Happy Valentine's Day!

 I really need to start updating my blog more regularly! Though I guess I say that every time and don't do it.   I'll make this my New Year's resolution...it isn't too late to do that, is it?  I'll start now :) I had to make a Valentine's Day card for a swap and needed to use red, white and pink. So of course I make a card using pink and white and completely left off red!  Luckily I realized this and made a card with RED and pink...yep forgot white...so I added a quick sentiment tab in white (and the inside of card had white.)  I think this card can count for red, white and pink now (note to self, pay closer attention to details, lol).  On this card, I used the Altenew 3D flower dies and The Greetery's Shiplap Builder Die which I have a serious love affair with!!!

 

And it wouldn't be me if I didn't complete the inside :)

 

It's a rainy and cold Saturday so off to play some. 

Happy HOWL-o-ween!

 It's November! Like...how? I mean I'm glad this year is finally getting close to ending 'cuz goodness, we need a new year but time just seems to be going so quick.   But since it is November 1st, I guess that means I can post a Howl-o-ween card, LOL. (I forgot to post it earlier). I got this great stamp from Magnolia so I just had to ink her up!!!! And who better to give a card to than my Mom.  

And what's scarier than flowers? right? ha-ha.  I didn't have any black flowers so I used my copics and colored one.   Gotta use what I have.

And now for the inside:

And yes, I "decorated" the inside of the card too. I just feel like it's not done if the inside of the card is left blank.  What do you think? Do you finish the inside of card? Or just leave it blank??

Oh you can't tell but my ghost glows! I had some Martha Stewart Glow-In-th-Dark glitter from years ago. I wasn't sure it would still work but it did. Not the greatest of pics, but how do you take a pic of this???

Signing off for now, but will be back soon with another card I just finished up.  Happy November everyone!
 

God Bless the USA!

 Happy summer!  I had a swap with the theme Red, White and Blue for July.  Now that my recipient has received the card I can post it.  Oh yeah, and of course of I used a Tilda image (I just love her!)

And my maker started getting low on the flesh color and of course I didn't have a refill so the skin looks a tad scaly...I have to work on that ;)

And here's a pic of the inside (had to decorate that too).That's it for now, more to come later. 

Summertime's calling me...

Happy July!  I had to make a Summer theme card last month and got some cool dies in recently so of course the card had to use them, right??  And I also inked up a stamp I've had for awhile but never used (I really have way to many of those, shhhh!)

I had to make it an easel card since it was so busy, LOL.

This was quite the involved card :)   But I think it was worth it in the end. So, does it scream summer to you?

I hope y'all have a wonderful and uneventful summer!  Til later, alligators!

Once Upon A Time...

there was the cutest lil Princess...don't you just love this image?!  She is so adorable! OK, she's not technically a Princess but a fairy, since her name is Fairy Twila (and you can get your very own fairy at CC Designs...and she's a digi stamp, so instant gratification!).  Anyhoo, I had to do a card with a fairytale theme and as soon as I saw her I knew I just had to ink her up.  Now, if I could just figure out how to get her to grant me my wishes!!

It's a simple card for me, but I thought it had just the right amount of embelllies so I stopped myself.  And I didn't want to take away from the fairy herself :)

And this is about the only other picture I got of this cutie.  Just gives me an excuse to have her show up on another card one day...
Hope everyone is staying safe and sane in this crazy world!

May Flowers

Happy Monday!  Has the world just gone batsh*t crazy or what?  Geesh, I swear I feel like I'm in a twilight Zone show (They are running in the mornings on a cable channel and I'm addicted! Though it really is starting to feel like I'm going to have Rod Serling show up any minute now).  But enough with that...on to my card.  I'm in love with this card! I think because it's so bright and cheery and makes me happy.  I had to make this for a May Flowers swap and though it got to her in June (and that's another story!) but I think it's cheery enough for anytime.  I used the somewhat new Honey Bee Stamps Spring Time Bouquet! I love these dies. Enough chattin from me...

And it wasn't a flat card (surprised? not!)

I did decorate the inside but I guess I forgot to get a pic of that so you can just use your imagination, ha-ha.  That's it for me, for now.  I'll be posting more pics later this week.

Have a safe but fun week.

A Ribbon card...

So I had to do a ribbon card for a swap and let me tell you, this card was the hardest for me.   I had  to send it to someone who is very talented with all the distress/oxide etc inks.  I tried so hard to make the card like she does and well, let's just say I'm not as talented as her and it was a mess. I finally just gave up and made her a card in my style (whatever the heck that is, ha-ha).

And I did add a ribbon so it does constitute a ribbon card, right?

I think the Hi die is from MFT, but every time I look at it I see "his".  Do you see "hi" or "his"?  Oh well, it is what it is so...

And of course I had to decorate the inside:

Thanks for looking.  I'll be back with more cards over the next few days.
