Shaker Home Card - H2H Challenge Stamp Your Own Background

Cute A2 housewarming card for the H2H challenge.

I really like the colors...and that little lamp stamp is super cute. (I'm not sure which stamp set the inside sentiment is from?)
The cut of the card is a little different from the norm.  Its much higher up in the front (shorter) so it doesn't sit well on a desk without support...but it looks really cute.
I love shaker cards. 

Anyways, enjoy!

A Warm Welcome Coaster Card

This is a little coaster card. 
They are really easy to make and look super cute.  You can make them as simple or elaborate as you like.  For some I've added pull-outs to both sides making a mini-album.  Others I've left them just like this...  The dry embossing on the side makes them really look like a little book. 

The size of the card is about 4 x 4.

Red, White and Blue Star Card

I had a lot of fun creating this card. Something a little out of the box for me...

This card was created for a number of challenges. First for Laura's super fun sketch 52 for 2S4U.  Then for the Shabby Tea Room Challenge. And finally for the Just Us Girls Challenge.

I used quite a bit of different stamp sets for this card as well. 

Hope you like it!!

H2H Challenge - Second Entry

I hope we can enter this challenge twice? When I saw these cards I thought they would be perfect for the challenge...

Attached are a few cards showcasing one of my favorite stamp sets...Love Birds! I love the colors of these cards and the font on the "Somebirdy Loves" - so pretty.

The technique I used here is dry embossing-one of my favorites.

For the base card I embossed the lines using my handy-dandy cutter.

Then for the mats I used my cuttlebug.

For all of the cards I used my fiskars scissors and my liquid pearls...=)

Enjoy!!

H2H Challenge - Technique

So for my technique I chose embossing...

That is a technique right? I love to emboss - no matter what you are trying to do when embossing it always comes out perfectly - even when you mess up. I've found that the CTMH embossing powder works the best for me - and believe me, I've tried others...

I embossed the leaf and then tied twine around the image and some matching cardstock. I dry embossed the paper behind the leaf with my cuttlebug and punched the border. I stamped the sentiment on some cardstock and matted it with cocoa. Then I glued everything together.

Another Owl Card...

I really like this stamp set--the owl is just adorable. At first I thought I could only use it during Halloween but I've been finding it to be so versatile. And just look at those big owl eyes...who can resist them? This card took some time because of all the cutting...but other then that it was simple cutting and pasting. Enjoy!

Whoo Loves You!!

A2 Card using two CTMH stamp sets--I love the owl set. I cut out the little label using my cricut. Stamped the images and used my sponge to dab in some red & brown. Used the same patterned paper for the inside. Sorry, not sure if its Basic Grey for sure. Sometimes I only buy one sheet and I forget to jot down the name... I love the sentiment on the inside - it fit perfectly with this set.

You Rock!!!

I made this card for a few of my nieces. You can't really tell but the cards are really sparkly.

Except for the little strip of paper on the inside of the card...the entire card was stamped with the You Rock CTMH stamp. To get the guitar to look a little psychedelic...I inked the stamped with a few different inks...the color came out fabulously.

Somebirdy Loves You!

A2 card with some cool patterned paper and one of my favorite stamps from CTMH... I matted some of the patterned paper with some cardstock and added some organdy ribbon. Glued the papers onto the card. Cut out the border using my handy dandy scissors. Added a strip of the patterned paper to the inside bottom of card so it would show in the front. Added some liquid pearls. I stamped the image and sentiment on some white daisy. Cut out the birdcage and matted it (otherwise it got lost in the mix) and I added some sparkles to the edges. Cut out the sentiment and punched with the corner rounder and added some sparkles. Enjoy!!
