Just wanted to pop in really quick with a birthday card I made recently. It seems like all my friends have birthdays in May and June, so I needed to stock up. :)
Did you guys notice that I have bigger pictures now? What do you think? While I like consistency, I do like the ability to see cards larger (when I view other blogs), so I thought I’d bring it to my blog. Let me know if you like it!
I have some fun news to share with you- I’m the guest designer over at the Simply Scrapping Color Challenge! DeNami Design is sponsoring and all of the girls on that DT got some DeNami goodies to play with! Be sure to check out the site to see their cute samples!
Here is the inspiration photo and the colors:
With the owls in the photo, I just had to bring out the Owl Trio stamp. I just love this stamp so I always enjoy bringing them out. :) I also thought I’d bring out the Small Congratulations. I always seem to need congrats card, so this will be a great one to have on hand.
I hope you all will check out this super great challenge. The winner is chosen at random, so anyone has a chance to win! Also, if your project really inspires the DT, they just might ask you to be a guest designer. Isn’t that fun? So….you have a chance to win a DeNami gift certificate (as a prize) THEN you also might be able to be a guest designer!
Wanted to pop in really quick and share the card I created for the Color Cue #15. These aren’t colors I would have ever thought to put together, which was fun. Don’t you love going outside your “comfort zone”?
I pulled out the Filigreed Frames and Woodgrain Silhouettes sets for this card- I thought they worked together really well!
Did you notice the patterned paper on the butterflies? Yet another one I recently purchased. :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some love today! {{hugs}}
I have a confession to make…..I recently have been buying patterned papers. Lots and lots of papers. (gasp!) I usually can stay away from them, since I like to stamp my own, but there have been so many cute ones coming out lately! Today I’m featuring a paper line from My Minds Eye: Lime Twist. This particular pack is called Life of the Party. LOVE it! (This was the first time I purchased from i Heart Papers and their service was awesome!)
I thought this polka dot paper worked really well with the Shopping Gals and Let’s Get Together stamp set by DeNami Design. I had a ton of fun coloring these girls with my Copics. :)
Since we are looking at girls shopping…..do you like to shop for crafty things? Are you in Washington state? If so, I got some GREAT news for you! DeNami Design is having their second warehouse sale THIS Saturday. There is going to be lots of gently used stamps, cardstocks by the pound, scrapbook papers, markers and ink pads and much, much more.
I’m going to be working at the register, so if you go, you’ll get to see me! :) Oh, and did I mention there is going to be tons of GREAT sales? You’ll definitely want to make it out there if you can!
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll talk with you all later!
Wow, is it Saturday already?! It’s quite sad….I made this card a week ago, and am just now getting to post it. Amazing how a week can go by that quickly!
This card was based off of Heather’s gorgeous Totally Hues Challenge #7. These colors are so lovely together!
I pulled out my WPlus9 set, Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions, for the focal image. I just can’t get enough of this stamp! It’s the perfect size, and works for all sorts of cards!
Here you can see I added some Mossy Green rhinestones to the leaf image. It adds a little extra texture and sparkle, which I love. Also, I added some light pink pearls to my butterfly die cut. I tell you, it’s the little things that make a card look complete!
Hope you enjoyed today’s card. Have a great rest of you day!
Today I have a card to share with you all! If you follow the DeNami blog, you may have seen that we are featuring the Giraffe stamp this week. I just adore this little stamp- it’s great for so many occasions. Most may use him (or her) for baby cards, but it’s also great for thinking of you cards. Can you imagine getting this little cutie in the mail? It would definitely bring a smile to my face!
Here’s what I made with the cutie pie:
I recently have been infatuated with all things nautical. It just might have to do with the fact that DeNami released some super cute images. *wink* Anyways, I created a nautical card with these colors, and decided to play with them again for this card. (You can view my nautical card in these colors on today’s DeNami blog post.)
Here’s the close up of the Giraffes. For the bottom portion of the card, I pulled out the following:

Well, that’s all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
It’s been a rough day, so I’m going to keep this fairly short.
I don’t know about you, but one thing I DO love about Spring- trees and flowers are in full bloom. Granted, that’s why my allergies are in full swing, but the flowers are so beautiful. After being inspired by a card Nami created here, I decided to make my own blooming tree.
Here’s my take:
I adore this color combo- think I should make another card with these colors soon. :) Here’s the DeNami stamps I used on this card:
I am so bummed. I had wanted to submit this card for the CAS-ual Friday’s challenge, but my darn computer at home has been giving me problems. I can’t log onto the internet and it won’t read photos from my camera! Everything I need to get photos ONTO my blog. Oh well….
It’s my little brother’s birthday next week, and I thought I’d make him a card featuring the Friendly Robot. It was so fun to come up with words that worked into his personality!
I wish you all could meet my brother- he is such a hoot! He is always making us laugh, and he is a sweetie pie. (Don’t tell him I said that though!) Whenever anyone is sick in our family, he’s always the one to check on them, and offer them food, drinks, etc….
Hope you enjoyed today’s card! Talk with you all soon….
Today I have a fun lil miss you card to share with you. I got the Lawn Fawn: Critters in the Forest set a while back, but haven’t gotten to play around with it much. I think this raccoon is super adorable, so I just HAD to create a card with him as the focal point.
I brought out some patterned paper again for this card. I must say, now I’ve been eying some other cute paper packs. However, I’m going to try to hold off for as long as possible….MUST. STOP. SPENDING. MONEY!
Did you notice the cute rainbow? I used the DeNami Rainbow stamp, which is one of my favorites. It’s so fun to color, and you can use it with tons of different stamps. (Also, right now until Saturday, there is a 10% coupon code. All you need to do is sign up for the InTouch newsletter here!)
If you haven’t hopped along in the DeNami Girlie Girl Blog Hop yet, be sure to do so tonight. Tomorrow we’re announcing the THREE $20 gift certificate winners- you could be one of them!
I am so excited about the DeNami Blog Hop today! I’m such a girlie girl and I knew eventually I would do a blog hop with this theme. I figured, May (with Mother’s Day) would be the perfect month for it!
If you started from the beginning of the hop, you should be coming from Pattie Goldman’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can head back to the DeNami blog for the complete list of participants.
I had originally thought that I was going to do a purses and shoes card, but I saw the Graduation Owl in the drawer and couldn’t help but use it. This stamp is great for both girls and boys- however, it’s always more fun to make cards girlie!
I went to the extremes for this girlie card- I pulled out ribbons, buttons, scallops, glitter, a doily, polka dots AND two shades of pink. Don’t know if it could get any more girlie!
Did you notice the glittery frame? I just colored the frame with my marker for the outline, then used my Quickie Glue Pen and Magenta glitter. (I also added glitter to the cap and diploma)
The next stop on the hop is: Ruby McGuire! Be sure to leave comments on each blog hop stop- we’re giving away two $20 gift certificates to random commenters, so one of them could be YOU!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love. Have fun hopping along!
