None of the brave souls that ventured a guess were correct, but it was definitely fun reading the guesses!

Peaches-n-Cream!!


Today I'm sharing a fun card I made using a fabulous image by Carmen Medlin for SCACD called "1st Signs of Spring".  Isn't she just gorgeous?  I wanted this card to be super romantic so I piled on the feminine elements, papers and bling!  Spring is for romance, love and flowers right? What better way to express that than with a card--this is perfect for birthdays, wedding showers or just for a friend of course!

My papers are from the fabulous new smaller K&Co paper pad "Julianne"--I love that their prints are now smaller, perfect for cards.  I used a Marianne Designs frame die and then ran it thru with a CB "swiss dots" embossing folder.  The peach cs was run thru a different CB Embossing folder--I love lots of texture.  The green elements were done with newer Marianne Designs dies as well---I love adding them to beautiful flowers like these by Prima.  (Make sure to check out all the new Prima 2011 flowers here, they are GORGEOUS!)  Some pearls finish it off nicely.


Yes this cutie was colored with Copics: YR02,YR00,YR0000/YG99,YG97,YG93/E11,E00,R20/E29,E25,E31.  And then I accented with Stickles on her shoes and dress trims--a gal's gotta have some pretty bling!

And because I'm such an enabler I thought I'd share with you some fabulous new products in stock at SCACD that you MIGHT need, LOL! Now don't blame me if you HAVE to buy some ;)

Kaisercraft flowers 4 new colors added
Kaisercraft paper - Chanteuses and Lullaby

New Scrap Fx laser cut chipboard
New Tonic Punch Sets
New Petaloo (sweet fabric flowers OH SO YUMMY)
goosebumps (fun stuff spray some on your paper for a embossed effect or resist)

Ginger Anyone?



This is a card I created using a bit of - ok a LOT of embossing.  The background and fabulous chandelier are both from the Couture Creations embossing folders.  The background is done on the fabulous colored cardstock and then the embossed portion rubbed with the copper Metallic Rub On stuff that is just fabulous.  I also used it on the chandelier.  The chandelier was embossed on some white cardstock that had been previously sprayed with a bronze mist that shimmers like crazy.


The butterfly was also cut and embossed from the same cardstock as the chandelier, but then I used a copper paint pen to emphasise the raise design.
I used the same pen to edge the chandelier and the stamped thank you sentiment.  I tied a double ribbon of a cream and copper color on the bottom and called it done.  IRL this card is stunning, if I do say so myself. 

Get Inky!

BLOWING KISSES FROM THE HEART

I am sorry I am so late in posting this morning. I just now checked the blog and realized it didn't post.

Good Morning! Man, it seems like forever since I have posted a card. My craft room needed a serious organization and it took alot longer than I thought it would. Good news, I found stuff I forgot I even had. Finally, I got around to being able to make a card. Isn't this image just the sweetest? It is "Blowing Kisses" from The Spring Sampler Set 2011 by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.
This post will be a little more lengthy than normal because I have some goodies to tell you about that Susana just got in. The image was colored with Copics and highlighted with Stickles. The background was cut with my Spellbinder Nestie Lacey Circle and embossed with a CB folder.

These gorgeous flowers are Prima that I distressed and sprayed with my favorite Maya Road Mist - Iridescent Pearl which make them sparkle and glisten.

Here is a picture of the inside. I know hearts, hearts, and more hearts. Just wanted to pass it on.

Now on to the shopping news - Susana has in the following new items:

Kaisercraft flowers 4 new colors










New Petaloo (sweet fabric flowers OH SO YUMMY)


Goosebumps (fun stuff spray some on your paper for a embossed effect or resist)




Le Blanche (Silicone stamps very different this a wood mount effect but it is squichy cushion and a plastic like image - Works & gorgeous)



Also, Susana has the SEW EASY back in stock with all the attachments. These are in great demand, so get yours before they are gone.

Thank you for stopping in and checking out my card. I appreciate all of my followers.


Have a wonderful and blessed week.


HUGS,

Coffee anyone?

