Is summer over?

Is it too late to make a popsicle card? I saw variations of this card all summer, but never got around to making one until tonight.

I bought popsicle sticks over a month ago so I could make one, but I was waiting til I got the Tart and Tangy set. Then I was just waiting til I had time to make it! :P

Stamps: Tart and Tangy (SU)

Ink: Tangerine Tango (SU)

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze (all SU)

Other: Scallop punch, 1 3/8" punch, 1 1/4" punch (all SU), ribbon, popsicle stick

Upsy Daisy!

This is the first time I've used this stamp set, and I love it already! I'm also loving Kraft and Always Artichoke together. This pic doesn't do it justice (I hate taking pics at night). Hopefully I'll have some other cards to post later this week too.

Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU)
Paper: Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Kraft (All SU)

I'm Back...

Well, once again it's been awhile since I posted. I left for a week of vacation (to San Francisco!) the day after my last post, and have been catching up this week and also fighting a cold (I really need to get better, I feel like I've been sick FOREVER), so I haven't had anything to post until now. I notice I have over 500 hits now, I'm gonna have to post some blog candy soon!




I made this card today for a card challenge. The challenge was to create a Christmas card using one colour (plus white and black). So, this is what I came up with. I have a big square scallop punch, but it wouldn't fit in the corner, so I cut the punch out in half and overlapped it before putting the greeting cutout on top.

Stamps: Season of Joy (SU)
Ink: Kiwi Kiss
Paper: Kiwi Kiss (SU), Whisper White (SU), Always Artichoke (SU)
Other: Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder, Square Scallop Punch, Snowflake brads, black brads

Two Cards I Needed Today

You'd think I'd have some cards ready to use, but today I needed a blank notecard and a guy birthday card, neither of which I happened to have here.

So, here's what I made:

Stamps: Eastern Blooms (SU)

Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU)

Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette (All SU)

Other: D'Vine Swirl Cuttlebug folder, Ticket Corner Punch (SU), brown brads, beige grosgrain ribbon

Then I needed a guy card. I suck at making guy cards, why can't guys like flowers? :P

Anyway, this is what I made, hope it's manly enough...

Stamps: On Your Birthday (SU)
Ink: Basic Black (SU)
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Basic Gray, Urban Garden DSP (all SU)
Other: Large Oval Punch (SU), Black satin ribbon, Happy Birthday Cuttlebug folder

Haven't Updated in Awhile

I've seriously still been fighting being sick for almost a month now. I think it's almost gone (knock wood).


Here's a card I did last weekend that I totally cased from a card adonbrook posted over on SCS.

I liked how it used a bunch of the new in colors, so I gave it a try. I think it was my first time making a square card since I started :P


Stamps: WOW Flowers (SU)
Ink: Basic Black, Red Riding Hood, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette (All SU)
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Pacific Point (all SU)

I love the new stamps!

I love, love, love the way SU has made their new stamps. No more cutting required. All you have to do is push out the stamps (the rubber is die cut around them) and mount them on the blocks. I did like 10 sets that I got last week in about an hour (while watching TV). Only one set I got is the old way, and it's still waiting to be mounted :P
