~*HAPPY BIRTHDAY!*~ Bronc Buster/Wanted card for a teenage boy

Yesterday was the birthday of a friend's son ~ he turned 14. We had a baseball game last night, so we are all going out to dinner tonight. We are going to pick up something to tuck inside the card on the way to dinner (can't say what it is in case him or his mother see this!!) ~ I used all Stampin' Up! product except the saying and the copper and brown paints I used for stamping the images.

Their family has horses, so I thought this might be something that he would like.

Have a great weekend!

~*WONDERFUL MOTHER*~ embossed birdie card

This card kinda was a "toss together" card... I had punched out the bird the other day.. I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper (not sure why I grabbed this other than a white piece, it was just laying there!).. ran it through the Bigkick using the Stampin' UP! Top Note Bigz Sizzix die, then embossed it.. attached the bird and branch.. stamped the saying using the Stampin' UP! Well Scripted stamp set, punched it out.. layered it on some punched out pieces. I attached some Stampin' UP! wide grossgrain ribbon in Real Red, then bunched some of that ribbon together with an orange button and some embroidery floss... that's it!

~*DOLPHIN*~ card that I put together using a SCS sketch challenge

I made this late last night.. I had stamped and punched out a "congrats" saying for the lower right corner.. but with the twine on there, it made it next to impossible to put it on, so I left it off.. and thought I'd put a sentiment on the inside when needed.


The dolphins and splashes are from a $1.00 set I got at JoAnn's.

SC274 ~*The most beautiful view..................*~ card

I got an email last night with the new sketch challenge on SCS and printed it out. I got busy earlier today (tending to that arm of mine!) and wasn't able to get busy with the challenge till this afternoon.
Here is the layout:


If you'd like to try the challenge yourself, you can post your card in the SCS gallery and then link it to the SC274 thread. I subscribe to the challenges, so I get an email each week letting me know when they are posted.. it's a lot of fun!

This is the card I made.... I used all Stampin' UP! cardstock (mellow moss, white, bravo burgundy and Recollections DSP) Flower Fancy stamp set, saying is from a Fiskars stamp set, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug and Sizzix Embossing Folders, Bigkick, Leaves are a Stampin' UP! Sizzlet die, circles on flowers are punched from the Crop a dile, I put some glassy glaze on the circleson the flowers.... lots of Dimensionals are used ~ they are my most favorite in the Stampin' Up! catalog.

~*Hang In There*~ cute monkey card & Clean Desk!!!

**I made a card for my hubby on Friday,.. I wanted to get it in the mail that day and right after I finished it, I put it in the envelope, addressed it and put it in the mailbox.. I later thought to myself that I hadn't taken a picture of it.. I will try to make another, it used a wonderful daying from a new Fiskars stamp set.

I cleaned off my desk today, in fact I cleaned off my table (I have a rectangle dining room table in the middle of the room that I can easily reach from my stamping desk by just turning around) ~ I got clear stamps into containers, bought some curtain rods from the store and mounted them onto a piece of material that used to be the desktop to a desk I had in Missouri that didn't make it here to North Carolina in one piece. I kept this big piece thinking I would use it one day, maybe mounting it to something and making a work station for say my Cricut Expressions.. anyways it's been up here leaning against a wall behind a computer desk, and today I decided to mount curtain rods to it. The drill ran out out "ompft" after the third rod, and I only bought 4, but could fit more on the thing so I am going to go back and get more.

I made this card tonight.. just finished it a little bit ago. It's nearly midnight, sadly I am not even tired and could probably make another card, but I do need to try and get some sleep!


I used all Stampin' UP! cardstock and designer paper, the punches are Stampin' UP! The embossed/cut layers are Nestabilities. The stamp set is a Hero Arts set called Playful Animals.


I hope everybody has a super week ahead of them.

~*Nuts For You*~ card for my hubby

I got all the Easter cards on their way to Iraq.. they aren't there yet, but on their way.

I made this card this afternoon and sent it in the mail to my hubby.

The stamp set I used is from a Hampton Art flip book that I got a while back at ACMoore using a half off coupon. I hadn't used it until today.. I bought it because of the saying "nuts about you".. the set is so cute.

........alrighty! I got another dozen cards complete

I am so very proud of myself for getting these cards made. They look so pretty in real life. I am going to keep making cards until I get to 100.

Wanna see what a big mess is?? my Sonic cup is over to the right about 6" over on my computer desk!! ha ha.

...... some more finished and another set cut and ready to assemble

I finished the last set of 12 and have cut and stamped all the pieces to make another set. I had been using the regular Versamark and then remembered that I had the dazzle one.. it makes the paper shimmery.. so the last bunch and this bunch I have been using it on for the background with the large Floral background stamp.

I'm going to work on these by punching the bottom of the one pieces and then tying ribbons on them and putting some strong adhesive on the back of them.. dimensionals on the other parts and put them all together.. sounds easy huh? a little time consuming, and these might have to wait until after dinner.. but I am really happy that I am well on my way to getting the cards made so I can get them on their way to Iraq.
