Snow Many Snowmen!

So, I have really been trying to use up some of the things I have...many I have just been holding on to for that "perfect project".  I created these cards with a sheet of stickers that I have literally had for years!  The were a little boring on their own, plain vellum stickers.  I put the stickers onto white cards stock, cut it into fun shapes, and added glitter...lots of glitter.  Remember, I did that before?  The card bases are from a premade glitter card and envelope set.  I added a strip of white border punched with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch, scrap of pretty designer paper, and a snowflake brad.  Simple, but I love them....the sparkle on the sticker just transforms them.  

Hope you are having a crafty day!

Trying Something New....

So, one of the groups that I am an administrator for needed an angel for a swap.  It was a technique swap that I had not signed up for as I was pretty busy, but....you do what you have to.  The technique, Retiform Grid Technique, really didn't look very interesting to me...However, I love this card!  I used a CTMH
 set of stamps ( Art Philosophy - Celebration) and inks in green, purple, and pink.  For the cupcake, I water colored it with a blender pen.  You can't see it in the picture, but I added a little sparkle to the "frosting" with a Gelly Roll glitter pen.  I then pop dotted the sentiment and added the little crochet flower, button, and twine - all from my stash.  I think I will probably try this one again.  

Happy Crafting!

A Little Chocolate Now and Then

So, this is one of those cards that was created as I went.  I knew I wanted it to have a pocket for some chocolate, but other than that.....I just went with it and this is what I ended up with. 

A tri-fold box card with a place for chocolate and a message.  I ABSOLUTELY love how it turned out.  

I made the chocolate bar by layered squares with pop dots.  I added a piece of foil just like a real candy bar.  
The sentiment I created on my computer.
all the papers were from my scrap basket.  

This one was created for a swap and I did not take notes on measurements....guess I will have to make another :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Brrr.....Card

Just a quick share today...I was playing around with some stickers and this is one of the cards I created.  The snowman sticker is one of the vellum type, so I placed it on white card stock.  I ran the image through my xyron so that the image was sticky, and then I covered it in Diamond glitter.  I covered the glitter with a sheet of scrap paper and ran the brayer over it a couple times and then dusted off the excess.  Pretty!  I didn't think it needed much since the image was so sparkly.  Fun way to really transform your stickers!

So, what are you crafting today?

Sketch Fun

Just a quick share today as  my 'To Do' list is a mile long!  I joined in a sketch challenge on a FB group....I liked the sketch so much I made 4 of the cards to build my stash back up.  Bonus, I used all scraps!  Love my scrappy, sketchy cards!

Hope you have a crafty Monday!

Dandelion Wishes Cards

Made these two cards over the weekend.  They are what I call "Scrappy Cards"...everything except the card base came from my scrap basket!  The embossed images were left over from a 'change of mind'.  They are a Cuttlebug folder.  I added details with Smooch in gold, silver, and pearl.  I then added dew drops in gold, silver,and white.   I used dimensional tape to attach the finished piece to a pre-made glitter cards.  Finally, a bow and sentiment charm to finish them off.  I have to say, I really like how they came out

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have a crafty day!
