Just a note..

Here is a quick and #simple card that can be made in about 10-15 min or less.  I like to make simple cards to keep on hand if I need to send a note to someone. 
This is Home to Roost stamp set with olive green and spruce green ink used for grass.  The Rooster (which I already had cut)was colored with blends.  If you wanted to keep it even simpler, just stamp the rooster directly to card.
Hope you liked my Roosters.  Will be back with a new series soon.

Until next time,

Inky Hugs,

Alicia

Chicken Wire Rooster

Here is a card that reminds me of being on a farm.  I was raised a city girl but have been on several farms over my life.  My husband grew up on one in Oregon and has shared many stories of his adventures there.
I actually cut several roosters out with my Scan and Cut so I could make as many cards as I wanted.  No I won't bombard you with all of them!!
This one has chicken wire on it that was sold by Stampin Up but no longer available. I managed to snag some before it was all gone. The rooster is colored in blends and attached with dimensionals. Makes a nice card to stay in touch with some special people in our life.  Hope you enjoy.

 

Until next time,

Home to Roost

Hi all!

Hope you had a good Easter Weekend.  We enjoyed spending some time with some of the grand kids and great grand kids.

The card I am sharing with you today is a farm house inspired one.  The stamp set Home to Roost was in the Sale-a-bration offerings this year.
The card stock is crumb cake.  The gingham background paper is a stamp set that is stamped in cherry cobbler ink on very vanilla card stock. The rooster is stamped in cherry cobbler and the grass is olive green ink.  The cute little half circle on the edges is simply a circle cut in half ! This card can be used on many different occasions since it does not have a saying on it.

 

Until next time,

Happy Bunny Easter!

Happy Easter to all.  Hope you are having a great day today.  I made this cute little treat bag for the "bunny" to put treats in for someone special. 
It is a very simple bag to make.  It uses a piece of balmy blue card stock and two pieces of the balmy blue dsp. Since this was a Erica Cerwin idea I am not going to share the measurements here.  If you google it, I am sure you can find directions in many sizes.  I have made big ones and smaller ones like this one.  
Well, this wraps up my Easter series.  Hope you enjoyed and again have a wonderful Easter.

 

Until next time,

Happy Spring

I always love to see spring come except for the pollen, which has over the years, gotten worst where I live.  But I love the flowers and the birds, and the butterflies that come.  We are fortunate to have a lake behind our house, which has a good supply of geese and ducks.  When I saw this stamp set with the ducks in their Easter outfits, I couldn't resist.  Isn't it the cutest!  Hope you enjoy and have your outfits ready for Easter.

Cute "Girlie" Bunny

Well isn"t she just the most adorable "girlie" bunny you have ever seen!!  Love the flowers she is wearing.  All dressed up for Easter.
She is stamped in Memento black ink and colored with watercolor pencils on watercolor paper. Since she is such a prissy girl, had to add some pearls too!  I used grapefruit grove card stock and gingham check DSP.
Easter is almost here and she is ready!  Are you?

 Until next time,

Cute Mr. Squirrel

Still playing with Fable Friends stamp set.  This one is what I am calling cute Mr. Squirrel.  I have to admit that squirrels and I have a love/hate relationship in real life. I love watching them do their thing, but hate some of the damage they do and watching Hawks go after them is horrible.  I know Mother Nature is doing her job but....
Ok back to the goodies for today.  This again is not my original idea.  The box is from a class that Erica B Cerwin designed.  Love her work.  The card is replicated with a few changes. I used watercolor and blender pencils to color in the squirrel. Then cut out with the circle dies on the box, and the rectangle dies on the card.
If you don't have the rectangle dies, you need to get them  I leave them on my work table all the time.The box is a mini pizza box from annual caddie.  All supplies are Stampin Up.
Hope you like.

Until next time,

Fable Friends

Don't you love that name? It makes me want to get the Beatrice Potter book and read it!  Ok so I regress about my post today. 
Since Easter is next Sunday (a little late this year for me), I am sharing several cards and treats that I created.  They are all CASED but I loved them so.
First up is the cute bunny in the set. Pretty straight forward card but so cute.  I did have to cut him by hand since their are no dies for this set. I love the gingham paper from Sale-a-bration.  It is not available anymore, so if you have some give it some love. I stamped him in Stazon ink on Shimmery White cardstock.  Then I colored with an aqua painter in the following colors: Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue.  All supplies are Stampin Up.

 Until next time,

Wonderful Adventure

This is my last share with the Tranquil Tides stamp set.  Hope you have enjoyed.  This one is what I call a slider card.. It is a little different in that you have a slider card inside the main card with the message.  Pretty easy to make with an envelope as the main card. Just close the flap and open one end to slide the single piece of card stock into.  Again all supplies used are Stampin Up.  I am really starting to make a small dent in my stash!!

 

Until next time,

Still enjoying the Tranquil Tide

After my last post, I hope everyone enjoyed a little moment of tranquility. Fun wasn't it?

Here is the second card I made from the above stamp set.  It is similar to the first one but with a few changes.The back ground paper is stamped with the octopus stamp,once off.  I used Sahara Sand card stock.  I really like the dies that go with this set.  The net really helps to set it off.  All supplies are Stampin Up.

 Until next time,

Inky Hugs,

Tranquil Textures

Awww....feel the sea breeze blowing in your hair and the sand between your toes.  I made three cards from this stamp set recently and for some reason it made me want to book a cruise to the Caribbean.
My sister-in-law and I took a scrapbook cruise there many years ago and we had sooo much fun.  In fact, one of her tennis shoes jumped ship and was never seen again!!  Have you ever made something that made you want to do it?

Anyway, here is the first one up.This was a fairly easy card to make since the coordinating framelits(they will be known only as dies soon) make cutting out the shapes a breeze. I also used the Seaside embossing folder along with the copper trim and glitter enamel dots.  All supplies used are Stampin Up.

Will be back soon with the second one.  Until then,

Inky Hugs,

Alicia
