Published Cards

Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I have three cards to share with you using fun stamps from Your Next Stamp that were published in the December 2018 issue of Making Cards & Papercraft Magazine!! 

With all the crazy weather we have been getting, the kids have only been going to school 2 or 3 days a week!  Which has cut down on my crafty time majorly!!  So I haven't gotten these shared yet!

Today is the day!!  LOL!!

I'm so excited to share these cute cards with you.  I just LOVE YNS's adorable stamp sets!! And lovely dies!!

The first two use the adorable Good Glidings stamp and coordinating Good Glidings Die Set!

I used the cute Giraffe on the first one:

I started by first stamping the 'Gliding By With Holiday Cheer' sentiment on a slant in the middle of my card base.  I then used the Thick Rectangle Die Set to create my fun shaker window!!  Once finished I adhered it to my card base on a slant above the sentiment!

I stamped the giraffe image with Black Olive Ink and colored in with my Copics.  I die cut the giraffe out and added to the right side of my frame!

For the next card I used the adorable deer:

I created my card base and then added a piece of brown and green plaid pattern paper from the Mint Cocoa Kisses 6x6 Paper Pad!

I then cut a piece of white paper the size of my card base and cut on an angle on the right side, so once adhered to my card base you'd see the pattern paper.  Before adding to my card base, I stamped the 'Gliding By With Holiday Cheer' sentiment neat the bottom right.  I also used the Double Pierced Hills Die Set, to die cut about 1' up from the bottom left corner, just a portion of the die, so that it looks like a skating mark!! I love the look!!  So fun!

I stamped the deer image with Black Olive Ink and colored in with my Copics. Die cut the deer out with the coordinating die and adhered to my card with pop-dots.  I finished the card off by adding some Gumdrops to the upper right of my card!

For my last card I used the Home for the Holidays stamp and coordinating Home for the Holidays Die Set:

I created my card base from a piece of teal cardstock!  I then used the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles Die Set for my white scalloped cardstock layer, which I adhered directly to my card base.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to create a teal and white cardstock layers.  I stamped the 'Season's Greetings' sentiment with Black Olive Ink on the white rectangle cardstock layer near the bottom right. I then adhered the two layers together.  Wrapped some Divine Twine near the upper right and adhered to my card base with pop-dots.  I added a button and twine bow as well.

I stamped the sweet birdhouse image with  Black Olive Ink and colored with my Copics.  I die cut the sweet image out and added some Glossy Accents to the snow on the birdhouse and then sprinkled some glitter on it!  I let it dry, shook off the excess glitter and adhered to my card with pop-dots!!

Three super fun holidays card!  I just love how each of them turned out!!

Christmas is Perfect

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!  I have three cards to share with you today!

Two of which I created a few months ago for a call Card Maker Magazine had and they were accepted!!

They are in the Card Maker Winter 2017 Issue pg. 37!!

It's always so much fun to see your work printed!!

Here is a close-up of the two:

They were looking for quick and easy holiday cards!!  I love the simplicity of what I came up with!!

I used a strip of Winter Plaid paper on the right of each card.  And used the gorgeous Poinsettia Tangle stamp set to stamp the poinsettia in colored ink!  The sentiment is from the set as well!  I absolutely love this sentiment!!

Such a fun design to create a bunch of quick holiday cards!!  

Here is one more I created for this post today:

I switched up by flipping the orientation of my layout and using a different sentiment!  I decided to add some pearls to the center of my poinsettia as well!! 

Simple, yet so elegant!!

Western

My card is not a new creation, but rather a look back at my designing with SweetStamps.com.

Unfortunately, I have been very sick, which has left me from designing in my craft room.  (sad face) But I am very happy to note that I am finally feeling better after 7 weeks~!  Just hope I don't have another Kidney Stone for a very long time, these 3 I had were very horrible!!

Anyway, here is the very first card I ever had published and to top it off it was using SweetStamps.com stamps!!

I created this card using Sweet Stamps "Horse Portrait Oval" (3003-i), "Howdy" (3013-b, which is part of a set of 3 sentiments) and "Two Horse Silhouette" (3002-b).

I love how it turned out!!

Publication

My newest publication!!

I just love how this card turned out!!

I just LOVE this Dot Butterfly stamp from SweetStamps.com, there are so many fun things you can do with it. 

I stamped the butterfly twice on vellum and then on two different pieces of patterned paper.  And then fussy cut them all.  On the two vellum pieces I then cut some extra areas inside the butterfly out so that the paper below could show through.

I then finished it by adding some Creative Inspirations Paint in Sunshine and Antique Silver to areas of the butterfly to add some shimmer!!

It is in the Paper Creations Spring 2013 issue on page 44!

It's always so exciting to see your work in print!!

Have a wonderful day!

These two cards actually are published in Paper Creations Summer 2012!!  Yay! 
I just got my issue yesterday!!

I created this fun non-traditional Christmas card using the Winter Wonderland set!  I just love this set!  It actually was my first set form IBS! I just LOVE all the snowflakes and sentiments in this set!

I created this card for Paper Creations and they then asked me to create a fall and summer card to go a long with it. 

So I used the Butterfly Wings set, another amazing set, to create this card to go with the above card:

I love the colors I used for this card!

The Butterfly Wings set has a great variety of butterflies and sentiments!

Good morning!!

So, like many people, I love getting some of my supplies from Hobby Lobby!  Everyone in my family knows if they can't think of something to get me for a holiday, I'm happy with a gift certificate from there!! :)

I usually like picking up the Stamping, Stationary and Scrapbooking Magazine, because it is so reasonable and it's nice to see the inspiration.

Well recently, I was inspired to create two cards to submit to the magazine and was so excited to get both of them published!!

Pg. 16

Pg. 48

They're in this year's 2nd Quarter Issue, on sale now!!

How exciting!!  Have a nice day!
