SPRING THINGS FENCE

I am really into fences and windows right now, so here is a beautiful card that I did not make! I took a picture of it but do not know Bridget Finley personally, but it is so beautiful that I wanted to show you for the pure inspiration of it! If you have a window or fence card please email me a picture and I will share with my stamp friends! The  

punched circle really makes the flow of this card draw your eye to the circle a s a focal point! It truly shows the beauty of Spring!  Thanks to the Bridget for being a great designer! 

SPRING THINGS!!!

I am so in the mood for the nice spring weather! My sweet family  has been down with the most terrible flu I have ever experienced in my life! I was lucky and did not seem to have it as badly, but it made me so very dizzy and my husband passed out and hit his head on the bath tub and hurt his ribs when he passed out! Talk about scary! I had also just gotten over a couple of weeks of a cold and allergy symptoms! I am so very happy that we are all much better and over the worst of it! This little butterfly card reminds me of the many Spring Blessings that will be coming our way! This card is a simple and elegant design.  When designing your card look for any type of punch that you can add on the card for more dimension .  We have a wonderful new small butterfly stampin up punch that I love to add on to my projects.   I also like to add dragon flies to my cards after embossing them and coloring them to give them an extra bang of color!

TWEET TWEET FUN!!!!

I HAVE JUST GOTTEN MY COPICS certification! Yea! I am learning how to color and shade and  it really gives my art work a different look.   I love to color and it serves a stress relief and artistic need that I have.  Find the stamp that you like to color and work with three shades of the same color, start with your lightest color and then shade with the darkest color.  Let me see your samples! Have fun! 

Blue Birds Make Me Smile!

I love all kinds of birds and this blue one does make me smile! I recently took a copics certification class and have learned so much about shading 

with markers.  The background is the stampin up top note die cut. The hot pink flower is stamped and then punched with the small square punch and backed with a accent colored card stock.  The leaves are stamped on to the card base and the pink flower is put on with dimensionals to give the card a 3-D look. Ihave been on the road with basketball and have not been posting so hope these give you a creative boost! Have some creative fun!

Did you EVER?

This is a card from a friend and I like the newsprint designer paper with the vintage typewriter.  I was looking for something to help get us started back designing for the new year. Did you ever use a manual typewriter? I am sure we are all too young for that right! HA! 

This is a fun card design that you can use any stamp you like as the focal point. The black card stock background really makes the sections and colors stand out!  The next card has the look of fabric squares  on a quilt piece. The designer papers have been embossed with embossing folders to give added texture. They were then punched with our staminup square scallop punch.  I know it is hard to get back in the grove but start making cards as our next swap is coming up soon. Please email me if you want to join the swap. It will be a Special Occasion Card Swap! Get to stamping! Blessings Debbie
