Yesterdays Papers

Over on the Stamping with the Oldies blog we have been playing with our older papers this week. I made this card using some papers from K & Co that I have been hoarding for years without ever using a single piece until now.

 

 

I love these cute stamps from Unity, they are from a kit called "Shine Out", and I just added some ribbon and a few pearly gems to it.

 

Thank you for stopping by, and have a great weekend!



Da Bomb {F4A135}

Wow, two posts in one day!

Just thought I would share this cute card I made for the Free for all challenge today. My daughter wanted a card to send to her very silly friend in Michigan, and we think this is perfect for her.

 

Supplies:

A Muse stamps

PTI card stock

Memento Ink

Googly eyes

 

Thank you for stopping by, and have a fun weekend!

Lots of Hearts {FWF}

Hi, and Happy Friday!

Today I have a card with some stamps that I got about a month ago, but had not had a chance to ink them until last night. I love these worn hearts and had so much fun playing with them. I embossed the background and the heart with some glitzy embossing powder (kinda hard to see in the pic), and I love the shiny glittery hearts with the distressed edges.

 

 

Supplies:

Unity "Hearts of old" background stamp

Unity "A Little Grunge Love" kit

Stampabilities "Gracie Moon" alphabet stamps

CTMH Holiday red ink

Versamark ink

embossing powder

twine

 

I usually do not make a lot of distressed stuff, but this was easy and fun, so I will definitely do more of it from now on.

 

This weekend I am hoping to get some time to craft and finish making cards to fill a box that I am sending to OWH later in the week. It makes me so happy to send them cards, and I feel like that is the least I can do after receiving so many cards made by OWH crafters while my hubby was deployed last year. And when I make cards for OWH my husband does not complain about the time and money I spend on crafting :)

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a fun weekend!

 

TTFN!

 

 

 



CAS188 Pinterest Inspiration

Today I made a card for the CAS188 challenge at SCS. I love the colors and the leaves in the inspiration photo, but I was so not in the mood to make a fall card, so here is what I came up with for this.

 

 

Supplies:

Unity SOTW stamp

Me & My Big Ideas dp

PTI card stock

Leaf pins

Ribbon

I am Thankful

 

The sentiment on my card is perfect for how I feel today, because even though it is Monday, I am thankful for so many things. Today I am mostly thankful for the fantastic weekend that our family spent on the beach. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect the entire weekend, a perfect way to spend a weekend before it gets too cold to go to the beach and swim.

I wanted to make a card using this rolled flower that I made this morning, the flower turned out a little bigger than I had imagined, and next time I make one of these I will use a not so wide ribbon.

 

The sentiment stamp is from Unity "The time is now", orange card stock from PTI, and I am not sure where the ribbon or the swirl stamp is from, I have had both for quite a while.

Friends With Flair {Happy Halloween}

Lately I have been trying really hard to use up some of all the older dp that I had to have, and then never used. When I was going through my drawers of papers, I found this huge pad from DCWV called "The Fall Stack", and I thought that these papers were perfect for this bat stamp from Unity that I have had for some time too and never inked until today.

 

 

I embossed the bat stamp so it is really shiny looking, and added the black gems just because it is so hard to resist the urge to add a little bling to everything I make.

 

Supplies:

Unity "Halloween Traditions" kit

DCWV paper

Zva gems

Spellbinders ovals

embossing powder

 

Thank you for stopping by, and have a happy weekend!

 

 

 

 

 

 



Friendship

Seems that it is harder than I thought to use up one entire pad of paper...

Last week I challenged myself to keep making stuff until one pad of dp was used up, and I am still working on that. So here is a card made with papers from Me & My Big Ideas and a stamp from Unity.
