A Snow Globe Christmas



This is the card I made for my card club swap. I wish the sparkles showed up on this one...it loses a bit in translation. Lots of shiny things on this one!

This is a departure from my usual style, but I just thought this clear stamp by Autumn Leaves was too cute to pass up. I fell in love with the paper by SEI and had to find it a home! I used Night of Navy and Riding Hood Red as well as some StarDust paper with the snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Creative Ornament



This is the other card I made for my Mom. I think this poor kitty is hysterical. It just looked like an ornament, so I went with it! On the inside it says "I'm an ornament...get it?"

The stamp is by Penny Black.

Catty Christmas



My mom asked me to make her some whimsical cat cards for Christmas and this is the second of the two cards.

I used a Penny Black cat stamp. On the inside it says "Bah Humbug." I just love the look on this cat's face. I have seen that look on Micheala's face once or twice...or a LOT! I used the Martha Steward border punch called Swiss Dots to create the lace-like piece.

Christmas Card


My mom asked for me to make her some Christmas cards this year and this is the result. I like the way they turned out.
The stamped image is colored with my Copic markers...My E33 ran out thanks to the multiple camels! My re-inker is on it's way though! I used a navy blue ribbon and some metallic DMC floss to bring out the colors in the patterned paper. I still need to add some clear glitter to the crowns and a few other things to bring out the detail, but they are almost done!

Big Girl Bookmark



I made this for a joke to give one of my friends. I just love the sentiment on this stamp. I didn't have time to turn it into a card, so I just made a quick bookmark instead. Stamp is a Dolly Mama image. Colored with my copic markers.

Kitty Birthday Wishes



This is the birthday card I have made for my grandmother. She is a kitty lover and I thought this Penny Black stamp was perfect! I used my Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder for the background. Of course, I used my Copic markers to color the image. Not sure where the ribbon and brads came from, but I thought they added a fun touch to this one.

All of the cards I send her or my granddad end up in a box she calls "keepers." I guess this one will join them! I am so fortunate to have her around. Now I just have to make her a present to go with the card!

Sympathy Card



I needed a quick sympathy card and this is what I ended up with. It is a departure from my usual style, but I think it is nice. The big flowers are from Prima. I am not sure where the sentiment stamp came from, but I love the saying.
