Card Circus

Hello Bloggers!
Well, my kiddos and I stamped all day today! We had a lot of fun together and everyone made some cute cards I think. :) Here are a few of mine.

Puppy Love Valentine

• Stampin' Up - Animal Valentines (retired), Studio G's i adore you
• Black cardstock, and I think the heart paper is from the Paper Studio
• Red ribbon, crystal rhinestone brads
• Cotton Candy & Christmas Red Stickles for the glitz!
  

Thinking of You

This card is from a SmARTworks sketch challenge..I'm way late, but still getting my version out there! Here's a link...Heidi designed this sketch!

• All Stamps by Studio G
• Red DCWV cardstock, striped paper by My Mind's Eye (Magnolia Stack)
• Marvy Scalloped Square punch (thanks Heidi!), Stampin' Up's circle punch
• Black Diamond Stickles

True Love - Gator Style!

• Stamps are Animal Valentines from Stampin' Up (retired)
• black cardstock, I love you paper by The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)
• Christmas Red Stickles for the hearts and Crystal Stickles for gator's body

I think this one is my favorite of the day. Super simple too! I paper pieced the butterflies.

• Stampin' Up Shapes and Shadows butterfly stamp, sentiment by Studio G
• teal DCWV cardstock
• timber brown stazon
• Pattern paper is My Mind's Eye Magnolia Stack
  

Oh, how I dislike making sympathy cards! Some of our friends had a grandparent pass away this week, so this card was made with them in mind. I actually used a card sketch from SmArtworks. Here's a link to one of the designer's sketches.

• Matthew 5:4 stamp by Stampabilities
• paper by My Mind's Eye (magnolia again!) brown DCWV cardstock
• Timber Brown Stazon, big brown buttons

Tiny Miracle

And life comes full circle with a baby card! Other friends of ours have recently announced that they are expecting their first child. I wanted to send our congratulations, so here's what I came up with. Colorful huh? I wonder if they'll think I'm wishing triplets on them? LOL

• All stamps by Studio G
• Paper is red DCWV, My Mind's Eye stripe (magnolia)
• Prismacolors, mineral spirits, Crystal Stickles, yellow eyelets

In other crafty news, I'm still plugging away on my afghan. I finshed one square last night at a mom's night out at a friend's house. Plus, I finally received my invite to Ravelry! I was so excited! I only had to wait about two weeks, so that wasn't as bad as I thought. The patterns there are just amazing, and I'm lining up projects one after the other. That's probably not a good thing, huh? LOL
