DonaldDuck

 

My nephew, Michael, is turning 18! Wow how time flies! He loves Donald Duck, so I used one of my stickers from my local craft store. It's 3D, so pretty cool in person.

I used the sentiment from 'Picture Perfect Birthday' stamp set. The colors I used are Donald Ducks colors of Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight!

Thanks for taking a look!

Stamp Set - Picture Perfect Birthday

Here's A Home

 

With family members moving, one needs a good stamp set that can be used many different times, but still have unique card designs. With the 'Coming Home' stamp set and it's coordinating 'Home Together' dies you can achieve this! This has got to be my 4th card using this bundle.

Now, I did find a cute card, found on Pinterest, so wanted to create my own. Changing the colors and a bit of the layout... I've made it my own, but wanted to give credit to the person who created this lovely card! Thanks!

Alphabet Home

 

I liked the idea of Cathy's card where you use the home for the 'O' in the word HOME. Thanks for your inspiration. I made the card my own by using different letters and home stamp.

I designed the letters within My Memories Suite digital software. I did measure the spacing to make sure I had enough room for my home die-cut shape. The Stamp Set is 'Coming Home' and it coordinates with the 'Home Together' dies.

I colored in the image using my Stampin' Blends and used a dimensional to make the home 'pop' off the card.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Delicate Year

 

Working with the Sale-A-Bration 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set, I wanted to create a card only using the smaller flower within that set. Here's what I came up with. I used my favorite color combo for fall - Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler. I added Granny Apple Green and Early Espresso to round the colors out.

Narelle Farrugia is a very talented artist! I love her cards... this is another one that I simply had to create from what she inspired! Thanks Narelle!  Now... as you can see... I did change a few things to make it my own, but the general layout/placement is all Narelle!

Delicate Perfection

 

As I was perusing the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (August-September 2021), I saw this gem with only using the leaves from the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set. I changed a few things up to make the card my own, but the general inspiration was all Stampin' Up!'s. 

The intricate die-cut is so easy to adhere to the card using adhesive sheets. The process is this: Choose your cardstock and cut it down to the size you need. Next, take a piece of the adhesive sheet and pulling off the covering on one side (strips-side).... attach it to the cardstock you want to die-cut. Next die-cut the piece as you normally do (just place the adhesive side on the bottom). After die-cutting, peel the other side of the adhesive and adhere to your cardstock base.

The coloring of the images was done using Stampin' Blends markers. I stamped the leaves in Evening Evergreen and then colored them in using Soft Succulent.

Halloween Hoot

 

Okay, so I saw Tina's card on Pinterest - from TinasCraftyInSpot.com.  She, in turn, CASed it from M.Robinson Design. It had to be a good one if a few people are creating it - right! This was a labor of LOVE for sure... line up the stamps to go within the windows. Coloring in the images with Stampin' Blends... and then die-cutting them out. Hope my niece adores it!

For the background, instead of sponging like Tina did... I used the 'Oh, So Ombre' DSP. Cool - huh!

Thanks for hooting by!

Little Home

 

When I saw this cute card on Pinterest, I knew I had to create one of my own using the colors I know my best friend would love! She's a fan of pink... and she just moved into a new home! Congratulations to Dawn and her Mom, Kathy (my second Mom).

As you can see I changed many things to make the card my own, but wanted to share where/who I got inspiration from.

Gorgeous Fox

 

My niece loves animals... wolves in particular, but I didn't have a wolf stamp, so found this cute set that has been retired for a bit. I decided to pair it with the 'Woodland Textures' Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). The sentiment is from the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set.

Turtle Baby

 

My niece and nephew-in-law are having a baby girl in December.  As I try to incorporate people's likes/ dislikes within the cards I make for them, I know Tori doesn't care for the color pink. I DO know that she loves green and turtles, so this stamp set 'Turtle Friends' is perfect for her.

Layered Hugs

 

My Sister-in-law is in the hospital for Pancreatitis... she says the pain is unbearable. I hope and pray the inflammation and pain subside, and she returns to her normal happy self. I created this card to hopefully cheer her and give her the courage needed to get through this episode.

True Love

 

Thanks so much for your inspiration Laura Milligan... I designed a card using the 'True Love' DSP (even the flowers are the DSP not a stamp). I changed mine up a bit to make it my own.

I used Watercolor pencils and an AquaPainter to color in the flowers and leaves. I let it completely dry before attaching it to the card. Also... I added a touch of 'Wink of Stella' to the petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Candy Corn

 

My 2 year old niece Boo'd our home yesterday. What is being Boo'd? Well, it's when neighbor's, friend's or family stop over your home and secretly leave a gift at your door. Well, as she is 2... she placed the bag outside our door and knocked and hid around the door. When I opened the door.... she popped out and said "BOO". LOL! So cute! She's an adorable little angel.

I wanted to show my appreciation for her lovely gift ( of Halloween cookies - Frankenstein and a Ghost, a Halloween spatula, and some star cookie cutters) with this cute 'Thank You' card for her.

The Candy Corn outline I found online. I just printed it out on Basic White cardstock and colored the image in using Stampin' Blends markers. The face is drawn by hand with my Stampin' Write markers. I added a "Wink of Stella" to the whole image to make it sparkle. Although.... it did smear the eyes a bit. Still cute!

Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Halloween!

Elegantly Tropical

 

For my hubby on our 19th wedding anniversary! I would be so lost without you in my world! I love you! Since we've decided NOT to go to Hawaii this year for our anniversary.... I thought I'd bring a little tropical feel to us here at home.

Thanks for celebrating with us!

Daisy Moments

 

With Designer Series Paper, a card can come together rather quickly. Here, I've paired the 'Delightful Daisy' DSP with the 'Peaceful Moments' stamp set to create this lovely card for my sister-in-law.

I used the 'Stitched Nested Labels' dies for the sentiment piece, but cut the end off of one side to create the look you see here.

Sailing Friends

 

When I saw Cheryl's card.... I just knew I had to create one for myself. Thanks Cheryl for your wonderful inspiration! Not sure how you achieved the background piece... I tried using the Stamparatus, but couldn't get the rope to line up very well. Maybe I should have used the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I did the best I could with what I had to work with.

The background piece is created by using the rope stamp from the 'Sailing Home' set multiple times with Soft Suede and Misty Moonlight ink.

Thanks so much for looking!
