It's Coffee Time!

Hi everyone!  Today's card uses a new coffee themed stamp set from the Celebrations line called Cup for Two.  Do you spy some Fun Filled Rings as well?  Yep.  Couldn't resist adding a few pink rings to compliment my pink polka dot cup!
 This stamp set has 3 adorable cup designs and 2 sentiments.  I stamped the polka dot image in the Captivating Coral ink (which seriously has magical qualities of appearing pinkish next to pink and more coral-ly next to coral and oranges!), fussy cut it out and added some sequins for steam and a heart embellishment.
Here is Cup for Two:
Don't forget Fun Filled Rings:
That's it for today!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here's a close up picture.

Quick and easy birthday card

Hi everyone!  Today's card features another FUN new card front die from the Celebra'tions line.  This one is called Happy Birthday and you may recognize the elephant and presents images which are also in the stamp set, Your Day which I used on this card.
 I love these new card front dies!  There are 4 different designs released, Happy Birthday, Eat Cake, Celebrate and It's a Party and they all make cute and detailed card fronts with one pass through the Grand Calibur.
I dressed it up by sponging Versamark ink to the openings and embossing with glitter EP and then added an extra layer of flowers.  But it's just as cute if you cut them and leave as is.  Either way they make quick and easy cards!!
 Happy Birthday card front die:
 The flowers on the die match the stamp and die set, Just Because, so I stamped and embossed a couple more for an extra layer on my card.  I also want too mention that the elephant from the stamp set is slightly smaller than this die cut.   My idea was to stamp him on top of the die cut, but it didn't work out.

I wanted to give a quick update on my vertigo.  Thank you again for all your emails and comments.  Things slowly improved after my last course of meds and then reached a plateau.  I am functioning at about 80% and still get dizzy with laying down, getting up and looking up.  I am currently looking for a local ENT doc without an appt window of over a month.  Sigh.. things are never simple, are they?   Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here is a close up picture.

Love card

Hi everyone!  Today's Love card features all kinds of new Celebra'tions goodies!  First of all, there are new HEART shaped dies with piercing elements.  Pierced heart dies?  YES please!!  Oh and did I mention there were new Pierced Star dies?  Yes to those too :-)
 I used a piece of the Special Occasion Prints patterned paper and frame it with a heart die cut opening to make this simple wedding/love card.  I added a couple sequins and enamel heart for embellies.
Here are the lovely new Pierced Heart dies.  Happy sigh...
The sentiment is from the set of 3 word die sets called All You these measure around 2":
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here's a close up picture.

Happy birthday elephant

Hi everyone!  Today's birthday card features the adorable elephant image from Celebra'tions Your Day stamp set and he is framed by the Framed Canvas embossing folder with an oval cut out.
This little guy makes me smile!!  I paper pieced each present with a different patterned paper from the Celebra'tion Prints pack and I accented it with some of the new sequins.  Another reason I like this elephant is cause it's easy coloring - I basically colored him with 2 grey Copic markers, a touch of light brown on the ground and called it done.  Oh and paper piecing the presents = no coloring.  Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Fun filled green rings

Hi everyone!  I want to thank everyone for the well wishes, comments and emails after my last post.  Sadly this new course of meds does not seem to be helping with my vertigo, so my next step is to see an ear specialist.  Fingers crossed!

Today I am sharing another card using the new Celebra'tions release.  You can check out the entire Celebra'tions collection here! 

My card uses the cute new die set called, Fun Filled Rings.  It's adorable!  The set has 9 circle rings that all nest and have varying widths!!
 I cut my rings in the various green cardstock and patterned paper and made a fun bulls-eye card!  The sentiment is from the stamp set # Tweet.

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here is a close up picture.

Celebrate the new Celebra'tions release!

Hi everyone!  Long time no post.  It's been almost a month since I posted because sadly I've been suffering from chronic vertigo due to an inner ear issue.  I've been to doctors, chiropractors and even got an emergency root canal thinking my molar was causing the ear issue.  Nothing has taken this away yet.  I started a new course of medication yesterday, so keep me in your thoughts.  This experience has given me a new found appreciation for people who have to live with chronic debilitating issues of any kind.

But enough of that!  Today I am sharing one of the several Celebra'tions cards I made for the Spellbinders booth at CHA (which won the award for the BEST booth of the show!!).  The newest stamps, dies and papers from the Celebra'tions collection have just been released and they are amazing!  Be sure to check the entire new release which has new patterned paper, sequins, more stamp sets and LOTS of dies!!
 I used the new Decorative Card Front Confetti Plate and it is ah-mazing with endless possibilities including Swiss Cheese -lol!  I die cut it in white cardstock and adhered some of the new patterned paper and coordinating cardstock behind the openings.
Here is Confetti Plate:
The flower and leaves are from the Just Because stamp and die set.  The Celebrate sentiment is from the Fun Sentiment die set.

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here is a close up picture.
