I heart You!!

Marcy  used Kitchen Gadgets 2 and Mad Gab for this adorable anniversary card. 

I love how she glittered the hearts...they really pop... I love saying I "heart" you.. sometimes instead of I "love" you.. I do love the yellow and red together don't you.. :)

love manly cards..

Lisa brings us a CAS collage card using the TIE ONE ON set. It's a perfect masculine card. I love how she used one of the background stamps as just a square.. and the way she put the sentiment on top of the bg is great too.. have a wonderful weekend.. hugs

Kitchen Gadgets 2-Yep.. Kitchen Gadgets is such a big hit we had to create another set to go along with them. This set also has some fun punny sentiments too..

 Monster Madness-Well we love our Monster Mash set and wanted to create another set that you can use to mix and match to make even more monsters. This is a seriously cute set.

Mad Gab-What release would be complete without a new sentiment set.? This is another fun builder set that will go along perfectly with all our other sentiment sets.

 Tie One On-Just in time for father's Day.. Tie One On is a great mix and match to make your own one of a kind tie, (sentiments inside tie are separate stamps) this also includes 3 fun patterns and some punny sentiments.

Annette used Christmas Magic and Get the Point to get her amazing message across.. I love the fun red trim at the top of her creation..

Barb used Get the Point?, get moovin and Priceless Joy to create this bright, lovey card. The coloring was done by dripping alcohol inks on glossy white paper. I love the fun and unique effect this had, making those colors really pop.

magic in the air..

Marcy created this amazing card using the Christmas Magic set. I love her tree, and how she used the glitter for her sentiment..

Lisa made this fun tag using CHRISTMAS MAGIC for her background. Love the paper pieced jam jar from KITCHEN GADGETS that she made into a candy jar using a small circle from PRICELESS JOY for the candy.

Barb has created something very sweet for us today! She combined our sweetest sets to make this bouquet of goodies; Bite Size, Hey Cupcake and AdoraBOWL. Be sure to visit her blog for more details!

Lisa is showing us a non-traditional wedding card using BITE SIZE. Love the shape and ring paper clip.

I just love this card Marcy made.. blue and brown are such beautiful colors to use for Christmas.. LOVE that fun charm too..

You can never have to many Mini Birthday Wishes when it comes to your birthday.  Annette used our super cute Bite Size stamp set to created this card filled with cupcakes.

Lisa made a CAS with the ornament from SNOW MUCH FUN and this fun sentiment from CHRISTMAS MAGIC. don't you just love how she hung the little ornament from the sentiment :) 

Laurel  has used the Get the Point? and the Work it Out sets to create this cute encouragement card for a friend who has lost 6 pounds on her newly started weight loss program! I love the twine at the bottom too :)

Interactive card..

I just LOVE interactive cards.. I think they are so much fun, and something everyone needs to try.. so here is a fun interactive card I made, and I hope you will join me and try one out for yourself..

Laurel has used the Christmas Magic set.  The snow globe has been mounted on foam squares for some added dimension. I love how she used the joy word in the snow globe to direct your eye to it.. and that twine.. so fun!

Marcy  also used the Christmas Magic set.. I love how she has used it in a label on a wreath.. those beautiful red touches just makes this creation pop off the page :)

yes...

yes it is true, we have some more amazing creations for you.. Annette used Bite Size, Get the Point and Priceless joy to make this adorable creation.. did you notice how she has the outside of each banner the opposite color.. that's because the Get the Point set is made to nestle :) 

Barb used Christmas Magic and made this adorable card.. I just love how she stamped the sentiment on the doily and made this card look so vintage.. don't you love how she fussy cut out the word joy and pop it out with that red paper :) hugs

banners

I don't  know about you but I love banners..Marcy has created this adorable card using the get the point set.. I love how she used the twine to tie them together, and that flower is perfect.. :) hugs

Laurel has created this using the Christmas Magic set.  I love the dimension she created by mounting the middle row of houses on foam tape.  Of course those glittery jingle bells finish off the card nicely!

hi

I don't know about you.. but here with us it is spring break and things are CRAZY around our house.. I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful weather outside..
 Barb created this amazing card using the new Get the Point set.. I just love how she has the little bird on one of the banners with the mini speech bubble.. so fun..

Here is Lisa's creation using Get The Point? and Priceless Joy. Just look at those sponged clouds. I love how she used the banner behind the plane too :) 

A Little Christmas Magic

Laurel has used the Christmas Magic set for this sweet little card.  Don't you love the negative use of the snowflake on the tag.  It is never too early to start on those Christmas cards.  Have you made any yet?
