Hi Everyone, you all know Shery, the owner of STAMPlorations. Guess what? It's her birthday today and she sure deserves some cards for this special occasion! So the DT got together to celebrate this special occasion with a little hop! For details, go and visit the STAMPlorations blog . I wanted to use my favorite rose again - you can find it HERE . the Cutplorations die is HERE . I heat embossed the roses in gold and used Inktense to color them. Fussy cut them. Heat embossed the happy and used gold foil paper for the word die. I cut the wood paper panel with the medium sized stitched nesting die . Added an enamel dot. Happy birthday, dear Shery, I hope it is going to be your best ever! I wish we could have some cake together, but unfortunately this picture will have to suffice.....

Hi Everyone, I upcycled some commercial cards. I always get a lot of cards from organizations I make donations to and I usually don't throw them out, but use them for various things - mostly to try out a card idea, use them as shims, or whatever. But this time I thought I re-purpose them into handmade cards. My stamp supplies:     Leaf Prints,   Retro Circles,   Bubble Dance Lower case alphabet , Beautiful , Sweet Spring Phrase dies ,  YOU word die set For the Birds Curious to find out how I did this?

Hi Everyone, a very quick card post for today - even shorter than my usual.... I wanted to play in a couple of challenges and that Katzelkraft monster gave me a stern look. I inked up his colleague, but had ignored him....no more!!! The cute little coffee cups are from STAMPlorations, as is the die cut sentiment . Colored with Inktense and a white gel pen. You want to have the monster as well?

Hi Everyone, my blogging friends started a new challenge and of course I have to play along!!!! I am sure you all know about the TWOFER challenge - the master mind behind it is the beloved Darnell from djcardcreations . So the idea is to take one stamp of die and make two different cards. The current theme is FEATHER. The feather I used is from an ancient Hero Arts set. For the black card I heat embossed it in gold, added a large feather as well and colored it with Fine Tec mica water colors. The sentiment is by Papertrey. Added gold splatters and Washi tape at the bottom. The white card is super simple as you can see. The same feather. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations and the cute little bird is another ancient stamp from a company I believe no longer exists. And to get Darnell excited it was an NBUS stamp! I did add some subtle grey shading to to feather. Here are a bit bigger pictures. What a FUN challenge! I am sure I'll be a regu...
