Onesie Card

Well there must be something in the water. Everyone seems to be having babies right now. This onesie card is perfect for baby showers. It so happens that some of my friends and relatives are expecting. I made a couple of these boy baby shower cards. I got the idea from Lauren Meader, and her tutorial is below. This card is made out of stampin up punches. I do not have all of the stampin up punches, so I improvised with the Creative Memories circle cutting system. This card is so easy to make and very cute.

Elmo Cake

Avery will be 2 tomorrow and she wanted Elmo Cake. I know the nose doesn't look orange, but it is. It's late and the lighting isn't quite right.

Rub-on...Rub-off...

I found this coffee mug with the spoon in the dollar bin at Target. The flowers are rub-ons that were on clearance at the local craft store. I love rub-ons. You can put them on anything and they are not very expensive. This project took all of 5 minutes to do.

My Glass Ornaments

I know it's not Christmas time, but I wanted to make these for a change of pace. I actually made the crayon kids ornament for my son's teacher last year, but I'm late on starting the whole blogging thing. Since Easter is around the corner, I tried a bunny ornament to see what it would look like. Next, I want to experiment with differents colors for these ornaments. I will post what I come up with.

Sweet Feet

Originally, I intended to use this stamp set for scrapbooking puposes. After using the stamps in baby books, I realized they would make cute cards as well. Yes, I still have not completed baby books for my 2 children (they are 4yrs and 2yrs old). I love the foot prints, they look so real. It looks as though I actually stamped a babies foot. I just had to make a card. I really don't know anyone who is pregnant right now, but I'm prepared.

Zoom...Zoom...

It seems as though my son is always going to birthday parties lately. I always need cute boy birthday cards (all the parties have been for boys). I bought this stamp set because it was being discontinued and I had been eyeing it for a while. Also, all my stamps are of flowers and girly stuff, so I needed something for boys. This is perfect since my son loves cars. I used kraft, glorious green, and cream confetti card stock. The stop light is made from 1/4" circle punch.

Elmo Birthday

My daughter is going to be 2 this week, so she insisted on having an Elmo Birthday. The dimensions of the card are 4.25" x 5.5" so you can get 4 out of one 8"x 11.5" sheet of paper. The Elmo is made out of punches. I got the idea from of course http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/. The link is below. I will be making an Elmo cake too, so I will post those pics later. The link below will give you so many ideas for your punches, you will go out and buy more. Have fun....

Easter Carrot Box

Side View
Front View

I saw these on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ and had to make one. This is such a cute and easy idea. You can fill the inside with crumpled shredding paper and treats for a great gift.

Flower Card

Bunny Card

This is the 3x3 card that will go with the Easter gift below.

Easter.....Already

These small watering cans were a dollar at the local craft store. I knew there was something I could make with it. I'm going to put some candy in it, and there will be my son's Easter gift for his teacher. I can't wait for Easter this year (as you can guess, I'm already making Easter gifts on Valentine's day). My youngest child will be old enough to hunt eggs.

Sew Sweet

I started this shirt when my mother was visiting last weekend. I finally finished it tonight. It actually fits. I amaze myself when the clothes I make is wearable. Now it just needs a Dora, so my daughter will wear it. (everything must have a Dora on it).

Two Peas in a Pod

When I first discovered this stamp, I wanted to use it for scrapbooking. I have 2 children, a boy and a girl. This stamp sums up how loving they are towards each other (for now anyway). But with my cousin's upcoming wedding, I need shower and wedding cards too. I thought this would be perfect, since I don't have many wedding or shower stamps. First, I embossed the stamped image with black ink and clear embossing powder. This allows the image to look more defined and even in color. I added some designer paper, paper flowers, ribbon, punched stars in 2 sizes, and stamped the background with versamark and white ink.

Ooh...La...La...

Okay girls...it's time to put on your big girl panties. I absolutely love this card. It's so easy to make and too cute. This is perfect for Valentine's or Bachelorette parties.

V-day Mailbox

Here is the Valentine's Day mailbox, that I made for my son's teacher. These are very easy to make. I found the idea on http://www.splitcoaststamper.com/. It's basically a 4x12 inch piece of designer paper that is wrapped around and then you decorate the ends. I chose to put peppermint hot chocolate inside as a gift. Unfortunately, you can only find the mailboxes in the Target dollar binds between January and February. So, if you find these, you should stock up. There are only 3 colors, red, white, and pink. With a little imagination they make excellent gifts for all occasions.

Another Valentine's Day Card

Here is another card. This one is not as time consuming as the card below. I love stamping and embosing white ink on black card stock. This will be the card for my son's school teacher.

Valentine's Day Card

Hello everyone, this is my first post and first blog ever. I'm so excited to learn about this stuff. This is a great way to share the ideas that pop into my head. Now, on to the card. I have been working on Valentine's Day cards for a couple of weeks. I absolutely love the reverse spot light technique from split coast stampers and couldn't wait to use it. This card might be a little too busy, but I couldn't resist puting it all together. Feel free to e-mail me or post any questions.
