step up HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I love the sizzix step up card dies, and here's a new one from the Stephanie Barnard collection: Happy Birthday.

This one is especially fun as it also comes with cupcake assembling dies, gifts, candles, and banners.....  Awesome!!

I created/sent this cad to my BIL for his birthday.  I also used Sizzix/Stephanie Barnard word die Celebrate.  The candle is from the candles4birthday stamp and die set.  The stars are a die from Balloons2cut stamp/dies set.  Again, paper from TSOL.  :)  This is a fave set!  Fun !!

Easter....

Easter is my favorite holiday!  Springtime weather, being outside.. baby animals, chicks and bunnies... jelly beans and cadbury eggs........... ;) 

I've started to make Easter cards to send out.  I have two to share with you today:  I used TSOL Chocolatebunny2stamp set and dies for both of these cards.

 I used the bubble die from the sizzix birds & tree set.  I also used a TSOL embossing folder.  The stitched die, however, is lawn fawn. 

I look forward to mailing these out.  :)  TFL! 

wheely fun set!

Hello!  This months' TSOL stamp set is wheely cute. ;)  I made two more cards to share using it: 

 The stamp set is called bicycle2stamp and it has matching dies to go with it (available on the 20th if you're not a die club member).  There's also a companion set that was just released to go with it as well.  For this card I also used the photo frame die set as well as tsol pattern papers and brad.

For the card above, I used the same bicycle2stamp set along with the tsol filmstrip die,
pattern paper, ribbon, and button.  :)

TFL!

I also used the chocolatebunny2stamp stamp set and dies and mini button dies.  ALSO:  all products on this card are from The Stamps of Life:  pattern paper, ribbon, flowers, and ink pads.  :) 

Okay!  Sneaking in one last coffee card on the last day to link up!  Spring Coffee Lovers Blog hop!   What a bad influence this hop has been for me this time around as I bought two new coffee cups AND a new coffee/tea stamp set, which I used for the card below.  :)  The stamp set is Fiskars which I picked up at Joann's with a 50% off coupon, so I really shouldn't feel guilty.  ha ha ;)

JAVA GREAT WEEKEND!  :)

Unity challenge link up (2)

Hello!  I'm back with another link up for the Unity Stamp Company Challenge:  

I was a lucky Friday winner a week or two ago, and they sent me this beautiful rose and saying:

 Here's the challenge choices.  This time I just used the color inspiration photo:

A 'wheely' fun new stamp set!

 Bicycle2stamp is this months' club stamp and die set at The Stamps of Life!  I had a lot of fun creating the cards below with it. 

First up, I used the stamp set with the Sizzix XL die circle stand up, and the hot4balloons stamp and dies sets.  The pattern paper is also TSOL as well as the little brads on the wheels........... isn't it fun?  don't you feel like going on a bike ride now?  ;)

This card was created using the Sizzix basic step up card die, and the Sizzix Framelits birds & tree stamp and die set. 

TSOL patterned paper again... cute little bikes...  sweet saying...   :)

and lastly, for today, using TSOL paper and cute little bike clips, a fun little birthday card to wish someone a "'wheely' great birthday"

Coffee Loving card makers SPRING blog hop 3

Okay!  I'm back with one last coffee theme card to link up for the Coffee loving card makers spring blog hop.  I'm going to be busy the rest of the week with other things.

I've been having so much fun hopping to all the participants blogs to see their coffee/tea/cocoa cards.  :)  So many coffee/tea/cocoa stamps out there!  And so many talented paper crafters!  :)

For this card I used all The Stamps of Life/Stephanie Barnard products:  Coffee4two stamps and dies, and circle of circles dies, and SB ink Sky and Cornflower.  The coffee sleeve is colored with copic.  The little heart added was from one of the tags in the sizzix framelits tags with word stamps.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
