I am so in love with any stamp that is of an animal, this Christmas image is perfect.

 This image is called Season's Greetings Cardinal Card.I love when the sentiment and image are all together like this one.
My image was colored with Copic markers. Matting was done twice to bring out the colors in this image.My airbrush machine was used for the background.I found this patterned paper at Hobby Lobby and just love the pattern
Burgundy ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon worked to add the texture.
Just a few red pearls to decorate from Pizzazz Aplenty.I even used a little Liquid Glass to accent the berries.

Now I couldn't forget to share a view of the inside, just ready for a message.

Candy Cane Wishes

Today my Eureka Stamp image is one yummy project.

Can you believe it is only one month and five days till Christmas?

Let me share my card today.

 I started by coloring my image with Copic markers, then I went in to touch with a little Creative Inspirations Paint.

I found this Stampin Up paper in my stash and knew it would be a great background for my red Candy Cane.

Now you know I fussy cut and pop dotted to my card.

I little greenery and red berries make it really pop.

Last I added a few  red pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty.

Did you know there is also the Legend of The Candy Cane background stamp available at Eureka Stamps, bet this would be wonderful together.

Baby,Baby Baby

Today I have one of the cutest Baby Invite ideas to share.

I found these Baby Animals,4406 Invitation  from Eureka Stamps I was hoping a cute idea would come to me.

 I had some CTMH paper that fit the colors I wanted to use.Image was colored with Copic markers.

Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The inside is all ready for the info to be filled out and sent on its way.

Hopefully someone will need some of these and I can pass them on-Had so much fun making this design.

There are many more stamps available to choose from at Eureka Stamps.

Legend of The Butterfly

 It is time for me to share another great design using Eureka Stamps- this is probably one of the quickest and easiest cards I have made.

Decided to share a couple versions of the same design.This background stamp is Legend of the Butterfly, so perfect for a Christmas card, but I chose to group it with Large Lacey Butterfly and use it as a Thinking of you type card.
The designer paper and card stock are from CTMH . The butterfly was stamped on plastic shrinky type material- I believe this is one from Wendy Vecchi. I used Stazon so it would be permanent. I ended up just coloring on the backside of the butterfly with my Copics. After cutting out the butterflies I warmed them with my embossing gun to shape the wings. Once they cooled they were permanent.
I also used Viva Pearls in Gold to accent the wings and the background of the card.

So have you started your Christmas cards yet? Pop over and check out some great Background stamps to copy this design. Maybe you are looking for a more traditional type Christmas stamp for your cards, check out this link at Eureka Stamps.

Up Up and Away

Wanted a round shape card base to make this scene. All images colored with Copics. The images were fussy cut and pop dotted to add dimension.

Send In The Clown

Have you been checking out the many balloon, and balloon holder stamps, we have been showcasing at Eureka Stamps this month?
I have one more card I would like to share- hope you like him.

I used the following stamps

7702 Clown holder

5205 elephant

8001 zebra

5209 giraffe

This is such a simple design but I enjoyed all the pieces together. I cut circles out the front of the card and matted a larger shape around each.

I colored all the images with Copic markers, and cut out each image.

I centered each animal to pick out from the circles except, for that one stray balloon that always seems to get away!

I used string from Pizzazz Aplenty to anchor the other balloons.

So glad  I could share so many balloon holder, and balloons with you this month.

Welcome To The Circus

 How about some fun balloon and balloon holders to share from Eureka Stamps?

I stamped (with Stazon) these images on a shrinky Dink type material from Wendy Vecchi.

I colored on the backside of the stamped image with CTMH markers.

Once the ink was dry I cut out each of the images- then I used a white wash paint to cover the back.

I used wooden skewers and hot glued the images.

The container is a decorative white band-aid box with animal paper from CTMH.

I am sharing a couple views that can be clicked on and viewed closer.

 All the images were colored with Copic markers and accented with Liquid glass.

Purple Coneflowers Are So Fine

Well what do you think about me doing another card with this fun Eureka stamp?
55901 On My Heart  is one of those images that can be colored so many shades and ways.

Colored with Copic markers and matted on a piece of patterned paper from my stash.
I love that this sentiment  ( YOUR ON MY HEART)can be used for many situations- So I must admit I am glad I have made several  made and  waiting for when I need them.
I think Eureka has some wonderful images for any occasion- and most can be used for several situations.

Wolf Spirit Guide

American Indians put much significance in the importance of their spirit guides. The  wolf is one of those important ones.
Some of you might know that my children happen to be American Indian- so I enjoy the heritage and meanings.
Eureka Stamps has one of the best I have seen- really this majestic wolf is magnificent.

So do you think he lives up to my words?

Very basic card- but so impressive with this handsome 

36501 Wolf.

 I used some Copic markers to accent him and the greenery That is fibers I tied on the side. Image was matted with some embossed card stock that looks like leather.

3-D Crafts Are so Fun To Make

Today I have some great 3 d projects to share from Eureka Stamps.
I was so fortunate that Maribeth from QKR Stampede asked all of her design team members to work with the 3 d images.
So let me share some of the finished projects I made.

This first card was made with the fern and leaf set-I am showing several I made with plain card stock and also a pattern paper. I love that there is stitching on each frond and all I did was fussy cut and fold the piece.
The lion is also from QKR Stampede.

These two cards above were just so easy to put together and so fun to use on a card using the orchid pattern.. Papers are from CTMH and Hobby Lobby. Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

These are what the pieces look like after being stamped and cut out.You actually use the back side of the stamped images.

My last card was made with the daisy pattern .Paper and doily from my stash, ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This is what the daisy looks like after being stamped and cut out.

That is what I have to share today from Eureka Stamps. I hope you check out the many 3 d images available- you won't believe how many there are in the store.

You've Been On My Heart

 I knew when I seen this image at Eureka Stamps- I had to play with it. Now I love to color with my Copic markers , but I know this would love lovely just stamped without any color.

If your looking for an image that will wow the receiver then this is your stamp.

Wanted to show a close up- where I chose to use a piece of Tim Holtz alterable as a way to highlight the HEART word.Pizzazz Aplenty gems
I always enjoy a stamp that includes a sentiment and image all in one.
The butterfly was highlighted with Liquid Glass.
