Happy Anniversary

October marks 5 years that My Happy Place has been open.

We, therefore, planned an anniversary crop.

One of the things we decided for the crop,

was that we should have a card for everyone to make.

So I worked up this card and made up a kit for each participant.

I used a variety of embossing folder to emboss white card stock.

I then cut them into squares.

I hand drew the hearts and cut them into templates,

 traced them onto card stock and hand cut them,

before running them through the Cuttlebug to emboss them.

 I think it's easier to handcut the shape before it's embossed.

I stamped

"Happy Anniversary" (#9004) from Eureka! Stamps

onto the same card stock as the background

and added a piece to the bottom that was punched

with a Fiskar's border punch. 

This was attached to the card with foam tape.

 

Thank you for stopping by today.

I hope my card has inspired you in some way. 

Leave a comment if you will and come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Love Bear

Hello everyone and welcome to my post for the newest

QKR Stampede challenge.

This weeks theme is "Animal Madness"

I chose to use

"Love Bear" (#10604) from QKR Stampede

for my card.

I just love this little guy.  Is he cute or what?!?!

I colored him with FlexMarkers, fussy cut him

and attached him with foam tape. 

The yellow card stock was embossed with an

embossing folder run through the Cuttlebug.

 

Wouldn't this make an adorable card for a new baby?

Or maybe to hide for one of your children to find? 

It would bring a smile to my face if someone left this for me.

 

QKR Stampede, not only has lots of adorable bear images,

but they also have many other animal images

to choose from in unmounted red rubber

and digital format stamps.

Why not stop in and see their wide variety of stamps?

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you got some inspirations and will join in the fun at the QKR Stampede blog where you will find all the particulars about the challenge and more 'animal' inspiration.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

In from the cold

Hi blog fans!

Today I have a card I made with

"Shelf" (#33203) from Biblical Impressions

I colored the "Shelf" image with FlexMarkers and cut it with a Spellbinders die and the Cuttlebug.

I inked the edges with Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick)

For the card base, I cut 2 of the same size shapes

with the Spellbinders dies,

the back one I scored about 3/4" from the end.

I adhered the 2 white pieces together

at the top with ATG tape above the score line.

 Folding back the card on the score line allows it to open clean and easy.

 

Biblical Impressions

has lots of really lovely images

that come in unmounted red rubber. 

Stop in and see what they have to offer.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Love Words 2 cards same stamp

Hello!

I'd like to share a couple cards with you today.

I used

"Love Words" (#15717) from QKR Stampede

and heat embossed this lovely image onto white card stock.

With both cards I used Distress Ink

(Worn Lipstick above, Tattered Rose and Antique Linen below)

over the entire piece of card stock.

The embossed area resists the ink. 

Above I simply added a bit of ribbon for embellishment.

On this card I used some craft tape from

Recollections at the top

and a button from my stash at the bottom to finish off my card.

This is the first bit of craft tape I've used and I'm really loving that stuff!

You'll be seeing more of it on my cards in the future.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my cards. 

Leave a comment if you will and let me know which card you like better.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Patchwork Glove

I'm not a huge fan of winter,

in fact, I really don't like it at all

and the older I get the less I like it. 

BUT I love my mittens! 

There's just something cozy about wearing a nice warm pair of mittens.

Maybe that's why I loved this image right away.

This is

"Patchwork Glove" (#84207)  from

Biblical Impressions

I made this little card to use on a gift.

It measures abut 2 3/4" x 2 1/2" so you can see that this is a

fairly small image.

I stamped it onto white card stock twice.

I colored the heart and cuff on one and cut them out,

then adhered them to the other mitten image.

Why?  You may ask. 

Well to be totally honest, it was one of those situations

where I had a chance to be more creative.

I always say,

"there are no mistakes, just chances to be more creative."

Yeah, that's right, I goofed! 

I colored outside the lines and it didn't look good,

so I colored another mitten and "got more creative" with it. 

Once I "got more creative" I fussy cut the image,

put it onto blue card stock and fussy cut it again.

I adhered it to the card base with foam tape.

I inked the edges with a coordinating Distress Ink (Broken China)

and called it done.

 

I'm glad you popped in today!

Stop again soon.

You never know what I might have to show you.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
