Little Things

Today I have another New York inspired card for a great guy we met while there. I used Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fade “Woodgrain” and the Tim Holtz “Good Thoughts” stamp. I love this Spellbinders Nestabilities “Labels Nine.” I really like how I was able to use the Technique Tuesday “Home Tweet Home” stamp with the Tim Holtz product. I used studio g black ink, and of course more Stickles, Silver this time.

Gear Card

Our trip to New York (our first ever) gave me a lot of inspiration to create, so you will probably see a bunch of post with New York stories in them. While we were in New York we met some great new people through my brother-in-law and I wanted to send them some “great to meet you” `cards. This card goes to a sweet couple we met the first night there, it is made almost completely with Tim Holtz product. I used a white card base and cut out the top with Tim Holtz Alterations On The Edge “Steampunk.” I inked the cut out with Tim Holtz Distress Ink “Pumice Stone” and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then embossed the bottom of the card with Tim Holtz Alteration Texture Fades “Steampunk.” I cut out a small circle with a Quickutz die and stamped it with Tim Holtz “Pumice Stone” on the Tim Holtz “Nature’s Elements.” And of course I added Diamond Stickles. On the envelope I stamped Technique Tuesday’s “Get it in Gear” in black ink and clear embossed it also. I hope they like this card as much as I enjoyed making it for them.

Where in the world is my Vagabond???

Where in the world is my Vagabond??? Well I almost hated to show Sizzix after seeing Tim’s 10 inches of snow, but here it is. I live in Alabama and it is a beautiful 80 degrees here and my Wisteria is so beautiful and smells so good that I love the idea of crafting in my front yard. So here is my Vagabond waiting for me to get crafty. Thanks Sizzix for this chance to get out and about with my Vagabond and the chance to get new stickers and guage keys.

Believe

This Christmas card just feels like snow and cold. I used Momenta’s Christmas Party “Icicle” paper, Technique Tuesday’s “Believe” by Ali Edwards, Stampendous Winter Wonderland embossing powder, and Gelly Roll Clear Star pen. A quick, easy, and cool card.

Joy to the World

Joy to the world, one of the first Christmas cards I made this year! I so love these blues and greens even if they aren’t “normal” Christmas colors! I used Reminisce’s Frosted Flakes paper, Technique Tuesday’s “Celebrate the Seasons” by Ali Edwards, Tombow markers 133 and 443, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tumbled Glass, and Psychedelic embossing powder. This was such a fun card to make, it put me right into the Christmas mood.

2010 Christmas cards

Ok, I like to send out my Christmas cards the day after Thanksgiving, however last year I was a little late getting started so I needed something easy. These simple one layer cards were made with Inkadinkado “Winter Trails” and 4Klear Stamping “Season’s Greetings.” These were stamped with Color Box Black ink and heat embossed with Stampendous detail clear. A few Stampendous class a’ peel stickers and you’re ready to add a stamp.

Happy birthday...

Today I needed the perfect birthday card for a very special person; I hope this is it! I used Daisy D paper, Spellbinders’ “Fancy Tags,” and Technique Tuesday’s “Simply You” stamp. It was really simple to make, but I have to say I love how it turned out.
