Lisa’s Handmade Cards

I love this cute little Whipper Snapper stamp of a little girl named Nurse Morgan. I colored her to match the fab green paper from American Crafts and the pink polka-dots from Bo Bunny. I used my Cricut to cut out the circles and embossed the front circle with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. The lace border punch is from Martha.

Challenges:

I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Both The Pink Elephant and Cute Card Thursdays challenges are to add green (my second entry for both). Stamp Something challenge is “something girly” and Simon Says is also “girly”. Last but not least Creative Inspirations challenge is to add lace, pins, and pearls.

I won last weeks challenge at Practical Scrappers with this card! I’m even the grand prize winner (they do a grand prize winner and a top three as well). I get to pick out a couple free digi’s from Stamping Boutique. Now how to choose which ones…

I’m super excited. Thanks Practical Scrappers and Stamping Boutique!!

If your here looking for my Truly Scrumptious sketch challenge card click here. Sorry, I spaced linking to the post itself.

I am dead tired. I’m also stubborn. I refuse to go to bed until I finished my High Hopes Challenge card that I started two days ago. I can’t decide if I’m just stupid for doing so (I cut my finger and wasted a great deal of glue dots before I remembered Mike’s layers are supposed to be 3D) or grateful (it turned out fab, right). Any excuse to use my High Hopes stamps and I’m in.I’m a sucker for them.

The challenge is to use brown and orange plus a circle. I received Mike (the monkey) in my Christmas stocking and just hadn’t inked him up yet. The bananas and sentiment are from C.C. Designs. At the time I didn’t know of a source that sold High Hopes stamps or I wouldn’t have bought this banana bunch. I still might…

You can’t tell from the picture that well- the orange is velum and I put the same patterned paper behind it. I also made Mike extra 3-Dimensional. The circles are cut out with my Cricut and embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. Hope you love him as much as I do!

Project #21

My messy house is calling my name but my stamps were calling louder. I couldn’t resist. Easter is my favorite holiday therefore, I have a ton of Easter stamps. This cute stamped image is from Inky Antics as well as the sentiment. The rabbit’s carrot is paper pieced using Bo Bunny polka dot paper that I then colored with my markers. The flannel looking cardstock is from the mini Animal Crackers Matstack.

Since I’m lacking on card making time this week I made the most out of this card. I’m entering into into the following challenges:

Truly Scruptious- sketch (I had to change it up a little to accommodate my massive stamp)

Cute card Thursday- green

The Pink Elephant- green

Stamp Something- recipe (designer paper, buttons, and ribbon)

Practical Scrappers- chalks/inks

Get Sketchy- spring theme

ABC Challenge- P is for paper piecing

Creative Card Crew- It’s a celebration

Papertake Weekly- Buttons, bows, brads, and bling (use some or all)

Wow, all those links left me with a hand cramp, lol. Thanks for stopping by!

Project #20

I made this card for one of my most fabulous friends. It’s for this weeks Squigglefly challenge- fun borders. This week I used another Crissy Armstrong image called Oswalda Goes Shopping. Isn’t Oswalda just fabulous? lol, I love all of Crissy’s images!

The patterned paper is by Sassafrass and the card stock is from bazzill. I used my Martha Stewart border punch, some stickles, and pop up dots. I also tried a new technique (at least for me) and sponged around my image. I need some practice but think I’ll do so more often.

Anyway, check out the other DT ladies fab cards (have you noticed “fabulous” is my favorite word yet?) and join in the Squigglefly challenge!
