How great is that... Everyone can use a thanks stamp!

See you soon,

This card is one of the card I made for the YouNextStamp site. I had fun working with this lil' guy. Here is how I got those tiny clothes hug out to dry:

1st I stamped the image on the card in just the right spot.

Then! i stamped them on white paper. I dod this do the true color would show when I colored them.

3rd, I used colored pencils for that soft look. When I was done coloring I trimmed out the clothed and glued them to the line.

He is a happy clean boy, isn't he!

{Thank-you} Cupcakes

After our big kid turned 5 I could not resit making these thank-you notes!
They are super cute and easy to put together.
HOW TO...
1: Stamped the cup portion of the stamp on the designer paper and cut them out.
2: Stamped the whole image on matching card stock and cut them out.
3: I adhered the cup to the whole image.
4: Colored the cherry and the sprinkles to match the DP.
5: To make it shiny I added liquid glass to the sprinkles and a little to the cherry.

I was able to make 10 in 2 hours not bad eh?
Have a SWEET Day!

Heart time

Since I have been having some computer trouble I have 3 crafts to show.I have been working on some Valentines. I love Valentines it is one of my favorite days!

The first is a sweet candy holder. It is a simple tri-fold card . The image on the front was stamped and colored with markers. It took seconds to make. To hold the candy inside I use a slit punch to make tabs to hold the treat. The card was a little bulky so the binder clip helped to keep it closed.

The second is a Card for a Friend. I stamped the heart and filled it in with liquidglass. Before it dried I cover it with glitter. When it was dry I tapped off the glitter. I love the red and whit together.

The last craft is a "I LOVE U" Tag Banner. I wanted to make a banner to sit on our dinner table. The tags are all different. I used punch pieces and ribbon to decorate each tag. I used letters I cut using a coluzzel knife and stencil. This is a great project to use up all the random embellishments you may have laying around.

Happy Heart Day,

Shaz

Amazing Chocolate Spots

Kraft {thank you} Card

This is a card I made from left-overs. I really liked the colors on the ribbon and it was my last piece. I wanted the ribbon to stand out so I kept the card plain with kraft card stock.
The scalloped edge was hard to see so I added the small strip of aqua card stock for contrast. To make the window I punched the opening first. Then with the card closed I placed the white punch sentiment in the space. Lastly,The heart is a brad left-over from a scrap book page.

Thanks for looking,
Shaz

Quick Birthday cards

Today I made some quick cards for a friends Birthday.
I wanted something that was simple and classy. I know she likes a vintage look so I uses a retro colors and to keep it quick I stuck with just the one color on a card.
Very easy to make:
-Stamped the Background
-Stamped and embossed the sentiment.
-used a paper punch to shape the sentiment.
-Punch a white piece to highlight the sentiment.
-Glued the white piece flat to the card.
-used a foam sticker to adhere the sentiment slightly lower than the mirroring punch.
-I used a edging punch to detail the bottom
-to finish it off I tied a knot with white ribbon and rounded the remaining corners
Tres Chic!
