Teacher Treat

Had to share these. They are wayyyy cuter than I normally stamp, but am pretty proud of them. I had this cute little cookie cutter and then asked a friend to stamp out some images of the cute little girl stamp(Elzybell) I made little matching winter hat cookies to go w/ the cute little girl in her winter hat on the boxes. All Supplies are from TAC except the stamped image.

Horsing Around

Playing w/ the Hieroglyph Horse set again. This one uses our Rustic Chic paper; which I love and kind of forgot about because I've been stuck on our newer papers. The 8x8 packs of paper are great for these longer cards. I cut the paper in half to make a 4x8 and then cut a piece of CS to 8x8 and fold it in half. It's fun to do a different size and a plus is they fit in a regular business size envelope. The HB happy birthday stamp is a free GWP stamp. Again used a Scallop punch we now carry along w/ a few other of the clever lever circle punches and VersaMagic ink. I actually embossed w/ clear embossing powder over the top of the images. Gives the images a little shine and dimension. Ribbon is probably from Michael's.

Thanks for looking annnnnd GO PACK!!!!!

1...2...Cha Cha Cha

I blame the title on my lack of sleep, but this is a 2nd card like the one I did w/ the doodle bugs. There's a goofy story behind it. Short version: I started 1 card, lost it while I was making it so had to make another. Well this is the one I started, lost, and then found. Thought I'd share because I really like the Salsa Flowers set that matches our Cha Cha Paper; which I used along w/ the Cha Cha ribbon. Also used the Ordinary Greetings set that is new in this book. It's exactly what it says-just "ordinary" but covers a lot reasons to make a card or add a nice sentiment in your scrapbook in a fun & quirky font. I think this could become one of my "go to" sets.

Have Faith

This card uses our new Hieroglyph Horses set-which at first I thought they were odd but the more I looked at them noticed these horses really have some fun character to them and are kind of silly. Granted this isn't a silly card, but there's a lot of potential for these guys. Also used Winchester paper and hardware, Floral Dingbats set and the My Spiritual Journey set. The My Spiritual Journey set also has a lot of potential for many different things-I really like the font used in this set; especially w/ the floral dingbats. I had it in my head to use it for some journals for a friend, but I do see where it could be great for cards too. Ok- I started brainstorming other ideas and came up w/ too many annnnnd the kids are home and hungry.

Not a "snob"

I had to show this cuz I love these stamps and I'm not a "stamp snob". I do play w/ stamps from other companies. Here's a card I did w/ one of my favorite types of stamps-Bella's!! I love these stamps! They are fun and sassy. I did use tac's Mia's cottage paper and ribbon, some prima flowers, rhinestones for some "bling". It was also fun to make a bigger square card for something a bit different.

Doodle Bugs

Hey looky-no pink or brown on this card. I had fun with some new stuff that we carry. I started w/ the ChaCha paper w/ matching hardware (not new)-gotta love the big eyelets!! Then used a brand new set that just came into the catalogue Doodle Bugs-not my usual style but I think I'm going to have some fun w/ set. Also used the new glitter pens we carry now(I'm lovin' these bigtime-you can't see it but there's a real pretty shimmer on this cute little guy), mini file tab punch, 2 1/2" scallop punch, Super jumbo circle punch. So I think that's the whole scoop on my criss-cross type card. Oh ya-I even got out the dusty crimper. Have you used yours in awhile??

Treasure It

I love the sentiment in this set-it's so true!
This card uses -yes, pink and brown again. I'm sorry but I'm addicted!
I used Tac's Treasure It stamp set, and Mimi paper w/ the coordinating Mimi Hardware, and some Stickles. I used a water mist technique that I had to use for yet another sketch. You just ink up your stamp and spritz it w/ water and stamp it and you get that messy water color look.
