Love the Citrus Colours!

Hey everyone, well how about that two posts done in one week! Tonight I decided to challenge myself and make AND complete a single card in one hour with no sketch at all. So this meant I couldn't be fussy like I typically am. I purchased this new matstack and dove right into it as it has all my favorite colours (aka anything bright!)

Bunny Basket

As always it usually takes me forever to finish a project and once again it did. I spent 9 days making this cute little guy, durning my free time in the evenings. He was suggested to me by my dear friend, Juanita. Who so graciously sent me the link to view him! He is CASEd, though I totally changed him up from the two originally versions.

Here is a closer view, everything is pop dotted;

Giftcard Holder {Seize the CuPcAkE}

This is such a cute tiny little card, it took me all day to make and wow is it ever heavy! First I made a mock template to see how this would all work together then I created the good version. I am adding this to my girlfriend's birthday card, this is a gift card holder and more my style of card making...

The gift card holder base is made out of light blue cs, then the middle was punched out with the word punch and circle punch to make the opening for the gift card to fit inside and the back inside edges are glued. I then framed all the inside areas with light pink cs, and layered them with the designer papers. Added ribbon and a sentiment, and used the oval punch punches. For the front of the card I stamped my cupcake image, and colored it with copics, cut it out, added the liquid applique and glitter on top of it while it's wet, and hit it with the heat gun to watched it puff up. And last but not least gave it a heart gem rhinestone on top for some bling.

Simple, I can do it! 3x3 Inchie!

I didn't think I could do it but this is as simple as I can get. Even createing a 3x3 inchie was hard enough for me to do. I'm kinda on a {cupcake, owl, monkey, baby} kick lately and thought this would be a nice birthday card for my girlfriend at work for whom I must share and show all new items that come in. She creates just wonderful simple cards and I find I need to color and layer everything, and have some form of business in my style of cards. Thanks for looking...

Upsy Daisy - Happy Birthday

This was my first get together with my new SU! group, and man can you tell I had fun. My card looks awesome, so that means it's good enough to blog AND to pass on to a deserving friend. I think my dearest friend Shirley (aka Group Demostrator) designed a beautiful card for this months get together. Great colors, great stamps & to top it off, I even learned a new technique... Wowzers!! {Happy Dance}

First off cut your whisper white and certainly celery out using the top note die cut. Trim away the preforated line of the white top not die cut, and stamp your upsy daisy image close to the top. Also leave enough room at the bottom of your white die cut to add your sentiment near the bottom.

Place some ribbon around the white top note, 1st layer is white organza, 2nd layer is pink & 3rd layer is silver elastic cording. I took my white top note die cut and pop dotted it only my certainly celery top note.

Here is a closer look:

Next, using the background image pretty petals. Color the different images using SU! Markers, then stamp a piece of whisper white paper. The backgroup image was then glued onto a piece of certainly celery and attached to the base of your card.

For the embellishment, the butterfly image was stamped with versamark ink and embossed with silver embossing on silver paper. Punched out with the 1" circle punch, and pop dotted onto 1 1/4" circle punch of certainly celery. Some pink ribbon is glued to the back and I pop dotted my embellishment onto the front of the card. {I love those pop dots}
