Ladybug Card

I am so glad I actually had a few minutes to craft last night!  I created this card for a baby shower I’m going to TODAY!  I have several baby cards in my stash, but I wanted to create a ladybug card since the baby’s room has a ladybug theme!  I used a ladybug from Create a Critter and colored it with patterns from Better Together.  The card base is Stampin’ Up Daffodil Delight and the pattern paper in the background is Bella Blvd.  The stamps are from Stampin’ Up’s Fabulous Phrases.  

Let me know what you think!  God Bless!

Versa Mark Ink Project

For today’s post, I made a card with a Versa Mark Stamp pad.  I have had this stamp pad for years…the same one has  lasted this long!  If you are a rubber stamper I think it’s a must have!  I used a Stampin’ Up wheel to make the background for the card, and then a larger, matching stamp for the center. 

The phrase is also Stampin’ Up, it’s from the Swirly Verses set.  So, as you can see in the picture, the Versa Mark ink creates a watermark affect on the paper.  One of my favorite parts of using this ink is that you don’t have to worry about having a certain color ink, it always matches!  In the example, you can see I used light paper and dark paper and both work wonderfully!  Here’s a close up!  Hope you are inspired and God Bless!

Give Credit Where Credit's Due...

I received a Stampin Up catalog a few months ago and I absolutely loved one of the cards on the cover.  After sitting and staring at it a number of times and asking my Stampin Up consultant how it was created, I made my version.  I totally give all credit to Stampin Up, I didn't use their products (only because I didn't have what I needed!!), but I totally used their design!  So, be inspired, but always give credit where credit is due!!! : )   P.S.  If you would like to order Stampin Up, I'll be having a book party in January.  You can view their catalog online through the Stampin Up website. 

First, I cut the bracket shape out using the Cricut and SCAL.  I glued strips of scrap paper to the shape.  I cut around the strips with an exacto knife.  Second, I cut the same shap out, only smaller and glued it to the middle.  I printed the word "friend" out on the computer and cut it apart then glued it haphazardly.  I stampted a a flower from some misc. stamps I had and colored with pastels.  I added some bling with the blue jewels.

This is the greeting inside.  It is from a stamp set from PaperTrey Ink called "Signature Greetings".
