Trena Brannon's Teriffic Cards

I wanted to share some cards from a stampin' sister. I met Trena at a stamping retreat, and I liked her from the moment we said hello. She has such a big warm smile and her energy went through the ceiling and her laugh comes from her heart.

I just had to show off Trena's cards. She made these cards with Crackerbox Palace stamps. She has some more great cards on her blog where you can see them here.

I don't know what your weather is like where you are at, but here it is cold and we have snow on the ground. So I thought these might brighten up your day and think of spring.

I think the thought bubble on the ants were a good idea, don't you?

 I like the stripes on the apron that Trena added.

 Trena used Stampscapes for the ocean which goes with Clara.

 Here are some cupcakes for any occasion.

Doesn't this look just Yummy?

I hope you enjoyed Trena's cards and stop on over to see what else she has made. Trena's blog.

Sweet Friend Card

Hello Stamper,

The saying, Day To Day was stamped on parchment-colored card stock, then cut out with Spellbinder die. I used a VersaMark pen around the outer edge to darken it (the card stock is so light it doesn't show up too well).

The Rose Long Stem in the corner was stamped and fussy cut.

I added pearls of two different colors on the 4 sides.

Hope you are having a great day!

Vicky

Rubber Stamp Madness Magazine

HAPPY DAY!

A couple of my friends and I were published in the Spring RSM magazine. I really liked this issue ~other than seeing my friends being published :) ~

it has all types of cards, from CAS to artsy. I had a fun time reading the stories they put with the cards. The stories just make the cards even more fun. I hope you pick up RubberStampMadness and take an adventure through the magazine.

The next few cards are under the Incredible Edibles section where you can read the stories.

This one is from Judi Downing named From My Oven on page 38. This is a perfect card for Judi to make since she does a lot of baking and all of us who know her, loves it when she shares her baked goods that are filled with love.

 

 

Here is a closeup of Judi's card.

The saying is from Crackerbox Palace.

The girl image is from Door County rubber stamps.

This is the close up of Currie's card.

All stamps are from Crackerbox Palace.

This is the card I sent in, (Vicky). This is a card that I had been thinking about for a while and just had to do it and get it out of my head! :0)

It's called Ant Picnic on pg. 42

This is a closeup. It's done with Crackerbox Palace and Stampscapes stamps.

 This card that Trena did is under the Going Green which is anything green. Her card is named Lucky Frogs pg 56. You can see her post on her blog here.

This is what Cazzy wrote:

Christmas Eve make, delivered to a neighbour at 11:30. I was making quick cards by this time, and this was the Crackerbox Palace santa and sleigh stamped onto linen effect card which was embossed with the snowy village and I added Ice Stickles to highlight that image. Crafty Ribbons of course, and by the time I got to Boxing day and still making cards I had refined this a little but didn't take more photos so I need to make some more so I can!

ATC Winter

Hope everyone is staying warm. It is getting a little chilly here in WI.  

 

I just wanted to share with you a ATC card.

I started with tan parchment card stock and stamped some snowflakes with Brilliance ink. I cut out the two frames from Spellbinders. I left the die on the one with the saying and sponged Brilliance ink around the edges. The snowflake in the corner is a button that I cut the shank off of and added glitter to the center.

The trees have Flower Soft below them to look like snow, and glitter for the snowflakes coming down.
