Lisa’s Handmade Cards

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!

I finally had some free time today. Woohoo!! I had so many challenges I wanted to enter this week and just haven’t had the time. However, I made this card to fit into many of them.

Mojo Monday- the sketch

Crafty Cardmakers- use ribbon and/or fibers

Cute Card Thursday- charms

Stamp Something- color challenge, brown plus something

Crafty Creations- all shades of pale

Not bad for one little card, hu!? The wedding couple are a Penny Black image and the sentiment is from Inky Antics. The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye. The bride is 3D and is stickled to give her that wedding day sparkle. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been dying to use my new High Hopes images! Last night I finally made the time (if one a.m. is a time) to make a card with this fabulous turkey. This weeks challenge at the High Hopes Stamps blog is to use your favorite image. It’s really impossible to choose just one. I love them all! I’ve been looking for a good turkey stamp for sometime though so this little guy made me really excited to break out the embossing powder.

The sentiment is by Inky Antics. The plaid paper is from Chatterbox and the pumpkin paper is from Reminisce. The leaves are Dress It Up buttons that I’ve cut the shanks off of. The turkey was colored with my Prismacolor Markers and then I added stickles to his feathers. His body is 3D.

I told myself I’d make a card today. It’s been a stressful busy couple of days and I needed some fun time. So here I am at twelve thirty posting a card I just finished. I’m not a late night kind of girl anymore since my daughter gets me up at the crack of dawn. About the card- the pics aren’t my best ever do to the late hour and lack of natural light but here it is. All stamped images are from Inky Antics. The plaid paper is from Chatterbox and the pumpkin paper is from Reminisce. I’ve had these stamps for at least 6 months now but was seriously lacking on the Thanksgiving paper. I bought these today with matching ribbon and had some matching leaf buttons too. Alas, they didn’t make it on to the card, lol. I guess that means I am all set for my next fall card.

Today’s card follows this weeks sketch as Friday Sketchers. Here is the sketch:

And here is what I came up with:

The stamp is by Whipper Snapper called Easter Bunny in Basket. The Easter saying is from Inky Antics. This is the first card I’ve ever made super 3D. I know Easter is many many months away but it just so happens to be my favorite holiday. I just couldn’t wait to use this stamp too! I used the scalloped circle Nestabilities to cut out the bunny and colored him with my Prismacolor markers.

My site will be undergoing a much needed face lift including a new fabulous logo in the next few days. As soon as I have it up I’ll be posting some “blog” candy just to show it off. I can’t wait! In other exciting news, I purchased some Forever Friends stamps all the way from United Kingdom that were mailed out today. Why is it that most of the extra fabulous stamp companies are not located in the US? I hate that they are so hard to find! Anyone with insider info on how I can get them in the states please fill me in!
