Monster-ous Birthday wishes! YNS challenge #110

Wow! It has been some time since I have posted a card! It is spring break for me and I thought I would try out today's Your Next Stamp Challenge to break up the dreary rainy day. The challenge is to use pastel colors and that was a little difficult because I wanted to use a set from Your Next Stamp but I only had Monsters and a Valentine set on hand. If I win...maybe I could get a spring or Easter stamp set!

I decided to make a shaker card and I knew I had some pink googly eyes I wanted to add to it. This is what I came up with...

I used YNS sets Silly monsters and Silly Monsters two with coordinating dies. The balloon shaker was cut using Studio Katia Dotted Balloons Die and I used Lawn fawn Lawn Cuts Grassy Cupcake wrapper Die. I used Hero Arts Infinity Circles to cut the foam sheet and the cloud cardstock behind the balloon.

(I noticed that I forget to color the tongue in my other two pictures Duh!)

I used Hero Arts Gelato Confetti shaker dots but you cannot see them because they are at the bottom of the balloon...

These little guys were a lot of fun to color. Below I have a picture of my supplies and the copies that I used are shown.

And here are my supplies!

Missed the Boat

I just found out that I was REALLY late on my Nephew-in-Law's birthday. YIKES!!!! So I sat down and broke out some of my new stamps that I have had sitting on my desk for a month! I have been dying to use them, so I was really happy when I realized that I MUST make a card.

The supplies that I used are Simple Stories "Awesome"  line, Papertrey ink label 5 mat stack dies. Fiskars cloud punches and wave punch, and The Cat's Pajamas Aye, Aye Captain Stamp.

Still Catching UP!

Here are a few more of the cards that I have made over the past 4 months...

This card was made with Verve Stamps and My mind's Eye paper for a friend's Birthday.

You cannot see the music background in this card because the light is too bright. But I used Amuse Stamps and Close to my heart paper. I love te way this looks in person. the flowers have the diamond glitter on it for a sparkling effect.

This card uses stamps from Stampin up. I think the set was called It's Academic. I am not sure of the name of the paper. This was a bus driver thank you card.

This was my easter card. I love this little bunny. He is from the cat's pajamas. This picture does not do my card justice!!!!!!!! (mainly the bunny. He is so cute!)

This is my BIL's birthday card. I embossed the black with Asian Poetry from Stampin up and cut the dragon out with my Cricut. Used some bling for his eye. Paper is from Dove of the East

Quick Birthday & Thank You card

I had to make a Birthday Card for my SIL and a set of Thank you cards. I needed to get the birthday card in the mail this morning. These cards took me 30 minutes to make in total. I really like the way they turned out. I got the idea from "The Best of Card Creations" by Paper Crafts. (page 98 if you have the book)

My die cuts were from Quickutz (now, lifestyle crafts), My stamps are from Papertrey ink (Tonight is the new product reveal...YEAY!!), my embossing folders are from sizzix and cuttle bug. Enjoy!!!!

****Just a tip- stamp your image before embossing the paper so you have a crisp image.****

 

This is my card kit. I made it so that anytime I need a quick card, I just have to glue the butterfly to the appropriate saying background. When I have used up the butterflies, I will do the same idea with felt flowers to use up the card backgrounds.

Thank you for looking!

My Birthday Girl

I haven't posted in a long time!!!!! YIKES! I have been very busy organizing my craft area. One of my friends has gotten me addicted to actually organizing my stuff! YEAY! So I have challenged myself to 52 weeks of organizing my home. I have been stamping and scrapbooking for over 11 years and the amount of supplies that I have would take a fairly good amount of time to go through and organize. That would get old real quick and I would probably not get it done. So, to stay on a roll, I have decided to do 1/2 week dedicated to my craft room and the other 1/2 to a different area of my home. The scraprack website has a great guide on where to start organizing.

After going through all of my paper, as I was organizing it, I realized that I should really NEVER be allowed to purchase paper ever, ever again. Fortunately I have only found a handful of paper I really do not like, so I have a lot of work ahead of me to use up the rest! I have been working very hard on cards in between organizing. I will be posting my cards over the next few days. 

This is the card I made my daughter for her 10th Birthday. I really love Stamping Bella stamps. I hope that you like this card. I had a lot of fun making it.

School is OUT!

Today is the last day of school for my kids. They (WE) are so excited! We have lots of plans for this summer and I love the fact that I can sleep until 7:30-8 am  finally! I have just a few cards to share that I have been working on.

This card is a thank you card for my daughter's Softball coaches. I used a Stamp from Hanna Stamps for the main image.

This next card is the thank you card for our busdriver. I used an old CTMH stamp for the bus.

The next one that I have to share is a welcome baby card. The main image that I used for this one is from Mo Manning. I love her digi stamps.

My last card is a brithday card that I made for my nephew. I really like the humor in this Stampin up set. The inside says, "The chances of getting any money out of it are about one in a million."
