travel tag

the last of the challenges I did for the split coast stampers virtual stamp night. this was embossed and colored with copics. then made a pocket card out of it. Made a luggage tag to come out of the pocket.

cuttlebug christmas

done as a geometric challenge for a virtual stamp night. there is very little stamping here except the saying. that saying is so old it is a stampin up stamp that is on foam. lol

the background is cuttlebugged on vellum. I love this look by the way. then did a sheet of red shinny paper with the cuttlebug and cut out the little shapes added some brads and mounted.

tree thumping

this is my favorite card from the virtual stamp night at split coast stampers. I love the thumping technique on this tree by stamp in the hand. This happens to be my all time favorite stamp as well. for a while it was lost I swear someone hid it on me. but months later I found it again. the words are by print works.

cheers!!!

Another split coast stamper virtual stamp night challenge. the challenge to use the same image at least 3 times on a card.

This set is from Penguin Pants Rubber stamps and I love it. I wished I would have stamped a few more lemons on it but still like how it came out. the colors are not ones I would normally use but looked in my stash for a tart and tangy kind of color.


I loved this first card so much I had to do another with martinis. I actually like the second one much better then the first.

pretty in pink

everyone knows pink is not my thing so this was a tough challenge. another card from the virtual stamp night this one had to be pink floral.

I stamped the stampin up stamps on the background paper. Added a clear sheet of acetate that was embossed with the cuttlebug. This is hard to see because of the photo but in person it looks cool. then stamped a few more flowers and colored them then added them to the top of the acetate. it gives it a good dimensional look.

Hun can you lace me up???

this is a fun card I made for a split coast stamper virtual stamp night challenge. First stamped onto paper using I think a rubber necker unmounted stamp I bought a million years ago at a convention. then colored it. Placed in eyelets using my crop o dial. then the hard part. lacing it up. grrrr took me almost all the time and I only had 45 min to finish the challenge. Had to pop dot it up because the back looks terrible and is bulky.

note to self next time use bigger eyelets. I didn't have time to do anything on the background or add a saying oh well. its a fun card
