Get Comfy

I really love how well these Art Impressions stamps stamp. Today I used their “Comfy on Couch Set.” Did I mention I love these stamps? I embossed the background with Cuttlebug’s “Kassie’s Brocade,” then used Recollection’s “Red Stripes,” and Spellbinders’ “Labels Nine.” You already know I used Stickles, Rose Art color pencils, Tombow Markers and Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink.

Golden Oldies

My mom is in a Red Hat group so I like to make her fun cards to send to her friends. I’ve been making her cards for the last week so I’m sure you will see a few of them on here this coming week. For this one I used Art Impressions “Golden Oldies” and “You Go First” stamps. Love these stamps. I used a Fiskars’ punch, Recollection’s “Red Small Dots,” and Spellbinders’ “Large Scalloped Octagons.” And of course you know I used Stickles, Rose Art color pencils, Tombow Markers and Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink.

Grateful

Can you tell I’m grateful? Yes, it’s another “thank you” card. This one is for my sister-in-law and her family. I love this Artsy-licious in Chocolate by Chatter Box. I also used Technique Tuesday “Favorite Memories” and “This One” by Ali Edwards. I added a Spellbinders “Labels Five” and some gold Stickles and done.

Thanks

I really don’t use blue much, however I really like this paper by Me & My BIG Ideas. I think it has an elegant look, especially when used with the Spellbinders “Fancy Tags.” I also added Everyday Greetings’ “Thanks,” Technique Tuesday’s “Olde World Squares,” and some black cardstock. A little Tim Holtz Distress Ink in “Tumbled Glass” and Studio g black ink finished it up. I made this card for one of my oldest and dearest friends and her family. I hope they know how thankful I am for them.

Smash Journal

This is my first Smash journal and I love the size, it is perfect for throwing into a purse or backpack for on the go memory keeping. I know this will be a big shock to you ;) but I made this one for our New York trip! I found The Robin’s Nest Press “City Scape“ while traveling and I don‘t remember where, but I knew I had to have it ( I kind of have a “city scape“ addiction) and it was perfect cut apart for the Smash cover. I also love Unity Stamps so their “City of Love” was the finishing touch. If you are afraid of really messing up your journal (I was) then just remember that if you hate it you can always cover it up with paper, however you just might be pleasantly surprised, I was.

Great Time

Ok, the last New York card, you know I couldn’t forget my brother-in-law. He made sure we knew where to go and how to get there and just made our time in New York wonderful. I wanted him to know what a great time we had thanks to him. I used Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fade “Pocket Watch” and Gold Stickles for the background. The sentiment I typed out on the computer and then cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities “Small Deckled Rectangles.” For the envelope I stamped Technique Tuesday’s “Time Flies” with studio g black ink.

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.
