Wednesdays @ Creative Clear Stamps

Hello Ladies!

Today over at Creative Clear Stamps (see my side bar!) I am the DT memeber who posts!

I have used the stamp "So Proud" which is one of those fun single sentiments.

I always love to make cards for my daughter - so this is no exception!

I have also used the sketch from Mojo Mondays to give it some umph and challenge worthy style!

Scraps, scraps, and more scraps today!

Don' tyou love the freedom of scraps?!!??!!

It's Party Time @ Party TIme Tuesdays!

Its that time again!

Please come join us again for out month long challenge at Party Time Tuesdays!

All month we have had Twosdays Techniques with us and for today (so excited) - we have Baby Buds and Circle B To help us out with out sketch-shamrock-easel card theme!

LOTS OF GOODNESS TO WIN HERE

Here is my card:

My pieces of the sketch were made bigger so that they didn't look extremely tiny as I made my easel card a little bit smaller as I think a Baby Bud image shouldn't be huge - my personal opinion!

I used Jolee Embellishments from Circle B, Chloe from Baby Bud, and Lots of scrap paper!!

Creative Clear Wednesday - Cake On Fire

So I have some birthdays coming up that I needed to get ready for. I like to be done early so I am not rushing and forget something!

I decided to do the gift bag thing with a cute homemade hang tag.

For this series of birthdays I decided to use scraps of whatever, a Stampin' Up! punch, Doodlebug buttons, and of course a Creative Clear Stamp titled Cake on Fire.

Isn't it too cute??

This sentiment is sure to make anyone smile!! I love it!

Now head on over to the Creative Clear Blog and get some more ideas!!!

See you next Wednesday with more Creative Clear Ideas!

A Simple Hello

A simple "Hello" is so nice to receive sometimes - isn't it?

I thought so - and that is why my card today is just that.

I am on the Design Team over at Creative Clear Stamps and I think this is my best card yet with their amazing stamp sets!!

A simple hello spelled out using the stamp set "Sticks Alphabet"

This set contains 36 letters with duplicates of some of the most used letters - which made it easy to spell out the word "hello" - and for $12.99 that is bargain for this type of stamp set!!

I used scrap DSP to accent the phrase and a Stampin' Up! punch to detail the edges. Stampin' Up! Textured Cardstock top keep the stick like feel going...

I think this card is my new favorite...and think of all the other simple words or phrases I could spell with this one stamp set!!

You should hop on over the Creative Clear Stamps Blog HERE and become a follower!!!

Its Party Time!

This Tuesday our Theme is "Masculine Birthday Card"

All month long we are lucky to be sponsered by Ms. Lisa Tedderof Twosdays Techniques!
She has some amazing tutorials that she has put together and this first card of the month uses her tutorial for a "Swing Card"

This is the first swing card I have ever created - so my work does not do her justice!

We also are using Designer Paper you can print yourself from Jenn at Dancing Princesses - so fun!

This is also the first time I have used printed designer paper.
