Cards and Tags, oh my!

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Wanted to share some cards and tags I did over the weekend. I was really on a roll this weekend, cranking out some cards for the PC Magazine Stamp It call. Fingers crossed!

My first card and tag I did for the current contest over at Hero Arts: Love, Hugs and Kisses!

No sentiment card, I really liked it without one. On this card I used the Patterned Heart from HA. I LOVE this stamp! I stamped it with Distress Inks and finished it off with some twine from The Twinery.

For my tag, I used 3 stamps - Hero Arts Newspaper Background, Old Letter Writing Background, and Heart Winged Butterfly. I distress the background with Distress Ink Evergreen bough and colored the butterflies with copic markers. Finished this off with some twine from The Twinery.

And for this tag, I used some Unity Stamps. I just got the bees and love them! Finished it off with some twine from The Twinery. As you can tell, I love twine! This card is for the Ribbon Carousel challenge, non-traditional colors.

Thanks for peeking in today! Have a great week!

I will be at CHA from Sat-Wed, if you want updates from CHA join my twitter - the link is on the sidebar.

We are sharing more sneak peeks of my new stamp designs for Your Next Stamp and today I would like to share with you a card I did using some of these images.

I used some Echo Park 6x6 Dots and Stripes to paper piece the balloon and clouds. I just love EP papers.

This screams happiness and cheerfulness! I love bright colors.

I hope you will run over to Your Next Stamp blog HERE and see more previews from my fellow DT members.

A sweet little birthday card using my stamp set "Whoo's Birthday" designed for The Craft's Meow! I used 4 colors of twine from The Twinery for this card.  And copic markers to make the background and color the images.

Here's the whole set:

One of my favorites I have done for TCM, especially the owl whos upside down hehe.

Hope you love this set!! :)

LOTS of things to share!!!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a fabulous weekend!! Mine was filled with lots of sleeping and pain pills. My back went out again when I slipped on wet leaves after the rain this weekend. I slept my life away this weekend trying to heal myself. Today I felt much better and was able to get this post done and a couple of extra goodies. My studio makes me so happy so I love to just go in and sit and read a magazine or book and hang out. I have to share more pictures, I have done LOTS more to it and added lots of great decorations and projects. So I will stop now, lol, but I want to share what I should have shared already. 
First, is a card I did for the Handmade Holidays Blog Hop with Clearsnap, The Twinery and more. I am so sad I had to miss it because I was out thanks to my injury. I really just cant catch a break with my back. I hope going back for another shot in my other side will fix everything. The shot I already had in my back is helping a bit but when I tweaked it yesterday it made it really sore. So needless to say I missed the hop but I still want to share my project with you.

I used some of these fun Design Adhesives from Clearsnap and some marschino twine from The Twinery. The design adhesives are great to use with the Clearsnap glitter. I had fun playing. I also sprayed on some SmoochSpritz for the background. You should check them out, they are great fun!

....

Next I did two cards for the current IPPITY CHALLENGE

The challenge was to make a MINI creation - my cards are 4x3.5"

I used the super cute Quotes a'la Happy by Ippity :) LOVE this ippity set! And I paired it with A Bit of Burlap ippity set. :) I colored the jar with Copics, was fun to color this stamp.

I used the You Deserve set by Ippity - from my Ippity chick - Jen Johns, be sure to check her Ippity sets out!! Shes great! I colored this with Copics and used a gel pen for the center.

....

Next I did a card for the current UNITY CHALLENGE - Autumn Harvest!

On my card I used the super cute stamp - Love Build a Home. One of my fav stamps! I did it with an autumn theme and paired it with some stamps from Quotes a'la Happy by Ippity.

I did another card with this stamp too, just for fun since I had the stamp out :)

....

Thanks for letting me share my projects with you today! I appreciate you stopping by to visit!

Have a wonderful week!!

Hugs! :) :) :)

This, that and more!

Hi everyone! Hope your having a great week!! Just wanted to share some creations with you today. First is a card I did for the current Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge - A Polka Dotted Hullabaloo. And this is also for the current Hero Arts contest. These challenges worked great together with the TT inspiration and the masculine challenge. 

On my card I used Hero Art stamps - Everyday Sayings & Circular Designs. I inked them up with some Hero Arts ink and Memento. 

For my next card, I created this for the Unity Stamp Co. Challenge - Birds.

For this card I used Unity Stamps from - So & So Loves and Could I be any Cuter? I colored the bird with my Copics and finished it off with some twine from The Twinery.

....

Just a bit about what I have been up to, been so busy with web designs, DT work for my own and others and planning out the remodel of my studio. Im so excited, I cant wait! I have been wanting to do this for a long time and I will finally be getting the chance. I will take before and after to show what I did but its going to take time because I want it to be just what I have in my head for how I want it done. The hard part is tearing apart my studio and moving it, eek! I have so much stuff! First thing is first, we have to have the air conditioning on our house looked at. If that costs too much I will have to put the remodel on hold. Summers coming and we need to make sure its working good.

Thanks for peekin' in and letting me share my creations with you!

Have a great day!

:) :) :) Jenny

Embellish and more to share ...

Hi all :) Hope your enjoying your week! And I hope the weather where you are is nice like we are having this week, our weather is awesome right now ... in the 60-70's with lots of sunshine! I love feeling the sun on my face, I so miss it on those cloudy days!

Also ... if you could please say a little prayer for my best friends Mom... she is not feeling well and we all love and adore her, shes a sweetheart. So we would appreciate it if you can spare a little prayer!

I've also been super busy planning our trip and birthday party for my daughter, she going to be hitting the double digits this year at age 10!! You would think with her 'tude' that shes 13! lol We are planning to go to Universal Studios and then she wants to go to the American Girl (dolls) cafe that they have in Beverly Hills, CA. So thats the plan is to take her and her bff ... her friend has never been to Universal or Disneyland so we are taking her along to experience it for the first time .. so fun!

Now onto the goodies...

Just sharing a little card I did for Embellish Mag Color Trends Challenge HERE.

"Parachuting Hearts"

... Here I used the beautiful colors of twine (Pink Sorbet, Caribbean, Peapod) from The Twinery, a heart punch from Marvy, Cloud dies from Papertrey Ink and a sentiment from Unity Stamp Co.

And I owe you a winner for our giveaway! (so sorry been sooo busy catching up from CHA) so I will post our winners tonight!

We dont have an IKEA in our town so we went to the closest one. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE IKEA!! They have some of the best stuff. We got her dresser, and we picked up a few household items and I got those little glass jars... ya know the ones that PRIMA flowers come in from Michaels... the one that the jar faces you? I got them for $4 for 4, what a steal!! I love them. I organized all my PTI buttons in them and it worked perfectly! I should have bought more LOL but im sure I will go back down there I want to build out my office into a studio space for crafting.

I also visited the Unity Stamp blog and saw that I was Recognized on Jimmi's Sunday favorites post! YAY! From my card HERE ... you can see and visit the blog HERE ... its so nice when your hard work is recognized. I really loved the stamp I used on the card...
