WHAT'S SUP?

Just wanted to share this card I made for a previous VSN.  Did you know I love hot air balloons?

Happy Friday!



SPRING FEVAH...

This is for those of you suffering from spring fever....

hope you Get Well Soon!!

So Glad We're Friends..

I saw my first bumblebee of the season the other day.  It was so beezy just buzzing around the garage.  Seems to be a place where they like to hover. Did I mention it was huge!  I like bees, just not when they hover around the garage and divebomb me whenever I try to walk outside.  I think he was trying to tell me that it is Spring.  When did that happen?  I feel like I'm still anticipating snow.  It has been the Winter that never was.

So, in light of the warmer days, I thought I would share this card that I made using my cute little bee stamp by Stampendous.  It is great for clean and simple cards.  I used a corner rounder only on the top corners and a simple strip of fringed designer paper across the bottom. To finish it off, I added a polka dot trail behind each bee with a black pen.

I guess I need to get outside and clean the flower bed, but secretly, I'm still praying for one more snow...

TIME TO BLOOM

I made this card for one of the VSN Challenges:  Rolled Flowers.  I thought they were reallh hard to make.  I stamped the stem shilouettes in black, then used some new dp that I bought for the flowers.  I added bling to the centers and ribbon across the bottom.  Last, I stamped the sentiment.

You can find the tutorial for Rolled Flowers HERE.

Thanks for stopping by.

BECAUSE I CARE..

This past weekend, Splitcoast Stampers hosted the Spring Virtual Stamp Night (VSN).  There were challenges posted hourly during the hours of play and you only get 45 minutes to complete your card.  That is why many of my cards are of the clean and simple variety.  Not to mention is pushes me to do something different. 

This card is for a challenge to make a Sympathy card, and it features one of my favorite SU! sets.  I use a technique I call shadow stamping.  Not sure if that is the correct term.  Basically you ink up your image, stamp it, lift one side slightly while one part of the image remains in contact with the paper, move the stamp slightly to the left or right, then repeat.  Each time the image is slightly lighter and all of the stems connect at the bottom.  I added some bling to the center of the darkest flowers and used my nestabilities.  Then added a heart charm with some silver twine.

Thanks for looking...

VSN: I still {heart} you!

I made this card for one of the VSN Challenges: to use a heart or the word love on your card.  This stamp is from an SU! stamp set that I bought and never really inked up.  The paper is DCWV.
Thanks for looking.

Time for another VSN over on Splitcoast.  Hope you'll join us!  Starts at 5pm!
