Will Work for a Bite...

With Halloween coming up I thought using the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo Punches would be fun! Thank you Aunt Lori for hooking me up! I wanted to make a Clean and Simple card and I came up with this...I thought of the Stampin Up "Just Between Fiends" sentiment "Will Work for a Bite" would be perfect with the drippy red...This would be a great card for any "Twilight" fans you may know too...I added some punched out bats to the inside so when the recipient opens it out they fall...Anybody else working on Halloween cards I would love to see them! Post a link....Have a Wonderful Weekend!! Hugs...Cookie

Mr. Frank Boo

For the past few days I have been busy making Halloween cards trying to get a head start! My Aunt and I went out to Michaels and saw these adorable brads by Recollections...They inspired me to get started...I LOVE the colors and the designs on them! I started out by just matting the cut out Boo letters then I thought it needed something else...I went around the green paper with a marker in a abstract manner....Then decided it needed something special...So I got out Booglie Eyes by Stampin Up colored him and added some black polka dots on his shirt (not sure guys wear polka dots but oh well, lol) to go with the brads and cut Mr. Frank Boo (thats what I named him) out and placed him peeking up from the Boo with a pop dot...Of course I had to add some googlie eyes! A bit of sakura silver stardust pen was added to his bolts on his neck...Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pop Dots!


One of my favorite things to do on a card is cut out part of the image and pop it up on pop dots! If you get a chance head over to the SCS and get in on the CAS Challenge which by the way we have a new CAS Design Team! Congratulations to all of them! And a Big Thanks to the previous team for all the wonderful creations they shared with us...For this weeks challenge its to use my favorite thing...POP DOTS! They give such a wonderful dimension to cards...On the first card I stamped the image twice then cut and popped up the heart to make her look like shes holding it right out there in front of you...On the second card I stamped the image three times and cut and popped up the second image the the teapot on top of that....I really love the look of this green and pink together with the gingham paper so I used it for both cards....Thanks so much for stopping by and for the wonderful comments you leave I really appreciate it more than you know!

25th Wedding Anniversary

I had made a card like this a while back for one of my customers and she called and wanted another one so I thought I would post it and share with you...This cake by Jolees is so detailed!
I started with a white card then added a sage on that to go with the leaves on the cake...Not sure if you can see in the photo but I then put a sheet of printed vellum on that and an embossed vine paper on the bottom...As I tryed different layouts I thought this one kind of looked like a cake sitting on a pretty tableclothed table....I then finished it off with some pretty ribbon and a circle punched layered 25 with a jumper ring attached for some shine...Tip on the vellum....When using vellum on this I didnt want my double back tape to show so I made sure I place it where the cake would cover it up...You really dont have to tape down the corner of the vellum it gives it a neat look with out that...between the tape and the ribbon on the left this keeps it in place...These stickers are so fun to use all you really need to do if come up with a pleasing layout and coordinate your colors and add some pretty papers (Darn I wish I would have tucked the ribbon behind the cake plate on the bottom left before I took the pic, too late I know I am picky, lol)...Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Stylin...

Heres another special request card from one of my customers, she wanted a Hair Stylist on the card for one of her fellow beautiticians...When she told me who is it was for I knew just what to do.
I have two stamps by Stamping Bella, one lady with a brush and scissors and a girl with a blow dryer...So I combined the two by stamping the blower dryer and cutting it out and inserting it into her popped up pocket on her coat...I colored the blow dryer to look like her own personal one (its black and hot pink leopard) a black thread was added to give the effect of the cord...This card was so FUN to make! She is a very stylin girl so I hope she enjoys it, the inside reads "Hope your Birthday is a cut above the rest"...Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a Wonderful Day!
