Ice Cream Anyone?

Here is another card I made using the same Blossom Paper pack as my  last card.  This one uses the June Stamp Of The Month (Ice Cream Dream ).  I think it is a cute, refreshing stamp set!  I also used some green embellishments from our GREEN AND BLUE EPOXY BUBBLES.  I colored the ice cream cone with my ShinHan Touch Twin markers.

The inside of the card has another image that I colored and fussy cut.  I used one of our Spring Adhesives behind the ice cream truck to give it a little movement!  All products are Close To My Heart and available for purchase on my website::  www.scrappinwithj.ctmh.com !

What do you think of my card?  I am leaving the inside blank for the message to be written.  I like the truck moving like it is rumbling down the street!

Stop back anytime!

New Cards Using Blossom Paper Pack

I apologize for not posting for a while.  Life has had me busy busy busy!!

Here are some cards I made the other day.  All are quick and easy and made with Close To My Heart products.  Our Seasonal Expressions 2 book goes live on April 1 and this paper pack is in it!  The name of the paper pack is BLOSSOM and I just love it!  The colors and patterns are so springy, and I am ready for some SPRING!

On this first card I used our stamp set called A LITTLE NOTE.  (sorry, our CTMH site is down right now so I can't link the products.  I will try to get back when the site is running again to do that for you!)  I colored the daffodils with my ShinHan alcohol markers.  Only used 3 colors and think they matched up with the paper real well.  If you aren't familiar with the ShinHan Twin Touch markers, they are great!  Coloring with them is easy and fun!  (I use my black Memento ink pad for stamping when I am going to color the image so the ink doesn't run.)  The sentiment is from the stamp set A BUNCH OF THANKS.

The next card uses our HOPPING BY stamp set.  I also colored it with the ShinHan Twin Touch markers.  I love the PURPLE SHIMMER TRIM  too!  On this one I used 3D FOAM TAPE to pop up the bunny in his car!

On these last 2 cards I used the A BUNCH OF THANKS stamp set.  One has a little bow of EXTRA THICK TWINE in Lagoon.  That twine is so fun to use, and we have it in a few different colors now!

Cards using Picture My Life cards

Hello!  Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you will like the cards I am posting.  They were so quick and easy to make using a couple of 3x4 cards from a Picture My Life kit.

On the top card, I fussy cut the owl out of one card and attached it on top of another card!  Inked the edges of the PML card and the Cotton Candy cardstock I used and my card was finished!  On the bottom card I used a PML card as it is, without doing anything except inking the edges!  I stamped my sentiment and put a little strip of Washi Tape and the card was done!  On both of these cards I used PML cards from the Chantilly kit.  They are so springy and pretty, but all the kits have cards that can be used when making quick cards!
Check back soon for more ideas on how to use those extra Picture My Life cards!

September StampOf The Month card

Hello!  Welcome to my little craftin corner!  Sorry I haven't posted much lately, I have been pretty busy.  Tonight though, I am posting a card I made using out September Stamp Of The Month.  It is a 2 stamp set and will work great for Autumn and Christmas/Winter.  The name of the set is Poster Tidings and you can see it HERE.

I used the new SARITA paper collection and Sunset and Outdoor Denim cardstocks and inks.  Sarita has such pretty colors in it and I think they work well for Autumn!  Keep an eye out for me to post pics of using the other stamp in the set.  I haven't made anything with it yet but will soon.  Remember, the Stamp Of The Month is only available for one month (this one is Septembers) and is $5 with a qualifying $50 purchase.  Suggested retail for it is $17.95
If you would like to place an order and purchase this stamp set (or the paper packet), visit my website at www.scrappinwithj.ctmh.com or contact me!
Thanks for stopping in, and come back soon as I have more things made to post pictures of!

