Snowflakes and Snow Woman

This is my last post as one of July's Sweet 'n Sassy Guest Designers.  I wish to thank Korin and team for this wonderful opportunity.  I have had a great time using your wonderful sets and can now say I have tried and enjoyed digi stamps!!  

This darling image just steals my heart every time I see it so I had to finish off with a snow woman!!  I made a very conscious decision not to use blues on this snow themed card and went with lots of pink instead -- she is a snow woman after all :)

I glittered her hat and the "snow" and then added some punched snowflakes with bling in the middle around the image, despite the fact I used the snowflake embossing folder in the background, as they gave a little extra "umph" to the card and balanced it off nicely.  A perfect, girly Christmas card :)

August Gladiolas

Good morning!  I have a card to share with you today from the flowers of the month collection at Sweet -n Sassy Stamps.  This beautiful August Gladiola stamp is full of beautiful details, and is so much fun to color.  I chose neutral colors to go along with this beautiful paper, but it would be beautiful done in any color. I cut the image out and popped it up on foam dimensionals for added depth and interest. 

It's so nice to have cards like this hand for birthdays, or thinking of you, get well, or whatever you may need a quick, general card for.  Have a beautiful day, and happy stamping!

Hugs,

Lorie

Books to Read

I love to read. Hence, the reason I've become a librarian. I have lots of friends who like to read as well, so I was playing around with an idea for a little gift for book lovers. Here's what I came up with.

I took a little spiral bound notebook (I think someone gave me this one, but they are probably less than a dollar a piece at the store.) I covered the front with some pretty designer papers. Then, I wrapped a ribbon around it and added this adorable digi image from SNS called Milton Reading. What's not to love...a mouse, a flower, a book...perfection! I colored it with my copics, added the sentiment, and some colorful ribbons tied to the spiraled wire. Now, it's ready for me or a friend to fill with those books on my wish list. Yes, I probably will need all those pages for my wish list, though I'll never have the time to get to all of them! This would also be a cute way to tuck in a little gift card for Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.
Cheers!

Single layer Gladiolas Card

I love making single layer stamping only cards. I pulled out the August Gladiola flower and decided to stamp it repeatedly across my card front on top of already subtly patterned paper. I then went back over my flowers, pretty lightly, with Prismacolor pencils to make the flowers pop.I decided to leave the pencil unblended for a softer look. I added the sentiment that comes in the set, punched a butterfly and added a pierced butterfly trial and punched the edge of my panel. I think it came out really pretty but is very mail friendly. I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

Apple Lovin' Cocoa

Happy Tuesday! Wow has this month flown by! I've had a blast being a guest designer this month and would like to Thank Korin for the wonderful opportunity!

For today's card I once again used the Autumn Lovin' Cocoa set. I choose to make a fall card but I think he would make a cute back to school card too! I did alot of sponging and wrapped it will some twine and finished it with a button.
