Oh Christmas Tree...

Here is my latest Christmas Card...

It has been several years since I have made Christmas Cards...probably a good 5...I have made several different sets and so far this is my favorite one...I have to admit it was "Pininspired" from Pinterest and I am glad that I ran across it! I used Stampin' Up! Work of Art set for the tree...I used Mellow Moss for the tree, Chocolate Chip for the tree trunk, and I added randon red buttons I had in my stash...as for the sentiment "Cheers" from Stampin' Up! set Good Greetings I used Real Red...

I love how all the colors came together

 

 

 



Christmas Cheers....

This time of year I really love making cards for friends of mine but this year I decided I wanted to do something different to put their cards in...this is what I came up with...

About a year or so ago I bought kraft bags off of Etsy thinking I would use one day and now that day is here! For the trees I used Stampin' Up! tree punch, for the patterned paper I used American Crafts Christmas Paper ~ Wish List. The white paper is Stampin' Up! I used Mossy Meadow ink pad, and the ribbon is also Stampin' Up! and I found the mini clothes pin at Michael's. I really liked how all the colors came together



It's beginning to look like Christmas...

Christmas is around the corner and I am busy on making Christmas cards! So I decided to venture away from my cards this time around...I recently bought Unity Stamps Advent{full} Season and the ideas started flowing!

I looked on Pinterest and went from there...

I ended up buy small kraft bags and the ideas started coming!
I had so much fun making the first one that I have made 4 more for family and friends...

I used Mushy Little Guy...I pulled out my Martha Steward button punch to add some fun colors to the yellow polka dots...I used American Crafts paper...Memento Tuxedo Black for the shroom and sentiment...Stampin' Up! Whisper White for the card, punch, and sentiment...I also used Stampin' Up! banner die for the sentiment...and some DMC floss to add a touch of color to each button...such a fun stamp!

Whatever the Weather Rain Boots...

Here is my card for two challenges...Freshly Made Sketches 130 and Unity Stamp Co. itty bitty challenge day #5...Spring has finally arrived in Northern Virginia so I felt inspired to pick out some fun bright spring colors and with rain in the forecast I thought of this Unity stamp...I used Recollection Home Basics Paper Pad for the fun polka paper, Copic markers Yellow Green (YG03) and Lemon Yellow (Y13)...still working on my coloring skills...I also used Stampin' Up! Whisper White for the card, the punch (SU! 2 1/2), and Memento Tuxedo Black for boots and sentiment...rummaged through my ribbon and buttons to help complete the sketch...love how the two colors compliment each other...

Ellie's Wish...itty bitty challenge day 4

For day 4 I thought I would make a tag...I used Ellie's Wish which I think is adorable...

I pulled out my big shot to make the tag and some Stampin' Up! paper I got years ago...still working on my Copic coloring skills...I added black twine to add a little "pop"...

itty bitty challenge day 3...It's A Good Day...

Here is my card for day 3 of the itty bitty challenge...This is one of my favorite

stamps...I have been going through my card stock and this polka dot pattern jumped out at me...I love the color combination...

itty bitty challenge...miss you

Here is my card for day 2 of the itty bitty challenge...I dusted off my sewing machine this evening and very carefully attempted to sew on my card...I picked bright fun colors since there was a bit of spring in the air today...I liked how the different colors and patterns turned out

Unity {be inspired} Challenge

Here is my card for this month's Unity {be inspired} Challenge...I love the colors that were chosen for this month...I dusted off some old Stampin' Up designer series paper that I got years ago to use for this card...can't remember the name of it! The Unity stamp I used was one that I got from a grab bag...I love sentiments especially thank you ones because you can never say thank you enough! The silver brad flowers are also Stampin' Up...I recently did some "spring cleaning" in my craft room and "rediscovered" some fun embellishments including these flowers...

Friends with Flair and Freshly Made Sketches #128....note to self...

