Happiness is having a little bling!

For the Outlawz Greeting Card Challenge that ends Monday, it is all about the "Bling". I made a card featuring a bird image from The Stamp Pad Co.

I colored the bird and flowers with my copic markers and added bling in the form of huge pink jewels, a bejeweled green paper butterfly, a glittered ribbon sticker at the bottom and the center of each flower is colored with gold Stickles. Oh and there is a pearl in the upper left corner above the "postmark". 

Other stamps used are a flourish stamp from Me and Carrie Lou and a garden verse stamp from Paper Inspirations. My greeting is from GinaK Designs.

Enjoy your weekend!

 

 

Howl at the Moon!

This past week over at the Outlawz Clean and Simple Challenge, our challenge was to  make a card using a "full moon" for our theme. After sorting through quite a few stamps, I came up with this image from the Embossing Arts Company called (appropriately) "Howling Wolf". I've had this stamp for a number of years but don't recall ever using it. That is the nice thing about these challenges. I am using some of my stamps that haven't been used for years or maybe never been used at all!

I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black by Memento onto some yellow-green decorated paper and then used a yellow copic marker to color in the moon and a tan colored copic marker to color the wolf. On Here is my card.

 

Here is the greeting on the inside!

 

 

Easy Christmas Thank You Cards

More snow today! I think we are in a pattern here. Maybe the drought is over!

My card today is a Christmas Thank You card that was so super-simple to make. I stamped my snowflakes in red and green on white cardstock. I trimmed it with a "plaid" stamp from Perfectly Plaid stamp set by Gina K Designs. Then I added the "Many Thanks" sentiment that I cut out with my oval die from Spellbinders. The large red snowflake is from D.O.T.S. (now Close to My Heart Stamps). The other snowflakes were just some stamps from my collection of snowflakes that weren't labeled with a company name. A very simple card and I made a set of 12 in about 10 minutes. I will keep them to use next Christmas!

This card will be entered into the Outlawz Paper Ala Mode Challenge that ends today.

Have a great weekend!!
