DTGD and exciting news!

I won a free PTI stamp set by participating in the blog hop on Sunday.  I am so excited!  My card was on NICOLE HEADY's BLOG, how cool is that?!  Now, which set to pick?! 

I have another card for you - finishing up the DTGD challenges on Splitcoast. 

I LOVE this SU stamp set - that little snowman is too adorable!  I added some glitter by using Scor-tape to make my "snow" stand out.  I did some masking too.  I had to get out my trusty stampamajig to pull off the stamping where I had masked.  Don't you love this DCWV paper?!  Hope you have a great day!

DTGD altered sprial notebook

My sister in law had some extra sample notebooks so they found a new home with me (I love notebooks, notepads, organizers, etc!)  This is the before picture...

And after...

OOPS!  You can see how I practiced the stamping first on some scratch paper!  hehe!  Another picture of the front and one of the inside.  (There was some writing on the inside that I wanted to cover up.)  Notice the waves?!  I got to use my Fiskars wave punch that Joann's had marked WAY down - I love a good deal! 

I am revealing how old I am by using this sentiment but I LOVE the quote (and I really liked the 80's movie.)  I have had this stamp set from CTMH for a long time and have never used it.  I am so glad I found a place to use it!

Have a great Sunday!

Another card for SCS challenges.  I have really enjoyed this week.  The challenges have made me try new things and make card shapes I would of never done.  There are still more challenges to complete and I am deteremined to do all of them!

DTGD enjoy life

I decided to make a card for my hubby who LOVES to fish.  I used a brayer on the card to make the sky and lake.  I stamped and then clear heat embossed the images.  I wish I had done them at the same time.  I did the shore first then the boat.  The fishing line doesn't show up very well because I messed up.  I am pretty sure my hubby won't notice or critique.

DTGD meets Embellish Magazine

DTGD treat package for teacher

I thought I would make a little treat bag to go along with the teacher thank you card I made the other day.  I used a Sizzix XL die that I got dirt cheap to make this pretty little package.  I used the same color cardstock and another Sizzix flower die to make the bigger flower.  Then added a red button and twine to finish.   

I think some pieces of Dove chocolate inside will do the trick! 

DTGD card for hubby

I made this little number for a couple of challenges over at SplitCoast stampers.  And it is just perfect for my hubby - our wedding anniversary is coming up soon so why not start the cards a little early?  Who doesn't like a surprise in their lunchbox?! 

Believe it or not, I did a lot of stamping on this card.  I stamped all those hearts on plain cardstock.  This was one of my first attempts at masking (I stamped the sentiment first and then covered it while stamping the heart background).  I am hoping I get better at this in the future!  

Have a good one!
