Happy Sunday everyone! Here is my second Gypsy creation, and my first attempt at welding letters together. The font is Simply Sweet cut at various sizes. The cupcake and all its trimmin's were cut at 3.25 inches from the Sweet Treats cartridge. The paper is K and Company, Papertreyink, and Coredinations. Just a simple card, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway. Well I hope you have had a fabulous weekend!
Hi everyone! I am so super excited with how my very first Gypsy creation turned out! I made the shamrock shaped card at 5 inches from Paper Doll Dress Up, not too shabby for my first attempt at welding! ;o) I layered a 4 3/4 inch shamrock over it and added faux stitching. The "kiss me" is from Sweethearts cut at 1 1/4 inches. The wee leprechaun and all his fixin's were cut at 3 inches. His super cute winky face was made with the Everyday Character Face Parts set from peachykeenstamps.com. Well I hope you like my wee leprechaun card. (I just like saying that!) LOL
Hi all! I made another card using the Everyday Character Face Parts stamps from peachykeenstamps.com. I just LOVE these sets! They are super versatile! I used them to make this cute clown face, and the other day I used them to make a puppy dog! But they can also be used to just make "regular" faces on your projects as well. ;o) For this card I stamped the clowns nose in red ink and then put Glossy Accents over it to give it a domed/plastic nose look. It looks a whole lot better in person without the glare from the camera. My clown and all his accessories were cut at 4 inches from the Paper Doll Dress Up cricut cartridge. The 5 candle was cut from Sweet Treats at 3 inches. 
I know I've said before that I don't like to toot my own horn, but HONK HONK! LOL!!! I think this may be the cutest thing I have ever made! I cut out the puppy at 3 3/4 inches on blackout and the regular cut from Everyday Paper Dolls. I cut two so I could stamp the face on the blackout head, and use the regular cut to give this sweet girl dimension. I cut the front legs and ears off (eek!) and then attached them to the blackout cut with rolled up glue dots and pop dots. You can see what I mean in the second picture above. Her ADORABLE face is stamped with the new 5-7" Everyday Character Face Parts stamps from peachykeenstamps.com. For my sentiment I used "think pink" from The Pink Stampers new stamp set called Simply Sweet Occasions. Finally I added some rhinestones for her collar and for the dots of the i's. I hope you are having a great day! 
Hello! It's challenge time again,and here is my take on this one. I used the Faceless Veggies One set to stamp these cute peppers and then added their little faces with the Simple Sallies set. The papers I used are from the Cupcake collection by Basic Grey which is meant for birthdays, but I inked it all up and made it rustic.
Ok, I admit it, I am addicted to kraft cardstock. There. I feel better. ;o) The "Best Fishes" card was made by cutting the cute lil' fish out with my Animal Kingdom cricut cartridge at 2 inches and then stamping the ADORABLE face. The face comes in the Animal Faces Medium set from PeachyKeenStamps.com that has a face for EVERY animal on that cartridge. Cute, huh?! 
Hi friends! I am in LOVE with the kraft cardstock from papertreyink.com, so it would KILL me to waste any of it. So, with the leftover strips from cutting a few cards out of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets I made these two little cards. They measure 8 1/2 by 2 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Turns out to be a really cute size. These are simple so I'll just tell you which products I used in case I can be of any enabling assistance. LOL. The owl and tree are from a Colorbox stamp set called "friendly forest". The swirls are from an Autumn Leaves set called "girl power borders". The sentiment on the owl card is from cleardollarstamps. And the {HUGS} sentiment on the tree card is from the Simply Sweet Occasions set by my pink stamper. Oh, and the large wood grain background stamp is by All Night Media. Hope you are having a great week so far!
Hi! WOW 20,00o hits on my blog already! WOO HOO! Thanks everyone!!! I had planned on doing a giveaway, and still do...This just really crept up on me quickly and I'm not quite prepared yet. Be sure to check back and see what I have up my sleeve.hugs,Nikki ;o)
Hello, AGAIN! LOL...Right after I posted the card on the post below, Robyn a.k.a My Pink Stamper posted a challenge on her blog...So I HAD to play along! Anyhoo, the challenge is to scrap something you love or make a card and send it to someone you love. I chose the card option because I AM NOT a fast scrapbooker, and my "stories" are about to come on. HAHA So anyhoo, here's my card and I'll be sending it to my sailor whom I LOVE! Again, paper from the Monstrosity pad by Sassafrass. Have a great night all!!!!
Hello! Here is just a really quick card I made this afternoon. Nothing like a little scrap therapy to pass the time on a lonely Valentine's day. :o) I am happy to report that I got a phone call from my sailor at sea today!
Hi! My friend asked me to make her a card to send to a little boy who is dealing with some yucky health issues, and this is what I came up with. The card is cut from the Wild Card cricut cartridge on blackout at 5 1/2 inches. I stamped the dinosaurs on the spinner and colored them with my prismacolors and blended with OMS. I also did the same thing to the envelope. The "hello jack" banner was printed from my computer. Then I just snipped the tails and added pop dots to the middle to add dimension. I hope you're having a great day, hey, it's ALMOST FRIDAY. :o)
Hello everyone. Here are a few non-traditional Valentines I made yesterday. I just LOVE this stamp set from Recollections called "Robots". The "heart you" thought bubble stamp was just a dollar at Michaels in the Valentine section! Cute, huh?! On the bottom card I used My Pink Stamper stamps from her new sets. The "hello" stamp is from the Everyday Occasions set. The trio of hearts next to hello are from the Simply Sweet Occasions set. All papers are from the K and Company Valentines stack that I am totally in love with. Have a great day!!!
Hello! It's time again for another PK challenge! This time we just have a super simple sketch to follow. For my card I stamped this sweet lil' elephant which can be purchased HERE . I colored her in with my prismacolors, and I am THRILLED with how she turned out! I am also loving all my new goodies from papertreyink.com. Their kraft cardstock is just to die for! I also used their satin ribbon in hibiscus burst on this card and tied it with their cream button twine. LOVE the button twine! The pink patterned paper is from the K and Company Valentines stack which I know is still available at Michaels but you better hurry if you want it. Oh, and finally, I poked two holes (EEK) on each side of her trunk and threaded embroidery floss through and tied on that sweet xoxo charm.
HELLO!!!! Happy Super Bowl day to you. This is another card I made for my friend Steph (hope you like it!). This one is going to her Mother-in-Law who is moving to another state. I had FUN making this one, I went purple crazy and LOVED every minute of it! I went to Michaels the other day and picked up these gorgeous prima flowers and I FINALLY got a wood grain background stamp. I stamped the wood grain with Tim Holtz' clear embossing ink and then clear embossed it. The CUTE stamp is, of course, from PeachyKeenStamps. This little cutie can be purchased HERE . All the papers I used on this card are from my first order through papertreyink.com and boy does their cardstock ROCK!!! Their white gives such a crisp stamped image, so I totally recommend it! The cardstock colors used here are Plum pudding and Kraft. Thanks so much for taking a peek!
Hello my bloggy friends! My friend Steph (hi Steph!) asked me to make her a couple cards and this is one of them. (I hope you like it Steph). This style is called a Waterfall card and I am not going to attempt to explain the directions for making one, as someone else has already done that! Click HERE if you would like further instruction.
