For the Boys

It seems so easy to make cards for the GIRLS in our lives. Pretty, full of ribbon and flowers and hearts and love....but the BOYS?? That's a different story sometimes!

Guy cards are my toughest challenge, and I find that going plain and simple is the best approach. It helps to start out with a great guy image of course...I LOVE these bowling pins! Such a quick fun image. I paired it with a greeting from Masculine Birthday, added some great GUY paper (these papers are from the Joy Ride Mini Deck by Cosmo Cricket) and whipped this one up in about 15 minutes (which is probably my all time record!).

Thanks for coming by to look! Enjoy your day!

Purrfectly Wonderful Birthday!

This is the Purrfect Friends digi and I absolutely love the fun nose and long whiskers on this kitten.  He's so much fun to color and because he's a solid color you could even use some fun scrapbook paper and print him on that if you didn't want to color him.  He is paired with two wonderful sentiments that are PURR-fect for him! 

Hope you have a chance to go by the Sweet 'n Sassy store and see all the wonderful digis they have to offer.   If you haven't been in the store recently, there are 519 digis listed!  What a great variety of images and definitely something for everyone!

Customer Spotlight Sunday!

Today is Customer Spotlight Sunday and I have two beautiful cards to share with you from, Maxine D. She played along with our challenges that we have on PCP and SNR on Thursdays which makes it easy for us to find customers that use our digis. She was creative in using the same layout with two different Cocoa images.

We love it when you let us know you are using our digis! Be sure to post a link to your card(s) by posting a link below. We are always looking for cards or projects to use on our Sunday Customer Spotlight posts :)!

Purrfect Friend in pink and brown

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be one of the Guest Designers this month for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Today I'll be showing the first card I've made using some of the digital stamps that S'nS offers.

One of the sets that I chose for my guest designer stint is Purrfect Friend because I'm a cat lover and I also have a lot of friends that are cat lovers, as well. I'm going to get a ton of use out of this set. I already have the person picked out that this card is going to be sent to. One of my best friends that lives overseas in Belgium. We may have an ocean separating us, but that doesn't keep our friendship from growing. She can't have a cat where she lives, but she absolutely adores them, so this card will be the next best thing to having a cat to cuddle and it will also show her just how much she means to me.

I printed out my digi stamps and then used my Copic markers to color the kitty in. I never used to be a pink lover, but I've always liked shades of brown. Over the last couple of years, I've really come to like this color combo together. And this kitty looks so cute in pink and brown.

I used a scalloped circle punch to punch out a bunch of circles in caramel cardstock and snipped them in half to layer them behind the kitty to make a scalloped border. I used pop-dots to give it some height on my card. Some patterned paper and a little bit of pink and brown grosgrain ribbon finished my card off.

I'm looking forward to showing you my next creations next Saturday when I post again!

Challenge with Poppies!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!  My apologies for being repetitive and sharing another POPPIES card, but I just had to share this card that I made for this week's CHALLENGE!  This week's challenge is 'using Lace'!  Well, since I didn't have any real lace to use I used a Martha Stewart punch!  Be sure to check out this week's challenge at PaperCraftPlanet {HERE} and/or Scrapbook News and Review {HERE}; there is a great prize to be earned and many friends to be made!

Be sure to enter into this week's challenge!

Poppies

Happy Thursday!!!

Today I used a NEW Digi Stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy called Poppies. I'm addicted to making cards with flowers so as soon as I saw this was going to be released today I jumped on it. They were colored with Copic Markers.
Ok, here is the real reason I love Digi's. After I printed two sets of the size I wanted, I then made them a little smaller and flipped the image. This is why you see some smaller ones in with the original.

Today is also Digi Day over at SNR & PCP so if you want to pick up on a FREE digi, go one over and play along before Midnight est tonight. The theme for the challenge is, Let's Get Lacey!

Since this could mean many different things, I actually combined a MS lace border punch along with some lace ribbon.

Warm Blessings!

Super Card for a Super Dad

Hi Everyone!

Korin has been creating more awesome digis and when she previewed "Super Dad" to the DT, I couldn't wait to play with him. I look at him and can't help but giggle and think "Ta-Ta-Ta-Da..... Super Dad to the rescue", lol!

After coloring him with Copics, I used my Octagon Nesties to cut him out. On a whim I decided to create a flap fold card and decided not to use any designer papers, just card stock. I used the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment from the "Super Dad" set on the inside and also used the "Super Dad Symbol". Here's a look at the inside of my card:

Be sure to swing by the Sweet 'n Sassy store to check out the latest digis released this week. You'll love them! And don't forget to join us tomorrow for Digi Day in our SNR and PCP groups!

Many blessings!
