Two Stamped Cards

Hello There,

I have been making cards recently but I haven't been so good about taking pictures of them- since they were mailed almost immediately to their destinations

Here are some c rds that I did manage to take quick pictures of using my cell phone

This first picture was one of the many Mother's day cards I made.

I used this stamp set from Inkadinkado (Inkadinka Clings) Rubber Stamp

Inkadinkado-Inkadinkaclings Collection- Floral Bouquet

I bought these from Scrapbuck.com ages ago but never used them.

I colored the flowers with my Spectrum Noir Markers and used some Glossy Accents on the case and stickles on portions of the floral park

I actually stamped the boquet twice and cut and colored the largest flowers purple and popped them up. It's really breathtaking in real life

The sentiment is from an E.A.D designs Stickerz that I had laying around.

...

The second was a sympathy card

This was a rubber stamp that I got on Clearance at my local scrapbook store, I also colored this with my spectrum noir Markets, and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps

I just colored this and added a little bit of Stickles to the lotus flowers


Both of these cards werte on the simple side for me, but Like I said I was in a urgent rush to get these mailed ou

Hope you like these projects.

Smash-book pages

Hey Crafters,

I haven't had a lot of time this week to update on here but I thought I would share with you some of the projects i worked on recently.

I have been trying to scrap alot of the photos that have been piling up which means I finally got the chance to complete some pages in my smash book. 

You might want to click the pictures to check them out larger

Easter 2012 Smashbook pgs

I made this 4 page Smashbook layout by attaching an extra sheet of cardstock to the side of one of my pages using washi tape and then making it a flip out. 

I covered all of my smashbook pgs with Spring papers from Little Yellow Bicycle.

St. Patrick's Day 2012 Smashbook

 On these two pages I used some Green Recollections (open stock) Argyle Pattern apper to just do a quick page for St. Patty's day last year. I added a few shamrocks stamped with my Peachy Keen Stamps and Phrases from Papertrey ink Luck of the Irish Stamp set

Spring Flower Show 2013 Smashbook pages

This is one of my elaborate Pages. I used papers from Doodlebug Designs Hello Spring 12x12. I included photos in various sizes, a entire brochure from the event, a flip out section and lots of Journaling 

I hope my pages give you some ideas.
