Here are the insides of these cards:

Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set

Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set

I plan on teaching this as a workshop as well as it took no time at all to make these. The supplies I used are:

* Get Inky! Stamps Sew Sweet Cupcakes and Joyful Jar Drinks
* Laughing Lola Workshop on the Go
* Frames, Tags & Border stamp set from the EXCLUSIVE Close to My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy Collection
* Tombow Adhesive

Thanks to Get Inky! Stamps for having me share these fun new cards. Please stop by their Etsy shop as well. Stay tuned for some holiday cards that are coming up as well. Until next time.....

Get Inky! Stamps Guest Designer Project

Happy Day all!

Today I get to be guest designer over at Get Inky! Stamps for the Fall Colors Challenge. Well Fall colors makes me think of Halloween and I just had to make this special Halloween Birthday card. There is a special young lady turning 1 and we thought she would be a Halloween baby. Well, she made her appearance on my daughter's birthday on the 22nd and surprised us all! Here is the card I made:

Did you know that you can stamp directly on patterned paper to dress up your stamped images? I learned this from my dear friend Cardmonkey and opted to do this for my card. I used the 2013 Spooktacular Halloween set for the ghosts and the one eyed monster. I decided to cut the fence with black patterned paper too. 

See the sentiment? Well it is actually a combination of two different stamp sets. I used the 2013 Spooktacular Halloween set for the Boo-tiful and the rest of the sentiment is from the Beary Special Cupcake set. I enjoyed making this card and am planning on using this format for a scrapbook page for our grandchildren's Halloween pics. Thanks for coming by and sharing this time with me. Until next time.....

Guest Designer for Get Inky! Stamps

Greetings all:

I have to tell you that I LOVE cupcakes. All shapes, sizes and flavors. To me they are just the right size for a little sweetness. So when I learned about the cake challenge from Get Inky! Stamps, I knew I had to come up with something special. Well it had to be extra special as this was a card for someone special. I used the Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set and took out some paper I bought "just because". I stamped the image twice so I could layer and make it seem like frosting. Here is my card closed:

And now open:

Of course my Cameo Silhouette came in handy. The brad holding the card open is from Kathy Davis Studios Happiness set. I am looking forward to another day at KD Studios soon. I hope that you will come and join us over for the most recent challenge (Cakes, Cakes and Cupcakes). I cannot wait to see all the wonderful entries. Until next time....

Summer is Here - Who's Ready for a Party?

'Ello all. Susan here with a Summer Fun project for Get Inky! Stamps Summer Challenge. Summer to me means time with Family and Friends. The motto is "It's 5'Oclock Somewhere". After a long week this definitely applies. I used the Joyful Jars set  that you can find on the Blue Moon Creations website. I wanted invitations for a get together and this was so much fun to work with. Here it is:

I love the puffy paint I used to make the beer froth and the Stickles to make the beverage. I am thinking you could change this up and make a cup of cocoa and the card using Holiday colors for a get together in December. This is how versatile this set is!! I thank you for stopping by and hope you will share your own summer fun card at the Get Inky! Stamps Summer Challenge. Until next time....

Today I want to share is a card that I made for Crafty Card Gallery's Blogaversary Challenge. The challenge was to use a digi stamp from Blue Moon Creations. Well, I decided to us the Potted Flowers digi. I made a swing card:

Now for the sentiment I used a stamp from the Buzzing Bees set. I will either be stamping a little bee from the same set or using a little sticker before I mail this. I cut this tag with my Silhouette Cameo. I am so glad you stopped by and please go show  Crafty Card Gallery some love.
