BOO!

 A Halloween card I made last night using a cute Fresh Brewed Designs digi called Boo Spider Wreath.  I'm not a fan of spiders, but this one is too cute to spook.  :)  The wreath color photo'd a little off in color, but...  Quickly colored with copic markers, and I added glitter to the web.  The card is a Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard BigXL circle card stand up.   I also used Sizzix circle framelits to cut around the wreath and for the black border.  :) 

TFL! 

Hap-bee Monday!

Good Morning!  It's been a while since I've posted, but not because I haven't created anything..... I've been SUPER busy creating!  In fact, I've created 47 cards in 2 weeks!  Woohoo!  I can't say I've accomplished too much around the house, but but boy to do I feel productive in my crafty space.  lol!  Now to clean up!  and Run.  and clean, you know, the house.  lol.

I created this card a while back, but haven't shared it yet.  That bee makes me happy.  Isn't it cute?  The bee and honey comb is part of the Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard Triplits die set called Bee. After I cut the honeycomb piece directly from the front of the card. I set it back in it's place, placed clear contact paper in the inside with the sticky part towards the front. This does two things: holds the cut out piece in place, and allows sticky glue in the cut out spaces for me to add glitter. :) The flower is a Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard Bigz L die flower layers.  I found the pretty black and white paisley vellum at Michael's.  The button is from TSOL: buttons2love.

Thinking of you is from a TSOL stamp set called Sea2flower.

So.... just wanted to stop in and leave a quick post with a card to share.  HAVE A GREAT WEEK!! Oh- and THERE'S NEW PRODUCTS AT THE STAMPS OF LIFE TODAY!  CHECK THEM OUT! :)

Happy Wednesday!

Hello!  Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week.  It's a good thing my ds woke up on his own this a.m., because I was deep in sleep and over slept.  It's definitely a good morning for an extra cup of coffee!  Speaking of coffee, I thought I'd share this quick and easy coffee card with you.  

I used the  Sizzix basic step card die along with stamps by TSOL coffee4two.

more snowman cards!

 and more cards using the snowman2build set by The Stamps of Life. The stamps and dies are quick, easy, and fun.

 Shaker card using flower soft for snow.

Gate fold card ... with the whole family on it. ;) 

and a fun couple of snow people....

and there's more!  LOL!  but that's it for today! :)

step it up!!

Just released today (yes, all kinds of fun stuff today!  this is my 2nd post) at The Stamps of Life:  Sizzix step-up card die set.    and a current fave!  I love the step up cards I see online and have been wanting to make one, but I'm super lazy about reading directions, etc., so when I saw this die set to create one, I got super excited!  Now I, too, can make cute step up cards with ease! 

This first card is I created using several different stamps from The Stamps of life, but I also used the flower dies that comes WITH the step up card die.  :) 

This is my favorite that I made, because I just think these penguins are the cutest!!  TSOL stamp set:  Penguins4Christmas

Coming up sooner than Christmas.... Thanksgiving!  I used Turkey2stamp stamp and die, and Thanks2fall stamps.

and to make this step up die card a little more versatile, it makes great steps inside a card for a pop up card.  I glued it into a card base, deco'd the front and the inside as shown.  I used stamp sets candles4birthdays and balloons2cut&stamp.

Snow much fun....

 at The Stamps of Life!  It's Oct. 1st, so that means.... new club stamps and dies!  If you're a member, they're on their way to you right now!  If not, don't worry, they'll be available for purchase on the 20th of the month.  This stamp set with matching dies is so cute!  I went a little over board with making snowman cards, and plan to make more.  For now, here are a few I'll share with you now.  :)
I cut the oval frame using a sizzix die Fancy oval frame. 

 A gift for you and the to and from is from the TSOL Penguins4christmas stamp set.

 Circle flip it #2 card die .  No snowman for this card, just warm wishes using the stamps and dies for the accessories.  :)
