SPRING THING!

I really like this zentangle type of look on a card! This is several stamps cut out and put together.  I used pop dots to give the pieces dimension and layers. I hear you saying, I do not have any stamps like that! Well, again all you need is a couple of stamps with open space in the designs. Then you can stamp inside to give it a new design element, or doodle in your own designs! This type of art really brings out the artist in me, I like to use what I have to make something new and different.  Use a leaf stamp and add in your own squiggly line, or stamp with a paisley stamp, or even small hearts. I have you thinking now right? Please send me a picture of your new designs and remember I always send you a great surprise back! Have some SPRING FUN!

BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!!!!! Free PRIZES!!!

Hello to all of my stamper friends! I am back in the saddle of stamping again.  I have had a long break due to my hip replacement surgery. I am doing well and still recovering!  And to get back in the swing I am posting several cards today, and a new contest!   To help you get motivated, and get me some new cards to copy I am giving away a great package of stamps, card stock, bling and markers! All new and ready for you to make some new spring things! What you need to do is mail me via snail mail Debbie Segler 14916 Riverside Drive Little Elm, Texas 75068, three finished cards that I can use to make some new things from!  That is easy enough right! Your cards need to be mailed to me and received by April 28th. I will pick the winner on that day and be sure to include your snail mail address so I can mail your prize if your the winner!  This card is one of my new stamps from the last stamp show I attended in Plano, Texas. I love windows and the stained glass really is fun to color.  We used copic and stampin- up markers to color this project. I have a sneaky way for you to make stained glass look if you do not have a stamp. I still can't get upstairs to my craft studio, but when I can I will use several small individual stamps to make my own stained glass design. You stamp three in a row to form a window shape like this card has, and then overlay a window die cut to give yours the window shape. I know you all have some little stamps that you can group together to design your windows! Please email me a picture of your designed stained glass window cards!~ debsegler@gmail.com

                                                        

Just Because!

This just because turned out simple but elegant! The border flowers are from a new punch.  The little scalloped flowers

 are a peel and stick border from a kit from stamin up. Please remember if you want to order give me a shout! debsegler@gmail.com.  Just because was a stamp and the card it is stamped on has little flowers and leaves to frame in the words. I loved the colors and they all came together for a Spring Time feeling to this card. 

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!
