Huffing Technique

I was playing around with a few things awhile back. This is a card made with the Stampin' Up! set called Upsy Daisy. It is a great set that you can use for a bunch of different types of cards and also try different techniques. This technique is using our fabulous markers to color the stamp and then stamp the paper after huffing on the stamp to remoisten the ink. Stamps all the color at once!

SIL's Birthday Card

I know it's been awhile since I posted and I'm sorry for being gone for so long. This is the card I made for my sister-in-law for her birthday last month. I hope she liked it. I really like the look of the color scheme on this one.

Stamp sets: Friends 24-7, Sincere Salutation
Paper: Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White
Ribbon: Retired SU Choc. Chip

Get Well Pauline !!!

A very good friend of mine had surgery last week. Her husband is out of the country, so I took her to the hospital and spent all day there. She had to have a colostomy operation. Sh has had to have this done in the past. No fun thing here!! This time the operation put her down a little longer than in the past. She is still in the hospital but hoping to be home by the weekend. Her Dr. says "one day at a time". While she was in surgery I had packed up my little blue convention tote full of goodies. I figured I might as well be creative to keep my mind from wondering. Plus I was hoping to entice some of the others in the waiting room! A couple were curious, but that was about it.

These cards are the same except for the sentiment. I had to take a photo of the get well card with my cell phone since I was giving it to Pauline and I had forgotten my little camera.

Birthday Card for a Nephew

I made this card a couple months ago for my husbands nephew who lives in St. Louis, MO. It turned out OK. Nick turned 8 I think on his birthday, so he's right at that stage where you can't use grown-up stuff, but you can't use "little kid" stuff because he's a big boy now.

Cardstock, Sage Shadow, Creamy Caramel and Bravo Burgundy.

Ink: Sage Shadow

Accessories: Cuttlebug Numbers Collage Embossing folder, Brass brads, dimensionals

Today is my husband's birthday

Today is my husbands birthday and this is the card I made for him. I used the Sale-a-bration set from this year called "So Many Scallops". The background is embossed with the cuttlebug "Tiny Mosaics" embossing folder. I used Night of Navy, Brocade Blue and More Mustard cardstock. A very simple card but he loved it all the same!
