A New Adventure

Kenya Ketto and Sparkles

This is my first blog post.. a place where I can record all of my crafty endeavors. I'm not sure how often I will do this, as it is a steep learning curve for me.. computers are not my best friends!! We'll see how it goes.
My first card is a Stamping Bella image that I got at my LSS - Dat's. I made this card for my niece's birthday last year. I really liked the "sparkle"stamps.. so I used them to make the background paper. Stickles were applied to the centers for added 'sparkle".

 The inside of the card uses a sentiment that I printed from the internet, matted and added to the card, along with another Kenya Sparkle!


Stamps: Stamping Bella; Sentiment: Stampin'Up
Supplies: Nestabilities, Stampin'Up punches, brads, flowers; water colour pencils.

I used a variety of stamps to make this card for my niece's daughter. "Gigi" the Giraffe is a Clear Dollar Stamp, that is so cute and fun to colour in yellow and pink!! The small circular sentiment is from Close to My Heart and then I added the "1st " from another CTMH stamp set and used  glitter around the image and on the number. Mini pink pearls and pink gingham ribbon finishes the "girly" card.

I used a strip of yellow paper on the inside, to stamp the sentiment, and then mounted it on the designer paper. Hip Hip Hooray was stamped on the DP and then added on the top. I really like how it turned out.

Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps, Close to My Heart, Studio g
Supplies: Nestabilities,  water colour pencils, pearls, ribbon, glitter.
