Butterfly Kisses

More modeling paste and stencils on this card.  This time I colored the modeling paste with my stampin' up reinkers.  It's a bit messy and you can't reuse the paste once it's colored, so it definitely takes a bit of practice.  That said, I am fairly happy with the card overall.  I wanted a more vibrant green, but I now know which reinker not to use next time.  

I am shooting photos outdoors as much as possible now.  It's so nice and bright on our back deck, and it's wonderful not to have to haul out the extra lights, background, etc.  So you'll be seeing a lot more of my backyard in the weeks to come!

You Are My Sunshine

Happy June everyone!  It's the first day of this glorious month, glorious in that my youngest is celebrating a birthday this month.  Below is another card I made a few weeks ago but just got around to photographing.

You Are Never Too Old

Verve stamps!  I was on a Verve kick back in the day.  Okay, so back in the day was only like a year or two ago.  Anyhow, these stamps fit perfectly for what I had in mind so there you go.  Pulling out the old stuff, making it work - you like, no?

You Are My (insert awesomeness here)

New Papertrey Ink crafty goodness!  I couldn't resist and it's all Kimberly's fault.  I have been very good at not shopping but a friend MADE me go look at the new releases and then I HAD to have this die, and well, the rest is history.  You know how it is.  Here are a few cards I made playing around with my new stuff.  I am especially thrilled to finally be able to use the corrugated paper that DCWV bestowed upon me when I was a member of their design team.  I adore the bright colors and this die cut through it oh so well.

Hugs for You!

More of Graphic 45's Bohemian Rhapsody.  This is such pretty paper.  Sigh.

More Randomness . . .

A few more cards I made over the weekend playing around with some new stamps.  This first card features  a floral stamp from Stampin' Up using the emboss resist technique.  Those gorgeous hearts are new wood veneers from Studio Calico 

I used a Simon's Says background stamp for the arrows, and a Provo Craft embossing folder.  The sentiment is from Cas-ual Friday Stamps.

It's a Whimsical World

I am still playing around with my new DCWV stacks.  This one is called Whimsical World and it is gorgeous.  Love the bright pinks, greens, and there are a few cute reds as well.  The pattern on this paper was so cute it just needed a little embellishment.  A cute stamp, and the leftover circles from the card below.  I also used one of the new Cuttlebug embossing strips.  Love these, and I'm going to be using them as much as possible.

Hello There Chickadee!

And the cards keep coming.  I made this one using DCWV's brand new Chickadee stack that should be out at Michaels.  This is a new type of stack for DCWV - it's 6 x 12, it has a decorate edge and it is double sided.  Uh huh, just what you've always wanted.  I am a huge fan of these 6 x 12 stacks and new mat stacks.  This card was so simple to make I used the decorate edge for the base and cut the rest of the shapes out of spellbinders dies.

The stamp is from Technique Tuesday and the embossing folder is from Lifestyle Crafts.  This ribbon is one that Brandy just bought for me recently.  I have actually used it all up between two projects already.  That never happens! 

And one more card from Chickadee - as you can see I really adore this stack!
