Truly Grateful ~ A Stamp set focus!

Good day Happy Stamper!

Today I'm gonna show you a SUPER cute card using the stamp set Truly Grateful from Stampin' Up!

I received this card from a fabulous demo in my sideline.  Sue Fortune...I adore you!  Not only is this a STUNNING card....it beats anything I could have come up with (since I don't own this set!!)

I love love love Fall.  And this card is a perfect way to use up some paper scraps as well as showcase some of our awesome embossing folders.  Nothing is off limits with leaves!  I love how she scored the leaves, used the dots embossing folder and she added some texture to the card by rubbing the sides of the image in the Soft Suede ink.  And that pop of glimmer paper is so classy!

Okay so in all seriousness...this set is so versatile...wanna see what else you can do with it?

Head on over to SSInkspiration and see what all the fuss is about.  The girls are all using the stamp set Truly Grateful and they each have their own little twist to it.  I love how we all see things so differently!

Quick and Easy Peasy does it!

Quick and Easy Wednesday!

What is quicker than using scraps and a framelit?!

NOTHING!!  :)

How cute are these guys?!!

They were leftover from another project, and honestly, I crumbled them up accidentally and then "POOF" an inspiration hit!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these new framelits!!  I cannot wait to show them to you!

I also love the stamp set Mingle All The Way!

  This is only half of the stamped image...the rest is super cute too!!  and there are a mix of fall/winter holiday sayings in it!   Super Super Fun!

Thanks for poppin in today!  Wanna see what the rest of the SSInk Design team considers "Quick and Easy" ?!  Check it out HERE.

Card Sketch #SSINKCS12

I cannot tell you how excited I am that it is Monday!!

Mondays are fundays over at SSInkspirations!

I made this super fun card for today's sketch challenge #SSINKCS12

Don't you just LOVE previews from the new Holiday Catalog?!

As soon as I saw this sketch I KNEW I had to do these little cuties!
It is my take on one of my favorite children's books


"Three Little Ghosties, sitting on posties, eating burnt toasties, telling big boasties..."


The whole book is full of cute little rhymes and these little ghosties are just adorbs!

 The moon was masked with a 1 inch circle of post-it note sponged over with Night of Navy, Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, and Smokey Slate

I know you're shocked, but yes, I used a Sharpie and my Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities to color the pearls for the eyes and the necklace.

This is from the Fall Fest set....and YES it comes in a bundle with coordinating framelits!
Also, the paper in the background is from the Medley Monsters DSP, and the "Trick or Treat" is from the new hostess set Good Greetings.  Lots of new stuff!!

Thanks for checking in!  Come back tomorrow to see a few quick and easy cards using scraps of DSP.

Masculine Monday!

Masculine Monday! Yay!

I always struggle with making "man cards."  A lot of my stamps can be used in very silly, flowery, glittery ways.  Yay for those of us who like that!

My husband is usually a good sport about getting "girly" cards.  He really doesn't care as long as I made them.  That being said, I think he's always impressed when I make something WITHOUT flowers or glitter.  hehe

like this!

Our 10 year anniversary is coming up in a few weeks....I wonder if I can keep this a secret, and NOT lose it between now and then?   haha RIGHT

Just because it's for a guy, doesn't mean it can't have a little swirly writing and some bling. :)

I LOVE this new Thick Bakers Twine!!  And another colored button with my Blendabilities!!  I think the Woodgrain stamp is so perfect for a manly card, don't you? 

Wanna see some more cards for the man (and little man!) in your life?

Head on over to SSINKspiration to see what the girls are up to on this Manly Monday!
