Wherever You Go

 Hi Everyone,

I realized I was super low on birthday cards in my stash, so I quickly had to throw one together for a boy. 

 I chose a candle embossing folder with big candles and stamped the beginning part of the Wherever You Go Birthday Greeting that was die cut and embellished with some green ink. 

  To make the card personal to the recipient, I attached the baseball glove image that was stamped using the Four Corner Sports stamp, and made sure I used the team colors for the card as well.

To finish it off, I simply added some glitter glue to the candle flames.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

To the Moon

  Hi Everyone,

I was inspired by Nancy's card from a couple of weeks ago and decided to use the same Love You to the Moon Greeting for my card today.  

I went with a literal interpretation of the darling greeting and stamped, and heat embossed some stars, stamped and fussy cut the earth, and used a circle punch to make a moon.  I attached those using some dimensional foam tape and added some punched hearts between the earth and moon, finishing it up with some glittery glue.  

The exact stamps for the sky and earth can be found here:

Love Bug

  Hi Everyone,

I had a bunch of red and pink papers floating around my crafting table after making this card here, so I thought I'd continue with the Valentine theme for today's card.  

I started out by stamping the Silhouette Branch and then gluing a bunch of punched hearts to make a little valentine shrub.  I die cut and added a mat and attached it to a die cut banner.  

Trying to decide on a sentiment, I really liked the little hearts that are part of the Love Bug Hug Greeting, but the words didn't match the shrub.  I fixed it by stamping and fussy cutting the Love Bug 

After assembling the card, I added two pink gems to finish it off. 

Stamping hugs from me to you!

Hogs and Kisses

 Hi Everyone,

I'm on my way to celebrating the next big card making holiday with today's card.  I think we may be ready for it sooner rather than later, since my husband wanted to stop by the local chocolate shop this past weekend.  Not sure how I managed to resist the temptation, but I said after all the Christmas eating, we need to wait for Valentine's at least! 

This "Cupig" is just a favorite stamp for making Valentines.  He's cute, easy to color and I love being able to add glitter to his little wings!  I attached him with some dimensional tape to some layered die cut circles and added the Hogs and Kisses Greeting to match.  

The background was created using the Interlocking Hearts, and an embossing folder of lips to match the kisses portion of the sentiment.  A punched border and a row of gems finished it off. 

If you need to get started on Valentine's cards, DRS Designs has all the stamps you need in the online store!

Happy Stamping!

Cheers!

 

 Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I have a modest card-share to celebrate this brand-new shiny year.  It was a fast make since I kept it monochromatic, and swirling snowflakes, instead of confetti, ended up being the theme :-)

I stamped my background panel using the Interlocking Snow Background and punched out a bunch of snowflakes, so that the cream-colored paper would peek on through.  The Best Year Cheers Greeting was stamped on a panel and attached, leaving room for a couple of stamped and fussy cut wine glasses, which came from the Pour Me Bottle and Glass stamp.

For embellishment, I attached a few of the punched snowflakes and added gems to their centers.

Happy New Year to you and yours!
