2011-09-26T10:00:00.000-07:00

I've been having some fun actually. The Asian lady is one of my fav stamps! Next up, the butterfly card. Colored in with my new Bic markers, I love them!!! The purple poppies, again with Bic markers. The next flower is done with watercolor pencils. And last, but surely not least,
is one of my tangled creations, done on black c/s instead of white. I really like how it came out.
As always, thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Just Tangling!!!

2011-09-05T11:06:00.001-07:00

This was a fun one to do! It is a Zen-Mandala. Hope you like...

Wow, long time past due!

2011-09-05T10:55:00.001-07:00

The blue card is for a swap. Love how the 2-step came out.
The border of flowers were done in watercolor pencils.

This blk/white card is from a DCWV. Love it, and the saying is Hero Arts.

The flower border around the saying is an atc and I drew the flowers!
The lady was cut on Cricut with MTC.

The sunflower is done with markers! Hope you've enjoyed a look around.

FOUR NEW CARDS

2011-07-21T16:06:00.000-07:00

Wanted to use a butterfly on the first card,and this is what came out of it.
The next, with the diecut leaves I absolutely fell in love w/this one.
The third card is so "sweet" hence the name.
Recycling some parts of this card and came up with this.
Hope you've enjoyed looking my cards over. Do leave a comment.

BUSY MAKIN' CARDS AGAIN!

2011-07-11T13:01:00.001-07:00

Having fun making some cards once again! Most were some new stamps I got recently.
My very favortite one is the asian quilting. I got some wasi papers and the kits to do it. I love how it looks! The stamp along side of it is old.
The others are from Hero Arts. All except the one that has "Family" on it and it is from Stampendous! It is one of their jumbo stamps. I called them background stamps~ Anyway, the one with the bird and the one next to it (poppies) were done with VersaMark and chalks. The last one is VersaMark and white embossing powder then rubbed chalk inks over it!!

IT'S BEEN WAY TOO LONG!!!!!!

2011-07-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

Here are a few cards I've scanned for you to see. Not too much to say about them, except I had fun pulling them together! Hope you will leave a comment as to what you like or dislike about them.

Been busy stamping and die cutting!

2011-05-09T10:33:00.000-07:00

Too start out, here is a lotos flower cut on Cricut in MTC, from a paint chip! Layered with Stampin' Up! designer paper. I love how it looks!
The next is a flower from Gina K Designs, just a simple card. But sometimes we love simple, right?

Well, as you can see, I'm in my pink mode! My favorite color. The hibicus was done at a craft show and just now decided to use it on a card.
The tulips are unmounted and I used Prisma colored pencils for my coloring, Punched out the border from Fiskars.
The green lettering and a technique called "emerging leaves" by Gina K. Love this technique.

SOME MORE CARDS

2011-05-02T15:53:00.000-07:00

Here are a few different cards I've made today.

The Oval is a new stamp I got from Gina K. Designs. It was this particular stamp that made me get it!!! I like how it looks, you?

The Green square card is for a birthday of one of my members on one of my groups. Also,a Gina K. stamp set. It is very versetile! Simple but sweet I'd say!

The last one is my version of what Gina K. came up with for the clean and simple card.
The stamp used here is an older stamp of Stampin' Up!~ I did a couple variations, but it works!!! Of course,
I love black and white/cream!!!

COUPLE OF NEW CARDS

2011-04-29T16:14:00.000-07:00

Having fun with some stamps I got a couple weeks back. Hadn't used these as of yet! Hope you
like them. Both are the same stamp, but just paired with different color cardstock/ribbon/flowers!

Cute Little Girl!

2011-04-08T15:54:00.001-07:00

NEW CUTTING CAFE CARD

2011-04-08T12:16:00.000-07:00

Here are my first two cards for this month! Both are Easter themed, wonder why!?
The blue card is a shaped card thought it was pretty cool and the other is the background and egg for one file. You may find them as these titles:
Easter set 1a and Fun Time

I DO LOVE FLORALS!!!

2011-04-07T12:50:00.000-07:00

These are some floral stamps I got at a stamp show for the 2nd and third card, and the first one at JoAnns.
The 2nd card was stamped on some heavy texture so it gives it a really grunge look. The next one is on smooth white c/s and edge with distresse ink.
The first card, is really one I thought turned out super! This is the stamp I found at JoAnns and did have fun putting it together. Thanks for stopping by!