Same, but different

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog today!  Last week I came up with an idea.  My stepdaughter Kim, and I would do a 'Same But Different' challenge.  I made us each up a kit of things to use and set some rules.    We could only use the papers and embellishments that were in our kit.  We could use any stamps, inks, coloring mediums, dies, and other tools that we wanted.  Our card could be for any occasion we wanted, and it had to be done by the weekend.  The kit consisted of 2 pieces of 6x12 double sided print CTMH papers, 2 pieces of 6x12 solid color CTMH cardstock in co-ordinating colors, 3 different buttons from CTMH, a 12 inch piece of sheer white ribbon, a 12 inch piece of tiny strung white pearly beads, 3 white Prima flowers, a blank card base, and a stamped Tilda image.  This was on Monday, and yesterday afternoon we got together to see our 'Same, but Different' cards!  Here is the results:

This is a close up of Kim's card:

She used Prisma colored pencils to color her image, a Magnolia Doohickey die for the tag, nestie dies, cut a strip of the striped paper to run across the bottom of her card,  a string of the tiny pearlies down the side of the card, inked her white sheer ribbon green, and colored the pearl centers of the flowers pink!  Not sure what brand stamp she used on the tag for the words.   Great job Kim!!

A close up of my card...

I used copic markers to color my image, glimmer misted my flowers with Pink Taffy, used a TPC Studio stamp for my HELLO, and Gold Stickles on the crown.  I also used 2 different Nestie dies.
My ribbon and pearly beads are run across the top together.

This was a very fun project, as neither of us had any idea how the other one was doing their card.  We weren't even sure which side of the double sided print papers we were each using, but as you can see, our tastes ran similar on that!!  I think we will have to try this challenge again sometime!!

Thanks for stopping by.  We have been having beautiful spring weather here in the midwest, hope it holds out, and winter is gone!  Raining today, but with any luck with that will come spring flowers, greener grass, and maybe even a little crafting time!!

Come back soon!!

Secret Sister card

Here is the card I made today for my Secret Sister in a swap on the cricut mb.  She hasn't got it yet, but since it is reveal month, I think it is safe to go ahead and post it!  Below the picture I will list everything I used for it.  I have colored the Tilda image with my copic markers.  I love coloring with them, but it has been a while so I'm kinda out of practice.

I used the following copic colors:
E000,00,01,27,55,57,71,74,79
Y04,06,08
YG63
RV21,23,25
V09,12,15
C3,5,7
and my blender (0)

The image is Magnolia Water Can Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection, stamped with Memento ink on XPress-It cardstock. 
DP is DCWV from the Mod-Retro Stack
Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder
Prima Flowers
'Friend' CTMH "Say It In Style" set
CTMH inks:Sunny Yellow and Hydrangea
Yellow cardstock, ribbon, popdots, and brads are from my stash.

I hope my SS likes the card!  I know she will like all the goodies I am sending her with the card!  Those I will NOT show you on here!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you take a little time to look around and would you do me a favor and feed my fish for me.   Thanks!  Please come back to check out My Little Craftin Corner again soon!

NEW CARDS

Here are a couple of cards I made recently!  The first one is the one I made for my June Bug Secret Sister, the wonderful AmyMLT.  Of course I used a Tilda, I colored with Copics, on it.  Pretty much everything is just from my stash as far as paper and lace and stuff.  I hope she liked the card!

This other card is one I made to have on hand.  It is a Bildmalarna image called Little Mimosa.  She, too, is colored with copics markers.   Everything I used on this card is also from my stash.  I made the little tag using my Making Memories tag maker!  It gets neglected often and shouldn't cause it is a great tool!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  Grab a glass of tea and relax a bit, feed my fish, play my game, and maybe get a little inspiration.  Come back soon!

Happy Scrappin!

Happy Father's Day Dad!

Here is the card I made for my dad this year for Father's Day.  I find it very hard to make 'man' cards, but was pretty pleased with this one.  I started out coloring an Edwin, but just didn't have the perfect one for my retired farmer dad so gave up on that idea.  Then I put my thinking cap on and came up with this idea.  I used cheesecloth that I inked, a Tim Holtz stamp, and pretty much everything else is just from my stash.  I think my dad liked it when I gave ito him while ago.  We had a nice lunch at their house today and both my sisters, my brother and myself were all there to help him celebrate the day!  Any my mom too, and some of the grandkids and great grandkids.  Family gatherings are always so nice!

Happy Father's Day Dad!

This picture of me and dad was taken one Sunday at church.
