2016 Resolution

2016 and I am dedicated this year to use my overstocked (unused) collection of stamps. Many of these items will be turned into cards and listed in my shop.

Cookie Monster Cupcake Toppers

Even Cookie Monster likes cupcakes. They are just cookies that are fluffed lol. 

I made a set of these along with some other characters for a customize order. I actually took a photo and decided to list it up in my Esty shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/167705005/cookie-monster-cupcake-toppers?ref=shop_home_active  They go nicely with the Elmo cupcake toppers I already have listed https://www.etsy.com/listing/51933887/elmo-cupcake-toppers?ref=shop_home_active 

Kiss Me (I'm not Irish)

Here are a few of my St. Patrick's Day cards. I made these a year ago and have a YT video tutorial on how to make them. I also have them up for sale in my shop at Etsy.

Party Lucy Cards

I used Party Lucy by CC Designs to create these cards. She is colored with pencil.

Turtle Cards

Oh, Snap

 

Thinking of You

 Shellibrate!

I gave this one to my neice for her birthday

All cards were colored with Spectrum Noir markers. The stamp set is by The Stamps of Life (July's issue 2012). I am trying to make more cards with all of my stamps. I find it easier and more productive to make several of them at once.

Golden Anniversary

My parents are going to be celebrating their 50th anniversary this month. We are having a party to recognize that this is truly a wonderful achievement for any couple. Love this strong deserves to be noticed by all. With all that goes on I made it a point to take the time to design and make their invitations. It is my little way of saying thank you: I appreciate that they beat the odds and gave us hope that love is the glue to happiness.

Base of the card is an A6 white card
Mat is gold paper and white embossed fleur de lis pattern (Spellbinders, Impressablilities)
Lacey Spellbinders Nestablilities medium circle die in gold paper
Paper white ribbon edged with gold embossing powder
White top note (EK Success punch) with gold embossed "50th"
Inside is a 50th wedding poem that reads:

A Golden Couple

Half a century ago, they say,
A wonderful marriage began that day.
Two beautiful people joined as one,
And worked together to make living fun.

We celebrate now those fifty years;
We raise our glass and give three cheers:
To partners in life in both work and play,
It’s our pleasure to share your golden day.

Happy 50th Anniversary!
