Joyful Thoughts

Black & White

2010-08-08T09:57:00.000-06:00

I came across a card in Paper Creations, Fall 2010 magazine by Dorothy Ensz and fell for it instantly. So I copied it, adding my own touches. I used Glimmer Mist-graphite on all the paper but the white card. It added a slight shimmer to it.

Thanks for looking!!

Oooooo, Sparkly

2010-08-05T20:59:00.000-06:00

I have been busy, but I did find some minutes to compose some cards. This one is for a wedding we are attending this weekend. Lotsa pink and sparkles.

Hope you enjoy!

Blue Poppies

2010-06-17T06:07:00.001-06:00

These poppies were fun to color - yes, copics again. Love them. They do something new every time I use them. This means I'm hunkering to color alot of the time - yea, play time!! The stems on these are done free hand, that's why they look crooked. Can you tell I was low on birthday cards?

2010-06-14T10:06:00.000-06:00

This is one of my recent favorites. I love the colors and the simplicity of the layout. I'm very happy with it.

Hope you enjoy it too!

Sunflower

2010-06-11T08:55:00.001-06:00

Here's another that I did in Copic's class. I really like this image - had to by the set - Oh Darn!! I'm having a lot of fun coloring with my new markers. They are amazing - I love coloring with them so much. And I have found a store where I can get them for just about half what I've been paying. Oh Goodie!!

Hope you enjoy.

The stamp is from a set by Penny Black.

Butterfly

2010-05-18T14:18:00.000-06:00

I think my image is too dark for the color of cardstock I chose for the card base. Butterfly is colored with Copics - love them!

Thanks for visiting.

Copics 101

2010-05-06T08:33:00.000-06:00

I took a class on coloring with Copics. I absolutely love coloring with Copics!!
I love this card....I especially like coloring flowers. I've had to buy some new stamps - oh, darn!! Lol. I smudged the sentiment, so I'll have to do that over.

Hope you enjoy!

Butterfly Thoughts

2010-03-13T18:52:00.000-07:00

I picked out the same colored CS as this butterfly has in it. I didn't like it at all, so I narrowed down the colors to just these two. Much better!!!

Hope you enjoy.

One Layer

2010-03-12T08:16:00.000-07:00

This is my first attempt at a one layer card. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I absolutely love it.

I had to mask the branch because I stamped it first. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the shadow and the sentiment. It looked sort of naked, so I added the button.

Thanks for visiting.

Valentine's Goodies

2010-03-10T19:58:00.000-07:00

I realise that it's way past Valentines, but I forgot to post the goody boxes that DD2 and I made. We started with white CS (brown for the boys) and stamped hearts and stuff on it. Then we cut them out, folded and taped together.

We made the front part with red CS behind White CS that's stamped with a big red heart. Then we cut out a big heart out of pink DP and put 3 strips of double sided tape and stuck 3 different colors of teeny tiny micro beads on them. We then popped that out on top of the big red heart. We put a little red heart on the lid, that has a pink bling on it. My DD was thrilled.

Thanks for visiting.

Pretty In Pink Wonderful Inchies

2010-02-26T15:34:00.001-07:00

I got some new inchie stamps, so I had to try them out. CS, DP and ink are all SU, and the pearls, ribbon and stamps are unknown (bought at either Michaels or Scrapbookers Paradise).

These are very soft colors; very feminine; so it got sent to a very good friend of mine. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for visiting.

Olive Sympathy

2010-02-25T09:15:00.001-07:00

I got out my markers and colored this one. I LOVE coloring.

Missing Mojo

2010-02-24T09:15:00.002-07:00

I like the colors. I like the layout. I like the embellishments. I like the DP. BUT....there's something missing or is it the placement of the elements? A smaller and darker sentiment just above the ribbon on the right of the focal area should fix this - maybe. What do you think??? I'm stuck on this one.

Please help!!!

Shiny Birthday

2010-02-23T09:15:00.002-07:00

This one is bright and cheery. I stamped and cut out a flower, then clear embossed it to make it shiny. I used my pinking shears to make the grass and a florish for the flower stems. I colored (with my markers) the teeny flowers on the florish before I stamped. Then I used pearls for the centers of all the flowers. A little ribbon - two kinds- that hold the "HAPPY...". I used my new Slice to cut out the frame that the ribbon goes through. I popped the flower up with dimensionals. The inside says "Birthday".

