Hello Reeta

This is Reeta from The Greeting Farm. Isn't she just beautiful with her cute little kitten? Reeta is one of the newer stamps from TGF. Their girls just keep getting cuter and cuter.

I did a simple layout for this one. I just used a cut from the Top Note Die cut with my Sizzix Big Shot. Can you see the glitter on her hair bow and her eyeshadow? It shows up very sparkly IRL.

It's Friday and I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. I am stamping with some good friends at my house tomorrow. Check back for more fun stuff. Thanks for coming by to visit and I'll talk to you soon.

CPS115 - Froggy Flowers

Hello and happy Wednesday. I have another SU card for you today. It follows the Card Positioning Systems sketch from Monday CPS115. Another bright card, of course. I don't think I can do anything but bright.

I used the A Flower For All Seasons stamp set. I love frogs and this set is just too cute. I started out with a White card base and used Georgia Peach as my designer paper. The coordinating colors are Regal Rose, Old Olive and So Saffron. I stamped the main image with Black Brilliance ink, embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder and colored it with Copic Markers. It is cut out and mounted on Circle Nesties. The bling is a Prima Flower with a Designer Brad in the center and it is finished off with Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon.

Thanks for checking me out today. Hope you are having a wonderful week. Talk to you soon.

SFYTT - SU Card

I seem to be losing some subscribers and I have a feeling it is due to not using very many SU stamps in the last few months. Just to let you know I am going to try and use at least one, if not two, SU stamp sets a week. There are just so many stamps out there I like. I made two cards this evening with SU stamps but I am only posting one today along with another that I used Hanna Stamps on. I hope you like them both.

The SU card uses Jen's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT) for this past Saturday. The Hanna card was put together not following a sketch.





Thanks for taking the time to check me out today. See you tomorrow with another card. Talk to you soon.

Hanna Stamps Sneak Peeks Day 3

Here is set number 3 that is being released for Hanna Stamps tomorrow. It's called Pool Party and it has tons of cute images for summer fun. I can't wait til the pool is opened, not much longer now. Woohoo!!

I started with a Tempting Turquoise card base and used Pink Flamingo for my designer paper. The matching colors are Real Red, Summer Sun, Cameo Coral and Tempting Turquoise. Great summertime paper. I stamped 3 different images from the set (a boy, a girl, and a dog) all on their floats in the pool. The images were mounted on a piece of white cardstock that was cut out with Long Rectangle Nestabilities. I sponged Tempting Turquoise Ink on the main image panel to make it look like it was the pool and then each of the images were cut out and mounted with Dimensionals. How do you like those 3 Glitter Brads on the bottom right side of the card? I think they are some cute blingage!!

I have one more set to show you on Monday and then the Release Party is Monday night at 9pm on SCS. Don't forget to show up cause you don't want to miss all the fun.

Now check out what all the Design Team Members have come up with and I will see you back here tomorrow. Talk to you soon.

Hanna Stamps Sneak Peeks Day 2

So what do you think about this new Riley that's being released this coming Monday from Hanna Stamps? Isn't he just as cute as the one I showed you yesterday? This is BBQ Riley and he decided to cook me some hot dogs. Yeah!! I tried (not sure I succeeded) to make this card look like a picnic table cloth.

I started with a Real Red card base and used a small piece of designer paper from the Ghostly Greetings pack behind the main panel. Riley was stamped with Black Brilliance Ink, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, colored with Copic Markers and cut out with Oval Nestabilities. The background was created by punching Red and White cardstock out with a small square punch and mounting them on black cardstock. I used the word window punch for the sentiment but made the panel a little longer than the punch to better fit the sentiment and bling. It is finished off with Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon.

We are on day 2 of our 4 day sneak peek with it all ending with the Release Party on SCS at 9pm Monday night. Come join us for a lot of fun. Now go check out what the Design Team members have come up with.

Hanna Stamps Sneak Peeks

Hello and Happy Friday!! I have a wonderful announcement. I am one of the May Guest Designers for Hanna Stamps. Woohoo!! I am so honored that they asked me to help showcase their stamps this month. Starting today and going through Monday you will see sneak peeks of their new May releases. Here is a fun new Riley going swimming. Isn't he the cutest? As warm as it's been here lately it feels like swimming weather.



This is one of two new Riley's that is being released this month. I started out with a Green Galore card base and used Rainbow Sherbet for my designer paper. The coordinating colors are Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal and Green Galore. Riley was stamped with Black Brilliance Ink, embossed with Clear Embossing Powder, colored with Copic Markers and cut out and mounted on Circle Nestabilities. The sentiment is from another one of the new releases that I will show you on another day. It was stamped and cut out with the Large Oval Punch and the Scalloped Oval Punch. I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch on one of the patterned paper mats. It is finished off with some Green Grosgrain Ribbon and some Designer Brads.

Check out the Design Team Members to see what wonderful samples they have in store for you.
