SC175 Father's Day Puppy Dog Card

I started this card days ago when the challenge was first posted, but so many things came up and I couldn't get it finished.. tonight I finally did.. however after I had put the twill on the card.. I realized I had wanted to heat emboss some stamped images on the half circles.. oh well... next time

I colored the puppy dog in with Prismacolor Pencils and used the Prismacolor blender pencil to move the colors around. I stamped and colored the puppy twice and then cut one out to layer on top of the other.. and used some clear glaze on some parts. I kept the paper that came off the back of the stamp when I mounted it.. because the stamps were diecut.. so I stamped the image on it and then trimmed it so I would have a mask.. I then used a sponge to sponge in the background.

Any Takers? FREE Stamp Set (CLAIMED!)

FREE set has been claimed ~ thanks Jen! happy stamping ~ Pam

Sometime last year Close to My Heart had thirty days of tips and had a give away for a free My Acrylix stamp set called Beauty. This past weekend when I was going through some pieces of mail to shred, I found the envelope that was sent to me that had the stamp set in it. I am not a fan of unmounted stamps, so I thought I would post here to see if there is anybody that would like me to mail them the set. I don't think that I can take a picture of it and post it here because of the internet rules for CTMH ~ the set is flowers, the word Beauty and a leaf, there's a circle for the center of the flower as well. Let me know if you want it and I'll send it off to you ~ happy stamping! Pam

Teacher Thank You Apple Card

This is a card that I will give to one of my youngest children's teachers ~ I was messing around this afternoon cleaning up from the stamping I did last night and came up with this card.

I used Real Red for the card base.. off setting the front of the card.. down the right side I used the empressor and mat pack template to emboss the cirles down the edge.. tag punches with apples stamped on the confetti white squares.. I used some chunky glitter attached with glue ~ ribbon and brads across the strips.. thank you on ovals.

I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.

Birthday Card for my 10 year old Son

On May the 5th my youngest son turns 10!!! Tonight I made this card for him ~ It's quite colorful~ I hope he likes it. I used Pun Fun (which I finally broke down and bought ~ hey, I got a free wheel with it, so it was a good deal!) ~ East Coast Prep paper, along with Real Red, More Mustard, Wild Wasabi and Tempting Turquoise cardstock.. I used watercolor paper for the main image and used a versamark marker to color in part of the space ship and put crystal embossing powder on it ~ I got my new Ribbon scissors and I LOVE them ~ they are worth every penny (they were a lot of pennies, but so worth it!)

It's been a long day and I am heading to bed, but wanted to finish this before heading that way.

thanks for reading and looking ~ Pam

Live Your Dreams Afternoon Tea Favorite Card

I spent hours one night making this card.. I used my versamarker pen and colored in the flowers and leaves on the DSP and embossed it with clear embossing powder.. I stamped and embossed the flowers and cut them out to layer on the card.. I used the new twill ribbon (with is SO nice) it's in the Occasions Mini Catalog that is extended til June 30th. When I went to the Stampin' UP! Tulsa Regionals.. the night before I went to a Spaghetti Dinner SCS gathering and I took Greetings Galore stamp set as a door prize.. and attached this card with it. I sponged everything too! it was a fun card to make.. I think it took me so long because I kept changing my mind as I was making it.

Miscellaneous Cards using Touch of Nature and another

These are some cards that I had made up to take to a stamping gathering with some stamper friends of mine.. I had seen a card on Beate John's blog a while back and that morning I used the layout to make up the card ~ the others followed. I cut enough stuff for everybody to make two cards.. I used my Copic Markers on the flower/butterfly/bird.

Busy, Busy Week! Embrace Life Flowered Birthday Card

What a week.. I have been so busy.. I did get some stamping in, but it was for a Patriotic Card swap that I am in on SCS.. I finished them last night and have them ready to mail out this week. I needed a birthday card to send out today and found one of this card that I had made for a swap a few months ago.. I liked it so much that I made some extras to have on hand.. I used the last one I had so I need to make some more if I still have some of the flowered Designer Series Ginger Blossoms Paper ~ I might've used it all on the card swaps I made.

I used In Color Groovy Guava on this card along with Ruby Red.. there is Irridescent Ice Glitter on the flowers too.