Here is my take on this weeks Unity Friends with Flair and Freshly Made Sketches #128...

I used Unity Stamp Co/Jillibean itty bitty note to self...for the paper I used October Afternoon 9 to 5...I love this paper! When I saw the paper I immediately thought of this stamp...definitely a fun card to make!

Friends with Flair...Sent with care...

Here is my card for this week's Friends with Flair...I love this stamp and sentiment...especially the simplicity of it...I chose spring colors because I am so ready for that season to make an appearance!

Thanks for stopping by my little blog...

You scream...I scream for Ice Cream...

Have summer on the brain today and thought this stamp was perfect for that thought...Unity Stamp Co. More than Ice Cream...Whenever I hear the ice cream truck play it's music I instantly think back to when I was a kid and racing out to the street so I wouldn't miss it! I played with my Copic markers...still trying to master the art of coloring with these! 

Miss You...

Pulled out my Cricut today to make this card.. This is my favorite flower to use with my cards...had spring on the brain again even though another winter storm is heading this way...love how the colors and patterns compliment each other...

Colorful Joy...

After all the cold bleak weather we have had in Northern Virginia I pulled out my bright colored washi tape and started playing around and after several ideas this is the end result...I used Unity Stamp Choose Joy sentiment and used Copic markers to add some color to it...definitely got me in the mood for spring! 

And Baby Makes Three

Getting back into making baby cards...it's been awhile but now a friend of mine is expecting a baby so I thought of this punch from Martha Stewart and this Unity Stamp Bitty Regards sentiment which  seems to make the perfect baby card...

you are loved...

Love a Sunday afternoon in my craft room...I got this fun idea from Pinterest...which is a great place to find inspiration...I used two Unity Stamp Co. stamps...a little bit washi and Bitty Regards...pulled out my cricut

it for the heart...love how the yellow twine gives it a bit of pop...

hi...

Always love sending a friend a simple hello card so I pulled out my Unity Alphabetically Adorable set and went to work and this is what I came up with...now who to send it to! 

welcome home baby...

When I started to make this card I had no intention of it being a 

baby card. I had what I call "card maker's block". I looked up at my

punches and the elephant one jumped out at me.

All of the sudden I thought of a baby card and then thought this sentiment would be perfect too. I really liked how this card turned out.

The End is Near...

Can you tell that I love this stamp from Unity? Here is another version of a card that I did about a week ago. This time I added some more color and changed the sentiment.



CAS(E) this sketch! #64

It's been awhile since I have played CAS(E) this sketch! Challenge but when I saw this sketch this stamp from Unity Stamp Co. jumped out at me!

This is one of their Stamp of the Week ones which I just love! I think this stamp and sentiment make the perfect CAS card!

 

It's a Good Day...

Gotta love a Snow Day! Having a Snow Day gives me extra time to play around with my stamps. I have been on a Unity Stamp kick lately. Today I ended up using this adorable stamp. I wish I could hop on my bike right now but we have about a foot of snow on the ground!

 

An Elephant Never Forgets...

Growing up everyone told me that I had a memory like an elephant which is true! When I saw this stamp on the Unity Stamp Co. website it called my name! I have recently discovered burlap and thought this would be the perfect card to add to use it with. I also added the bow to kind of double promise that I will always remember...kind of like a bow that one ties around their finger so they don't forget! I used my usual Crumb Cake from Stampin' Up!, along with their Whisper White. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the elephant and the sentiment. I used Cool Grey Copic Sketch marker (still working on my Copic coloring skills!) and Stampin' Up! stampin' write Melon Mambo for the heart and butterfly. For the punch I used Stampin' Up 2 1/2 inch Circle.



Matching Socks

This is one of my favorite Unity Stamp Co. stamps. I believe this was either my first or second stamp that I bought from them. I certainly live by this motto!

I used my usual Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake paper, Copic Markers, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and Stampin' Up! Clothes Pins. I am happy how it turned out!