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy this.

Hearty Love

2010-02-22T09:15:00.002-07:00

Here's a Valentine's card that I hadn't posted. This one is pretty simple - some cutting out (heart), a little stamping (heart and sentiment) and then assembling it. A button with a teeny bow, ribbon and some DP was all I needed to complete this really simple and delightful card.

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for dropping in!!

Birthday Wish Tri-Shutter

2010-02-21T14:13:00.000-07:00

Sorry for being MIA for the past month (how time flies), but you know how life gets in the way. This is one that I made a while ago

and thought I'd better photograph it before I gave it away. This tri-shutter card is all done in the earth tones: card stock, ink, embellishments and DP. Notice my sparkly butterfly in the second photo - love him!!

Hope you enjoy this and stay tuned for more tomorrow.

Falling Hearts

2010-01-19T08:45:00.001-07:00

I love the colors red, black and white, so I made this card. I wanted to make the hearts on the side to seem like they were falling. Hence, the name. I used the new shimmer paints from SU on the hearts. The big one was clear heat embossed before the paint was applied. You will notice that the "love" is the negative from an earlier card.

Hope you enjoy.

Valentines is fast approaching....

2010-01-18T09:27:00.010-07:00

....so here's one for one of my very good friends.

It is very simple and straight forward. I stamped and embossed floating hearts on the corner of the white mat and red card. I wanted to carry the blowing hearts from the stamped image. Did it work?

Supplies: real red & white SU CS, SU DP, A Happy Heart stamp SU, real read, pretty in pink & versa mark ink SU, clear embossing powder, Stickles, ribbon, pink heart, dusty pink CS & red bling unknown

Big Red Bow

2010-01-17T09:21:00.001-07:00

The bow really makes this card - so romantic, don"t you think? And there is no ink!!

Supplies: white and black SU CS, unknown source for the DP and ribbon

Brick Wall Sympathy

2010-01-16T10:08:00.001-07:00

I tried the brick wall technique on this sympathy card. I'll do it again because I love making it and the look is great.

Supplies are SU: embrace life stamp, sentiment (unknown source), pumpkin pie CS, certain celery CS, DP, basic black classic ink, black embossing powder, close to cocoa classic ink, pumpkin pie classic ink, ribbon and leaf from unknown source

Me Scrapbooking?????

2010-01-13T10:54:00.000-07:00

I originally started scrapbooking way back when and life got in the way. After a few years, I picked up card making and now I'm feeling that I want ot get back into scrapping. I guess I was destined to paper craft. Funny how life works.

This is a page that I've done for my mom. I gave her a frame that fits these 12X12 scrapbooking pages and I replace them every so often. These are my girls' school pics and I coordinated the colors from their backgrounds. I got a Slice for Christmas, so I had to use it - yeah!! The flowers I bought - not home made - but the centers were yellow, so I punched out some purple and used my markers to color around them. Hope you like.

Thanks for visiting.

So Saffron Happy Birthday

2010-01-10T13:51:00.001-07:00

I did some Rock N Rolling with this image. Don't you love the effect, especially with the pearl in the middle?

This is all Stampin Up - stamps, ink, designer paper and card stock.

Thanks for visiting.

Pretty In Pink Celebrate

2010-01-09T09:45:00.000-07:00

More birthday......told you I did alot of birthday, and there's still more!!

This one again is SU stamp, ink and paper. Some coloring with the markers, paper flowers, bling and some distressing around blue was what I did/added. I really like the colors - it would be good for baby cards too!!!

Thanks for visiting. Your comments are very much appreciated.

Elegant Eggplant Something For You

2010-01-08T09:06:00.005-07:00

I love using SUs micro beads. They are so simple to use and they add so much. I've used them here to punch up the flowers. As you can see, a few gold ones got in among my clear ones. I cut out the center flower and popped it up to add dimension.

This stamp set is one of SU's two step stamping. I love doing that and I don't do it enough. The colors in this one is similar to my earlier post, but I like this one best.

Thanks for visiting.

Pretty In Pink Happy

2010-01-07T09:09:00.000-07:00

Love the butterfly in the flower. Love the sparkly happy. I just love how feminine this whole card looks. Super simple to do and look how great it turned out.

