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.

Happy Valentine’s Day! In the normal Lisa fashion I waited until the last minute and then decided to whip up a few batches of cookies and these cute little gift tags. It is also my BIL Austin’s Birthday. I sadly made him the worst cake ever as well- note to self: making the cake layers the night before is a bad idea. Not sealing them up air tight also a bad idea. You will get comments like, “I plead the 5th” when asked how it tastes and “It’s like a toast cake.” LOL, at least my cookies are good and my in laws now have a “remember when” story about me to tell for years to come.

The monkey stamp is a digi from Bugaboo (I added the 30 on the cake), the Cupid Bear is from Whipper Snapper, the elephant is a Dustin Pike digi image, and the squirrel is a Greeting Farm image. I used a lot of cuttlebug, my cricut, did some sewing, and inked lots of edges. That’s about it. I’ll be back tomorrow with my Squigglefly DT card.

Here are my son’s birth announcements. As you can see he is now three months old. My goal was to have them ready before he arrived but then he came three weeks early. I’ll just pat myself on the back for getting them done  at all.

The little boy is a Whipper Snapper stamp. The sentiment is from Stampin Up. It’s one a.m. and I’m too tired/lazy to go check everything else.

I’m entering this little bit of fabulousness into the following challenges:

Simon Says- New Baby

Practical Scrappers- Patterned Paper

Project #9

I thought I’d have a ton of time to craft today but it didn’t happen. So instead I had only a few minutes to whip up a card this evening. I’ll take what I can get.

It isn’t Valentine’s Day without my favorite smoochin’ frog. Isn’t she cute? These Whipper Snapper stamps are definitely my favorite image/sentiment combo. I’ve colored her up multiple times and decided this go around to make her pink. She looks sunburned and fabulous at the same time. The patterned paper is from Sassafras.

I’m entering this card into the following contest:

Project #2

I love this stamp from Whipper Snapper called Tweetie Pie. Isn’t it adorable!?! I finally inked it up. Anyway, I think it is. The main pattern paper is from Fancy Pants Design. The paper I used to cut out the letters is from Scenic Route.

I’m entering this card at this weeks Crafty Cardmakers.
