I am so happy to be making Christmas cards now instead of last minute in December. I was able to visit a real rubber stamp shop in Toronto this week called Bizzy B's Stamps. It was pretty exciting to see row after row of nothing but rubber stamps! This card is made with Hero Arts CL354 Let the Angels Sing. I was inspired by all the wonderful cards made with this set on Flickr, I love how Virginia added the clouds to her card, so I thought I would add some fluffy snow to mine.
The snow is called Buffalo Snow Flurries which is used to make village scenes at Christmas.
Virginia's wonderful card can be seen here!

Thank you for for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend and Canadian Thanksgiving!! :)

Happy World Card Making Day Blog Hop!

Happy World Card Making Day to everyone! To celebrate I made this card last night to coordinate with one of my first Flickr Hero Arts posts. The tag below was made for a glitter challenge last Christmas. The background on the tag is a glitter paper, a few Santas and star brads. It gave a real nice twinkle sitting on a gift under the tree.
This card is embossed on Kraft with Candy Cane Stripes embossing folder and the snowy hill is stamped and covered with glitter. I decided not to add a sentiment since the ribbon has words, it just seemed to busy with both. I also coloured Santas beard with white opaque paint marker to give a bit of texture
Supplies used on this card ...
Hero Arts Merriest Wishes CL113
Hero Arts Candy Cane Santa E3697
Copic Markers G05 &R27
Diamond Sugar Dust glitter

Hope everyone enjoys creating on this fun day! Sending you huge World Card Making hugs. :)

Fall Love

Yes, I know another butterfly card. Sorry but I really can't help myself! I have had this burlap in my stash for a few years now, (I think it's from the 70's).
Made with Hero Arts F5158 Heart winged butterfly, S5208 Designer Woodgrain, CL342 Everyday Sayings and the paper flowers are stamped with cg125 Friends Definition. Also used frayed burlap distress ink. The Heart Winged Butterfly is stamped on orange sticky back burlap.

Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

Fall Hydrangea

Just another Fall card to share. I know there are probably no orange hydrangeas, but in my card making dream world Hydrangeas bloom in every colour all year round! Crackle Accents were added to the flower for an old vintage look and coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

Fall Butterfly

One more quick card this morning before work. Made with Hero Arts CG197 old letter, F5158 Heart winged butterfly, CL218 la letter. Stamped with Frayed Burlap and Tea dye distress inks. Also added a vintage button that has tiny hearts on it which I thought was a good match with this butterfly.
The photo is taken on a tree stump at the side of our house, we recently planted strawberries around it trying to make it blend into the back yard!

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!! :)

Operation Write Home card for a Hero & envelopes

Dear Hero Card made for Operation Write Home, inside of the card has a raccoon holding a flower with the sentiment you make my world happy. Since I am not sure who will receive this card I tried to make it for either a man or woman.

Also made some envelopes for the OWH cards below this post and added a white address label to the outside of the envie for a matching set.

Operation Write Home Cards

Huge thank you to Hero Arts for sending these stamps for their Blinkie Giveaway! Thank you soooo much!! :)I cant wait to try these beautiful stamps out. The Hero Arts Blinkies are available on their blog at www.heroarts.com where you can get a blinkie for your site too. :)

I've taken a break this week from making cards just trying to recharge my mojo. Spending time in my craft room cleaning, sorting and some organization. Now have a basket to put stamped images that never made it on a card and decided to punch butterflies out on the super small paper scraps and images that I know I will never use.
Plan to spend the rest of the week visiting blogs and getting caught up on all the creativity out there.

Have a great evening, thank you for stopping by! :)