Thanks for visiting.

Elegant Eggplant Celebrate

2010-01-06T09:02:00.003-07:00

I got a borders stamp set and I had to use it on this one. It made it fun looking, hopefully suitable for my girls to use. I love the EE and the Old olive together, it works for me. Used SU markers to color the balloons and a bit of Stickles and it's ready to go!!

Thanks for visiting.

Close to Cocoa Celebration

2010-01-05T10:16:00.000-07:00

Pink and brown is one of my fav color combos. This SU DP has a splash of blue thrown in; not sure what it's called. Love the rick rack velvet ribbon and the celebrate banner - gold ribbon with clear acetate over it and popped up.

Thanks for visiting.

Barely Banana Birthday

2010-01-04T08:58:00.003-07:00

The holidays are done and what a whirlwind. I may not have posted anything, but I was not idle. My card stash was low on birthday cards, so I created a few, which I will be showing you over the days to come.

Here is the first. It's very easy to make.

Thanks for visiting.

Joy Ornament

2009-11-20T18:47:00.000-07:00

My mojo is working tonight!!!

I did the ornament a couple days ago and put the rest of the card together tonight in about a half an hour - that's the quickest I've ever put a card together!!

I saw this ornament done this way on Dreaming About Rubber Stamps by Darlene McCallum (click here to view) and knew I had to make one. I stamped the ornament three times. The one in green I added sparkles; punched them out with their very own ornament punch; scored and folded them down the middle and glued them together. The DP is from last year - can't find the name of it. I added some bling and a sentiment and Voila!!

TFL

Silver and Blue

2009-11-20T00:06:00.001-07:00

Here's Dasher heat embossed in silver, matted with Brilliant Blue and again in a textured silver paper I had. The front of the card is embossed with my handy dandy Cuttlebug Dots. I then took a piece of the new Bride DP and edged it with Martha Stewart's snowflake punch, put a bow on it (from Michaels, I think) and then layered Brocade Blue CS behind the snowflakes.

TFL.

Holiday Trees

2009-11-16T09:22:00.000-07:00

With the last card being so finiky, I thought I would do simple one.

Stamped ands cut out the trees, then heat embossed with chunky clear embossing powder. Popped them up on a green mulberry paper, which is on creamy caramel CS on really rust CS. Using cc ink, I stamped and stamped off snowflakes, as I did with the star. The sentiment is in cc ink as well, with some chocolate around it. Add some red bling and voila, it's done!!

TFL

Happy Holidays

2009-11-15T19:54:00.003-07:00

I saw a white card the other day and thought I must try that. And here it is.

White and silver ribbon around embossed white CS layered on silver CS.

The sentiment is painstakingly cut out - both layers!! It was pretty finiky cutting around all those swirls. Under that I used a spellbinders shape (not sure what it's called but I'm sure you recognize it). I really like how it came out.

TFL

Square in a Square in a Square

2009-11-11T08:41:00.005-07:00

This is my take on a card we did in card class. I wasn't crazy about the colors used, so I came home and chose my own colors. Love that shimmery brown and red together. This was FUN!!

Gold embossing on the real red CS; simmery brown CS with red rhinestones. Stampin Up stamps used are Season of Joy and Holiday Collection; sentiment is one I found somewhere.

TFL

Patterned Pines

2009-11-09T09:14:00.002-07:00

Just a quick post. I put lots of small embellies on this one. It was fun!!

TFL

Sparkly Trees

2009-11-08T08:59:00.003-07:00

I stamped the single tree from Lovely As a Tree in both Handsome Hunter and Old Olive a few times onto Naturals White CS. Distressed with Creamy Caramel. Matted with the two greens and put on a CC CS. I then sparkled only the main tree. Ribbon is a find frm Michaels.

I used the swirl and the sentiment from Delightful Decorations stamp set to do the tag.

TFL

Little Birdie

2009-11-06T09:01:00.003-07:00

This is another image from my friends set. Gotta love them.

This one started out as a quilt card, but I sort of got carried away. I do like it tho.

Hope you enjoy!!

TFL!

