Be Your Own Kind .....

I have a quick post to share today. I made a birthday card for my fitness trainer using the You Got This stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas. I made the bunny into a girl bunny using pink and black paper pieced clothing.

 I would have put a sweat band on bunny, but my trainer doesn't wear one.
 I used a piece of foil from a can of my husbands potato sticks for the mirror like background. LOL, yep, I love to recycle. But, it has the best thickness and texture. I fussy cut my embossed sentiment and popped it up. Pretty simple but I needed something special and personalized. By the way, she loved the card.

Home....yep, there's no place like home...

I made a card for The Cat's Pajamas TCPTUES293 challenge. I don't have very many TCP sets, so I came up with a darling card from my newest collection. I used Take Flight stamp set and Birdhouses die set. I pulled a piece of paper from American Crafts- Amy Tangerine- Yes Please. I love using paper that has images in the corner. I do apologize for the picture. I got a new phone and didn't set up dropbox yet and now I am scrambling to get this posted.

Thanks for stopping by little blog.

I have a new card to share today. I just got a new set of stamps from The Cat's Pajamas called Take Flight and the dies to match. I thought I would try the partial die cutting technique and then just stamp my birds.

Here is the a side view.

Sail into summer

Good morning everyone. Thought I would post a card that I made for The Cat's Pajamas TCPTUES291 challenge . Summer is right around the corner and I found some fun paper to use with my stamped image. My paper is from the 6x6 paper pad from Pebbles called Lakeside. Ooh, I just love this chalkboard style paper. Then I used The Cat's Pajamas set called Ship Happens. I stamped it onto watercolor paper and on the red checked for my paper piecing.  I used watercolor pencils for the shading and the inside of the cup. With all the words on the paper, I didn't think a sentiment was needed. I just love these little penguins and I have them all ready for a summer fun.

  I'm sending this card to my daughter, who is a teacher, and is off for the summer. She is planning a trip across the U.S. and plans to camp, relax and enjoy the National Parks that the U.S. has to offer. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Relax with The Cat's Pajamas challenge

 

Hi Everyone.. Well, I spied a fun challenge at TCP's and thought it would be fun to ink up a few stamps. I have had this one set for a while and just love all the elements in the set. So, here is my card for the challenge.

This set is called What a Blast. See, isn't it darling. The paper I used was from Ki called Growing Garden. I used My Favorite Things Die-namics Blueprints 5 and a piece from BP12 for my layout. I used Spectrum Noir alcohol markers for my coloring. Oh, and I almost forgot my tiny grass and flowers. I pulled those from a Valentine Heart set that has little bitty pieces to add to hearts, etc.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a happy and relaxing day.
