Hugs to a friend

Hi everyone!  I have a couple cards to share with you today.  First up is a card I made for my friend Theresa Momber!  She illustrated this fabulous Gina K Designs set, Whimsical Spring, which is a DARLING set!  I stamped and cut out the leaves image and added a couple flower sequins to accent.  The pattern paper is MME, from the Dwell 6x6 pad.  Theresa made the Spellbinders DT and this card is full of love and congratulations for her!!  

Next up is a card I made for the this week's Featured Stamper challenge honoring BeccaBatGirl, and I chose this cutie card to case.   I changed the arrangement a bit, putting the sentiment below the image. I changed up the shape of the image panel. The image is from Unity's KOM, Take Your Time. Isn't this cup YUMMY?!? The pattern paper is the new MME, Love Me 6x6 pad.  I added liquid applique to the whip cream!

I also have some great news to share.  You may have already seen this announcement, but I was invited to be on the 2012 Spellbinders DT for another year!  This is so exciting, not only do I love Spellbinders dies, but they are the most wonderful, generous and organized company to work with. Thank you Stacey, Cathy, Kim and Beth for inviting me for another year!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

P.S. the sequins are the 6mm cupped flower

BellaRiffic Friday challenges

Hi everyone!  I have a couple Stamping Bella cards to share with you today.  As you may know, Stamping Bella is now a SCS member company and they have challenges posted every week.  

This card is for Week 5 challenge, Anything Goes meaning you can use any Stamping Bella image.  I used the Daisybella image, doesn't she look great in her jeans and tee shirt?  I used the little flower dies from the Home Sweet Home set like I did with this card.  The pattern paper is Vanity Fair by MME.

 This card is for the Week 4 challenge, to make a Valentine's card.  This card uses the retired Balloonbella and a computer generated sentiment.  I added some crystal effects on the balloons and the pattern paper is Love Story from Fancy Pants.  OK, I don't proclaim to be a great colorer, so PLEASE don't study the coloring on her dress too carefully.  Especially if you look at some of the great colorers out there like the Stamping Bella DT or my BFF, Michele Boyer!  Now, they have skillz!

That's it for today.  Got lots on my plate as my oldest Daniel turns 8 tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Gina K January release inspiration blog hop: Day 3

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Final Day of the Gina K Designs January Release Inspiration Blog hop!  Today we are spotlighting the set Fresh Start, the 1 Free with Three set.  This means you will get this set for free when you order any 3 sets from the store!

I made a couple cards using the stamp set and the fabulous paper pack Wisteria Lane.  I used the same basic sketch for both.  It maybe hard to see in the first picture, but I die cut the shape out of the front of the card.  Then stamped the image on the shape and glued it to the inside.  I am fighting a horrible cold, so I am keeping this post short.

For even more samples of this new set, you can visit each of the GKD Design Team blogs listed below.  Make sure you leave a comment here and on each of their blogs because Gina is going to draw two randomly chosen winners from all of the blog comments, and each will receive a fabulous grab bag of stamps!  You can check out the Big News thread on StampTV Monday of next week to find all the winners.
