Marissa's cards

Hi everyone. My daughter picked out the color combo below. Her 10th birthday is coming up and she picked the "friends" stamp to give to her friends for thank you's and then the cute design heart for family thank you's. She ripped all the Melon Mambo paper, stamped and cut out the hearts, punched the 3 smaller hearts, and attached the hearts with dimensionals. Quite a lot of work for 16 cards! And she has never been into crafts so I am very proud of her!!

Here are 2 cards I CASE'd right from SU. Wanted to use up some old buttons - think it turned out pretty cute.
I think I will give my hubby this one for Valentine's Day...otherwise I'll save for our anniversary - love the color combo!

Create a Cupcake birthday cards

Hi everyone. I made 2 new cards today with the new Create a Cupcake set out of the Occasions Mini Catalog. The first card I CASE'd right from the Stampin' Success magazine - very cute card!
I wanted to make a more "boyish" birthday card so I used Baja Breeze on this card - I can't remember where I CASE'd this one from...probably splitcoaststampers. I made 2 versions - just did different ribbon styles. Not sure which one I like better.

Animal Cards

I attempted to make some cards with animals on them today for my nephew. I got the idea for them from Kimberley Morris on SU's site. I think the bear turned out real cute but not so sure about the koala.

2 new cards today

Hi everyone. The first card I made today I CASED from Chera Wiest on the SU stampers showcase. Love the simplicity of the card and the yellow is so cheerful on this gray rainy day.
This cute card I made for my nephew's upcoming 2nd birthday. I love the dazzling diamonds glitter but boy is it messy! I've got glitter all over me!

Valentine's teacher gift and 2 new cards

Here is a cute Valentine gift for my daughters teacher. The treats stuck on the back of the scalloped circles are Hershey's Bliss white chocolate squares - they are awesome!
The "thank you" card I CASED from Stampin' Up! stampers showcase - I spent much more time on this card than I usually do - lots of die cutting with the butterflies.
This last card I made today using a new stamp set I just got. Always nice to have something like this on hand.
