What's Moo Everybody?

I've been in a Moo type of moo-d... I just love farm animals, and I think that farm animal stamps are just the cutest! So I've got a couple of cow cards to show you.

The first card I want to show you is made from all stamps from The Angel Company. It was a quick card. The base is Pixie Pink and I stamped the swirls from Spring Dream on it with Pink Passion ink. I then layered it with paper from my FAVORITE collection called Catelynne. I added a length of ribbon to it also. I then stamped the "frame" from I Remember when and then the image from SWAK. I colored it in with pencils, gamsol and markers. I cut it out and placed it on the frame with pop dots. I added some stickles and I was done. Told ya, quick and easy.

The next card I made for a friend who needs a little pick-me-up.

The base card is Certainly Celery. I layered it with Lavender Lace, Purely Pomegranate and DP from TAC's A Little Whimsy collection. I stamped the image from the set What's Moo and colored it in with pencils and gamsol. I first layered the card with the DP and ribbon. I then added the image panel to a piece of Purely Pomegranate and then on to the card. I then stamped the sentiment and added that to the card with the flowers that my Mom made and a crystal brad.

I decorated the inside with left over scraps and I was complete. I hope that it gives her the right pick me up that she needs.

Boy, no rambling or blah blah blah today. I must be sick *Ü*

I hope to be back later with a little digital scrapping for you! Have a great day!

Hugs,

Joani

Happy Saturday!!

Hello everyone! Happy Saturday!!! The day is a beautiful one here. The sun is shining and the birds are out & chirping. Then what the heck am I doing at the computer???

This card was made for a dear friend thanking her for an order that she placed with me. I wont mention names, but I'm sure that she will see it on here before she gets her order :)

I used an image from the Everyday Events set. I stamped it and colored it in with what else ~ pencils and gamsol.

The card base is Soft Sky. I layered that with a piece of Brilliant Blue that I used on the scor-pal. All the layers are done on the scor-pal but I am sorry for the picture ~ I think I need a new camera. I stamped the word 'thanks' all around on the blue panel. I then took a piece of DP from the Lilly Anna collection and used the scor-pal on the outer edges. I sponged Certainly Celery ink around the edges before I glued it down. I then added the image (outer edges done on the scor-pal and sponged with Brilliant Blue ink) and glued that down more to the right side. I took a piece of DP again from the Lilly Anna collection, used the scor-pal, sponged the edges and layered it on to a piece of Pink Passion paper. It looked blank so I added 3 eyelets and some scrap ribbon that I stapled on before I adhered it to the card. I'm sure she will like it.

I had some more cards that I wanted to make for my stampers 6 group that's coming up. So if your a part of this group close your eyes ;-)

I took the image (from what I think just may be my favorite set) stamped it and colored it with pencils. I sponged some Positively Pink ink around the edges and layered it on to a piece of Pixie Pink paper. I the took out my Uptown Girl pad and used those papers. I first took a piece of the DP and used the scor-pal, which once again is hard to see and adhered it to the Basic Black card. I then took the pink gingham checks out and sponged around it with black ink. I added a length of pink ribbon and secured that to the card a little more to the right of the 1st panel. I then took the image layer and glued that to the far right of both the other panels.

I still needed a saying so I stamped 'muchas-gracias' with Positively Pink, sponged around that layer and glued it to a piece of scrap Pixie Pink and taped it to the far left of the card. You can not see the inside but I taped a piece of white paper slightly smaller and doodled faux stitching around it ~ then I can write on the inside.

Well I must go now and try to enjoy the rest of the day! Tootles to you ~ until next time!

Happy Friday!!

Yippie it's Friday! I just love the weekends. Time to sleep in, hubby makes breakfast & just all around family time. Yeah, I don't get too much computer time ~ or crafting time, but I sure do love family time!

Today is supposed to be a nice day. The last nice day, we're supposed to have a few showers or so over the weekend. They are even saying that we might get some snow Monday ~ how weird is that?


I thought that I'd share this card with you first. I just love it. Those cows are too stinkin' cute!!

This card is made from the What's Moo set. The card itself is Basic Black. I then layered a piece of Pixie Pink and a piece of DP from the Uptown Girl slab. I then added another piece of Pixie Pink to a piece of the black from the same slab. You can't really tell, but the black from the Uptown Girl paper looks almost like linen. I then tied a length of ribbon around those layers. I stamped the image and colored it in with pencils and gamsol and sponged Pink Passion ink around the layers. I added that to a piece of Pixie Pink and Black and used pop dots to add it to the card. Well, there was no place for a sentiment panel so I just stamped the word "holy cow" to the left of the image on that layer and I was thru.


Yesterday I promised you a card made with the Stamp of The Month, well here it is. The set is called Goody Jar. If you look to the left of this post you will see all the stamps that come in this set.


When I first saw the set I was a little excited. You see I had a friend in California ~ the same one that claims she's perkier than me, but I know the truth (he he he) and when she left the placed that we worked together one of the guy's in the office gave her one of these. It was the first time I had ever seen a fish in a vase with a plant on top! Hmmm, I wonder if it's still alive??


Anyway, on to the card. For the base card I used Soft Sky and layered a piece of Blue Bayou and a sheet of DP from the Sands of Time collection. I rounded all those corners and inked up the left side with Bliss Blue ink. I stamped the images and colored them with pencils. I then inked up the edges with Bliss Blue ink, rounded the corners, layered that on to a piece of Blue Bayou cs & added a length of green grosgrain ribbon before adhering it to the card. For the sentiment I used a saying from A Wittle Bug. The saying said "thanks for everything" well I took the h out of thanks so it read "tanks for everything". I stamped that in Bliss Blue, layered it on to a piece of Blue Bayou cs, then layered that on to a piece of Gable Green that I punched with my Round Tab punch. I used my slit punch and made 2 slits in the paper and slid the whole thing into the slits. I then secured it with a couple of eyelets. Once I set the eyelets I then taped the whole panel to the card and I was done.


This set is so versatile. You can use it as a cookie jar, a vase or a penny bank. Right now it is only $5.95 with a $30.00 purchase! That's a great deal ~ tell me where can you get 11 stamps for only $5.95? If you'd like to own one as me how!


Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to show you some fairy and princess cards that I've been working on. Until then, thanks for stopping by and have yourselves a wonderful day!!
