Stamp Something "Bugs, Butterflies and things with wings"

Be Still

Hello my friends and Happy Thursday. Is the weather crazy where you are at? Here, it is super windy!! kinda scary to be honest. I spent part of my day coloring with DD, animals, princesses, flowers, you name it, she has them all, LOL. Of course I wanted to make cards , but this time coloring together was so much fun, she tried to copy my coloring techniques!! she is doing great, of course she is only 5. She always says her daddy doesn't know how to color, that makes me laugh any time I hear that.

Anyway, today I made a card using the sketch from Card Patterns. I started my card with a piece of Kraft (SU), then I cut a piece of Tan Parchment (The Paper Company), stitched and distressed around. I used scraps of Real Red, Kiwi Kiss and Naturals (all SU), this is a good way to use all your little pieces. The stamp is from Verve, the butterfly punch is from MS and the ribbon is from The Paper Studio.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Kraft, Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, White (SU), Tan Parchment (The Paper Company).
Stamps: Psalm 46:10 Verve Stamps.
Ink: Gold (Sponging), Real Red.
Embellishments: Gingham Red (The Paper Studio), Rhinestones (Making Memories), MS Butterfly.
Accessories: Sewing machine, thread, 3D-foam (EK-Success), Mini glue dots, Diamond Glaze, sponges.

I hope you like it.
Have a great and blessed day.

I thought of you today

Hello my friends, I hope you are having a great day. I am pretty much enjoying summer time. Today we are hitting 102 F!! It is hot here. This morning I decided to mow the lawn and I ended up like a tomato, LOL. During my mowing adventure (the pushing/walking mower) I saw something bouncing around, I got curious and I found out it was a mouse, yikes!!! I am super scared of mice, yeap, may sound funny, but I don't like those critters. I let him ran away and I finished my job. Now, my back yard looks much better, :) :) We have weeds to pull, but any other day, too hot to work outside.

Anyway, today I have a shiny card for you. I played the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. I decided to go Monochromatic, I think my card turned out really pretty. I used Natural CS (SU) and stamped the images using White Craft Ink and then applied Gold Embossing powder. After that I cut it in 4 squares and sewed them onto another piece of Naturals CS. I attached some Green Lime Ribbon. The sentiment was stamped in Basic Brown Ink.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Naturals (SU).
Stamps:Cookie Plate: Botanical.
Ink: White Craft. Basic Brown. Pistachio and Gold ( sponging)
Embellishments: Green Lime Satin Ribbon (Offray), Green Rhinestones (Kaiser Crafts)
Accessories: Sewing machine, Sponges. stamp-a-ma-jig, embossing gun, Mini glue dots, SU Dimensionals.

You are on my mind.

Hello my friends, I am back!! I stamped today and that feels great. The only problem I had is that when I tried to make my post my computer decided not to cooperate, argghhh, so I decided to go and cook dinner and try it later. Anyway, I stamped a quick and clean card today. I started my card with Pink Pirouette CS, a piece of Real Red and White. I stamped the tulip frame on White CS using Real Red ink. The sentiment was stamped in Mellow Moss. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position the sentiment in the right place. After that, I sponged the borders and positioned onto the Red CS and stitched together. I stamped the tulip in a scrap piece of paper, colored , cut it out and positioned it on the main image.
I based my card design on Heather's 0z-some sketch

The stamps I used are from smARTworks Tulip Square Set, ON SALE right now!! 40% off! (I just checked the sold out list and this set is not there :) awesome!! If you would like to purchase this set based on my creation, don't forget to mention my name to Susan, thanks!!

The kids didn't want to get out of the pool and I wanted to jump there , LOL.
Yesterday, I was so tired, we went to church, then some grocery shopping, ate lunch and a nap time. Can you believe I nap for almost 3 hours?!?!?! I am not a nap person, but my body was exhausted. I was planning to post this card yesterday, but I just wanted to enjoy my family and watch TV.
SO here is the card I made for 2 challenges: Sketch from Heather's Oz-somestamps Blog and Dawn's Raspberry Color challenge from My favorite things blog.
For my card I used Journey Set from smARTworks. The image was stamped in White CS and colored it whith Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. Everything else is pretty much self-explanatory.

Card Recipe:

Card stock: Real Red, Gray, White, Pink Passion.

Stamps: Journey (smARTworks)

Ink: Stazon Black, Pistachio (sponging)
