It was a Sizzix Week!

 The Adore card I made for our exterminator who just had a baby girl. I used my BigShot with the Sizzix framelits, stamped and embellished (broke out the paper tagger). On the bird flourish card I used my Sizzix Eclips (love this cutter, but wish it worked with Make the Cut) to cut the frame, stamped and added rhinestuds. And my favorite card this week is the Birthday-Grad card..on it I used the new Sizzix Diffuser oval. I traced the oval on a post-it note, put it on the card front then stamped, embossed with the diffuser and candle embossing folder.

I purchased the Bustier Purse/bag pattern from Cre8ive Cutz. It was new in the store and just in time for a Bridal Shower gift. Everyone at the shower loved it! I also bought a book (The Wrapping Scarf Revolution) on using scarfs for gift wrapping.  I made the scarf using fabric I had, cut to size (30x30) and put a rolled hem on it. I truly enjoyed wrapping this gift...LOL

More card sharing

Having fun making cards....I've been using a lot of rhinestones and embellishments on my cards. I haven't colored much with my Copics, especially skintones, but I have lots of them and figured I needed to start using them... more cards coming soon!

Tinks - My Scrapchick file

The card above I made using a paper piecing file from MyScrapChick it's the Tinks file...but I changed it a bit...the word art came from TLC. I really enjoyed giving the card my own look. The other two cards are my simple cards. They were printed, put on background cardstock and then I added diamond glaze for a lipgloss effect, ribbon, and flower with a stud.

I don't know if blogworld is for me. But it's the one place I can post my stuff to share and then just add a link for others to see. Today I'm sharing my steampunk girl card (the metal on the card is jewelry) and think card (image was a freebie designed by Tracey Malnofski); to color I used chalk, and Copics for the lips and eye then added some stickles.

I've been working on a wedding album - it's a gift for a friend...so once it's gifted I'll share pictures.

Well it was a four day weekend and things didn't go as planned. Oh well, life goes on. Anyhow these are couple of tumblers I made..the zebra print was a challenge, but I really like how it turned out.

My version of SPS Frosted Window

One of my favorite websites, Splitcoaststampers, shares tutorials on every Wed. Every now and then I'll try a technique out. This one is my version of the Frosted Window .