2011-03-26T20:58:00.000-07:00

alternate access to your blog in case of emergency.

I managed to lock myself out of my You Tube account a few months ago, so I apologise to those people who asked me questions or left a message. Before anyone asks, no my You Tube account is not connected to my blog, I used another (can’t remember) email address to join.

Anyway, after this event I thought I better investigate how I can prevent the same thing happening with my blog. My solution was to use one of my other email accounts and give permission for that account to have admin privileges on my blog. Well, to be honest I have a few email accounts for various reasons and I gave each account admin privileges. Surely in case of emergency I will remember one of them, plus this time I had the sense to write down the details in a notebook.

1. Open the blog Dashboard and select the Settings tab
2. Select the Permissions tab
3. Click on the blue button, ADD AUTHORS

A new window will open and lists any current authors.

4. Enter your alternate email address in the empty box as shown below and press INVITE.

5. After selecting INVITE an email will be sent to the new email account. Follow the instructions and the hyperlink.

I will admit I had a bit of trouble getting access through the link in the email. If you have problems sign out of your blog and try again. If you have Internet Explorer on your computer and choose to use Firefox for internet browsing this is even easier to set up. Stay signed into your blog in Firefox and paste the hyperlink provided with the new email in Internet Explorer. It is the method I used to set up new email accounts and allowed me to be signed in with both identities at the same time, one in Firefox and one in Internet Explorer.

When you first access the blog with the new email identity you will find you have very limited access on your blog. Basically you will be able to add a new post or delete your new identity, as shown below. I wanted full access so I went one step further.

6. I signed back into my blog using my original identity. Once again I opened the Settings tab and then the Permissions tab. I located the new email account which currently has author privileges and granted admin privileges. If you follow these steps you will be able to sign in with either email account.

Don't forget when you sign in using your new email account to use the password you normally use for that account and not your existing blog password.

I got this from Aussie Carolyn

BACKING UP BLOGGER BLOGS

2011-03-26T20:54:00.000-07:00

Backing Up your Blogger Blog

I am may be the last person to know about backing up a blog but just incase I am not the only one I will show how easy it is to back up a Blogger blog. Now I know this is so easy I plan to back my blog on a regular basis.

1. Select the tab Settings
2. Select the tab Basic
3. Select Export Blog

4. A new window will open, click on the orange tab DOWNLOAD BLOG

5. Select Save File and click on the Ok button.

Compliments of Aussie Carolyn

THE CAFE'S INSPIRATION APRIL

2011-03-25T11:07:00.000-07:00

So sorry the colors are washed out here. And you cannot see all the little sparkle from the Stickles I used either. But it was fun to make and really turned out super. It is a shaped card so it opens for any message you'd like to use. I layered the main card with the little snowflakes scrapbook paper then dotted stickles on some of the snowflakes. Use pipe cleaner for the antenna.

ANOTHER EASTER CARD

2011-03-12T13:29:00.000-08:00

This card is made with a Penny Duncan creation. The cross is cut in MTC with my Cricut. Too bad you can't see the em-bossing around the cross, I used my oval Spellbinder die to do it. Bummer you can see it. The saying was from
my Design Maker and printed with my Design Runner.
anyway, I hope you like it.

Put a band of felt flowers across and the tiny little yellow flower brads just brought it all together.

CHRISTMAS CARDS

2010-11-26T15:49:00.000-08:00

The 2 snowmen cards were re-purposed. Most of my re-purposed cards I've punched out cards from last year with a large tag!
The next one, the christmas tree is another re-purposed card.

Now, the last two, they were so much fun to make. They are bi folds. Hope you enjoy looking thru these.

Some more cards

2010-11-24T17:33:00.000-08:00

The orange card is embossed with a folder. Then I used my Oval Spellbinders to set the stamped image into.

Well, hope you've enjoyed looking at these cards, I sure had fun creating them!

www.stampsmith.net

LOTS OF CARDS!

2010-11-03T18:25:00.000-07:00

The blue card is with Sher's scalloped rosette. Love how it finally came out, Glue was my biggest chore. Next, the rose card for a swap on my other group, "R".

