Warm Winter Wishes Amy!


This is the Christmas card that I made for my 14 year old daughter, Amy.

She knitted scarves for a lot of her cousins, aunts & grandmas for Christmas gifts this year. So when I found this stamp set, I knew I had to make her Christmas card with it.

To embellish the card, I used ribbon that I bought from Shopper's Drug Mart a few years ago, Making Memories heart clips and MFT's Die-namics - Postage Stamp Stax.

I used MFT's ALM - Knit Happens & MFT's WTG Gets Cozy with Cocoa stamp sets.

Copic Markers used are: Purple - V25 & V95; Blue - B97 & BV34; Background - BG70; Grey - N2; Shoes - N10; Skin - E00 & E000 and Hair - E25, E27 & E29.

To embellish the card, I used Stampendous Silver Flower Chain stickers, Imaginisce I-Top Topper Punches, Martha Stewart Button Punch, Grand Labels Four Nestability and for the word "Easter" I used Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge.

Cupcake Birthday Card



I have a lot of birthdays coming up in January and I am trying to get all my birthday cards for the month of January finished before Christmas.

Not only do I have a lot of birthday cards to make, but in one household there are 3 female birthdays in which I have to make a card from me and one from my grandparents. So that is 6 different designs that I have to come up with, but I love the challenge....only because I am working on them now and not the night before.

I made this card with my soon to be 4 year old cousin in mind, but I had enough paper to make 6 in total. 

I used American Craft's Fresh Squeezed Cherry Syrup & Strawberry Spread two-sided patterned papers, Echo Park Country Drive Clover/Big Sky & Petunia/Raspberry two-sided patterned papers with Bazzill Fire Hearts & Intense Kiwi cardstock. I also used two different Bazzill Brown cardstocks from my scrap bin.

To embellish the card, I used MFT Ribbon, Stampin' Up Ribbon, Stamping Bella Bling, Bazzill Brads, Buttercup Liquid Pearls & Pebbles Inc. "happy birthday" rub-ons.

I also used Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, Create a Critter 2 Cricut Cartridge & Cherry Limeade Cricut Cartridge.

I used CC Designs Berry Logos stamp set with Rich Cocoa Momento Ink and Stampin' Up's Primrose Petals Marker.
