Butterflies and Happiness


The butterfly is a stamp by Stampendous. I watercolored the stamp in using an aquapainter and ink pads.

The pearls are actually pink and adhered with E6000 glue.

The Happiness stamp is by Stampin' Up (Happy Harmony)

I think the paper is by Creative Imaginations, but it's definitely Karen Russell's line.

It's A Boy!!!!


I created this baby shower card for a co-worker who is having a little boy.

The baby carriage was cut out using the New Arrival cartridge and my cricut machine.

Small pearls were added to the wheels and lace was added to the edge of the buggy.

The white background is actually stamped using silver ink and a stamp by Stampin' Up (French Script)

Prom Night


My little cousin is going to Jr. Prom! Her mom asked me to make some invitations for the event, and I wanted to be sure to incorporate pink and polka dots since my little cousin loves it!


The stamp is "Dawn Houser" Inkdinkado purchased at Michael's.


I used black embossing powder to and versa mark ink to emboss the dress.


The dress is water colored in using a SU stamp pad and an aqua painter.


A circle punch or the cricut machine can be used to cut out the circles.

Pink Cake Stand


The cake stamp is by Stampin' Up (Parlez-Vous Francais?) The "Cherish" stamp is also by SU (Warm Words).


I used my scallop punch (corner adorner) to scallop the edge of the striped paper.


An oval scallop punch was used to create the backing layer behind the cake.


Pearl studs were also glued along the edge of the card.

Cupcake


This cupcake stamp was a steal for $1 at Michael's.


I used a heat embossing technique with glitter embossing powder for the iridescent effect.


I stamped the entire image with Versa Mark, then embossed it.


A round scallop punch was used for the round scallop paper.


The hot pink paper is actually vellum.

Bella: Breast Cancer Awareness


I created a breast cancer awareness card for mother's day. It is for a survivor of breast cancer who is a strong willed mother.

The stamp is a bella stamp: http://www.stampingbella.com/. I love this stamp because it can be used to express awareness and support for a variety of reasons based on color. A yellow ribbon would support our troops etc. I used watercolor crayons, and ink pads by SU to color the image .

The wavy paper was cut out using the wavy paper trimmer by creative memories. I also added stickles to the awareness ribbon, which barely shows up in the picture.

The ribbon is just a piece of tulle that was wrapped around the cardstock and tied into a bow.

The edges of the card were scalloped using a corner adorner by EK Success and then embellished with rhinestones.

The inside of the card is embellished with prima flowers.
