Tag from Okie's Cricut Files!!

I made this tag for a swap (shhhhh...I have not sent them yet...lol.....had to share so Okie could see, though). This is from the cut files Okie shared with all of use with her adjustable scallopped designs....thank you sooo much Okie.....you are such a gem and you are sooo talented! I can speak for many and say thank you and we love you!!!!!!!! Hope you like my tag!! Thanks again for all of the creativity and designs you share with so many of us!

Big Shot Card....

I made this card using the Big Shot. I used the large scallop circle die. I also used the Stampin' Up! exclusive Birds and Blooms sizzlits large flower die for the little sheeps head and feet.....I love this card......he is just so cute......or maybe he is a she since she is on a pink card! lol

Butterfly Card



I am learning how to use my brayer....this is one of the better ones I have done....I think I am getting the hang of it!
Cardstock: Whisper White (background for front of card) and Bashful Blue
Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes, All Holidays and the butterfly stamp is from Martha Stewart's clear butterflies stamps.
Inks: pumpkin pie, really rust, summer sun, bashful blue, night of navy and basic black.
I colored the butterflies in with co-ordinating Stampin' Up markers and embossed them with clear embossing powder.

Bella's Bloom

This is the first card I ever did with the markers where I actually colored the stamp and "huffed" on it to get it damp before stamping......It turned out beautifully!!! (I truly had my doubts...lol)
Stamp: Bella's Bloom
Cardstock: Whisper White, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue and Not Quite Navy designer series paper (hostess set)
Ink: Not Quite Navy and Stampin' Up markers pumpkin pie, old olive and barely banana
Ribbon: pumkin pie and bashful blue 1/4" grosgrain
Accesories: scallop edge punch, ticket corner punch

Scraplifted Card!!



This card was completely scraplifted from Michelle Zindorf. I ordered the stamps and followed her instructions. I cannot, nor will, I sell this card.....I love it, though. Thought about giving it to my sister for her birthday but then I can't look at it anymore! lol

Hand-painted card....


it is what it is......hand painted.
I love to paint but there is no market for it so I bought some acrylic paint paper and thought I would give this a shot......tuerned out pretty good, I think. Oh, I should tell you this was for a contest that called for an autumn themed card....
