I don’t have a new card to share today but I pulled this Happy Easter card out of the “archives”… So cute!
We’re enjoying the weather in IA… 6 of the grands here to play yesterday afternoon… so fun! A couple of the girls and I cut scrap paper into useable sizes part of the time… fun to see that paper stack up. Now if I could just get that card finished that I started last week! ugh! I keep moving it out of the way to do something else! lol
Take care and ttul!
It’s a dark chocolate cuppy cake kind of day! My card for the reminder post over on the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge blog. The challenge going on right now is a color challenge.. Blue, Brown and Tan. I really meant for this to be a true blue card but the new Farmhouse 8×8 pattern paper pad was hogging my desktop, crying for use, so I went with it. Ugh! So my card is “kinda blue”! Rolling my eyes…@@ At least I got the brown right and kraft is tan, isn’t it? Today it is the new tan!!! lol Head over and create for a chance to win!
The half doily is cut from one of the pieces of pattern paper in the pad. Hug Snug ribbon dyed with a Walnut Stain distress stain. All the pieces are edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. Instead of messing with thread for the buttonholes, I cut a sliver of card-stock to thread the button with… glue it on the back… slick.
The cupcake die is so cool…the bottom embosses, I used a little copic marker from the bottom up on the cupcake paper… Y28… the dark chocolate is enhanced with E40, 44,47,49. I tried vintage shard glass glitter on the top but just didn’t like it w/the more old fashioned feel of the papers so took it off and colored it and added the button instead! The cupcake logo is stamped on a piece of the paper from the pad too.
I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog HERE…
So that’s my bit of shabby chic for today. Wish it was healthy to eat these things for breakfast, lunch and supper! Hey, just stick a carrot in the top! Carrots make everything healthy, right?! ha! oh that reminds me of the broccoli ATC I made for a friend one year… it was a picture of a broccoli cake! She hates broccoli! lol
I found the picture of it…hahaha… well, I think it’s funny anyway! lol
ok – I’ll shut up and finish…
Stamps and Such…

A fun card I made for a wedding yesterday… houndstooth stamp from Stampers Anonymous U4-1043, S5264 Antique flower background from Hero Arts, J180 Mr. & Mrs. from Stampendous. On the inside I used F121 Lifetime Love from Stampendous and F5243 Elegant Brocade from Hero Arts. Bummer I forgot to photograph the inside! ugh! I used Spellbinders Labels 20 dies for the frame.
Linking my card to 365 Cards Challenge blog, theme for the day is sophisticated… to the Secret Crafter Challenge blog, theme is white and one other color and to the Lily Pad Challenge blog, theme is bling.
Thanks for stopping by! ttul! oh, Here’s a link for the latest sale info…looks like a great Sale!
Birthday time! G-daughter Lizzie Faith had a Snow White birthday party Sunday. So sweet! Aunt “Colors” made her a Snow White dress that was out of this world beautiful! Lizzie Faith loves it!
Here’s a picture of the party set up… Breanna, Lizzie Faith’s mom…she did the Green Lantern party awhile back for her 1 yr old and I showed a Green Lantern Edwin card.
So pretty with red roses and red apples!
A close up of Tilda…
She is stamped on Beckett Expression Super smooth 80# card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut out and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Lizzie Faith insisted on having strips of red in the sleeve… so I just tried to please her! : ) I can’t remember what colors I used. Punches are from the Punch Bunch.
I was inspired by Kittie’s frame cards – her tutorial is HERE! Lovely cards on her blog!
I’m linking Tilda up to a couple challenges…
Hanna and Friends challenge blog – anything goes
Wee Memories challenge blog – no pattern paper
Hope you’ve had a stamping great week! I cannot believe it’s late Thursday afternoon already! eek! Thanks for stopping by! ttul!
