CASing a Beauty!

I've had this really cute card saved on my desktop of my computer for a couple months now - just sitting there waiting to be CASed!  So I decided that today was time to make it!  The original was made by Tessa Wise, and I did change up the colors a little (on hers some were colors that are now retired), and I did a few other different things.

 

Here's a closer look at the flowers that are from the set, Raining Flowers.  It was a set we got at Convention in 2011.  I still love how cute and fluffy looking they are!  And I stamped them in Tangerine Tango ink.  The stems behind them are stamped on Lucky Limeade card stock, in Lucky Limeade ink. - Then, yep, it's all cut out by hand!!

And here's the 'thank you' saying I chose, from the set Made for You!  LOVE that set, great price for all the use I get out it!!

Googly Ghouls for a Challenge!

I made this card this morning for the Card Challenge over at Craft Project Central!  I've been dying to ink up these cool little guys from the new set Googly Ghouls.  You can find them in the Holiday Catalog.

 

Here's a closer look at the witch and mummy - and of course they have some 'googlies' on their eyes!  I LOVE these little things - and most of all, I LOVE that they're self-adhesive!!  Sooo easy to put them on!!  I know in the past I've bought the googly eyes from a craft store and what a pain to glue them on!

 

And here's "Frank!"  I didn't give much color to any of the 'ghouls,' but it sure keep the card easy, simple and clean!

 

And here's the sketch I followed.  You can do it too - head over to Craft Project Central and join in!

Back to School Cuties!

I was crafting with some of my stampin' buddies the other day and we made a bunch of cool stuff.  I was helping with some ideas using the Storytime Designer Papers.  So this first card was pretty much my idea.

 

Then I found some cute cards made by Kim Score, and I kinda added some extra touches to them!  It was actually my buddy Liz's idea to add a little bling to the little red wagon.  She said to use the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details, but I like the 'less mess' version.  So I cut a piece of Red Glimmer Paper and covered the wagon with that!  Fun little sparkle, huh?!

 

This was another re-do of Kim Score.  I added a couple things, but I didn't add a greeting to it yet.  I think it needs an oval with a scallop oval right by the boy's balloon.  I think I'll wait and add it when I know what occasion I'm sending it for!

What I most love about all these cards is that they were made so easily with just the images from the Storytime papers!  Even though I love to stamp, it's kind of cool to make an easy card without any stamps!

Fun Giftie Project for Friday!

Here's a look at the project we'll be making this Friday at class!  It's a simple little matchbook cover.  It has a subtle stamped cover with the Creative Elements set swirly stamp.  

And the little Scallop Oval 'especially for you' tag covers the staple that holds the inside card stock piece in place!

By the way, that little 'especially for you' comes from the set Made for You.  - Has to be one of my most favorite and most used new sets!!  It has two other sayings in it - 'thank you' and 'happy birthday'  And for just $8.95 (clear mount) it's definitely a best buy!!

 

But back to the project - Look what's inside!!  It's a pair of earrings!  I got the idea from a gift I got at Convention from my stampin' buddy Kaylene.  She made me some - and told me how supertastically easy they were to make.  (Yes, I said supertastically!)  So I knew this was going to have be one of my first "shares" with my class!!

 

And here's another look at the inside!  I love how the flower from the Creative Elements set coordinates with the earrings!  They are just so cute - and they come in the 5 new In Colors - Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit.

Thanks for stopping by, and hope to see you at class this Friday!!
