Are you sick of all the baby cards yet? LOL! I love baby cards and will probably never get tired of them. This stamp is from A New Little Someone and is for my cousin who just had her first baby boy. I thought the sentiment was perfect and I like the simplicity of this layout.

Stamps – A New Little Someone (Stampin Up), Everyday Blessings (PaperTrey Ink)

Accessories – Copics, Brocade Blue grosgrain ribbon


It has been awhile since I have played with the sketch challenges over at SCS. This didn’t quite come together the way I was hoping, but I still had fun. I love this lemon bowl and glass of lemonade. I added dazzling diamonds to a few of the lemons for some added sparkle. The background paper is from a specialty stack from DCWV and has lots of glitter too! Thanks for looking!

Stamps – Summer on the Patio (Fourishes, LLC)

Accessories – Copics, circle nestabilities, dazzling diamonds, DVWV Specialty baby girl paper stack


This card was made using the Cricut cartridge, Storybook. I cut shadows of the tree branch, bird and corner swirl out using black card stock. The label was also cut using the same cartridge and the sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink. I added a rhinestone for the eye and used a Spica glitter pen (Copic) for the wing. Card base is Soft Sky (retired from Stampin Up) and is one of my favorite colors.  I will be sad when my supply runs out!

Stamps – Spiral Bouqet (PaperTrey Ink)

Accessories – Cricut Expressions, Storybook cartridge, Spica Glitter Pen, rhinestone, Basic Grey Figgy Pudding DP


This is another retired set by Stampin Up! I think this bunny stamp is too cute and works equally well for boys and girls. It also makes really cute charms with shrink plastic. Babies are a big business in my family (LOL!) so I’m sure these cards will get used soon!

Stamps – A New Little Someone (SU)

Accessories – Nestabilities, satin ribbon, copics, Basic Grey DP


I must be in the mood for Fall, as the orange colors have been calling to me! However, I will be perfectly honest and say that I am NOT ready for Winter yet. This was a simple card to put together and I love the bright colors.

Stamps – Artfully Asian (SU)

Accesories – Copics, brads, May Arts double sided ribbon, K & Co DP


This set is an older Stampin Up set but it has always been one of my favorites. I love Fall and all the beautiful colors it produces. It’s always a great treat for my senses to be at an apple orchard, taking in the scenery and spending time with my family.  Thanks for looking!

Stamps – Lovely Leaves, Artfully Asian

Accessories – vellum, copper eyelets, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust & Ruby Red ink


Who doesn’t love hot fudge with their ice cream? I had this idea for awhile and finally was able to give it a try. It took me a few tries before I was able to get it to come together. I used 3 different stamp sets from Kitchen Sink Stamps to create this look. The cone is from Playful Christmas, the ice cream is from 3 Step Hydrangeas, and the large circle background is from Pretty Petals. I added micro beads and Dazzling Diamonds to the fudge, which you can see if you click the close up. I know the idea of green ice cream is kind of crazy, but I liked it!

Stamps – Playful Christmas, 3 Step Hydrangeas, Pretty Petals (all Kitchen Sink Stamps)

Accessories – DCWV Baby Girl Nursery DP, satin ribbon, Oregon Rain Drops, micro beads, dazzling diamonds, Wild Wasbi & Chocolate Chip ink & Copics


I know, two completely different looks! I was having fun watercoloring and wanted something that would stand out with the purple and blue butterfly. I used Polka Dot Basics for the background and Everyday Blessings (both PTI) for the Ribbon. For the Monarch I embossed some vellum and added some faux stitching for the border.

Stamps – Wonderful Wings (Stampin Up), Polka Dot Basics & Everyday Blessings (both PaperTrey Ink)

Accessories – Swiss Dots Embossing folder, white gel pen, paper piercer, Nestabilities, grosgrain ribbon


This little guy is from Pink Cat Studio. I love these animals, they’re so cute and I love their expressions. I cut out the cupcake he was holding and gave him a big cuppa joe. Some days I need a cup this big to get me going! LOL!  Image was watercolored and accented with markers.

Stamps – Pink Cat Studio, Hero Arts

Accessories – Nestabilities


Good morning! A friend of mine was kind of enough to order some extra tins for me and I promised to post them when I was done doing something fun with them! LOL! So, here is my third tin, the other two I’ll get to later.

I made this as a gift, it’s a “scrap tin”. A close friend likes to scrap, but has two young children. Well, having young ones myself I know how hard it can be to catch all those moments you want to remember. Now she can jot down those funny moments, throw some photos in, or add mementos that she can scrap later. This came together pretty easily with the coordinating paper and ribbon. I used StazOn for the stamping and used French Script (SU) and a floral set by Inkadinado for the outside of the tin. The dividers were stamped using Everyday Blessings (PaperTrey Ink). I bought the cutest little butterfly punch (Martha Stewart), punched it twice and glued them together for a 3D look, ran it through the Swiss Dots embossing folder and added it to the first divider. The tab punch is from SU, and the “K” was cut using Plantin Schoolbook (Cricut E).  I had fun putting this together!  Thanks for looking!
