Up, Up and Away!

I love this stamp set that is in the main caddie this year.  I have made several cute cards with and even have some more to make !  I wanted to share with you this cute set made with the Up Up and Away Stamp set.  I made this with a class that I purchased on line so therefore am unable to share the how to's but if you look real close you could probably figure it out!  The holder is sooo easy to make and holds all four cards.  I really have fell for this one so you will see it again with a different set.  Hope you like.  Enjoy!  Until next time, Hugs,

Valentines Again!

Well, wouldn't you know it!  Thought I had my computer up and running and found out I didn't, so am posting my Valentine projects late.  Had a lot of fun making them.  Inspiration from all over even the Target store!  The red box and chocolate starter sticks were found in the dollar bends there. Just jazzed them up some with papers and ribbon.  Made a cute necklace from the soda pop tops that are in the spring caddie.   They are growing on me more and more.  Hope you like.  Until next time, Hugs,

Valentines

Whew!  It has been a long week and half since I posted last.  I had made several Valentine items that I wanted to share with you, however, my computer decided to die.  So had to decided whether to try and repair or get a new one.  The latter won out and then I had to learn a new operating system.  Well,  I am finally at a point that I could share with you some of my Valentines that I found inpiration from on Pinterest or browsing the web.  The first one is a cute pastel card that I found inspiration from on Pinterest.  Mine is somewhat different.  I used the Hearts Aflutter stamp set and framelits.  

The second one is cased from Monica Weaver.  She used black metal for the background, I used black coordination paper that I sanded after using the Honeycomb embossing folder.  (Have I told you that I LOVE that one!) Then I used red foil for the heart.  I think that it would be a great card for your man.  I left the inside blank so you could write a love note to him :)  Hope you like.  Until next time, Hugs,

The Secret of Life

This is a card that I made for a nice lady that orders from me from time to time.  She wanted some ideas on how to use our beautiful Designer Papers.  I saw this card in a bi monthly magazine that Stampin Up sends demonstrators and knew that I wanted to CASE it because I love the colors in it and the saying.  So hope you like and enjoy!  Until next time,  Hugs,

For the Birds!

I needed a quick little card to say thanks to a good friend of mine.  I am on a misson this year to use all my supplies, well as much as I can!  Anyway, the For the Birds Stamp set (126407) set is so cute.  While I typically don't have a lot of time to watercolor, these images are really easy to watercolor.  I use Stampin Up!'s watercolor paper because of the quality of it.  Of course, you will want to start with a Black Stazon pad and then use blender pens and ink pads to watercolor the images.  Thought it turned out cute.  Hope you like. Until next time.  Hugs,

Alicia
