Smart nieces

Two of my nieces won Student of the Month at their prospective schools for Feb, so I made them each a card.

Ahhh, the joys of being Irish

I love Ireland. I love being of Irish heritage. I, in turn, LOVE St. Patrick's Day!!!

Here are a few cards I made to send out to some friends to help celebrate. I used a variety of stamps, papers and die cuts. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask. (Please note the coloring on the barmaid is hideous. I used old, cheap markers, but have since bought a set of Bic Mark-its, which were way closer to my budget than the oh-so-coveted Copics.)

Hospitals are for attention!!!

I made this card for my neighbor's mom, who was undergoing rotator cuff surgery. She is the lovely lady who made my jammies for me this past Christmas. She's such a light-hearted and fun-to-be-around woman, that I felt this card was perfect!



The inside reads: Boy, what some people will do for attention.

Justin's birthday card

I had A LOT of help on this one. 3 of my nieces, ages 5-10, helped on the colors, layout and positioning of this card. It's for their cousin, Justin. I used CB candy cane folder to emboss the red mirror card, Anya stamped image, nesties for that image and George & Basic Shapes for "Hey Justin".
Sorry for the stinky pic---hubby has the camera and I had to scan it. :D
We had fun!!!

It's great to be Irish!!!

And so starts my St. Patrick's Day cards. I made the card base in SCAL and used Nesties on top then inked around the edges. It's nothing too fancy pants. I'm
just warming up!!!

Hubster's V-Day card

I couldn't post beforehand, cos he would peek!!!
Used SCAL for card cut and heart cuts. Also used CB Swiss Dots for embossing.

Heart Day Cards!!!

Here are some various Valentine's Day cards that I have made for myself and then some for my sister to pass around. I'll try to remember to post the stuff I used for each one.

FYI--after reviewing the post, I noticed the descriptions don't match up to the pictures and I don't know how to fix that, so sorry!!!


For this one, I used a Fiskars plate for the hearts, computer generated sentiment and then a tiny bit of bling.


For this one, I used CB 2x2 embossing folders, computer sentiment, ribbon from my stash and a bit of bling.


This card follows the same pattern, only I used Sizzix 2x2 embossing folders.



I love this little bunny From Studio G


I used one of the new CB folders from HSN for the background on this card and then ribbon from my stash.


This is my first joy fold card. I don't remember what I used to be honest!!





Tho you can't see it very well, the sentiment reads "para ti" and it's from SU. I heat embossing it with powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle. I used some bling and a CB folder for the dotted embossing. Looks really pretty IRL.


I used a CB folder for the embossing in the middle and everything else was from my stash. I don't recall what stamp it was.


And lastly, I used a new stamp from a set I got from The Angel Company and used bling and flowers from my stash.




I have a few more to do tomorrow, but I'm pretty tuckered tonight. Thanks for stopping by!!!
