brilliance graphite black ink and colored with copics. Next, I layered them on night of navy and pretty in pink cardstock. The DP was printed using my printer and the red kiss digi paper from MFT. The sentiment was stamped using night of navy ink, the edges were drug across a read red ink pad, then mounted in night of navy. I assembled the whole think on a pretty in pink card base and added the flowers, which were originally light blue and pink but I colored them with copics. The flowers were attached together using a silver heart brad, and secured to the card with foam mounting tape. Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Susan

Babies...Babies...Babies...

I have been working on some baby cards for the girls at work having babies this spring, there are lots of upcoming showers, and births, so I decided to start the cards now. I need lots because the other girls at work will want to buy some. Here's two of my newest ones

SCS Holiday Extravaganza Day 1

Yesterday was day 1 of the Holiday Extravaganza at SCS. The Challenge was an inspiation Challenge and can be found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=405367 I used both brown and blue on my card and snowflakes. Here it is... The Snowflakes are from Gina K.'s Magic of Christmas stamp set. There are also four punched snowflakes, and lots of glitter Merry Christmas, Susan.

Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas

This is the card I made for day 2 of the 12 days of Christmas challenges over at Paper Craft Planet. Today the challenge was to use either a bird or reptile on you creation. Since I have no other bird stamps and no reptile stamps I used this one. However, I needed two, so I used the reflection technique to make a mirror image. I stamped one dove on cardstock and the other on a piece of acetate. Next, I colored in the leaves and beak with copics, flipped the acetate over, lined up the images and stuck it together. The sentiment I printed on my printer. A little layering and embellishing and voila, my card. Thanks for stopping by, Susan

Another Day... Another Card

Hello, I hope all my American friends had a very Happy Thanksgiving. Here in Canada it is just another day so I made a card. This card is made using "The Magic of Christmas" stamp set that I got from Gina K. Designs. I love this sleigh it's so fancy. The image was stamped on white cardstock, cut out using oval nestabilities and mounted on a scalloped oval. I used a sketch I found on Splitcoaststampers.com, a piece of printed paper, ribbon, added a greeting and voila..a card LOL :)

You Know Your Getting Old When...

This card was a big hit at work and the first person to see it bought it. The inside says: getting lucky means finding your car in the parking lot. There are many more cute sayings for the inside of the card with this set and they are all just as cute, Cheers Susan

Color Your Stamps with Copics

Hey fellow stampers, when I first began stamping I was to to never get rubbing alcohol near my rubbah. Well, Gina K. has come up with a tutorial on Coloring with Copic markers directly on your stamps, then use a mini mister with rubbing alcohol to rehydrate the ink, It works great, and my stamp came completely clean afterwards. Go ahead give it a try!!
