My DS came home for the weekend and since I was not sure I would get to see him again before his birthday, I decided to give him his card early. He is a guy with many talents, but one thing he enjoys doing is brewing beer at home. When I saw this digi, I just knew it would be great for him. Again I have no designer attached to the image, so if you know who made it, please let me know so I can add it! 
I used a white base card, Pure Luxury card stock and a bright digi paper I found lurking on my computer. I even broke out some old school stickers! Parts of the monster and his beer glass are all coated in Crystal Effects, and he was colored with Copic markers. The inside is a simple happy birthday, some leftover strips from the front and a trio of beer bottle stickers from Sticko. Ugh, so many leftover scrapbook goodies! This card will also be entered in the Create With Bubbe Birthday Challenge. As for my trip to the Allentown Show yesterday, I went with the intention of avoiding stamps and updating my Spellbinders. I did stray a wee bit and got some Webster Pages, Zip Dry Glue, and Embossing Folders. Thanks to a super deal they were running at Heartfelt Creations, I was penniless in a matter of minutes. Very pleased with what I bought and can't wait to play today! Have a wonderful Sunday!
This is quite the combination of items! The biggest of them is my new SU! Blossom Petals punch and the stamp set that goes with it, called Build A Blossom. I did not realize what a huge flower this would create! I found a blue gingham dp and card stock in my stash. Decided to stamp the petals on the gingham with black. When I stamped the center, I colored it with Copics and did the cracked ice technique on it before popping it up. I added the lacy corner dies from Heartfelt Creations, Decorative Butterfly Border Dies set. My sentiment circle is placed on an EKSuccess punch. For accents I used sheer polka dot ribbon, and pearls. I would like to enter this card in the 
I decided to play and make a card for the current 
I used a #13 Manila tag and painted it with white acrylic paint. I tore and layered some K&Co paper and many leaf punches, topping it off with a handmade flower. I added a bird punch from SU! After using Vintage Photo Distress Ink on my edges, I shabbied it up with some Gina K. Design stamps, and topped it off with a birthday sentiment. My hanger is pale blue organza. 
I have seen many creations already posted using 
Okay, lets move on to my quick card post. Yesterday, while I should have been creating, I was cleaning a bit and looking through stuff that has been unloved for a long time. I came across this D.O.T.S. background that I had stamped and tucked. It is on glossy stock, and it caught my eye because of the shades of blue. I remember I use to use this flowers stamp a good bit and I had it in 2 sizes. I added some Prima's that were a gift from my DD, adding pearl centers. I am having lunch with a dear friend who recently celebrated a birthday and I thought this would be just perfect for her! I hear there are traces of snow in the surrounding states, so I would like to request that you keep it, since my leaf lettuce is up in the garden! Hugs!
My base is Grass Green Pure Luxury cs, and a new white I was trying out with Copics called Neena. The flowers are from a set I have had for ages by Close To My Heart. I can't find a name on it, but it has stems, flower heads, bulbs, and even a dirt pocket for an underground view. All of my word stamps are from an Impression Obsession set called Spring Seals. Sponging was done with SU! inks, and 3 of the corners were punched with an MS loopy corner punch. The butterfly and the bee were little guys I found in my stash. Stickles were used for sparkle and the only other embellishment is a single silver brad.
Here is a card that I made a week ago and it has been sitting here waiting to be loaded. I thought it really fit the bill. The stamp and sentiment are borrowed from my DD. This kitty and (I believe) sentiment, are from Penny Black. My card stock is Sweet Corn from GKD with a layer of digital lattice paper I printed off. My sponging is with Memento and coloring is with Copic markers. I cut the sentiment in a free form shape and added Prima's, mustard grosgrain ribbon, and some amber gems, as my accents.
My card base is Sweet Corn cs from Gina K. Designs. I found a great stripy strip in my stash and edged the one side with my Threading Water border punch from Fiskars. I add a little bit of script to my background. My layering cs is Soft Suede from SU! My under panel has a sheet of paper from an antique dictionary. I used words that included "aroma". Ahhhhhh! The rest of the card is all about my Sweet "n Sassy set called Chocoholic. Don't know about you, but that is my idea of sweet!