The red/blk card is my fan card cut w/cricut. and the bird cut the same way. The bird is one of Paulo's designs.

The purple card, I really like how it came out, it was a combo of cricut, spellbinder die and punch.
This green/red card is a cased card from my good friend Sam Hartford. The green sides fold in and you see the band that slips over it in the next pic.

I love this card, it was inspired from Gina K tv. It is the gate fold with a twist.

Next, we have a digi stamp, and it would be great for Father's Day. or any day for a dad.

My last card is another inspired card from Gina K. I used Cricut to cut mine with scal and there is a secret to having it fold open without showing on the front. You score in 1/4" from top of back part. Hope you've enjoyed looking at these cards!

2010-10-07T15:56:00.000-07:00

This is a Michelle Zindorf card I recreated. It is great for Breast Cancer Awareness!

2010-10-07T10:20:00.000-07:00

This goes with the others before. This was our Make the Cut, using any diecut or punch. I used Spellbinders ovals. The little girl was wet embossed and colored w/markers from SU!

2010-10-07T10:18:00.000-07:00

Done with wet embossing. Colored with markers from SU!
The next card, orange and blue, colored in with watercolor pencils on watercolor paper. Cut w/Spellbinders.
The little owl card was for the Letter "O" swap in one of my groups.
the giraffe card, the print was from a gal on SCALhints, ty girl. I drew it with Cricut markers.

GOT MY MUSE BACK!

2010-09-19T10:33:00.001-07:00

The first card here on your left is out of metal embossed on Cricut the file is Penny Duncan's. Love how it turned out. The second one here, I cut the tiny scallops on Cricut, layered it with a stamp from
Stampin'Up!

Here is another file of Penny's with the Stampin'Up! toile set. Love how the colors came together. Next, is from DCWV cardstock, I cut out the colorful images and put them on the muted images of same card, it's very whimsical!
Stamped Live it Up with one of my clear stamps.

Here we have a fun card. Stamped the images 3 times each to give a dimensional look. Cut out the scallop from Spellbinders this time layered and stamped the delight from Stampin'Up! Used ribbon underneath. The green and yellowish card was done with the Versamark resist technique. Used another Spellbinder die for the tag!!

Last, but of course, not least, I stamp the image of the tulips, by Outlines company. Layered it onto some more of the DCWV then onto my mine card.

Hope you enjoyed looking today! I love reading all of your comments too!!!

2010-09-01T12:27:00.000-07:00

These are some stamps from The Angel Company. I feel in love with the little girl and when ordering; found that I got a little boy too!!! Hope you enjoy looking at these.

Sympathy for a friend

2010-08-09T16:39:00.000-07:00

My GF's dad just passed away the other day so I needed a sympathy card for her. I used one of the FreeSVG that they gave away awhile back. Perfect for the card I needed. I also used a corner punch that I had to finish it off.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE SO HERE WE GO

2010-08-05T19:53:00.001-07:00

The black and cream card was from another matstack called Le Creme their all in this yummy colors. I cut out on my nesties the scallop oval and the oval stamped the roses colored them with markers and stamped the saying on one of the Shapeablilities, Fancy Tags.

Here the flowery card is what we call a
Waterfall card. You pull the tab at the bottom to open each of the layers. Fun to do.

Next, this is a reverse nested file. You cut out the center and then I put a smaller nestie stamped and glue in center.

The last card is from a matstack I got at JoAnns and it is called the Mariposa stack. I fell in love with all the butterflies in this stack.

FINALLY GOT MY MUSE BACK!

2010-07-19T18:30:00.001-07:00

Well, of course they come out with the last one I scanned!
So here we go, I cut out the circle on my Colozzle and then used a corner punch with the corner goody removed. Punched around and then cut another circle 2 lines down from the first one and stamped it.
I got the irredescent paper at the Art Warehouse, I love it.

Next card, I cut out the lady walking her dog in black, it was done in scal on my Cricut. The leash broke, so I used my Zig pen to paint the leash and collar in silver. Also used that same irredescent paper different color this time tho.

The pink card I cut in Scal and stamped the image in Siver metallic ink and embossed in same color.

The next card, I love how it came out! Drew this in scal with a purple gel pen~it is one of those files that wouldn't cut good! Mounted on purple and then Yellow base cardstock.

