Valentine Girl

Moving on to Valentine's Day!  I found these little clear clothes pins, they have a little magnet on the back. I added a heart (I used the Embosslit Scalloped Heart of Hearts.  Punched it 2x out of Real Red CS, sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip Ink and mounted onto a heart cut from the backing sheet we get in our packages of CS ~ made it all a little thicker.)  I added the little girl with the valentine from the Greeting Card Kids Stamp Set.  I colored her with color pencils and used the blender pen.  Her face and legs I used the Blush Blossom Stampin' Write Pen.  I cut her out and mounted with deminsionals.

Hope you like her?  I've been busy creating Valentine gifts, I'll try and get some of them posted soon.  I'm having so much fun creating, forget to get back to blogging!  Hope everyone is having a healthy winter.  It sure has been cold (yep, even here in the Central Valley of California) ... I'm ready for springtime! 

Keep stampin' ~ hugs to all, :o)

Little Gift Box and Gift Card Holder

I saw this on Angie Juda's U-Stream this week-end, aren't these cute?  She gives you hands-on instruction.  It's so awesome.  This year's Christmas colors are fun!

The Stamp Set is Greeting Card Kids and the base paper is Crumb Cake CS.  The striped paper is the Elegant Soiree DSP.  I sponged all the edges with Soft Suede Ink.  The square behind the image is Basic Black CS.  We used a little Dazzling Diamonds to make it sparkle (on the star and the fur on her coat).  The button on the front of the box is one of the new Antique Brads.  I also used the Eyelet Border Punch using Baja Breeze CS.  Hope you like it.  Big hugs, Julia

School Kids

I found this card at CardScraps and had to case it! I just loved the colors she used. The card base is Crumb Cake CS, then a layer of Basic Black CS, Real Red CS for layering and the new Love Letter DSP. Of course sponged with Early Espresso and the ribbon is the Black Satin. I think it gives it a real vintage look. The stamp is from the Greeting Card Kids Stamp Set. I colored mine with Stampin' UP! markers and the Blender Pen.

Happy Halloween Greeting Card Kid

I'm lovin' this cute little stamp set called Greeting Card Kids (they look like the old Campbell Soup Company Kids)! I snagged this idea from Angie Juda at Chic n' Scratch, isn't it cute. She's so awesome. She's doing live videos and you can go back and view them later if you miss the actual live showing. I love how she takes us right into her craft room, check it out.



I used Old Olive CS for the box and the wide striped grosgrain ribbon in Old Olive. I also ran a strip of Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon down the side. The background paper is Pawsitively Prints DSP. I stamped the little girl on her pumpkin from the Greeting Card Kids and punched it out with the new 2-1/2" Circle Punch and sponged the edges with Early Espresso Classic Ink. The happy halloween is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set stamped on Whisper White CS and punched out with the Word Window Punch and of course, sponged with Early Espresso Ink. I think my friend Tina has gotten me into the Halloween spirit!!!
