St Paddy's is comin.

I love the different holidays, I cased this card off of splitcoaststampers. Not alot of deets as it's been awhile since I blogged. The stamp in the middle of the clover is from SU. To make the clover I just used the large heart punch from Stampin Up. Punched out 3 hearts from green DP and voila, a clover.

Spooky witch

Just a quick, simple Halloween card that I made. nothing to write home about.

it's a joy fold card, which you can find the tutorial for here

The card bases are basic black and pumpkin pie, the orange polka dotted DSP is from Micheals, the orange and black DSP is from SU's last year Halloween paper. I matted with old olive. I found this stamp set "all hallows eve" which I am in love with, the witch comes from that set. Topped it off with a paper clip and some black ribbon.

Tri Shutter cards

Guess what new tutorial I just tried? the "Tri Shutter". I can't find the actual tutorial that I used but here is one on SplitcoastStampers. If I do find the one I used I will change the link.

All supplies used are SU unless noted (or I forget)

The cherry card's base is Certainly celery, the DSP is Rock a billy, I stamped the cherries from Tart n Tangy with heat and stick powder and then used MS glitter, matted on real red.

Motorcycle card base is only orange, DSP is New Jersey Shore, inside mats are garden green and not quite navy. I stamped the motorcycles in garden green and not quite navy, used the colour spritzer with the same colours.

Halloween Easel Card

Yes, more Halloween. I am sure I will get sick of is soon and will stop making Halloween for a bit. This is called an Easel card, I finally made one and am love with them.

All supplies used are SU unless noted.

The base of the card is old olive card stock, followed by a mat of elegant eggplant and then the DSP is from last year called Cast a spell.

I stamped the BOO from the Best Fiends stamp set in basic black on pumpkin pie, punched out with circle punch, then layered over Cast a spell, basic black, elegant eggplant. My sister was kind enough to give me some orange ribbon.

The tutorial for the Easel card can be found here

Witch way??

I have been busy camping this summer and am back, so of course I had to start making stuff for my favourite holiday.

Not many deets, the witch is from SU stamp set called "Best Fiends".

More motorcycle

It's my husband's birthday today, I am not sure if I will give him this card or the blue motorcycle one from the posting down below. I got a sneak peek at the new Stampin Up! catalogue, happily the prices have gone down a bit on the new stamp sets!!

All supplies SU unless noted.

Card base is Dusty Durango texture, I matted a piece of EK Sucess' Harley Davidson DP on basic black.

I stamped the new SU image on whisper white and matted on basic black, put in 3 silver brads and "Bob's your uncle"!

His & Hers

Got some new rubbah, get your mind out of the gutter, the new motorcycle stamp from SU's new summer mini. Had to have it. So do I post these in Harley Davidson or just in Cards.....hmmm??

All supplies SU unless noted.

Whisper white bases, pacific point & pixie pink for the mat, Rockabilly DSP for the next mat.

I embossed the motorcycles in black on whisper white paper and the silver mat is a piece of scrap I found at my sister's. Sponged the edges of the white in pacific point and pixie pink.

Sparkly cherries

With it being so beautiful out it is hard to sit at a computer. I got some of SU's Rockabilly paper and this is what I came up with.

All supplies used are Stampin Up! unless noted.

Card base is real red, the cherry paper is from SU"s Rockabilly, I matted on old olive and used one of Stampin Up's new punches for the border.

I used the scallop punch in old olive. I stamped the image in glue, actually my glue pad was dry so I used the blue glue zigpen and "coloured" glue onto my stamp and stamped on whisper white. I used the cherry stamp from Tart n' tangy.

Looks around (whispering voice) I used Martha Stewart glitter to put on the cherries. The ribbon is real red 5/8".

Blue Baroque

I have to say, I looove this card, I have done it in red and pink also and I am sure it will be done in many other colours.

All supplies used are Stampin Up! unless noted.

I borrowed the butterfly image and embossilit (Beautiful wings embosilit)from my sister so I can't remember the names of the butterflies, if you look in the comments maybe she will be kind enough to post.

My card base is tempting turquoise, brilliant blue mat, then whisper white.
I stamped the swirly gig from Baroque Motifs in tempting turquoise and the flowers from Baroque Motifs in brilliant blue. The stamped butterfly was inked in tempting turquoise and then the edges were rolled in brilliant blue ink (rock n roll method). The other butterfly is a die cut using a SU embossilit. I then jazzed things up with some bling from the dollar store.

Easter

I really wanted to try and post 3D things, but that can't always be the case, so you will see me blogging more often, but it will be mostly cards.

I recently discovered fun flock and thought the would look great on Easter images.

All supplies used are SU unless noted

Both cards use the image from "A good egg"

Colours used were tempting turquoise, yoyo yellow, pink passion, and gable green. The DSP is a retired one called Rainbow Sherbert

Brads are tempting turquoise and SU rhinestone ones. I used a glue pad (not SU), stamped my image then pressed fun flock onto.

Valentine Card

Valenines day is just around the corner, I came across these ideas and thought they rocked. All supplies SU unless noted.

Base of card is pretty in pink, all the DSP is from the new SU mini is Sending Love. Other colours I used are real red, very vanilla, and chocolate chip.

I used both tag punches, and the 3 trio flower punch

The tutorial for the tag card can be found here , scroll down a bit)

Feeling down??

Don''t think that I have mentioned that I have started selling my cards out of my Mum & niece's sub shop. Here is one I made today.

The only SU part of it is the image, and card stock, that's all the info...but I wrote down my measurements in case you wanted to make one too. It is a great way to show off paper you like.

Tempting turquoise mat is 4 x 2

DP is 3.75 x 1.75

Rose red mat is 2 x 3

Holiday treats

(Insert BS story why I haven't blogged in awhile here)! I got the stamp set "Sweet Centers" from SU http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=116521 and am diggin it. You can only get it until January 4th, 2010. Keep that in mind. I am thinking about having a class using it shortly after the holidays. I used the sweet treat cups with it too. There is another set coming out in the mini that uses the sweet treat cups also.

The paper is ww, garden green. The DP I have no idea. I also made this card with a slider so you don't have to wreck the card to get the candy out.

Christmas cards

Up for your viewing pleasure today is some hot Christmas cards, I did this with my splurge group last year and just loved it. The strip that the trees are stamped on is a paint chip (looks around and whispers) you can get the paint chips from just about any store that sells paint.

Cut the paint chip strip to the size you want, I then inked up SU Lovely as a tree in whisper white, stamp your image, lift up and stamp a little over top what you have already stamped, I embossed with iridescent ice. I used the mat pack to poke holes around the edge of my card stock, then used the white signo pen to make it look like faux stitching. Stamped a Christmas sentiment from Sincere Salutations.

Tart n tangy buttons

Another card using Tart n tangy, I am so glad I didn't decide to sell this set.

All supplies used SU unless noted.

Base is ww, matted in rose red, rose red ribbon, old olive marker, couple of no namie buttons, and the DSP is....hmmm, what's the name, raspberry tart!

Splurge spoiler-don't look if you don't want to see what we are making
