Butterfly Sympathy Card

Here is another sympathy card I had to make. I hope this will be the last one I have to send for the year! You know how that goes. I used inkadinkadoo's Gem Stone Insect Stamps for the Butterfly. It was heat embossed with gold and I rolled the edges to give more dimension to the wings. I used Martha Stewart's border punch in two layers. I love her border punches. I save up my Michael's 40% or 50% coupons and pick one up whenever I get there. I also love their $1 bin and the sentiment stamp was purchased on my of my excursions from it. I used my Nesties Labels 1 (2 sizes) and Sm Square (2 sizes) and the Cuttlebug mesh embossing folder. I glittered the Butterfly's wings with stickles and put some bling with the rhinestones. The paper is from Scrapworks called "Formal Affair".

This is a busy week for me, my social calendar is jammed pack......what a hoot. I am enjoying not working. I am doing everything I ever wanted to do but was too tired!!! lol I have lunch with a friend today and I am also working on a dessert for book club today. I will post a picture here if I am successful getting it put together. It's a bit of a challenge....but I am up for it. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card. Have the best day possible!

Dragonfly Sympathy Card

Here is a card I made yesterday. It is with great sadness that I say that my dear friend Lynda, whom I posted here that I sent the Bunny Card to, passed away on Monday morning of pancreatic cancer. My friend Cheryl told me that on Saturday they were making plans for the three of us get together this Friday night for a pajama party with Lynda. She took a turn for the worst on Sunday night and God took her home. I am sending this to her daughter and family.

This card was made with my cuttlebug using the embossing folders and a cuttlebug die for the white scroll pieces around the sentiment. I embossed the black card stock with the paisley embossing folder but you cannot see it in this picture. I took this picture outside this morning, but it is so windy and cold it was the best I could do. The stamp is from Inkdinkadoo's Gem Insect, the paper is from Stampworks Formal Affair. Spellbinders die cut labels was used as well as flower punches, rhinestones, ribbon, and stickles that were used on the flowers and dragonfly.

Thanks for looking. I should have more cards here this week.

Happy Easter!

I know, I know that Rubber Stampede Bunny again. But gosh, she is so cute I could not resist doing several variations in cards with this stamp. This card was so different from the others that I just wanted to share it. I used two Martha Stewart border punches, the scallop and the fence. The Happy Easter and eggs were some stickers in my stash. I used stickles on the flowers on the bunny again, of course!

I got my cardmaking and scrapping area organized yesterday. So I should be on a roll with cards. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter!

Easter Bunny is on his way

Today's card is done with a Diane Marcum stamp called Miss Bunny. This card was sent to a good friend of mine who is sick to let her know I was thinking of her. I embossed the card front with a cuttlebug embossing folder, I used Martha Stewart's frond and branch punch and prima flowers. I also had the dimensional Spring title in my stash and I stickled the bunnies flowers on her hat and her pink bow.

Here is another version using the same stamp. The flower was made on my cricut with the Martha Stewart frond and branch punch. The Happy Easter sentiment is a shaker sticker I had in my stash. The bunny has stickles on her hat flowers and pink bow. This is such a cute stamp, I love the expression on the bunny's sweet face. Hope you enjoy looking at my cards. Will see you with the last of my bunny cards tomorrow. Do you think I might have my Mojo going now????

Bunny Abundance

Here is another variation on the Bunny Rubber Stampede stamp I did. This one I sent to my Mom in Connecticut. She just got out of the hospital again on Monday. I just love the spellbinders dies. The ones used here are the long square and filigree. I punched out some flowers with punches I had. I used tiny rhinestones for the center of the flowers. There is stickles on the flowers and the flowers and carrot on the bunny.

Speaking of glitter, I am infatuated with glitter. I just love it and am known to spray it even in my hair. I always get compliments on my hair when I spray the glitter. Everyone tells me how shiny and healthy my hair looks. I use the Herbal Essence fine glitter spray so people don't think I am over the edge with the glitter. lol It's just my little secret. And, yes I do own the bath and body works spray body glitter, of course. Have you ever seen roses that have been sprayed with glitter...absolutely beautiful. Having a little sparkle just seems to liven everything up. I like glitter on just about everything except my food. ROFL So basically what I am trying to say is that all the cards you will see here are going to have glitter on them.

So off I go to do some more bunnies! See you tomorrow.

Bunny Mode here in Georgia

The "Girls" in all their glory. We are in Bunny mode here at our house in Georgia. Just looking at these bunnies makes me smile. I wish Hallmark still carried the Bunnies by the Bay. I just loved them and take these out every year.

Hallmark Bunnies by the Bay: Cricket

Hallmark Bunnies by the Bay: Miss Wisdom

Hallmark Bunnies by the Bay: Nettie Confetti

Here is Buttercup (a Boyd's Danbury Mint Doll) with a bear dressed up like a rabbit with today's card I made. I used the same Rubber stamp from Rubber Stampede with a different size card and color variation.

Easter Bunny Card

Today, I tried to get my creative Mojo going again. I have sort of been putting it off. I have been wanting to do my crafts but it seems like I don't have it together yet. This is a card I made today to send to my Mom's friend for Easter. The bunny is a rubber stamp from "Rubber Stampede", the flower was made on my Cuttlebug with my spellbinder flower die. The leaves are Martha Stewart both frond and branch punch. The Happy Easter sticker is from a set that I got about three years ago. The rhinestone flowers have an adhesive backing and something I picked up a Walmart years ago as well. The sentiment inside the card reads as follows:

Would you like to know a secret?
Well, I'll tell you one I know:
The Easter Bunny's coming,
My Mama told me so.

He'll bring a basket filled with eggs
And leave it in my yard,
And I will find it Easter morn,
If I look very hard.

I shouldn't tell my secret,
But I think it should be shared.
You ought to know that Bunny's coming,
So you can be prepared!

I found this somewhere on the Internet a couple years ago. I don't know where. Thought it was kinda cute so have used it in my card.

See you tomorrow with another card!
