PSC: Everything and the Kitchen Sink

I just went a little nuts on all the embellishments here. I made 2 tags, topped it with a metal rose that I picked up in the clearance jewelry section at M's. I also managed to sneak in real little pearls onto this too...I was also playing with my new Cuttlebug too, love that thing.


Thanks for checkin in with me,

Glass Glitter!!!!!!

So in the order that I received a few days ago I mentioned that I got some pretty fun stuff. I tried to use quite a bit of it on this card. I finally ordered some Glass Glitter and all I can say is holy moly this stuff ROCKS!!!!!!!!! I'm not talkin' alternative soft rock I'm talkin full on hardcore ROCK! Sadly the picture cant even fully translate how awesome this stuff is, I used sticky strip to adhere it into place, scraped at my test run with a credit card and that stuff was stuck on there pretty good, barely any came off.  I also picked up some new colors of ink too, loving Perfect Plum and Baja Breeze!


Anyways, onto what I used on this card:

• Stamps: Nature Walk, Decorative Labels, French Foliage (a must have set IMHO, I hope ya'll got it when you could) all from SU!
• Glue: Sticky Strip (SU!)
• Glass Glitter in Champaign
• XL Label Punch
• Ink: Perfect Plum, Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede 
• Paper: Part of Project Scrap Clean up...yup I'm still going at it :D

Hope you like the card as much as I do,

PSC: Perfect Mason II

This is the last one I created for the Laney set I sent out. I ended up sending a total of 20 cards to be divided into 2 sets of 10. I really love that mason jar, it was the last one I had. I hope whoever ends up with these cards, really enjoys them.


Thanks for looking at all of these,

PSC: Frame

Hi all, sorry I've been m.i.a but I changed my brokerage right after valentines day and had to build a whole new website. I got into the card making mood again late last week only to catch the Flu from my Dh this weekend. Needless to say I'm not feeling all that great but I was able to get pics of my cards before I got sick so I'll be posting them off and on this week.


take care,

I've been wanting to use this Mason Jar piece for awhile and I had no clue how I could possibly use and actually like those feather things but I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.

Good Morning! I'm just loving the Stampin Up stamps this week, especially the French Foliage stamp set, I think this is now my favorite sets. Those little ink spatters are just perfect, not too big, not too small...I'm obsessed! I'm also totally digging the cardboard too, its so fun to work with.

• Plane white Cardstock
• Cardboard
• Hero Arts: Old Letter Writing
• SU: French Foliage,  Le jardin botanique, The bird is SU but I'm not sure which set.
• Distress Inks in Antique Linen, Crushed Olive, Fired Brick, Frayed Burlap and Walnut Stain.

A little note for you

This is my first venture into using cardboard and I think I complimented it nicely with dainty stamps from SU.

I colored the cardboard with distress inks to give it more depth in color. Sadly I shot these at night and the full color isn't really coming through. I stamped all of these details in Frayed Burlap and then used colored pencils. I also added a bit of curling under the leaf and gave it a crease down the center to add to dimension. I also used the rounded end of a paint brush to give a bubbling up effect to the berries.

I really love those little berry branches, I layered small script over them and added a little distress inks to the edge of the card.

What I used on this Card:

• Plain white Cardstock
• SU: French Foliage, Le jardin botanique.
• Cardboard
• Distress Inks in Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen, Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade
• Prisma Colored Pencils

Thanks for looking,

Bonjour Paris!

I was hanging out with a friend of mine when she gave me a quick card challenge. The challenge was can you take this bright colored paper and turn it into something cool and vintage looking. So here is what I created in a matter of minutes.

I'm not going to lie, when she handed me that bright pink paper to match the baby pink tag I was creating, I was a bit worried. She is a Stampin Up! demonstrator and she can color coordinate like nobody's business but pink on pink was a bit of a odd combo for me since I'm not used coordinating things in that way. It was a fun experience though and I'm getting totally hooked on Stampin Up! stuff now because of her :D.

Items used on this card:

Stampin Up! Stamps: Artistic Etchings, French Foliage, Cracked paint background is discontinued. 

Stampin Up! Cardstock: Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette and Very Vanilla

Distress Inks: Vintage Photo and Aged Mahogany.

Stickles: can't remember the shade sorry.
