Simon Says Stamp: Easter and Glimmer and House Mouse Challenge #66: Easter

Easter and Glimmer. I don't have many Holiday stamps that non-Christmas related. I think I realized this last year when I bought this HM stamp but had never used it until this weekend. It was fun to color. I stamped my HM image with Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah Solar White. I colored with my copics and used Diamond Stickles on the pussywillows - My Glimmer!! The Flowers are Prima. The cardstock is a mix of Stampin' Up and Bazzill Basics. The Designer Paper is Stampin' Up. The sentiment is a rubon from Stampin' Up. The brads are from Hobby Lobby.

House Mouse Challenge #65: Sketch

I hope I make the challenge in time as I completed my card on Saturday and procrastinated photo taking until this morning. My take on the sketch below and new HM Stamp since Hobby Lobby had all Stampabilities 50% off :-). I stamped my image with Tuxedo Memento Black and stamped on Neenah Solar White. I colored with my copic markers and used Diamond stickles on the wings. The Designer Series paper is Stampin' Up. The cardstock is Stampin' Up and Bazzill Basics. The flowers are Prima. Brads are from stash. I also used my scalloped circle Nesties and my Cuttlebug. Finally the punches and sentiment stamp are Stampin' Up.

House Mouse Challenge #63: Multi Fold Card

Great Challenge. I used a design that I have used previously on cards but it is my favorite multi-fold card. I stamped my image on Neenah Classic Crest - Cream cardstock with Tuxedo Memento Black. Colored the image with Copic Markers. Cut out and embossed with Nestabilities. I also covered the entire drink filled portion of the glass with crystal effects. It looks great. I love that stuff. Other Cardstock is Stampin' Up and the designer paper is BoBunny. The flowers are Prima and the silver hardware is from the SU! Hodge Podge collections. The ribbon is simple chocolate brown grograin. The sentiments are SU!





Magnolia-licious Challenge Feb 28, 2010: Pop-Up Card


My first pop-up card............I have been working on this card for two weekends. It was a little tricky to figure out how to make the Tilda "pop-up". I didn't get it quite right because my card won't lay flat....but she looks great when I open the card. My Tilda and Edwin are colored with copics and embellished with SU! Crystal effects on the wings, the Star, and the ornaments. I finally figured out how to use my Tim Holtz tool with the white pads to antique my images - as you can see I loved it once I was able to lay down the ink nicely. I used Nestabilities on the inside along with Prima Flowers and MLYB Brads. The cuttlebug has been busy all weekend!
Cardstock: Stampin' Up
Images and Sentiments: Magnolia and SU! Home for Christmas
Ink: SU! Soft Seude
Button: Basic Grey
Ribbon/Twine: SU!
