Pansy by PSX

Who loves purple?!!

This beautiful stamp is by PSX and came out in the 1990s. PSX is long gone, so if you see it, get it! The papers are from Violet Silence by Stamperia.

I first colored this stamp back in 2011. Then, I ruined it with uGly embellishments. This time, I kept the card simple. Nothing a perfectly picked ribbon and simple color scheme can't do! 

Oh, and machine stitching. I used hard core pencils to color it this time. 

Probably Staedtler, Loew-Cornell, and American Crafts.

Hummingbird by Stamps Happen

I bought a new house two years ago and have since ditched my Canon in favor of my cell phone. I really, really need to work on photography. Even with editing, they're just falling flat.

 

Moving on. This glorious, gorgeous, wonderful stamp is by Carolyn Shores Wright for Stamps Happen. It is long discontinued, so if you see it, buy it!

I used oil based pencils to color this image. I love that you can get a million oil based pencils online. In a zillion different brands. From 12 pencils to 200 pencils. Anyway, I used machine stitching and a Micron pen to support this stamp. The papers are from Anna Lee by Prima.

Birthday Series

A card crafter can never have too many birthday cards!

I believe most, if not all, papers I used in this little series is from Capture Life by Echo Park. Punches make the scraps go a long way! I used my hexagon punches, cardstock stickers, and a micron pen to put this one together.

Punches, die cuts, cardstock stickers for this card.

I do love frames and enamel dots. When I don't know where to start with layers, 

I start with a frame.

June Bug Card Collection

June Bug by Basic Grey was released in 2009. Is that vintage in the 

magical world of scrapbooking? What is the oldest thing you have used lately?

I used my Silhouette Cameo to make this box. The file is called 

A2 Lori Whitlock Card & Envelope Box. 

I do love her files!

Do you have a favorite Lori Whitlock file?

The bright and bold presentation of this collection makes me smile!

I had to get creative with cuts so that I could get my layers stacked up. I was working with mere scraps on this project.

Clouds and banners are the fast lane to fun cards. I use a circle punch to cut pieces for the banner. I fold the pieces in half, ink the edges with 

a black brush tip pen and add twine.

Enamel dots are a great way to add that one little bit more to any project.