Hello ladies!
How are you? I'm so sorry that I don't have the time to visit all of the blogs that I want to. I really, really need to get some time left this weekend - keeping my fingers crossed. However - you should kow that I do read the sweet comments that you leave here and they are sooo much appreciated. So cyberhugs to you all!

Today I want to share a little card that I made using the cute Mrs Cleaver. She really put a smile on my face and reminded me of the trip that a friend of mine and I did - driving in a Saab Conv from Atlanta to Denver. We of course needed to make several stops during the week of travel and yes - I can confirm - Mrs Cleaver do exist in real life ;-)

I coloured her with my copics. DP from SCACD - I do hope that you've seen Susana's great collection of 6" x 6" paper pads??? And of course all of them are a MUST have ,-). Flowers are the new Prima roses.
Lace from my local craft shop Pysselakuten as well as the pearls.Sentiment from my sweet friend Kathy.

Hope you like her!

Here you can see the top of the card....I went for a more vintage feel to the card with the lace and metal corner embellie!
 Miss. Cameo Rose was colored with Copics.  The swirls in the frame were colored with Copic Spicas for a fun glittery effect.  She was cut out using a SB Labels 9 and airbrushed the edging with my Copic ABS.  Speaking of Spellbinders...Susana has the BRAND NEW DIES in stock!!! Click -->here<-- to go and check them out!

Hey There Hot Stuff!

Here is another of the super fun images from the latest release at SCACD. I am just having a blast playing with every single image from this release.  This is Hot Stuff and boy, isn't she? 


I just love how confident and collected she looks. The background and accent paper is from the Kaisercraft Seaside collection.  The stitches are created with the Sew Easy.  Once again I have to say that I am a bit shocked at my reaction to this particular tool.  I thought it was a cool idea and that maybe I would use it to create piercing for fauz stitching.  Do you see?  That is not faux stitching on this card.  I am having a blast using this tool and doing real stitching!

The flower is also from Kaisercraft.  Their Paper Blooms are fabulous.  SCACD has them in a ton of different colors and then you can spray them with mists to change them up if you want too!  I didn't understand how fabulous these flowers are and how they are different than what you already have until I saw them up close.  Each flower on the card is different and so detailed.  There are veins in the leaves!  I tried to get a couple of shots to help you see.

YUMMY!!


Now hurry over to SCACD and get shopping for some goodies.  Susana is just back from a vacation and she added a ton of great new things to the store.  Including some super fabulous chipboard that is different from what you are expecting to find.  There are clockhands, teacups, fairies and these:


Aren't they amazing!? I can not wait to play with them!!  Go have fun trying to decide what to get and remember, free shipping at $100 so why not just get them all?

Get Inky!

Call Me!

Welcome back friends!

Today I've used Call Me by Victoria Case for SCACD from the Retro Crew. Isn't she darling? Unlike me, she LOVES to talk on the phone lol! I'm more of a text or email girl :)

I've used copics for coloring: E35 E34 YR21 YR20; E11 E21 E00 R20; R11 R10 R00; B05 B02 B01 B00 B000. She's stylin' in her Stardust Stickles coated crop pants as well as her bow. Her eyes look so attractive with the Diamond Glaze on top. I've also given the phone and her shoes a coat of Diamond Glaze.

The oval and scalloped oval (15% off!) were cut out with my nesties and the curly punch around the page is MS. The phone embellishment is a die cut by Sizzix. I've added a few pink rhinestones for the rotary dial. A quick wrap around my stylus with black wire and voila - a phone cord!

I'll be back soon with another fabulous image by Victoria Case! She's a real beauty... you won't want to miss it!!!

Important News Update:

In case you missed it, SEW EASY tools are back in stock at SCACD!!! Get yours Here.

Love and blessings~

I want to play

Happy Sunday to all of you!

Just a short note from me and to remind you that the SCACD store opens today again.
Susana has of course a lot of new goodies in store for you:-)

I also want to show you the beautiful image - I want to play - by Carmen. She reminded me of Alice in Wonderland - and by using the Bo Bunny - Timepiece the scene was completed. She's reading the story and pretending that she and her little friend is off on an adventure.

Hope you like her and remember to check out the store today for more new goodies.
