Lighthouse Silhouette




My Dad loves lighthouses so I thought this would be a good card for him.  I cut out the images with my Sizzix Eclips and sponged the color onto the Whisper White background.  To do the sun I punched a circle out and sponged my color through it.  This is a full size card made form an 8.5" x 11 piece of card stock.

3D Ladybug



I really struggle with Kids cards and I am actually going to challenge myself to make more kiddy cards.  This one was made for my niece who turned 2 .  I figured a 3D lady bug would suit her just fine.  I added the ribbon around the edge and it reminded me of a toddler's blanket.

This is one of my favorite sets and one of my oldest.  When they came out with the Clear Mount sets I tried them and decided due to my limited space I needed to go that route.  This is one of the only sets I have left that is wood mounted.  Using up some of the In Colors that will be going out in a few weeks.  The tree is embossed

You're the Star




This is also a CASE.  It was from a site with foreign language (I believe it was German) but I was in a hurry and did not save the site so I cannot remember where the idea came from.  It was a fun and quick card, which is where stamping fits in my life right now.  We are still in full school mode and now soccer season plus trying to get ready for graduation and all the fun full summer activities....Some times I just need to stop and make a card to burn off some creative juices.

Minecraft Birthday






My son always comes up with the most fun requests for his friends' birthday cards.  The older they get the harder the concept.  This year he requested a Minecraft card for his friend addicted to Minecraft.  I know nothing of the game besides what I see so I had to keep it simple.  I did quite a bit of it with my Eclips but without the texture it would not have had the pixel look that was needed.
