Girly, You Rock!



The above cards use a guitar design found on my Cameo Silhouette.  The stamp is Signature Greetings from Papertrey Ink.  Something is still missing, but I'll have to figure it out for the next round of cards!  Have a great day - Heidi.

Three horses - five ways


I broke down and bought a Cameo Silhouette.  The first thing I cut was ruined probably because the mat was so sticky, but these horses here are awesome!  I used three different colors plus two of the negatives left-over.


This first set of horses use, Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze and River Rock cardstock on Black.  Maybe I needed some shading on the horses to make them pop.


On the second card I embossed the first and third horse to give it a different look.

On the third card I embossed all of the horses for another look.

I used the River Rock negative part and made the above card.


Then I used the Cajun Craze negative part and made this last card.  I think I am all horsed out now.

Catch-up

I made this card a while ago using the 8 X 8 scrapbook kit in Stampin' Up's Spring catalog and the set petitie pairs. - Heidi

Flowers, fathers and dresses

I am playing catch-up on cards I have made, but not posted.


The above card was inspired by my friend Beth.  She sent me a picture of a card box she made and the cover had something similar on it.  I stamped the Pleasant Poppies over the French Script background and water colored the flowers in.  The sentiment is from Fabulous Florets.


I still love these dies from Papertrey Ink!  The Man & Wife are so cool!  Instead of a wedding card like this one here I decided to have the man go solo for a Father's Day card.  What do you think?


I ordered the dress up framelits dies from Stampin' Up, but haven't really had the chance to play with them yet!  So sad, I know!  I also scored the big button border die from my local Goodwill store and I attached several buttons over it.  I still need to make an envelope for it, but I don't think it turned out too bad.  It needs a sentiment or something else, I think. - Heidi

Four Flowers - Two Ways

I picked up this stamp at my local Goodwill because I thought I could make a card with it.  The stamp is from PSX.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up and the set is called Something to Celebrate.  I think I like the Baja Breeze card better because of the extra layer on the front. - Heidi

A Hunting we will Go!

Our Hobby Lobby moved about two months ago and they had all paper stacks for 50% off.  I guess they'd rather sell it than move it, but I am good with that!  I found this hunting/manly/outdoorsy stack of paper and of course I had to have it.  The designs are nice, but the paper is textured.  This makes it difficult to emboss on and photograph.  See what you think.





I messed around with a couple of different dies and some different birthday stamps and embossing powder.  The cards are A10s - so they are big.  I don't think they turned out too bad. - Heidi

Happy Hexagons

I saw this DCWV paper stack at JoAnn's and it has foil designs over kraft paper.  It's only 6 X 6, but very cool!  Combine it with the hexagon background die from Papertrey Ink and you get the following cool cards.



Just line all those hexagons up the way you want and stamp your sentiment and emboss with silver.  Simple yet oh so nifty! - Heidi