Last, but for sure not least, I love this card. I used one of Paulo's Peony cut files. Drew it in scal on Cricut, colored in with markers and cut out on Cricut then cut a shadow in green for it. Oh, I'm so loving this file! TY Paulo for sharing with us! The saying is mounted on a Spellbinder die fancy tags, one of my favorites!!!
Too top it off, I used the Swiss Dots on the main card before mounting everything. How do you like it ladies and gents???

2010-06-22T16:55:00.000-07:00

The first two are large shipping tags, it is hard to see the detail in the soft colors, but take my word it is amazing!
The next blue card, is bringing a little winter into some of those warm days some of you are having! I don't remember whose svg file this is, but I love it.

The last is my embossed metal card. To get the embossing, I had to use the Cricut, turning the metal on the back side, otherwise it would have been debossed, and this just wouldn't look as good that way. Well, hope you enjoyed your stay. come back soon.

Hugs to you all,
Cheryl

2010-06-22T16:50:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone enjoys looking thru my latest adventures in stamping and diecutting! I had lots of fun here. The mauve colored card the template is from Pennys nesties. Love it. You can just barely see the skeleton leaves around her face. The next is stamping on actetate.

The last 3 cards are digi stamps, I guess I was on the "digi train" love using them now!

WELL, I'M BACK AGAIN TO SHARE WITH YOU!

2010-06-08T16:54:00.000-07:00

Well, I have really been on a roll lately!
Here are another 6 cards that I've done yesterday and today so far!!!
1st done with distress inks. Not as pretty on here as it is in person.
2nd I used Posh rainbow inks on the compressed sponge. This is such a great thing, because the sponge dries and all you need to do is spritz w/water and it is re activated!
Third is a simple card, used the reverse nestie technique here. Number 4 no particular technique just having fun putting together another card! (It is the long card)
Today I used some digi stamps and these two little girls turned out great I think. How bout you?

Couple of Cards

2010-06-06T12:44:00.001-07:00

The first card shown to your left is cut on Cricut w/ SCAL. I don't remember who's file, but I feel in love w/it! Behind the cutouts in the butterfly is envelope paper on the inside I just ran some inks over it and Voila!!! It is the same as the little scallop on the edge of the card.
Now the sunflower was done in watercolor pencils.
Next is a SU! stampset I love. Last, but not least, is my Heavy Metal card!!! I cut open a can of coke and embossed it in the CB folder and on the embossed (raised parts) used a Sharpie to color. Just too cute I thought!!!

THREE NEW ADDITIONS TODAY

2010-05-28T18:23:00.000-07:00

The black and cream colored card I saw on the internet, from one of my groups I believe. My bad, should have wrote the name of the artist down. My is slightly diff from hers tho.

The yellow and pink is a gate fold card. With the oval on top attached to the left side of card and the bottome saying to the right side. Of course, don't with Spellbinders!! Gotta love them.

The last card here is the Pink and yellow w/white. It is called reverse nesties. Saw it on Gina's TV. so just had to try it out. Love how it turned out.

HAVING FUN CREATING!

2010-05-23T12:46:00.001-07:00

This lady is so elegant, for a time past. The scallops is done on velvet like paper. The background is done in Mica Gloss on glossy c/s.

The next card is a resist technique. I love doing this technique.

The Journey card is really fun to do. It is done with was or can be done with crayons just the same. It is called Encaustic Wax technique. No two are ever the same.

The next purple card is Mica Gloss with stamps and a twist! fun too.

The last card here is a fun card I received years ago and decided to case it. It has a bookmark right inside! It is raised so you could see what it says...

4 MORE CARDS

2010-05-09T11:09:00.001-07:00

Here we go!
The red card was an old tech. I thought to bring back again! It is the bandana tech. I forgot to stamp it on red c/s so I brayered the red and the stamped some white little flowers and embossed them.

Now the blue card is pretty much obvious! Done on Cricut from SCAL, and at the moment I don't remember who shared the bird with us...but I thanked her for it. Stamped the saying top and bottom.

The white doesn't do it justice on the scan. I embossed one of the borders then used my scoring board to score 2 lines the embossed with a CB foler the swiss dots. layered with striped paper and the c/s for main part of card.

