Sagely Crazy for Cupcakes

This morning I attended my Thursday morning MOMS group and had two cups of coffee and then topped it off with a cup of black tea (along with a wide variety of snacks, of course). Let's just say I have a bit of a buzz going on. LOL So on that note, here is my card:



Just a note about the cupcake: I actually stamped it three times. Once on patterned paper (cut out cupcake minus the candle), then on white card stock (cut out only the top part and candle) and finally again on the sagey coloured card stock (cut out only the candle stick). I cut a small slit in the "white" cupcake, glued it on top of the patterned cupcake and then stuck the sage candle stick slighly in the slot of the white cupcake. Does that make sense? I hope so..... Hmmm. I am thinking how I could have explained that differently. Must be the coffee.....


By the way, I used tweezers to handle the beads and get them on top of the dabs of glue. Very tricky. :)

One Last Yeehaw!!

Okay. This is the last cowgirl card that I have. But hey, who knows, I might decide to make a few more. I just LOVE the stickfigures. Maybe because that is how I draw and can relate. LOL

This is was a very quick and simple card to make. I did add a border to the inside of the card to jazz it up a bit. Sometimes it is nice to have a simple card! The cowgirl stands out and says, "Hey dude, look at me." :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Cowgirl (clearly wordsworth)

Paper: Basic Black, Designer Paper (Basic Grey), Embossed Card Base (DCWV)

Ink: Black Stazon

Accessories: Scalloped Edge Punch, Paper Snips, Tombo Liquid Glue

More Cowgirls

As you can see, I am still on this cowgirl kick. I have one more to post. :)

A couple details about the card: 1) I stamped one of the Itty Bitty Background stamps (one that has more uniform polka dots) on Not Quite Navy card stock, then stamped the cowgirl on top of polka dots and cut out the dress. Then I glued them on the girls of the main image. 2) Also, I masked the middle girl so that there wouldn't be arms and legs sticking out everywhere. Get it?? Stick people sticking out. Yeah I know. It's a stretch. LOL

Supplies:

Stamps: Cowgirl (clearly wordsworth), best wishes (Studio G), Itty Bitty Backgrounds

Paper: Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Naturals White, Designer Paper (Basic Grey)

Ink: Close to Cocoa, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Black Stazon

Accessories: Navy Organdy Ribbon, Blender Pen

Clearly Cowgirl

My cousin asked me to make her some cards. She is a cowgirl at heart so I knew immediately which stamp I wanted to use.... the cowgirl from my Clearly Wordsworth set. Love that girl!

If you look carefully, you will notice two small cowgirl charms hanging from the ribbon on the first two cards. During the Christmas holidays, the boys and I were doing Shrink Art as a craft and I made these cute cowgirls. Very fun.

Inspired by Nature with Earth Elements

I made this card for my mom's birthday which was at the end of December. It sort of has an Autumn look to it doesn't it? I LOVE this set....probably because cone flowers are one of my favourite flowers. Love anything in the "daisy family"!! Ah, summer seems so far of....it is -28 Celsius right now.

Just a note: I don't have markers in every colour so I used my blender pens to colour on the stamp. (To do this, squeeze your ink pad while closed; open it up and there will be ink on the lid; now use your blender pen to pick up the ink and "wha lah" instant marker). Just remember that the blender pens will give a more washed out look than markers will.

Supplies:

Stamps: Inspired by Nature
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Ruby Red
Ink: Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Accessories: Blender Pen, Crop-o-dile, Pewter Jumbo Brads, Scalloped Edge Punch