Another Wreath

2009-11-05T09:43:00.000-07:00

I switched up the colors this time. Handsome Hunter, Elegant Eggplant and Lavender Lace look yummy together. The sentiment is done in Old Olive (my fav green this year).

TFL!!

Season's Greetings

2009-11-04T09:45:00.000-07:00

Another one! You've all seen this stamp - Lovely as a Tree (SU), but I never get tired of it. I always do a Christmas card with it - okay, maybe more that one.

I glittered the star, as well as the trees.

Hope you enjoy. TFL!!

Snowman

2009-11-03T15:37:00.002-07:00

Isn't he cute??

This is a stamp that I borrowed from my friend.

I love the sparkles on the snowfflakes.

Recipe For Box

2009-11-02T18:11:00.007-07:00

Here's the recipe for the Stationery Box that's pictured previously.

Base: Score 12" x 12" CS at 5" and 7". In the other direction, score at 3" and 9", the cut sides at score lines into the 5 & 7 score lines. Fold these flaps into the center and glue down (for extra support). This is the bottom of your box. Cut 1-3/4" off each side of the top panels only. Score the bottom flaps 1" in from each side.

Box Lid: Score a 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" CS at 1-1/4" on all four sides. Embellish as you desire.

Card Holder: Score a 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" CS at 1-1/4" on both short sides and one long side. Trim corners and apply glue or sticky strip to scored sections. Fold up the top of the card box and attach to the two sides that were cut and the bottom.

Gold Angel

2009-11-02T09:29:00.001-07:00

This one was quite simple. Just heat embossed the angel on shimmer paper from SU and frame it with gold paper, cut with my round nesties. I set that on the new Bride paper from SU. I tied a red bow (this one looks lethargic) on the bottom and pasted that onto real red cardstock. It looks quite elegant (except for the lazy one), but simple.

TFL !!

Christmas Card Box

2009-11-01T18:18:00.004-07:00

Here's what we made at our last card class. I think this is so cool!! We made six 4 1/2 X 5 cards, four 3 X 3 cards and four tags to go inside. We then made a loop to hold the pen. OMG - I forgot to make a little envelope to hold the stamps!! It goes under the pen. It all folds up and the lid holds it together. It even has ribbon for a handle!!

This was so much fun. It'll make a great gift!!

TFL!!

Happy Halloween

2009-10-31T16:19:00.002-06:00

It's spooky night. I hope everyone have all their ghosts, witches and princesses all ready to go. Mine are more excited about getting their dad ready - first time he's let them dress him up!!!

Anyways, here's my newest card. Yes, it's another Christmas card. I can't seem to stop doing them! At least I have a friend I can give my extras to.

Hope you enjoy this one.

Red Tree

2009-10-15T09:00:00.002-06:00

This one is cased too. I got it from Creations by Corie and she got it from

Laura from Scrapnextras. Hers are much better, but I had to try. I think I got the dimensions wrong. I still like it tho. Oh, have you noticed I like this tree, too.

Thanks for visiting.

Card stock: SU very vanilla, choc chip & white

Ink: SU real red

DP: Michaels

Embellies: SU real red grosgrain ribbon & red gems

Chocolate

2009-10-14T09:19:00.000-06:00

Okay. I'm having a chocolate run; you'd never know it, tho. The first color I reach for is chocolate. This one I ran with it. I took creamy caramel card stock, put choc chip ink on my embossing folder and then embossed. I love the effect. I found this designed paper with the cute penguin on it and matted it with glorious green.

Sparkled 'winter' and matted it in bravo burgundy. Another ribbon from Michaels finishes it off.

Hope you like and thanks for visiting.

Dasher

2009-10-13T09:10:00.000-06:00

I loved this stamp from the moment I saw it. Red, green and choc brown CS; real red ink; white gel pen and ribbon I found at Michaels (I think). Used scallop scissors for the bottom.

Cased

2009-10-12T09:14:00.001-06:00

This card is a case by Kim Richards that I found on Michelle Habib's blog, O 2 B Stampin! I love the colors, the paper (love the new wedding papers from SU) and the stamps.

Thanks for visiting.

Merry

2009-10-11T09:14:00.001-06:00

This one is definitely fun, quick and easy. I love these colors.

