Here is another card made with the Nature Walk set. It is absolutely a great set. I used River rock, baja breeze, Rose red and very vanilla.

I love this new Tulip boarder embossing folder too. Easy to make pretty vintagy cards.

This was a special request. For an over sized pink and feminine Birthday card. I loved making it.

The card is 5 1/2 by 51/2 square. It was made with pink pirouette, regal rose and pretty in pink. I embossed it with the elegant lines folder so pretty! I used lot's of bling, those fabulous pearls and dazzling diamonds glitter.

To do the ribbon I ran it through the sewing machine with a basting stitch, I gathered it and adhered to the card using sticky strip.

I really like how it turned out.

I really love how this card turned out. I used a colour combo of River Rock, Baja Breeze, Rose Red and Very Vanilla.
I stamped the main image with black Stazon and then cut it out. I watercoloured using the aqua painter and reinkers. I then adorned the image with the pearls. I love these, one of my fave products in the catty.
The ribbon roses are new as well in the Occasions Mini, they come in very vanilla but I used my rose red marker to colour it to match. I also adore the seam binding ribbon, so pretty.
I ran the river rock piece through the big shot with the elegant lines folder and then gave it a quick spritz with the log cabin smoosh spritz.
I love the vintage feel of this.

Variations on a theme. I really do love this colour combo. For some reason I am on a Valentines day kick. Thses are both based on the stamping 411 sketch.

I have not had time to stamp yet this week as I am working all week and have a super nasty head cold.

I was hoping to stamp tonight but I feel worse than I did at work. That's just not fair.

This sketch was a Saturday sketch challenge from Stamping 411.

They are an excellent source of inspiration. I didn't get this one posted in time. My goal is to do and link all the challenges I can this year. I can do better than last year I'm sure.

The colours are Regal Rose, Rose Red, Vanilla and Old Olive. An all time fave of mine.

I used a jumbo wheel and a 3 ink cartridge that I inked myself. The heart i stamped then cut out. I used dazzling diamonds and a few rhinestones for the bling factor.

I have a few more from this sketch to post later in the week.

Wow, I can't believe this is my first card posting for the new year and it is already the 9th. I have some other cards to post this week, but I am working.... (at a real job) this week and will be short on time. I am grateful for the work though.
This card is made from Bashful Blue and whisper white. I embossed it with the elegant lines embossing folder and then lightly sponged ink over the top of the embossed lines. The image is from the Friends 24-7 set, item number 113218.
I set a couple of rhinestones into the image for a bit of bling. Added bashful blue satin ribbon bow, finished off with a antique brad. I LOVE the brads so pretty!
For me this is a pretty simple card and looks beautiful. imo. :)

Today is the day!!! The new mini is up and running. What a great little mini this is. It is full of cool new product and great product suites.

You can click HERE to see it. It is truly drool worthy. Contact me to get your copy.

It was my friends birthday just before Christmas. It must kinda suck to have a Birthday close to the biggest gift giving day of the year. So I wanted to make her day extra special. (as well I was itching to use my new giant cup cake pan)

So I made her a cute card. (I normally don't do cute.) Using espresso, pink pirouette, and not sure what green that is. But it looked super. I used a sketch challenge but again don't remember which one. I am going to blame it on the massive blow my head took on the 21st.

The cupcake is huge and you bake it in 2 pieces. How much fun is a giant cupcake???? My kids have already put in their requests. Check it out here.

I think she really liked it........ since I didn't get a piece. LOL

Just a quick update to let everybody know, I have the new Occasions mini in hand. Let me know if you need one.

As well January 3rd is the last day to order from the holiday mini. Don't miss out on those last minute items.

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a New Year.

Hello everybody!
Just getting back to stamping. Will share a project tomorrow.
Just letting you know I will be keeping this blog papercrafting. The bears are moving over to this blog. The Grizzley Details

Hope you will continue to check out the bears as well.

Well he's been at it again. A new design and a sweet little face. I still marvel at how Mike can sit down and draw out a perfect pattern. I would need a few attemps to do it so well. The guy has skills.

This sweet little girl has already found a new home. She's living the bear's life out at Sandy Bottom lake.

The bears are entirely hand stitched. Stuffed with fiber fill and steel shot. German glass eye's and needle sculpted faces.

We have tons of supplies so there will be new bears rolling out the door soon!

Have a Beary Merry Christmas!

Well, we are certainly down to the crunch time of Christmas. Here are a few more cards from the swap I did awhile back. I got so many great cards with super ideas.

I am back home now, from being up to the city with my youngest. She had her final back surgery (lengthening) and she is excited to have that part behind her. This was her 8th surgery in 4 years. In 2011 she will go for a spinal fusion. Also we got great news about that. She has reached her growth markers so they only have to fuse from the back, not from the front as well. It is all good news.

Next week I will try to post some new ideas and some projects.

It is a snowy cold Saturday. I haven't had the chance to make cards. But we have shuffled back into an old hobby. Bear making. I googled us today and couldn't believe how many hits we had.

We are changing our name... don't know to what yet. I have already booked ourselves into a show. Happy to be getting back in with old friends.

We gave up bear making due to me having Cancer and a sudden change of address. But it is almost therapeutic to be going back to it. Now I need to get my super organization skills happening. LOL

I will be posting more bears.... but once we are ready I will have a blog devoted to the furry faces.

Wow, there are some awesome deals available. I took advantage of some of the digital items. I love a sale.

You can view the items for sale HERE

You can place an order online by going HERE or you can order by contacting me at justaddink@gmail.com

I love finding new ways to use things. This card was made using the the Mover's and Shaper's die from Stampin'Up!. I used the Ornament die from the SU exclusive add on dies.

It co-ordinates with the ornament punch. Which I punched and then ran through the big shot to emboss it with a snow flake. Add a pearl and quick as a wink you have a cute and easy flip flop card.

Quick and easy is very good at this time of the year.

I just love Neutrals. The combo of these cards is white, black and crumb cake. Very simple and very pretty. I used the flurries embossing folder for this card and then sponged the frost shimmer ink on top. I love the sticky back pearls and dotted them in the snowflake centers. A nice easy card to reproduce if needed. I used the embossing folder Petals a Plenty on this card and embossed a piece of shimmery white cardstock. I figured I had an unopened package so I better be using it. I also stamped the tree image onto shimmery white as well. Added more pearls. I think they are the best things and you get so many in the package.

The count down to Christmas is on and I for one am trying to make it simpler. I just want to relax and spend time with the family and create some new cool traditions.

We are going to search out our German roots and add a few traditions in from there.

So we shall see what we come up with.

Happy stamping!!!!!

These are some tri fold cards I made for a friend. She bought the little 3-D stickers and wanted a couple of wow cards for people.

I love making these cards so easy and and so much fun.

I embossed most of the paper pieces and sanded them. I spritzed them with Vanilla smooch as well. I love that stuff!!

I love the deck the halls paper and will have to snag more before it's gone.
