Special Big Sister

Hi everyone,

I've been doing more and more personalized work recently and  it feels me with a sense of satisfaction knowing that  the card I just made will find its way to someone special.

I loved working on this card. This Magnolia stamp was so perfect for a Big Sister card and I had no idea I had it until I started looking through my stamp collection -- does this mean I have too many? The "Big Sister" sticker is the think that set the color combo. It comes from a paper pack by K&Co from a long time ago. So I just chose my Copic markers according to the paper pack. The rest of the sentiment was made on my computer. I also stitched the mat with my little sewing machine.

Of course, big sister needs her bling as well! I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the wings of the sister and the baby.

I also started decorating the inside of my cards as well as the envelope. Just an added touch that makes it even more special.


Have a nice stampin' day !!!

Punched Swag

Good day everyone!

This is the start of a brand new year and I trust everyone had a fantastic holidays. We are back in full force after a much needed break.  Gen and I decided that there would be no daily themes for our posts -- from now, anything goes! Oh, we're gonna have fun with it :-)

And I know that the holidays have come and gone and that a lot of you are a bit saturated with Christmas cards, but I really wanted to show you this one and I am proud of it.

The swag is basically a whole bunch of branches punched with a Martha Stewart Crafts punch, then glued unto the oval with Tombow Multi-purpose Glue.

After I've put together the swag, I added a bit of Liquid Glue and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Glitter over the whole thing. I love that effect. The hollies are regular pearls that I colored with a red Copic Marker.

I made a few of these cards for special friends but are not given yet... better late than never!

Have a nice stampin' day !!!
