Mini Slimline Egg card

I did a lot of masking on this card. The stamp is from Michael’s and I colored it in with Copic markers. The sentiment is a stamp by Stamps of Life.  The ribbon is by Martha Stewart.  Thanks for looking
Challenges:
Cutie Pie Challenge-Begins with a B (Bunny and butterfly on the ribbon)
Love to Scrap- Anything goes
Simply Creating-Spring colors
We Love Stampin-Stamping with Spring
Fab 'n' Funky- Lots of layers (layers of eggs)
Never Before Used stuff-AG with something you've never used before. That stupid ribbon has been in my baby girl folder for years. It was brand new because I thought it was just for babies until I looked again and 3 out of the 6 ribbons can be used for Easter.

Manly Monday Hold Your Horses card


The horse stamp is and I've stamped it with brown Stampin Up ink. I die cut the image and it's next larger die by Spellbinders. I inked the white cardstock with distressa ink, blue on top and brown on the bottom with Ranger's distress ink. The patterned paper of the die cut behind the image is by Papertrey Ink. This card came together when I found the horse image (Inkadinkado) in a drawer. It’s a drawer of images that could be referred to as any of the following: misfits, projects to be finished, or maybe I was stamping one so why not stamp a bunch of them. Whatever the reason that I had extra stamped horses that is my card for today. For other examples using horse stamps check out  my links.

Sew Lovely Border to Background cards



The border stamp that I used to make a background is by Stampendous. I upcycled a thank you card from the funeral home. They have a nice dry embossed frame. 
The card above was stamped with black ink and colored in with Copic markers. Then I matted the panel onto red and black cardstock before adding them to the base. The sentiment is a Fiskars stamped in black on red cardstock.

For the card above, I used different ink pads on the same border stamp using the following colors: SU Daffodil Delite, SU Pink Passion, Hero Arts Tomato, SU Ballet Blue ink pad infested with other blue inks, and the last blue is HA Cornflower. 

I heat-embossed a Lawn Fawn sentiment, pink powder onto the vellum. (I used vellum because I was covering up an oops but didn’t want to cover up my background.)


  

Do you see my error? Thanks for looking have a great day.

Manly Monday Emoji Poop belated birthday Card

The inside of this card says, "Poop! I missed your birthday". I used my Cricut to cut out the 💩. The embossed background is an Impresslit from Sizzix. It cuts out the center square as it goes through the machine to emboss.  I inked the raised area of the background with distress oxide and that’s it. This die/embossing folder would make a good shaker window.

Did you know...that the Oxford Dictionaries declared emoji as the word of the year in 2015?

Hearts Patterned paper Love you card

The patterned paper is by Recollections, and the hearts were cut out using dies by eBay, Papertrey Ink, Cricut, and a punch by Creative Memories. The I Love You stamp is by Forever in Time.
My card today was made as an example for my niece. Last month she did a collection for the American Heart Association. I sent her some card stuff so she could create some awesome thank-you cards for those people that donated.
