More Bear Cuteness????

 Oh, yes! I'm still making thank you cards here, so I am adding this to Reverse Confetti's current Stock Your Stash challenge, which is "thank you". I am a huge fan of Reverse Confetti's critters and I reach for them often. 

Again, the weather here is nasty, so the photo isn't great because I rely on natural light - sorry!


For this cute little 4 Bar card I used a sweet bear from "The Bear Up There" stamp and die set. He is centered on a die cut from the Circle With Twist Tag Confetti Cuts and one from the center of the Large Detailed Circle Frame Confetti Cut that I used on yesterday's card. The perfect sentiment is from So Many Sentiments.

I added some Wink of Stella on the cloud and some Stickles on the stars. Love it!


Thanks for the visit and have a great day,

I Love Bears!

It is Christmas and I'm making some thank you cards. I love bears and Reverse Confetti makes some super-cute ones that i wanted to use.  I happened to see their current Stock Your Stash challenge, which is "thank you". How perfect! So, I decided to dust off my blog and play along.

Sorry that the natural light isn't great - we have a storm brewing and I don't have fancy photo equipment.


This sweet card was made on an inky background (Shaded Lilac and Salvaged patina Distress Inks on Distress Heavyweight Cardstock). I used critters from "Heart Pals", colored with Copics, centered in the Large Detailed Circle Frame Confetti Cuts with a terrific sentiment from "Sentimental Gems" (I adore that mix of great fonts!). A touch of sparkle from Stickles and we are all set!

Thanks for the visit and Happy New Year!

Love - we need it!

 Hi, Bloggin' Buddies! 


Just a quick post today to share these mini slimline cards I made (a total of 12 of them!) to spread a little love around. This world sure needs it, things have gotten so nasty and it is so sad.

For these cards I used a great red rubber stamp from Unity and some copper embossing powder.

After watching so many examples of cards made with colored strips of cardstock, I finally gave it a try. A little frustrating but fun! The layers were cut with the Mini Slimline Essentials by Pinkfresh Sudios.

Have a terrific week and spread the love,

Ah-choo!

Now, I love lilacs, but my allergies sure do not!

Inspired this week by #176 - Love the Way You Lilac


 I used an old unmarked wood-mounted stamp that I picked up some years ago at a used stamp sale.


To keep the design clean and simple I added an embossed white background, a colored mat and a tiny black heat-embossed sentiment by Flora and Fauna.

Thanks for the visit,

Hi, Bloggin' Buddies!

I have followed a carmaker's blog http://icardeveryone.blogspot.com for a couple of years. I think this gal has such great command of design and color - I just adore almost every card she posts. I often comment on her blog and she has continually encouraged me to share what I make. Thanks, Michelle!

This is for the Waffle Flower Link party: May 2012 Week 3 challenge which is "Travel Around the World". I love the stamp sets by Kamo and I have several. For this I used a piece of handmade paper I've been hoarding for years, the Waffle Flower Ni Hao set, Copic markers and gold embossing powder. 



I used some gold cardstock and decorated the matching envelope with some red washi tape. This was worth dusting off my blog to share.

Thanks for the visit,