I cut the letters out with my Cuttlebug then sparkled them with heat n stick and diamond dust. Stamped a dn cut out mittens. Used martha Stewarts edging stamp on the bottom of the card face, as well as on the inside. I popped the mittens to give it some depth.

Leave your blogger address and I'll definitely be over to visit yours!!

Thanks for visiting!!

Wow

2009-10-10T20:00:00.003-06:00

I llloooovvveee this one!!

And I had fun doing it. I stamped the image with choc chip ink onto watercolour paper, then used my aqua pen and real red ink. I didn't use choc chip staze on ink, so the veins of the poinsettia faded a bit and some of the choc chip ink mixed with the red. Used summer sun marker to color the center
I'm very pleased with the result!

Finished it off with ribbon, brads, distressing and a word.

Blue, not purple

2009-10-03T08:36:00.000-06:00

I saw this snowflake wreath in the current Card Makers magazine and I knew I had to try it.

New Stamp Set

2009-10-01T22:20:00.000-06:00

I HAD to play, right? I like the result. You can't see it, but the inside has versa marked snowflakes around the edges, same as the green strip on the front.

Purple Again

2009-09-30T22:37:00.000-06:00

This is my before pic, because this needs something. I'll figure it out.

Another Inchie

2009-09-28T09:41:00.002-06:00

I just love purple!

Purple christmas cards?? Gotta try it, right!

Snowflakes

2009-09-25T23:04:00.000-06:00

My youngest daughter said I HAD to use this stamp. They are a little bigger than inchies, so a longer card was the trick. Glittered them up and she was happy. Now for the homemade envelope.........?

Copper Christmas

2009-09-24T11:06:00.001-06:00

The copper metalic paper was taunting me.

And I loved how it turned out.

Holly Inchies

2009-09-23T11:11:00.001-06:00

I've always thought inchies were cute, so I had to try them. They are so fun and fast!!

More Christmas

2009-09-21T22:00:00.001-06:00

It's Christmas....

2009-09-19T22:34:00.002-06:00

Here's my Tween

2009-06-15T19:51:00.003-06:00

She's 12 now!! eeeeeeiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Hello

2009-06-15T19:36:00.007-06:00

Here's one I did last month. Just took awhile to photo it, etc.

I really like this stamp - two step stamping & lilacs.

The inside is ready for a sentiment - maybe a sympathy one.

Thanks for looking.

And I appreciate you waiting soooo long for this, Donelda.

Gone Again

2009-02-28T22:50:00.001-07:00

We are off to Vegas til Thursday. I'll post again when I'm back. I found another VSN I did - misplaced the little sucker.

More VSN

2009-02-27T08:21:00.002-07:00

I really love this one. It just kinda fell into place.

This is my fav stamp set. I really like any two-step stamping. Thank goodness for stamp-a-ma-jig.

TFL.

VSN on SplitcoastStampers

Stay tuned, there's more to come later.

Love Notes

2009-01-26T08:00:00.000-07:00

A little bling on some.......

a little ribbon.....

a little color and dry embossing on others.......

and a button and again the embossing!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

Mauve Hummingbird

2009-01-14T08:00:00.000-07:00

I had fun doing this one. The little hummingbird is shiny - I used Crystal Effects on him. I used the rock n roll technique on the flower.

TFL and have a good day!

Blue Thank Yous

2009-01-13T08:00:00.000-07:00

These are 3X3 Thank You cards. I love blue and white - it's crisp and clean.

Scrapbooking???

2009-01-11T11:00:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love this picture of my DD and my Dad. They were the best of buddies. I miss him. Anyhoo, I just had to do something with this pic before I lost it or something, so I made this. It can stand up just like a picture frame and I can put it in an album later. But right now it's where I can see it everyday.

TFL

Lattes

2009-01-10T22:58:00.000-07:00

Would you beleive this is my youngest DD's work? She did it all by herself - used the stamp-a-majig and figured out the design.

I like how she did the lattes down the side - so cool!!

I'm so proud!!!!!

Gold Christmas Tree

2008-12-19T16:33:00.003-07:00

This one was fun to make. Metal embossing on the star and the brad on the inside. I got the pattern from somebody - sorry can't remember who - I tried to find it last night. Anybody know who? Easy and fun to do.

TFL!!

