Dragon Mail Box



My last mailbox for now. This one was done using the Indie Art cartridge with this neat dragon! This is for a "teen" family member. The same K&Co Valentine's paper (from last year) and carstock from my stash. I used the apron edge punch from fiskars and all the ribbon (along the lid edges and the flag) are from my stash. The flag was punched using a SU scallop square punch. Hope you enjoy it!

Hello Kitty Mailbox




Today's mailbox is for a friend. I thought these Hello Kitty(s) were cute and Valentine-y, so I used them. PP is the same K&Co from last year. Ribbon along the edges is from last years Taget $1 spot as is the white mailbox. Various cardstock from my stash and sheer ribbons on the flag stem. Used my SU scallop square for the flag too. Let me know what you think!

Tinkerbell Mailbox




I created this for a family member who likes Tinkerbell. I was happy with the way it came out. I used one of the $1 spot mailboxes from Target (it was white). I used K&Co Valentine's pp (from last year) and various carstock from my stash. The ribbon along the edges of the front & back is also from the $1 spot at Target (last year). I used sheer ribbons & prima roses around the flag and a SU scallop square to punch the paper for the flag. I used my Tinkerbell cartridge for my cricut for all the paper piecings. Stayed tuned for more mailboxes to come!

Sketch Saturday #87


Hi again! I managed to get several challenge cards done this week. Today's card is from this past weekend's Sketch Saturday. I liked this sketch a lot - it gave me a lot to play with. Pretty much everything I used on this card was taken out of stash - all the papers were already things I'd used and had a piece left of - so I can't really even tell you where they are from (sorry). I was glad to use up some stuff, though. The stamp was a freebie I got from somewhere, so even that I don't know what it is. I colored the bunny with copics and used a little diamond glaze for the eyes. I used an MS punch for the scallop and the sentiment is CTMH. Enjoy!

MMSC#38


Todays card I made for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #38. I liked this sketch a lot & had a hard time choosing a stamp to use to base this on. I'm happy with the results. Colored my image with copics. PP is Basic Grey and Cardstock is SU. I inked the edges of the inside circle and used Primas and pearls for the flowers/jewels. Hope you enjoy!

Mojo Monday 123



Sorry I haven't posted in a while - life gets in the way a lot!

Today is this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I really liked this challenge because you had the choice of doing a round or a square card. I have not done a round card like this before, so I thought it would be fun.

My pp is DCWV sweet stack (the blue on the left side with the cupcakes). Cardstock is CTMH and I used a cute stamp set I got from AC Moore. Colored the cupcake in with copics, stickled the frosting, and covered it in a layer of Diamond Glaze (I was only planning to put glaze on the cherry, but the bottle had other ideas). The edges of the white cardstock was also inked in light blue (it's hard to see from this picture). I cut all the circles & scallop circles out with my nesties. The ribbon & brad were just from my stash.

Hope you enjoy today's card!

Printed Image


Hi there! I promised a cute card for today & I sure hope this delivers. I was really happy with it minus one thing - this is a printed image - and I did have some smearing from the black ink into my image (esp on her face), so I was not totally thrilled with that, but I love this Tilda so much - I just had to use her!

I used a sketch from the Midnight Madness Challenge 36 - which ended on 1/18 - so it doesn't qualify for the challenge, but I really liked the sketch. You can see it here:

I used the typical K&Co Valentine Stack pp from last year & cardstock from my stash. Tilda was colored in with copics, and I used my heart nesties to cut the hearts she is sitting on. The sentiment is actually a $1 stamp I found at Michael's recently - I think it's a cute one! And the price can't be beat!

Hope you enjoyed the card!
