Birthday Stamp Camp

I haven't been able to post much lately, so I thought I'd share these four cards I demonstrated at my last stamp camp. I've been wanting to stock up on birthday cards so we did 6 different designs.

The first one here we used the Big Shot and Butterfly Die, I never get tired using either one. :o) I wrapped strands from the baja breeze grosgrain ribbon around the butterfly then tied in a knot.

The card below I cased from someone in our SBStampers group, not sure who did it but I just loved the color combo and simplicity.

Several of the ladys love their martinis, so they got a kick out of making this one.

Sorry to make this so brief, I'll have more to post later. Have a great week....can you believe it's already June? Geesh!

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #18

Here's my card for Karen's challenge. You can check out her blog here. I have to admit, I made a little boo boo, that's why the ribbon is wrapped around the one corner. Don't you just hate when you're done with a project and then you have a whoops! I dropped the stazon ink pad right on the edge of the card. I liked the way the card turned out and didn't want to re-do it.

I did a little watercoloring on this one, using the aqua painter and ink pads. I need to use this technique more often, I really like the look of it. Thanks for looking!

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #32 - Twilight

Alright, so I'm a HUGE Twilight fan! LOL, like so many of you I'm sure. :o) My friend called me last night and told me I had to check out this challenge, click here, and design a card for it. I had such a hard time coming up with something for some reason. So, as my son is playing baseball in the rain as we speak, I got this idea to do something with baseball since that's something the Cullen's like to do. I added a little bling on the baseball cap to make a 'C' for Cullen, added the heart on the baseball and then the quote from Edward when Bella asked him about vampires liking baseball? So, there you have it :o) Thanks for looking.

Birthday Party Project

Hello there! A few weeks ago I was invited to put a little stamp camp together for an 11 year old girls birthday party. These are the projects we came up with. A little box using the Big Shot and #2 Box die and a couple little 3x3 cards. There was about 11 girls and we managed to have them all complete their projects in under an hour so they can continue on with other birthday festivities. They all had alot of fun!

Mojo Monday #85

Happy Monday! No baseball tonight so I jumped right on this weeks Mojo Monday contest and created this card. Hopefully the bit of bling isn't too overpowering, I've been using more of the colorful rhinestones lately. Also, I pulled out the color spritzer tool, I don't know why I don't use this more often, it gives a pretty cool affect...can you see it around the cake image? LOL!
