BSS IDEA - You're a Classic

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea

Hi friends.

Awesome weather if you love the heat!

For those of you who follow my blog,

the fish finally came out from hiding for

10 days, after the Heron was in the yard!

They are coming up to get food twice a day

but are nervous. (can't blame them)

Of the 13 fish we had, 8 remain, one being

a 12 year old that is an original from the day

we opened the pond!

This week's card

Don't forget, Father's Day is Sunday the 20th!

Stamp - Cling Classic Car - Stampendous (CRP348)

Blue, Black, Silver Mirror and white card stock.

Silver embossing powder

Word - DAD and inside sentiment is from a large

family stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps that I have

had for a very long time.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a good week.

Until later...

BSS IDEA - Flowers in the Garden

WELOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

Hello Friends.  WOW, I spent the weekend watching the 

wonderful presentations from the 3rd Maker's Mania.

So many great ideas.  AND our very own home store

Buffalo Stamps and Stuff featuring Sharon, participated

for the second year and her cards and project were awesome

and she did a fabulous job teaching us all the how to's of each

one.  Twenty store owners from across the US, Canada and the UK

participated, and it was awesome.

This week's card

Stamp -Large Mixed Florals-Slim Scenes, Impression Obsession 3259

I water colored this beautiful scene, then cut it into four equal parts

(and if you don't think it scared the heck out of me to do that, you would

be wrong!!) matted on yellow paper and glued to a blue card.

The butterflies are stickers.

And they didn't photogragh well.

Word sentiment on the inside is Spellbinders Spring Quotes STP-026

Going to be hot this week, so crank up the AC and craft!!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great day

Until later....

Seahorse

I have returned to my Lavinia Stamps and bought a boat load of new ones.

Enjoying making cards with them.

I'm stuck on the Ocean/Sea lately

Sea Horse Sebastian, Lavinia Stamps.  

Fish, small sea horse images and jelly fish Also Lavinia

Swirl stamps - Inkadinado

Inks used Elements

Background paper by Lavinia

Martha Stewart corner punch

Spellbinders Grand Dies

White glitter paper frame

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a good day.

Until later....

Seashells

I'm so excited about this card.

The set, including the die, stamp, and embossing folder is

from Stampin Up"  It was a pretty pricey purchase, but

it is so beautiful AND my daughter and Granddaughter

love anything to do with the beach or ocean. So it will

get plenty of use.

The outside layer is holographic silver card stock (from Michaels) and

it catches the colors in the image and from the light in the room

when you take pictures of the card.

The inside sentiment from the stamp set says "Love you to the Beach and Back.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a good day..

Until later....

Mermaid Love

Hello Friends.  I have a card today that I have been wanting to make

for awhile and just did not get around to it.  

My Dad was in the Navy and my Mom loved to dress us in 

little sailor dresses.  So, this sailor and mermaid caught my eye

because I love both of these.

I stamped it in light gray ink  because it is quite a dark stamp, then

colored it.  The mermaid is covered in star dust stickles after I

colored her to make her look wet.

This beautiful stamp is called Mermaid Love by Techniquejunkes (#698)

Card uses Kraft cardstock, turquois card stock, white cardstock, and

turquois glitter cardstock

Colored with Copics and a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a good day.

Until later.....

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.  This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their Continued Support
