Sentiments...

My husband and I recently up graded my craft area (will post pics soon) and while going through my stamps I realized I had a lot of sentiment stamps needless to say I am not complaining :). While organizing them by categories I realized that I had 4 containers full of sentiments not including ones that came in sets. I have to say that sentiment stamps are by far my favorite go to stamp for any occasion. Since redoing my craft area I have rediscovered some sets of stamps that I had not used in a long time and decided to pull them out and see what I could come up with. These two cards are stamps from neat & tangled stamps and the card is a Studio g which I love since there are so many different styles...my favorite at the moment is the circle one...Until next time...Happy Stamping :)

CAS(E) this Sketch #33

Can you tell that I love flip flops? I seem to be on a flip flop card making craze these days. As most  you know I love Stampin' Up! Crumble Cake card stock though I still call it "Kraft Paper". I also love this deadbeat Designs stamp too. The flip flop punch was an after thought and quite the search on the internet. I was happy to find ek had one! Also since it is now officially summer I wanted to use bright colors for the flip flops. I hope that you enjoy another one of my CAS cards...As most of you know I am all about them! Happy Summer and keep a look out for more summer themed cards.

Spring on the Brain...

Snow is falling now and I am on my Spring Break ~ What is wrong in this picture? Can you tell where my brain is right now? I am ready for spring! All I need is a pedicure and warm weather and I will be good to go But in the meantime this card will have to do. I love this stamp and punch. I found this stamp while visiting my parent's in Albuquerque. We took a day trip up to Santa Fe and I found this great stamp store called Guadalupes Fun Rubber Stamps. Every time I visit I always stop by to see what fun stamps they have. Needless to say I never leave empty handed! The stamp is by deadbeat Designs, the punch is from ek success, the paper is Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake even though I still refer to is as Kraft( I am a big fan of this paper and majority of my cards are from this paper), the patterned paper is also from Stampin' Up! plus the ink which is their Rich Razzleberry. I am a big fan of CAS cards, can you tell?

CAS(E) this sketch #20

This is my first clean and simple card challenge for CAS(E) this sketch! I used Stampin' Up! Crumble Cake for card and punch, which is also Stampin' Up! The camera stamp is from deadbeat designs, which I found in a stamp store in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The smile stamp is from studio g which I found I believe at A.C. Moore. The ink is Riding Hood Red from Stampin' Up! I added some Crafting Tape that I bought today at my local Michael's. I really enjoyed this sketch and I am glad that I ran across this blog!

Note Cards

My sister awhile back asked me to make her some note cards which I had never made before. The picture below is my first attempt. I cut the card at 4 1/4x11 and then and then in half at 10 1/2...I cut the patterned paper at 4x5. I like using the rubber stamp in the corner with the scalloped punches. I found that rubber stamp at Guadalupe's Fun Rubber Stamps in Santa Fe, New Mexico while visiting my parents. If you are ever in that part of the country I highly recommend going there. They have some really fun stamps and a very nice staff.

I would like to know if any of you have made note cards and what dimensions you used! 

Spring Has Sprung...

With Spring like weather we have had in the D.C. Metro area these past few weeks all of the flowers are in bloom around here. With seeing all the beautiful flowers I pulled out my Cricut machine and bright fun colors to make some flower cards...here is the first one that I made...I will be posting more of them...some plain and others on patterned paper like this one!