The yellow card I love how it came out! first started with white glossy c/s the stamped my image and then then crayon in white marked the areas with it then brayered over with yellow. Then you wipe away the ink from the crayon. It's called Crayon Resist. Layered with blk/cr. c/s and the yellow base. Hope you've enjoyed looking.

Couple of Cards

2010-05-04T15:23:00.000-07:00

Here is a couple more cards I've made. The reddish one is done by cutting a design from SVG.com on my Cricut.
The blue card is done with Spellbinders Impressabilities, I used it to stencil the design. I love how it came out.

HERE'S ANOTHER SET OF CARDS

2010-04-30T17:55:00.000-07:00

The flower card was using Nestie flwr that Penny made on SCALhints group. It slides open. The turtle card is just adorable. She is a digi. I got a card from a friend on my
group in a swap and absolutely fell in love. She was free also. The words came with her, I just changed them up and used the gel pen in my Cricut.

The king card was a clipart I had. And last, I have these 4X6 cardstock in a travel theme and thought the palm in the sun was perfect for it.
As always, hope you enjoyed looking.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

2010-04-21T17:30:00.000-07:00

Well, we start off with a simple card 3 1/2 X 4 1/2. The next card is the chandelier, the scan does show the words for the background.

The hugs and kisses card was a fun technique to do. It is called Feather Tye Dye. From 2008 Technique Junkie newsletter.
Another one for that same year is The Stenciled collage card. It is another fun one to do.

The next one is another Layered embossing card. I love that technique. You can see it in video on Hero Arts blog. Below it is Joseph's Coat techique. Hope you enjoy looking at the latest creations. I do appreciate your comments!

LAYERED EMBOSS RESIST TECHNIQUE

2010-04-18T15:03:00.000-07:00

This was so much fun to put together. I stamped the script background in Going Gray ( SU!) Then stamped in Versamark the flowers, then embossed, then I processed to color them with Distress Inks. Layered in purples and greens. The tag was Spellbinders again. Ribbon I had on hand. I really love how this came out. Tell me wht you think of it.

2010-04-18T14:58:00.000-07:00

These are some atc's I have been working on. The mother and daughter is "Toile"
Next, brayered background on the birds atc.
The floral atc is versamark ink and chalked after.
Last one is faux bleach technique. The butterfly was done with Spellbinders die/embossing.

The first card is one of my fav sizes, 3X4. The font is Coffee Tin, one of my fav again!
The next one using the same font, but a different look. The upper right corner isn't suppose to be a butterfly, when I was scanning it, one of the flower petals bend over...
Now, last but not least, I cut a lattice border that came from surecutsalot forum. It is so lacy, I love it. The top is cut from a Spellbinder die and the stamp is Stampin' Up!. Thanks for looking.

Latest Creations!

2010-03-02T11:22:00.000-08:00

The red/blk is from a font/dingbat I have. So cool don't you think?

The butterfly is just awesome, I backed it with a stamping technique called DTP or Direct to Paper with dew drop inks.

Here is another one of the silhouettes ladies, I love these. This one was a little more delicate to cut tho. But the end result is what gets ya!
Do you think I like red/blk together? I do.

Okay, now for the froggy! My girlfriend in my own group loves frogs, so she was in my mind for this one. Used CB embossing folders to enhance texture!
The last one, but of course, not least is one using Penny's nesties flowers. I inked the edges of each one to add to the whole picture. Thanks once again Penny!

So hope you've enjoyed my little tour of cards. I sure had a great time making them all.

LATEST CREATIONS

2010-02-05T19:05:00.000-08:00

Here are some cards I have been working on. The first one is an embossing from cuttlebug embossing folder. You can't see the stickles if put on the lights to make it look real. I love this card!
The next one, is from Spellbinders dies. the bookplates. You can't see the dimension of the pages on here, It turned out great tho. Third card a simple birthday card. all cut on Cricut.

Now we have an asian inspired card. I love asian themes! The next card is I believe called Pryamage layering. I didn't have any clipart suitable for this style, so I had to stamp out the 4 images and color each one in then cut them with Spellbinders dies. I love the technique.

Last, but not least, is a card I asked Penny Duncan to create for me. She did an awesome job for me. This is the result after cutting on Cricut with SCAL.

SORRY IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!

2010-01-10T14:36:00.000-08:00