Blossom

2008-12-12T00:17:00.000-07:00

I just love this one - the stamp is a fav; the paper is great; and the look is just simple.

Iris Folding

2008-12-10T21:18:00.000-07:00

This is one of the cards we did in card class. I did have trouble finishing this one. Major mental block.

Christmas Card Holder

2008-12-09T15:24:00.000-07:00

I made this to hold the cards I made for my mom.

Falling Star

2008-12-06T10:58:00.000-07:00

Sparkling stars are one of my favs for Christmas.

Flower Pretties

2008-12-04T11:00:00.002-07:00

When I started this card, I had no idea that it would end up like this. I really like it.

Joy

2008-12-04T10:56:00.002-07:00

When I saw this stamp, I HAD to have it. Yes, it was the 'joy' part! (teehee)

Seasons Greetings

2008-12-04T10:41:00.001-07:00

I got my order from SU. Love the new paper & new stamp set! I think I need to put a star on top of the tree, tho.

Nesties!!!!!!

2008-12-03T19:17:00.003-07:00

Yep!! This is my first card with my new set of scallop circle nestibilities. WaaHoo!!! I love em!

Burgundy Bursts

2008-11-27T14:15:00.002-07:00

I love the pearls. I don't do much free hand drawing, but this looks nice.

Thanks for visiting!

Snow Storm

2008-11-24T00:19:00.002-07:00

That's what this green paper reminded me of so I used that theme for this card. I dotted lots of sparkles (can see them better in real life of course) to simulate snow. Does it work? Thanks for visiting.

Hey! Check out this new blog I found iralamija. She's fantastic; more feminine than me and creative.

I love this set. It's simple and serene. My DD gave this card to her new bus driver.

Thanks for visiting.

Amazing

I did these ALL last night. I guess I had a major creative streak. These are going with my calendar that I'm making for a Christmas present and I have more to do. I hope the next ones go as quickly. Enjoy!

And More......

Hi!

Stay tuned, there's more to come.

OMG!!!!!

I can't believe it's been this long since I last posted. Where has the time gone?

Here's a new card I've done recently. Got new stamps so I had to stamp! I still have some sets that I need to break open. I've been busy quilting this summer - you know - you get the bug, you gotta do!! Right?

Black and white with just a touch of color is simple yet so dramatic. The butterfly is sparkled and the o in you has a sparkled brad.

Hope you enjoy.

The color of the bottom of the box is actually gray. There's a pearl ex-ed flourish under the flower. Thanks for looking.

I made this one in my last card class. My SU demo is so crafty and she comes up with the neatest creations. This one I veered a little off of her creation - I made the background paper. There is glitter glue in the middle of the flowers and in the middle of the swirls. I think these colors really look great together.

Love these colors; love the paper; love the rub on and the pretties and the flowers. Okay, I guess I love it!

Amazing

I made this for my DD's birthday. That would be why I haven't posted for a while. Sorry. I had nine girls, 8, 9 & 10 year olds for this bash and then six for a sleep over. It was a BLAST!!!!! I forgot how much fun girls can have.

Anyways, here I am back to my fav color - purple! I found the strip paper at Michaels, as well as the ribbon - the rest is SU. It was the ribbon that inspired me - one of those 'gotta have's.

I have more to post. I just got my order in, so I will get right on those! Thanks for visiting.

Sending these to my MIL for mommy's day. I got the template for the frame from a magazine and had to try it. I had fun doing them.

Thanks for visiting.

Okay - I guess I jumped the gun on that last post - winter is not quite done yet! Yuck!! What a snowstorm!! So, I bundle up and get creative.

Bye Bye Frosty

For awhile anyways! One good thing about winter is that it brings some of the most beautiful scenery. I love frost on the trees.

Here's my shot at primary colors. This is not in my comfort zone, but I think it turned out okay! Surprised me.

Thanks for looking.

SU cardstock, ribbon, stamps and ink; a piece of plaid paper I picked up somewhere.

Flowers, flowers, everywhere

I can hardly wait until I can plant some flowers! I've got spring fever reeeaaal bad! I guess that's why I've been doing flowers lately. I hope you like this flower card.
I just booked a flight for my mom and I to go on a holiday. We haven't been on one for a long time, so I thought it was about time. We are going to be away the last week in May. I'm looking forward to it.
