Love is In the Air!

This is the season for Love so get your creativity going by making a love card! The front is designer paper with some yellow twine placed around holding a stamped and punched heart. The red word love gives the card a focal point and some real pop of color. Then the button and bling was the finishing touch. The inside of the card is covered with coordinating designer paper and there is a large heart punched out of the center giving you a place to write, (sorry no picture)  I think it it LOVELY! 

Prom Night! !

This card was so much fun to make! Stamp friend Betty came through again and printed these for me. You cut the items out and then add pop dots to give the  pieces dimension. The rose and the girls dress have about four layers and really look beautiful in person. Youc an use the technique with your stamps. You just stamp five images one for your base to glue to and four to add on the top! This is your assignment if you accept it! Get inspired and get to stamping! I would love to see your projects too! debsegler@gmail.com 

Key to my Heart!

I was stamping with my friends and we had been seeing Valentines cards on blogs so we jumped in and made this one. The stamped heart was Bettys stamp and   
I really liked the textured look it gave the card.  We layered the card stock behind the heart and added the cute little doily for a lacy trim.  The border is wasi tape jut love that stuff!  he red key was punch out  from a kit but you can even stamp a key if you wanted to.

Better Than Therapy!

Hello friends! I have been off the blogging trail for a while.  I have a ruptured disk in my back and will have surgery soon.  I have been playing some but mostly just trying to make it till my surgery. Here are 3 fun cards to get you back in the swing of stamping too! The butterfly card is a design from my friend Lorna she had this all embossed and punched for us to make and I just love the colors and design. The card stock is embossed with embossing folders and cut into strips about one inch thick, then a punched butter fly is added at the end with a few pearls to form the body of the butterfly. This punch is a stampin up punch and I will be happy to order all of these supplies for you just let me know. debsegler@gmail.com or 979-255-0377 

This pretty girl was a copics colored card from my friend Debbie, she colored it and I designed the card. She is a little blurry in my photo sorry but in person she is clear and beautiful! The thinking of you is a stamping up stamp set and has a cute flower, coffee cup, and some sentiments in the set. It pairs with the checked roller and WOW is it cute together! So, add this to your order too! 

Thanks to my friend Betty this flower card is a stamp up stamp with a variety of sentiments, you will love it! We stamped the flower three times cut it apart and layered it with pop dots! It has bling in the center colored with sharpie markers to give it that extra punch! So, be inspired and feel free, to copy!

Scene Cut Out

I made this scene card at Bettys and she had ordered the kit from the UK! It is so pretty and when held up to light looks like a light box.  I want to try to make some with my electric cutter too! Had to share this great design and thanks to Betty for the fun gift!

Let It Snow ... SNOWMAN

This card was my stamp friend Lorna's design she made for us, and it is just a blast to make and very easy. I stamped with white craft ink on the red card stock the snowflakes. We used a large circle punch for his head and cut a orange nose free hand. His eyes are black dots and his scarf is staminup ribbon. We added bling to the snowflakes centers and glued onto a navy card base.  I think this is a great card for guys too! 

No Botox Needed

This little bird is telling me to get my act together for Christmas! We are iced in and I have gotten my   tree decorated and working  on the cards to mail out! This bird has been printed twice and cut out and the pine cone and birds hat have pop dots under them for a 3-d look. I like the bright colors and hope you do too! Pick a card you want to make and stamp it twice so you can give your card a uplift with no botox!   

Embossing folder Background

The embossing folder gives the background depth and textures and a special focal point. I love sunflowers year round! Hope you’re smiling an...
