Okay okay I know this is like an overload of pictures but I really like this layout and I wanted to take tons of pictures to show it off lol. Plus, I think I just did three posts in one day, awesome. I'm normally very streamline. Straight lines not a lot of extras and I think I'm finally breaking out of that shell woohoo. Anyhow I made this for two challenges sketchy thursdays
and sweet stampin challenge blog

Here's a list of What was used:
Punches- heart to heart punch from Stampin Up!
ink- none
embellishments-rub ons chipboard stickers
stamps-none
extras-acrylic paint (which I forgot I love)
paper-stampin up night of navy and something else but I don't remember what because I just pulled it off the stash pile.

I <3 you Beary Much!

OH no song title on this one lol. But I loved making this card. The colors are so fun. I love love love the new in colors.

This was for All Sorts Challenge
and Crazy 4 Challenges

Allsorts provided me the sketch and crazy 4 challenges is due thanks for the polka dots. :)

What was used:
Punches- 4" circle cut using sizzix die and cuttlebug, 1/2 inch circle punch
ink-basic black from Stampin'Up!
embellishments- glitter glue
stamps- beary nice wishes, and Beary Best Friends
extras- None although I did use dimensionals to pop the bear and the sentiment up
paper- OMG I love this paper I got it for Christmas. Its pattern paper from SU. All of it. I know the base is barely banana and night of navy is the blue color but I'm not sure about the pink I think it is melon mambo? IDK
color medium- I used the chocolate chip ink pad as well as the blender pens for her skin color and I paper pieced her dress as well as her shoes. Isn't she adorable. Ah I love her.

One other thing I have to mention this card is 5 1/2x 6. This is the first off size card that I've completed because it looked like the sketch called for it. Opposed to the 4 1/4x 5 1/2 that I usually do. But I really like the way it turned out. I cant tell you how much I love SU paper. I'm afraid I'll be a paper snob for the rest of my life now. lol

Hope you all are having a great night. Love to all.

masculine happy birthday card

Anyone an Eagles fan? I love this song. Okay so onto this one this is for the second day of sketches over at Splendid Stamping with the Greeting Farm. I also incorporated the challenge from 365 Cards. The challenge was to "Dig into that stash and find something that you have never used but can't seem to get rid of. Now put it on your card!!!" Well that is where the stars on this one came from.

What was used:
Punches- none but I did use the fiskars oval cutter.
ink- memento tuxedo black ink
embellishments- stars from I have no idea
stamps- Edward(my man) from tgf
extras- ribbon from idk stitched with the sewing machine, white gel pen
paper-Isnt the paper awesome. All the paper is from Stampin' Up! The base is bordering blue and the pattern paper is muierfield dsp. Love it!
color medium- copics

Loads of love card

I am totally infatuated with Stampin' Up! right now. I made the previous card and didn't feel like it had enough SU stuff so I had to make a completely SU card. lol It must be OCD creeping up on me in my old age. So this card is for the Creative Card Crew Challenge found here
http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/

What was used:
ink- basic black for the truck
embellishments- 5/16" brads in whisper white
stamps- loads of love (truck- inside it says thought you could use a little pickup) This is my favorite stamp set.
paper- OMGoodness isn't this paper the best. The card base is card stock in tempting turquoise (my current favorite) and the designer series paper is a collection of these two in colors Crushed curry, and melon mambo. They go so well with the temping turquoise. Oh and of course whisper white was used as a layer behind the crushed curry.

I hope you all like it. Let me know what you think. How do you decorate the inside of your cards?

Hugs,
Raven

This was just a fun card I put together using the scallop circle punch. I hope you like it. Everything that was used was Stampin' Up!

Love bugs I love them.

Okay these were something that I did for a swap on the splitcoaststampers website. Everything used was Stampin' Up. Love it. I cant even tell you how much nice material makes a difference in the overall product. The adhesive makes it so my stuff doesnt fall apart and the colors blend so well. Ah I love it. Okay so what was used.

Scallop circle punch that I got in the mail yesterday and I LOVE. I cant even stand it it is soooo awesome. I'll be posting some videos of the cool stuff I found and things you can make with it. Oh I love it.
I paper pierced some scallops for a different effect. Very cool.
Then I used the love bugs hostess stamps set. And brads various colors from the soft subtles collection. Thats it I adhered everything with Snail and inked it up with chocolate chip. Oh and I used the blender pen and colored the little bugs in with my ink. Awesome. :)
