Waltzingmouse Christmas

I have some WMS Christmas yumminess for you! I think you will recognize that gorgeous label right off, it was released last month. I had to use a PTI sentiment as none of my WMS ones were big enough (guess I will need to go buy me some sentiments, eh?). I used Off beat backgrounds for the white polkadots. I layed down some score tape and covered it in martha stewart glitter. Next up some pure poppy twill and a lovely, sparkly spring rain button.

Merry Christmas

This card is made with the polka dots from Off-Beat Backgrounds and the Poinsettia image from Bountiful Baskets Additions. I colored and cut out the flowers, and then popped them up with foam tape. The A2 card is adhered onto a piece of 5x7 Scarlet Jewel (PTI) cardstock.

Thanks for looking!

Driving By!

Hi there! I have a cute little Half Pint Hero card for you today! I used the little car and one of the wee faces. Adorable! I also used the cool zig zag background from Off Beat Back grounds. A little blue strip and some buttons for interest finish off the card. Thanks for visiting!

Happy birthday

Working ahead on my boy birthday card stash!

I stamped the background using the checks from Off-Beat Background and the racecars are from Free Spirit.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday

My son's friend, Suvan, is turning 5--Free Spirit stamp set to the rescue! I think lots of boys this age love bikes, so I went with that as a focal image. The background is stamped with the grid from Off-Beat Backgrounds and I used some PTI stamps for his name and the sentiment.

Thanks for looking!

Glorious Spring Flowers!

Hi there! Happy Sunday! I have this great flower made with two of the stamps from Vintage Circles. I stamped the petal stamp repeatedly on white and then colored and cut out each petal. I stamped the circle and punched it out. Then I colored it as well. I stamped the background (Berry sorbet cs from PTI) with the plaid stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds. I cut a piece of white for the middle and stamped it with the sentiment from Spring Baskets. I added two pieces of Hawaiian Shores Rickrack (PTI) And then adhered the flower on top. I am really happy with that flower! Thanks for stopping in.
PS. Claire just released 8 (yes 8!!) new sets, rush over to Waltzingmouse and check them out!

Distressing Fun

So I was at the Waltzingmousehouse forum the other day and was reading this fun little thread about distress inks by Tim Holtz. I remembered that I had one distress pad that I had bought ages ago. (Its Brown Corduroy). So I decided to depart from my usual style and make a fun little distressed card. The first thing I did was ink up the Offbeat background grid in Dark Chocolate ink. I stamped it on Lemon Tart cardstock. Next I cut a scallop out of some old PTI patterned paper. Then I took my Vintage Circles stamps and stamped the focal point in dark chocolate. I cut it out with my nesties and then added the sentiment (from Lil Buddies). I added some yellow glitter and dark chocolate twill and of course went to town with the distress ink. Its not my usual style but I think it came out kinda cool. You should stop by the waltzingmouse house forum and see what ideas you pick up on.
