You're So Tweet

Hi to all of you. Just a quick card today.
This is one of our new sayings. I added our small bird flower on the corners, I stamped, colored and fussy cut them out. I colored with Copic markers. I think you can use this saying for just about any reason: birthday, friendship or just because.
Hope you have a great day today!

Quirky Craft Challenge Reminder

There is a picnic/BBQ challenge over at Quirky Craft.
Crackerbox are giving a $15.00, $10.00 and $5.00 coupon.
A couple of the girls made up a few more cards to share.
 
The first one is from Lyn. I like the way the ant is holding the sign of Life's A Picnic!
This is her crafty inside. I love how she made a tree stump out of the pop out. The ants sure do look busy!
Doris made some tags, aren't they cute? I think it's a cute idea for any kind of tag or putting on a dish to pass.

Doris also made the easel card. I like the sun she made. The ants are taking off with everything.
 Cazzy made this cute birthday card. It is a gate fold. Her ants look very busy too.

Hope you enjoyed the ideas.

Dragon and Bull BBQ

Vicky here today. Since the weekend is coming up and it is still summer here in WI. we BBQ any chance we get. I thought I might do a non-standard BBQ invite with a little humor, since most of our stamps are on the humorous side.
Thought I would add our fire dragon for the heat.

And added our bull (who I think is funny looking)
for the steak.
I added a jump ring in his nose.

Under the flap of the bull is the steak!

You can do the invite inside the card.
Hope you enjoyed the humor. :)

Stampscapes Sound of Silence

Hi there, Vicky here today. I thought I would share this card I made with Stampscapes.
I used the stamp positioner to put this card together and used Copic markers to color it. I also used the stamp positioner to fit the words on the small piece of card stock.

Butterfly Heart

Vicky here, and happy Monday. This is another thank you card I made for a friend.
I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers. I used a Martha Stewart corner punch for 3 sides around the image. The Thank You is a separate stamp.
The embellishment on the right side is a bracelet I found at the Dollar Store that I took apart.

Stampscapes cabin on land

Hi, Vicky here today to share some new Stampscape stamps.

I really like the new stamps from Stampscapes. Kevin has done a lot of great images.
This is his 343I Bayou Shack that would usually be in the water, but I wanted the shack on land. I did keep the cabin on the posts rather than putting it right on the ground. Some cabins in the northern part of our state has cabins on posts.
The hill on the left side is named Rocky Waterside, but it makes a great hill on land also.
That is one thing I really, really like about Kevin's stamps is that you can use his stamps and change them from land to water, or water to land.
I colored the scene with Copic markers, and stamped the clouds with Brilliance ink.
 

Hope you can stop by and take a look at Kevin's new stamps.

Father's Day Grill

Vicky here today. What does your husband like to do on Father's Day?
John likes to grill out. He does the grilling since he doesn't trust me, and I am not sure why since he has never let me, but I haven't really argued to do it either. But he likes to grill and have the kids over.
The apron and the stamp on it are two different stamps. We have 4 stamps for the apron.
These are copied from the wood blocks but you can get them in cling foam here.

Dad Sail Boat

This is another card that Currie made. She colored it with markers and added brads on the top of the sails. The black cardstock is distressed with Tim Holtz tool. Currie also used Distress ink around the edges of the image.
Hope you enjoy the idea.
Thanks for stopping by.
