Wasabi thank you

Good morning. Fortunes of Fall stamp set sure keeps coming to my table lately. The images in the set are just perfect and I haven't even touched the corn image yet. Ack.... Anyways, this is a quick thank you card and I actually used this Wasabi tape I found at the local store. I like the give thanks it say and that it was blue. :-)


I used some designer paper down the left side and added the Wasabi tape at the edge. Also to the inside to match the front. Pierced around my image panel and added to the front. A few enamel dots and my sentiments to finish it off. Voila! Thanks for stopping by today.

October Christmas Challenge

Good morning! Today is the 1st and that means the new Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge is posted up over on the SCS forum found HERE. These next few months of challenges are helping us finish out the years Christmas cards. Hopefully you have been playing along all year, if not now is the time to join us.  


Yep had to use another snowman for my card. We are getting closer to December and I like to ink up most all my snowmen each year. I got two new ones this weekend too. yippee! This is a digital one  from Sassy Cheryls called Just Chillin. Colored with various Copic markers and layered with designer papers and solid colors. Die cut a heart edge for the panel across and a few die cut snowflakes. Added sequins and some sparkles to finish it off. Voila!

Fall bountiful bouquet

Happy Friday! Oh my word... Can you believe that we only have 3 months left to 2018? The time where did it go this year?!?!?  Lots going on these last 3 months and then guess what, the new year will be here. ACK!!! Moving on....  How about a card? This is a fall creation using Bountiful Bouquet.


This is a sketch that I will be using again as I like how this turned out. Actually had embossed this background the wrong direction but I like it. That is what I get for talking and stamping at the same time. HA!  Anyways, stamped the sentiment at the bottom and added a few sequins accents and sparkle to the blooms. Voila!

Go get'em Fortunes of Fall

Wow!  I think I went a bit much on the vibrant colors for this card. This is Fortunes of Fall stamp set from Power Poppy. My card was actually meant for a different direction but I didn't like the layout after the fact so I ended up this way. Fun designer paper was my color inspiration with the focus on the orange obviously.  :-)


Colored with Copic markers and a simple scored border around the edge. A few jewels for accents and a metal swirly clip that I have had for AGES. Boy I sure to hold onto things forever or I just plain order too much. Anyways... A simple vibrant note card, voila! Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday dad

Good morning! Hopefully you had a great weekend. Besides the boys beating a team in Football that they have NEVER beaten before in the school history, I got to stamp a little bit. Win win for everyone.  :-)  Curtis and Nathan's stats from the game were AWESOME! Oh my word they are playing so good. The team is playing hard this year and it shows. Anyways, you didn't come to hear about how great they are did you? hee hee   


This fun guy is from Sassy Cheryl's called All About Dad. Isn't he a hoot? After he was printed I colored him with Copic markers and die cut with a retired tag shape. Used scraps of designer paper for the background and my color choices. Die cut some balloons and my birthday sentiment. Voila! Thanks for stopping by.

Hoppy Birthday

Happy Friday! Lots going on over at Power Poppy. Check out the Power and Spark challenge this month for a chance to win. Also the Creative Confetti challenge each Tuesday might peak your interest. Not to mention our newest release Natural Wonders is a HIT!  Actually used the O Hoppy Day for my creation today. 



This is rather easy peasy which was perfect for the card I needed. Stamped the hops to the right and colored with Copic markers.  used a little bit of maroon on the wheat/barley to bring in the hounds tooth designer paper in the background. The sentiments looked so nice tucked beside the hops on the sheet that I kept with that on the card front, just spaced them out a little bit. Wrapped some twine around the bottom and voila! See easy peasy.

Check out the Bloom Brigades creations today:
