Evan made the team!

If you are looking for Jamie's birthday hop go here.

This little project I made to congratulate my daughter's boyfriend Evan for making the football team at school. I am also entering it in a challenge at Jaded Blossom. I used Jaded Blossom Sport Kisses stamps for the Hershey Kisses (stamped with Stampin Up Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit~new In Colors for 2012-2014) And Congratulations is from Jaded Blossom's Simple Sayings. Mounted on cuts from the Jaded Blossom flag die in a Jaded Blossom gift bag. I cut the football on my Cameo and the image is La La Land Crafts Football Luka that I colored with Copics in their High School colors with a bit of gold Stickles on top. I hope he likes it but I think he will. I must admit I totally got the idea from Stefani at Styles By Stefani because I was stumped if I should make a card or what then she posted the cutest similar idea and I had to steal it! Check out her project too she is so inspirational!

Jamie's August 18th Birthday Hop

I am delighted to be participating in my wonderful friend Jamie's birthday hop to help celebrate her birthday! You should have arrived from Ashley but if not you'll want to start at the beginning with Jamie because you won't want to miss a thing! Also be sure to comment on all the blogs and stop by Scraptastical-Kreations and leave some love because they are generously offering some tasty blog candy ~ $15 in free files ~ to one lucky commenter and they have some awesome files!

My family has many birthdays to celebrate in August also (including mine and my cousin tomorrow) so I've made quite a few birthday cards recently. I've made this one using a darling Greeting Farm stamp that I colored with Copics and a bit of Liquid Pearls on her flower. I used Stampin Up So Saffron, Calypso Coral and Twitterpated papers, an SU embossing folder, some MayArts Ribbon Carousel ribbon and for the first time I tried some washi tape! I hope you enjoyed my project and the next stop on the hop is Maria.

Grammy's Birthday Card

This birthday card I made for my grandmother's birthday. I used Greeting Farm Anya colored with Copics. Stampin Up paper, Twitterpated designer paper, Nestabilites embossed with a Stampin Up folder and some gorgeous May Arts ribbon.

Aunt Debby's Birthday Card

 This is a card I made recently for my Aunt's birthday.
I would have liked more time to make it (everything unplanned popped up!) but it was cute nonetheless! I used a La La Land Marci stamp that my girls chose, colored with Copics and some Stampin Up paper.

 The inside I used a metallic gel pen and my Cameo to write and cut.

Here we made a quick gift bag of kisses stamped with various Jaded Blossom stamps.

Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop

Welcome to the Jaded Blossom Customer Blog Hop. I am so honored to be a part of this hop because I absolutely love all of the Jaded Blossom products! For this hop I created a card, one that will be perfect for Mother's Day.
I used this sweet little girl and sentiment from the Bug~A~Boo stamp set. I colored her with my Copics and used the Jaded Blossom Flag Die in the background. With the exception of Bubblegum Bazzill all paper is Stampin Up along with ink, punches and embossing folder.
Make sure to hop back to Jaded Blossom and grab the awesome free digi stamps and check out the next blogger in the line up. You'll want to be sure to comment on all the blogs because Jaded Blossom is offering yummy blog candy including Echo Park paper, Twine and new treat boxes which have yet to be released, to three lucky winners! Everyone will have
until Sunday evening to complete the hop. Winners will
be announced Monday morning. Thanks so much for
stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my card!

Let's Party

I made this card for my daughter's friend's 15th birthday.

 My daughter requested Aqua, Black and cute. I used "Julie" an image by Kraftin' Kimmie. Colored her with my Copics. I was able to do the black stitching on my Cameo along with cutting the layer. All the Aqua stitching was done with Sakura Souffle pens. I used some Stampin Up ribbon and Doodlebug Twine in Swimming Pool.

This was the inside of the card all cut and printed on the Cameo.

Sympathy card

I made this Sympathy card recently when my stepfather's mother passed away. The card was made with mostly Stampin Up papers, ink, ribbon, stamps and embossing folder except for the sentiment was from Unity Stamps.

This was the best part. I got the pen/marker adapters from Chomas Creations and am now able to write inside my cards using my Cameo. I also used it to cut the frame on the inside.

Kraftin' Kimmie Baby card

This card was made for a friend who is expecting and she does not know the gender. She wants to be surprised. I wish I could have been that patient lol!

I used a Kraftin' Kimmie image along with sentiment. I colored with my Copics and got her haircolor just right for the new mom! I sponged some Distress Ink around the edges of the oval (cut on my Cameo) All paper is Stampin Up and also the ribbon and sentiment punch. I used Cottage Cutz dies for the pennant, cut the letters on the Cameo and strung it together with twine (I think Divine Twine). Embossed with the Swiss Dots folder and stitched on my sewing machine.

3rd Wedding Anniversary

I celebrated my 3rd wedding anniversary on the 13th and wanted to share that with everyone. I received 3 lovely bouquets of flowers and the bizarre thing is my hubby and I both got/made each other cards with dogs and hearts. We are too much alike LOL!

 This is the card I made using scraps but I cut it out from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 6 inches. It is Tag3 card. The stamp is from There She Goes Stamps Puppy Love. Stamoped with Momenta inks colored with Copics. The flag dies and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom. Buttercream Twinery Twine and some buttons secured with Helmar Scrap Dots.

 The inside of the card is stamped with Hero Arts, Lawn Fawn and Clear and Simple Stamps. Stampin Up Early Espresso ink.

Here's My Heart

This card was made for my Addicted To Stamps design team using a digi image by Sherri Baldy called Here's My Heart. It is available for purchase at Scrapbook Stamp Society. I colored her with Copics and added a little Stampin Up dazzling diamonds to her heart.

Cupcake Hottie

This digi image is Cupcake Hottie by Heather Valentin. Available for purchase through Scrapbook Stamp Society. Made for my Addicted To Stamps design team. Colored with Copics and her wings are clear star gelly pen. I love how it gives a glittery transparent look to the wings. Sentiment is Stampin Up. DCWV paper from the Sweet Stack. Twine from Trendy Twine.
