BOO!


Hi! My card today features a sneak peak at a soon to be released Halloween image from DRS Designs. I used this week's sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.



Isn't it a great sketch!

I started with the black card base and stamped the Spooky Eyes Background with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white EP. Next I used white CS, stamped the new Boo image with Memento Black ink, colored with Copics, cut it into a strip and then die cut the end with a SB circle die. It's layered onto orange CS. The pumpkin was created using an EK Success 3 in 1 paper punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cupcake Inspiration 453


My card today is for this week's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge to create a spectacular background. Here's the cupcake for inspiration.



I started with white CS and sponged on some TH Distress Oxide inks in blues and purple. I used a brush and water to add some splashes. Once it dried I stamped the greeting with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white EP. After gluing the panel to the black card base I added the die cut ghosts which were made with this month's small die of the month ghost dies.

I used today's sketch from Splitcoast stampers for my layout. It's a great sketch!

Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Bling!


Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. My card today features just the hat from the Cowboy Gear 4 in 1 stamp. I stamped the hat 4 times onto watercolor paper, colored them with some Nuvo Aqua Flow Pens, fussy cut them and attached them to the pink heart. Before attaching the heart to the white panel I stamped the Accessories greeting with black ink onto the heart and then lined it up with my Misti so it would line up perfectly onto the white panel. Some clear rhinestones were added to the hats for sparkle. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Kick up your Heels


Good morning! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I'm in VA celebrating a couple of birthdays. We'll be having a Minecraft Party for my oldest grandson and a Star Wars party for the youngest. It's gonna be fun!

Today's card features the new Western Dancing Couple. I stamped them, colored them with Copics, die cut them and then added them to the light gray card base that has a darker gray die cut from Hero Arts over top. The greeting is part of the Western Word Square. I think most of the cards I've made recently have some greeting on them from this stamp. It is loaded with greetings! The greeting was die cut with a SB banner die, sponged with some gray ink and added with some foam adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Saddle Up



Happy Monday Everyone. Hope you had a great weekend. Have you been enjoying all the western themed cards this past week or so here on the DRS Designs blog. There are some fun new images. My card today used the new 4 in 1 Cowboy Gear image as well as the new Western Word Square.

I started by stamping the Western Word Square with Versfine Onyx ink onto cranberry CS, cut it into a strip and added it to the side of the white card base. Next I stamped the first line of the Saddle Up birthday greeting with the same black ink. The rest of the greeting is stamped inside the card.

The hat, saddle and boot were stamped with Memento Black ink, colored with Copics, die cut, layered onto the same cranberry CS and added to the card, some with glue and some with foam adhesive for some dimension.

Inside I also stamped the spur image from the 4 in 1 Cowboy Gear with SU cranberry ink along the bottom of the card.


Thanks for stopping by today!

get well soon!


I made this card to send to my mom who is not feeling very well right now. She loves getting home made cards and I know she'll like this one.  I used Fawn Lawn's Get Well Soon stamp and die set. It's a cute little set and perfect for CAS cards. I stamped the greeting with Versafine Onyx ink, cut it into a strip, layered it onto red CS and attached it to the white card base. The little medicine bottle was stamped with Memento Black ink onto white CS, colored with Copics, die cut and glued onto the card. Last the tiny hearts were stamped with Hero Arts Red ink to look like pills falling out of the bottle.

I'm entering this into the Freshly Made Sketches CAS Sketch Challenge:

Swell Birthday!


I just received this fun stamp/die set by Avery Elle for my birthday. Isn't this happy shark so cute? I stamped him with Memento Black ink onto white CS, colored him with some Copics and die cut using the matching die. The waves were created using a border punch. The front waves were stamped with the small fish from the same stamp set using VersaMark ink. The greeting was stamped with Versafine Onyx ink, die cut and attached with some foam squares. The happy shark was tucked in between the two wave strips. Looking forward to playing around with set some more!

I'm entering this in two challenges:
