my scanner just doesnt like to scan a full card. its always cropping it. its got a mind of its own.

this is a new stamp i got from an awesome stamp store here in calgary called Paper Pastimes. sorry i dont no where they got em. its my mission to find out tho.the store also sells templates called fold-em templates. they look exactly like the gold embossing templates. i used it on the bottom of the card.

the image was colored with prismas, then blended with oms, and then highlighted with stickles. i love stickles! i distressed the sides with a blade, added beads to the top corner. and brads in the bottom corners. ohh and used corresponding ink on the sides of the paper.

poor cards top got cropped, dang scanner!

this was a thank you card for my cousin, Cam, who made my mother and i birthday cards this year. currently she is in portugal, (lucky girl). this card it only 3"x4 1/4. we were shopping in Kimberely B.C. this january (for my dear grandpas funeral, i miss u), in a shop called the back door. she seen this asian gold fish picture hanging on the wall, and this stamp reminded me of that. so, i bought it for this card from an excellent stamp store here in Calgary called, Paper Pastimes, (drop in if your in town, its amazing!).

i used my cuttlebug to dry emboss the bg orange. mounted the main image with dimensionals. colored the fish with Prismas then oms, and stickles. the sentimate was stamped in black then i used stickles on that too. then blueish turquoise-ish brads in the corners.

(off topic, Paper Pastimes also sells h20's. its a dream come true this store, it really is!)

ok this is my second time doing this....am i new much??? lol

I made 3 of these. one for my mom, my cousin living here, and my other cousin (her sister), who came down to visit from vancouver for easter. this was my very first time using this set, (just got it last month).

Anywhoooo, i gave this to my cousins on easter sunday, that day we also went to the zoo! my fav was the new ray tank they made. your allowed to stick your hands in and the rays swim over top. they were no bigger than a foot. but the cuuutest things i've every seen. if i could explain what they'd look like, itb be like a dog fish kinda. i guess youd have to see em. ohh they also had the baby elephant out. another cutey!

ohh and im a little old to be saying this....but....the easter bunny came. lol. my mom still likes to surprise me with the baskit. expect this time no chocolates cuz i joined WW 3 weeks ago. but, even better, i got 2 new stamps! an easter bunny and a little girl in the snow. also a template where you cut "V"s and fold back every other cut, guess i'll need to make a card to show. YAY PROJECT!!!

The truck and eggs were colored with prismas, then used my new stickles glitter over top. stamped this big whimsy stamp from priceless in sage shadow over the same colored paper. ribbon is from Prima Ribbon.sentiment was punched with a scallop punch is sage shadow and then again with a circle punch (forget the size), in Pretty in Pink. then finished off with a heart brad. and was lifted with a dimentional.
