What would we do without a greeting......card?

I just love to make my own greeting cards. There are endless possibilities. You can personalize them to fit the person or the occassion.

Seeing Red Card Challenge

Here is my entry for the Seeing Red Card Challenge. I used a Magnolia stamp and colored her with Copic markers. The border is made with a Martha Stewart punch. I stamped the image, and then scanned it into my computer where I could then re size it. I like the larger size stamped images as they are much easier for me to color and they then become the focal point of my card. The background paper is from a stack I got a long time ago, so I don't know what it is. The inside sentiment is "Hope you are having a cool day." Well I hope you are having a cool day too and that you like my card. Until the next challenge - bye for now.

SEW MUCH FUN card challenge

Here is my entry for the card challenge. This is a Tiddly Inks digital image that I colored with my copic markers. I sized the image to fit the card.  I used my white gel pen to make the faux stitching around the border. The inside sentiment says, "My best friend and I are hoping you are have a great day. I think this is such a cute image from TiddlyInks and I like how the card came out. I hope you like it too. Until next time - hope you are having a great day. My best to you.

Christmas in July Challenge

Here is my card for the Christmas in July Challenge. I used the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. The sack of toys, the present, and the Santa tag all came from a package of Christmas embellishments. The paper was from a DCWV stack. I love how this little card turned out, however I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Teddy Bear Parade cut outs. They are all so very cute. I have enjoyed using them in other cards that I have made. I really enjoy making Christmas cards and have made a different card for each of my  recipients for the past two years. I am eager to get started on my cards for this year and this will get me started. I hope you like my Santa Teddy too.

Terrific Tuesday Challenge-Summer Time

Hi All,
Here is my entry for the Summer Time challenge. The little girl is a Magnolia stamp that I colored with copic markers. What I did was to stamp the image and then scan the image into my computer. I then re sized it larger and printed it out. I colored the larger stamped image which is a lot easier to do. I used a Martha Stewart flower punch for the bottom border. I popped the image up on pop dots. The inside sentiment is have a really cool summer. I hope you like this little entry as much as I liked making it. Until next time - have a great day.

CTV Challenge # 30

Here is my entry for the CTV design team challenge # 30. My Father's Day card is white cardstock. The bottom portion that represents his slacks is a denim looking paper. I cut a tie shape out of striped paper and added a gemstone for the tie tack. The belt is ribbon and the belt buckle is a pop top piece from a soda can. I used stick on letters for the DAD. I hope you like my little card. I really enjoy entering these challenges and the design team always comes up with great ideas for the challenge.
Until next time have fun making cards.

Yummy Ice Cream


Hi Everyone,
With the weather getting warmer and summer soon upon us, I thought this little card would be just the thing to get us in the mood for ice cream. I happen to think any time of year is good for ice cream. I used a Matilda stamp on white card stock and then scaned it into my computer and resized it larger. I used my copic markers to color the stamp. I am getting better at using the copics and I like how they look for coloring stamps. I used a flower punch to add a border to the card. I really like the looks of this card and for the inside sentiment I used "Wishing you a happy birthday". I like making the stamps larger as I think you can see more detail. I hope you like this little card. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day. Blog you again soon.
