Currie is our new designer !

I wanted to announce that Currie has agreed to become one of our designers. You will be able to see her creations here.  On Monday, we will start to post her projects.  The other designers are very happy to have her on board, we loved her cards and I think you will too.  I asked Currie to introduce herself, and this is what she wrote.

I really wouldn't know what to write when it comes to the introduction thing. I started making cards with my daughters (9 and 4 years old) as just something fun for us to do together and ended up loving it. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband says I live in my own world. I tend to think that's funny not bad.
Mike is my husband, we have been married 13 years. Madison (9) and Allison (4) are our daughters. Madison is all about rules and being good, Allison is just the opposite. They both are great at art. Allie once drew a perfect self portrait on her stomach with a permanent marker. I love being home with them (even on their worse days). Once in a great while my mom will watch the girls but its rare. I figure if anyone is going to screw them up it's going to be me! Mike works for M. L. Chariter. They do everything from clean up contaminated spills to drill oil wells. We laugh alot and try to find humor in almost everything. I don't like stuffy or up tight, it makes me uncomfortable. Our dog's name is Izzy. She is a chihuahua mixed with a yorkie.

I wish you a wonderful day!!!

Monkey Love Valentine

This is just a quick Valentine I made for Taylor this morning, I need to send it out today.

I used Cuttlebug Swiss Dots for the background on the purple. Everything else was cut out with Spellbinders and colored with Copic markers, I used Smooch over the heart the monkey is on and the small hearts to the right.

Written Love Valentine

Just a quick Valentine card. All of the black lined images are embossed. The pen on the stamp does have a heart on it, but I used small heart stickers over them. The heart on the envelope is colored with Smooch as well as the rose.

Monkey Heart Valentine

This card Chick Alizadeh did a while ago for the store.  The heart print paper is cut the long way, 41/4 X 11.  The top pink piece is added as a flap.  The monkey is mounted on the black and only is attached to the top pink flap. There are a few saying that can be used in the inside.

I'm Mad about You Valentine

These two cards I did a while ago but I thought I would share them.  The top card is pretty straight forward.  The heart is an old earring I cut the back off of and the 'kiss me' is ribbon I bought.

The bottom card I used the Cuttlebug for the black corners and the frame is a large slide frame.

Be mine Valentine

I stamped the circle design and the Be Mine with no idea in mind.  I just started picking up scraps from my table and started layering the Spellbinder pieces I had laying there.  I just got in the new Martha Stewart punches in the store and played with the heart corner punch.  The little hearts around the Spellbinder cut out is the hearts from the corner punch.  I am still not sure if i really like the corners added to this piece, but what the heck.  The two stamps are from our store, which we offer just the rubber, rubber on cling foam or wood mount. Thanks for looking.

Happy Feet by Claudia Schroedl

Claudia used the Happy Feet for her birthday card.  She folded the gold cardstock and stamped the image on the fold and cut it out.  She stamped the feet again on flesh colored cardstock and cut the feet out and glued them to the gold cardstock.  The background was done with the Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder.  The purple piece of cardstock is a single sheet, the rust color cardstock that the feet are stamped on is folded and the inside 'Birthdays are good for you, the more you have the longer you live'  saying is in there.

Claudia used the feet again for a get well card.  The outside saying is from Great Impressions-C134. The inside saying is a get well.  She stamped the image on blue cardstock and embossed with Swiss Dots from Cuttlebug, then she stamped the image again on flesh colored cardstock and cutout the feet and glued them to the blue.

This is one of my favorites.  She again, stamped the image twice and cut out the feet.  She then wrapped the leg with gauze.  What a great touch! The inside saying is 'Hope you're back on your feet soon'.

Thank you Claudia for sharing such great cards!

We have the feet in 2 sizes and more sayings to go with them on the web site.
