heike-gofroggie-smA card full of love from Heike I. in Germany.

While Valentines is certainly the next big card day you could make this for anytime. So many times I think hearts=pink or red, but clearly I need to rethink that. :) I love the unexpected colors of turquoise and orange.

I also love all of the little details – the ribbon, the the greenery and the little orange hearts. Heike said she stamped the frog and then stamped it in reverse. The only way that I know how to do this is stamp the frog on something else and stamp that something else onto whatever it is you’re working on. A fun technique!

annie-bunny-smAnnie’s was busy making cards again, this time flowers are sproutin’ big!

She said that the flowers are stamps from Purple Onion Designs (one of my favorite places). They were actually painted with Ranger Dabbers and then cut out and stacked. If you’ve never heard of Dabbers they are acrylic paint in squeeze bottles with a sponge at the end. You can just dab-dab-dab the paint onto whatever you’re working on.

I just love those huge flowers. I guess that makes Binkley a very wee bunny. :)

estella-starbeaks-insideAnother great card Estella over at Sandee’s Stamps in Waterford, Michigan. I think it’s SO CUTE – from the great cutout window, to the gingham border and ribbon on the front! She did a wonderful job coloring and I love that she added the little shadows of green.

annie-goose-smThis cute card was sent in by Annie. Her colors are so fresh, from the paper she chose – polka dots and the teal-green to the bright yellow goose.

The phrase stamp she added is perfect too. Sometimes I need to remind myself not to get my undies in a twist and to just stop to smell the roses. :)

meg-hello-smMeg has got summer on her mind. She said she thought this card would be great to send to a kid at summer camp. I agree! Kind of makes ME want to go to summer camp – well, minus the bugs of course. :)

moon-frog-smMoon sent in this cute box project. I love the gingham paper and ribbon against the brown polka dots. Her shading on the frog is just so lovely, and if that wasn’t enough she topped  it all off  with some scallops!

Honestly, with a box like this who needs anything at all inside! :)

jinah-candles1Another oh so sweet project by Jinah. She took little tea light candles and used the toy stamps to decorate them.

She said she first stamped the images onto tissue paper and then colored them in using her Copic markers. She then cut them out and put them on the candles and used a heat tool to melt the candle a tiny bit.

christygetscrafty-smChristy over at ChristyGetsCrafty sent me a link to this card. It was so cute I asked her if I could post it here. She said yes – yeah!

I love her color choices – so cheery (but then I am quite partial to orange). :) I think it’s just such a sweet little “hi there” note that would make anyone’s mailbox smile.

Thanks for sharing Christy!

meg-122010mtgchic1-sm

I love the patterned paper animals that Meg did for this card. And what a fun way to use scraps of paper too!

Here’s what Meg did:

  1. Stamp “All the Animals Stacked Up” on October Afternoon and Stampin’ Up patterned paper and heat embossed with black (makes it a bit easier to see on the patterned paper and to cut out).
  2. I stamped the entire image onto Papertrey Ink Ripe Avocado and cut it out, leaving a small border and adhered each animal using Xyron adhesive.
  3. I stamped the message (also from ECG) onto some kraft and added some Peeled Paint distress ink.
  4. The whole stack was popped up with dimensionals onto some Echo Park Christmas paper, bordered with Ripe Avocado and kraft.

winterbook-full-smI worked on this for quite some time and FINALLY finished. I was inspired by a project that Cathrine over at Paper Garden Projects created last year (I believe).
winterbook1
I started with chipboard shapes and covered each with a different piece of paper. I added snow with some white molding paste and before it dried sprinkled it with glitter. For the ice on the skating pages I used Diamond glaze. I made all the backgrounds first and then added the little kids and such on top. It was a labor of love for sure.
