Wonderful Birthday with Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi! Today Im sharing another new card for Cheery Lynn Designs using the fun "Let's Go Retro" Release. For this birthday card, I only used 2 sets of die cuts, an embossing plate and a little patience. I sure do love how it came out! Lots of fun details. 

The card is 5 x 5 inches and I layered with red and vintage papers. The 2 sentiments were stamped  next to each other. I also stamped a cupcake for the inside of the oven. I love how the oven opens up! There is a bit of acetate for the window door. 

I added some star stamps and black bling dots for the doors and bottom of the stove.

The "Key" Ingredients

Good Morning!

I wanted to share with you a card that I made for the local card convention here in AZ.

This year's theme is "The Key Ingredients" The first thing that came to my mind is "cooking"

So I wanted to use retro colors and patterns around this theme. This little 4.25 x 5.5 inch card is all about "Love" "Love is the Key Ingredient" (inside....To Peace, Joy and Happiness)

Lots of love went into making it too. :) The dress/apron is really 3 pieces made using my cricut "nifty fifties" and glue all together. I also used it for the oven mittens... I used an heart stamp from "stamps by judith" it sure is the perfect little heart for my theme with those little lines. I them colored them with copic markers.

The teal paper is embossed with hearts. I added a border on the bottom using a MS punch.

I used vintage lace cream lace around the waist and the bottom of the apron.

I used a fabric lace down the center of the card and vintage plaid red ribbon for the bow.

There is a bit of red string in a bow for the oven mittens.

Just a closer view of this cute card. Im almost sad to see it go....

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by today! 

Wish me luck!

"Jam Packed" With Love

Hello again and hope everyone is having a super Monday!

So, today I am off work and I was waiting to hear if I had jury duty today?

When I called for the second time...I was released...yay!

I really didnt feel like spending my afternoon at the courts but what can one do if you get picked?

Since then I made this card for yet another part of the October card challenge over at sb.com. 

This one is for the lift challenge. I have been wanting to make something like this for quite a while. 

I seen a really cute card on pinterest made by Cheery's Jubilee Designs with strawberries a long time ago. So between the lift from sb.com and another lift from Cheery's Jubilee it worked out wonderfully because that is another part of the challenge....favorites!

The base of the card is 5x6 inches...seems  to be one of my favorite sizes :)

The gingham purple paper is from Martha Stewart Playful Pink Paper Pad that I had for a really long time...it was on the bottom of my scrap papers...do you all save scraps like me? 

The stamped grapes and vines are from Fiskars "Aged To Perfection"

I stamped in black ink on white cardstock and colored the images with green copics and 

purple distressing ink. I also used Spellbinders "Labels Twenty-Two" in white and purple with Spellbinders "Fleur De Lis Rectangles" in kraft paper. 

The tag and jar were made with my cricut..."George Basic Shapes" and "Country Life"

The green leaves are from an old "Heartfelt Creations" stamp that is retired....sorry :( and I just colored it with the same green copic marker. I inked the edges in the same purple distressing ink and added a few buttons on top and the bottom. There is a little lace ribbon as well as a tripe looped purple bow. 

The doily is a tiny one and finished it off with some purple flowers.

As for the title "Jam Packed" it just popped in my head and it was perfect for this card.

Well, I think that will be all the cardmaking for today...?

Have a great rest of the day!
