Gingerbread Man Easel card

I used a polka dot background stamp by Hero Arts with pink Umbrella ink. The gingerbread stamp by Stamp N Plus. I stamped it onto a Spellbinders die cut before coloring it in with powdered chalk mixed with paint. I gave the icing some dimension with Liquid Pearls. The border is washi tape and the sentiment was typed up on the computer. 

I did not to take into account that there was another design on the other side of the paper, duh!

The circle is punch by Creative Memories. The pink door stopper is a former hair clip.  Thanks for looking.

Pink embossed butterflies with a pretty flower card

We need some pink in between all this blue layout stuff.!

I have to say, when I was looking at this card to write this blogpost I was clueless about the manufacturer for the leaves stamp on the tips of the die cut. 

But then, for whatever reason, I lifted my head and this stamp set was the first one on a peg.  Quite often stamp sets get moved around as I'm looking through them.

The leaves stamp comes from the Sincere Sentiments designed by SCDesign by Simonne Clay from the Cardmaker and Papercraft magazine. I bought it on Mercari with a bunch of other things to make my purchase worth the shipping cost. There are a lot of nice sentiments, see picture below.

Then, here's my next thing. The circle in the center is by Elle's Studio. I won these products years ago so I put them on my desk so I will see them and maybe use them. It worked because I used one here and on an upcoming card. 

The other details of the card are:

 The white and pink die cuts are by Design Objective Designs. 

The pink ink for the leaves is from Scrapbook.com. It's their own line of products called Umbrella. 

To finish up, the center circle is from a Jillibean Soup and the butterfly background embossing folder is by Gina Marie. I did put a little bit of distress ink on some of the butterflies

My craft room has a half wall (3'x6') and a wall (5'x5') with pegboard for my stamps. 

When people come into my craft room for the first time, they say it looks like a store. Also, they've no idea that the packages on the wall are stamps. Most people think of stamps as rubber on a woodblock.

Here's a picture of the stamp set

Deep Red Stamps For the Record Cards

I used a record stamp by Deep Red Stamps 

You can find the record stamp right here

The sentiment is alphabet stamps by Lawn Fawn

The patterned paper is by Me :)

I stamped the record in different colors on a sheet of off-white cardstock.

My rows weren't straight but, it works.

The colors look so different from out in the sunlight compared to lights inside. I thought it would be fun to see how I stamped the records on the cardstock after I cut it up and made it into cards.

Inks:

Dark blue-Ranger Blue Ribbon

Lighter blue-Hero Arts Cornflower

Aqua-Hero Arts

Green-Stampin Up

Green under that-Umbrella Sea Glass

Yellow- Ranger Archival ink Chrome Yellow

These are different size cards that I found in my stash, 3 3/4 x 5 3/4. 

I'm trying to weed out things like that because I have a vintage suitcase that I keep my cards in and this size card doesn't fit well. I'm donating cards to nursing homes and other places and therefore I'm using the opportunity to get rid of cards of different sizes-that sounds horrible. 

Thanks for looking

Mom ATC's

Mother's Day ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) for my swap at Scrapbook.com

All the ATC's have a chipboard "M" that are unknown. I like the way these one turned out. I usually don't like to do all the same thing when it comes to these swaps. I felt like these ATC's were different maybe because of the colors or because each one has unique differences (I used a stencil for on and a stamp for another) that made them feel like they were different but yet are alike. I'll stop rambling.

The rest of the supplies are unknown.
