SUPRISE!


I used Penny Black and SU stamps and a CuddleBug folder to creat this card. and some snazzy ribbon!

Card for My Mom


I made this card for my mom on mother's day. I used some SU stamps, a ScorBuddy, pearls, ribbon, and yes, that is a pin! It turned out better than what i expected! I love this card... one of m favorites!

Hello, flowers!



I used a scallop SU punch to make the flowers and hand cut each and every one of the pedals. then I used a CuddleBug folder to make the polka dotted background and a Nestibilitie to make the tag.

Have a Mice Birthday!


This is a flap card that I made for my Mom for her birthday one year. I can admit its not one of my best but its cute. I added some silver hearts and used a CuddleBug on the white background.

Boxes of Joy


I went back to Vancouver Washington on Spring Break to see my best friends, and I made them each a necklace and created a box. I used a die cut to create the flowers and put a red brad in the center. I stamped the tag which is from SU. I created the letters from die cuts.

How EGG-citing


I used colored pencils and OMS to color the owl.I used Nestabilitie to make the circle. I also used a cream ribon to tie it all together, Gina K stamps, and and two totally different kinds of background paper!

Hey Baby!



I watched Gina's video and this is the card I am entering for the challenge. I used " Just So Hippy" because I love hippos! I used the Cuttle Bug for the corners, bird call embossing folder, and the border. Since it says Hey Baby, I used glitter to put on the hippos behind to go with the shiny foil.

Summer Notebook


This is a tablet that I made with Gina K's Summer Fun stamp set. I made it in Tempting Turquoise, Only Orange, Green Galore and Summer Sun card stock and inks. I added some summer sun ribbon to tie it shut, and then added some rhinestones to give it some bling!

Beautiful Bike!

I came over to stamp with my Grandma Selma and we each completed a card using this Flower Soft Topper. We each finsihed our cards a little different. It was nice having her there to make it with! I was looking for somthing to make it 3-D and I found gold brads, and some pink butterflies, and some ribbon. Flower soft is really really fun to work with. It makes it look so realistic!

It's a Boy!



I used the Cuttlebug Welcome Baby folder for the background. For the onesie, I paper pieced the onesieout off the Wee Tee's set. Also, I used the petite oval nestablities. I thought that the buttons would be a very cute touch so I used a saftey pin button and a ''C'' block button because the woman I gave this to is naming her baby soon to be Cooper Jonathan

Under the Sea!


Cute! I used the Kaleida Color Caribbean Sea ink pad and some dazling diamonds for the sea horse. Some blingy rhinestones for the bubbles. Also adding to the under the sea theme, I put on a Gina K sea horse stamp, and some starfish and a seashell.

I was looking for a stamp for the seaweed in my Grandma's craft room but I thought and thought and grabbed the velvet rickrack to make it 3-D. Also I used white detail embossing powder to stamp the mosaic and the greeting. There is Scor-Tape for the bubbles (rhinestones), the buttons and the rickrack. The disighner paper I used on this was perfect!! It went with the whole water/ under the sea theme.

Perfect Friends




This is a card that I made for my friend that I moved away from 3 years ago. I love her oh so very much, and I am going to visit her very soon!
For the front I used the ScorBuddy on the white SU paper and some navy blue polka dotted ribbon. The green paper isn't any special paper. I just found it laying around. Then I used a SU stamp and a Nestability to make it look a little fancy. then I got little diamond jewels and some glue dots to put them on. Then I used green and blue buttons for the corners of the card. In the buttons i used embroidery thread to make it look pretty. Then I mounted that on navy blue SU paper.
On the inside, I used navy blue paper and the same green paper as the front, and a SU stamp "Perfect Friends". Then I used white scrap paper to punch using a Martha Stewart border punch. All of that came together as a pocket that I put tags in.
For the tags I used a variety of stamps and a Nestability to cut them out. Then I hand punched the hole for the ribbon. Then I used a creamy white ribbon to tie the tags!

Thanks a Bunch!



This is my first blog post, but not my first card. I have been stamping since I was 4 and I am now 13. My grandma got me hooked on stamping. I used to help her teach workshops in her home, but she does design work using many varieties of stamp sets. I will be posting more crafts not just stamping, I hope you enjoy my talent!
My Grandma also has a blog on Blogger.com you can find her at: http://selmasstampingcorner.blogspot.com/
This is a card that I made for my friends Mom. On the front I knew that I wanted to use quilt the background and wanted to have some kind of flowers on the front. I asked my Grandma to show me how to make the vellum flowers and I made 5 for my card. For the quilt background paper I used a Martha Stewart design paper and used the ScorBuddy to make the score lines. I used a Martha Stewart border and corner punch to make the lacy design. Then I used a stamp for the stem and the leaves and then attached my vellum flowers, for the center of the flower I used a small black bead. I also used a JustRite "Just A Note" I also used another small stamp from SU for the "thank you" and i used three small pearls at the bottom to complete the front.
On the inside I used the JustRite "Joyful Hearts" stamp set for my greeting. Also, at the bottom trim of the card I used the same Martha Stewart design paper.
I also made a beaded gift to go with my card for my friends mom, hope she likes it!
