Easter Greetings

February 10th, 2013

Finally after a very long time, I am starting to create cards again.

I am starting with an Easter card using a one of 3 digital downloads from Crafty Secrets. See Sandy's post here.

This card uses one of the many images you will get with the "Pretty Vintage Easter Eggs" I slimply printed the image, covered it with Sookwang double sided tape and poured some Glitter Ritz Crystal Clear ultra fine glitter and burnished the glitter until it showed a sparkle.

I used paper from Prima's Meadow Lark Collection and matted the image with Beaded Oval die from Spellbinders.

Happy weekend everyone,

Marisa

Playing with Crafty Secrets

Over the past few weeks I have been playing around with some imagers from Sandy's CD3 which is now available for purchase. The images you find in this CD are so crisp and easy to use.

This first project was made using the bird image from the CD which I printed and inseted into a Coaster I purchased at Hobby Lobby.

For this next project, I used several images from the CD and inserted them into Key Chains that I purchased from Michael's.

OK, I will be back with the rest of my projects as they seem to be loading sideways. I though I had fixed this problem but it is back to haunt me.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Marisa

Second attempt at loading the pictures for the rest of my projects. Well it looks like it finally worked and the pictures are not side wards. For this next project I used 4 images to cover up a wooden pencil holder that I purchased at the dollar store.

For my last project I made a Birthday card using the birdies stamp from "Birds of Joy" stamp set.

Paper Doll Card

Here is a card i made using stamps from Crafty Secrets All Dolled Up Stamp Set.

More Cards

A Bunch of Cards

Over the past few weeks I have been making cards but didn’t have the time to take pictures. It has been a while and my editing skills have deteriorated. Sorry if the pictures are not that great.

I used a mix of stamps from Crafty Secrets.

2 Cards and New Stamps from Crafty Secrets

August 16, 2011

Here are 2 cards that I made over the weekend using some new stamp sets from Crafty Secrets. Sandy was so kind to send me some to play with.

The first card uses several stamps from the “Let’s Hang Out” stamp set.


This second card uses a stamp from the “Birds of Happiness” set.


Bear with me today as I am using a new method of posting to my blog using Windows Live Writer. For some reason every time I use blogger to post the pictures I download get all messed up. So I hope this works better.

Deepest Sympathy

This card is made using a sentiment from the "Card Sentiments" stamp set of Clear Art Stamps from Crafty Secrets. DP is from Basic Grey and for frame around the sentiment is used Fancy Tags Two from Spellbinders. The bottom of the card was punch using an Anna Griffin punch.

Happy Easter - He Is Risen

Happy Easter Holidays to all.

H ere is a card I made to wish you all a Happy Easter. Card was made using an image from the Easter Creative Scraps from Crafty Secrets. Crafty Secrets make is so easy to make cards especially is you are pressed for time with their line of Creative Scraps. Just last year Sandy started to produce the Creative Scraps double sided. There is just so many things you can do with them now.

For this card I also used designer paper from Crafty Secret Heartwarming Vintage product. Paper was take from the Classic Paper Designs. To cut the piece behind the image I used Labels 9 from Spellbinders and the Sentiment is from the Happy Easter Clear Art Stamp set from Crafty Secrets and was mounted on brown cs cut with the Fancy Tags Two which is also from Spellbinders.

Hope everyone is spending time with family on this Easter Weekend. Easter is the time to be thankful for the great sacrifice Christ did by giving up his life to save us.

Wow, I cannot believe that the last time I posted anything on my blog was last year. Were has all the time gone.

I finally had some time to sit down and make a card which I am sharing with you today. This card is made using a new stamp set from Crafty Secret called Arts Bloom. Just check out this amazing stamp set that has 41 different images that you can build with.

The card I created uses 4 different images from this set. Images were stamped with Memento Black ink on white cs and colored with Copic markers. The big flower was stamped 3 more times and colored and cut in various places to create layers.

Sandy will be showing more samples in her blog sometime today, so hop on over to the Heartwarming Vintage blog and check all the new stuff that is coming out soon.

Here are 2 cards using new stamp sets from Crafty Secrets.

First one up is from the stamp set "Down on the Farm". This is a large stamp set with about 25 different images that you can use to make all sorts of farm scenes. Here is the Farm scene that I created using this stamp set and Copic markers.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday.
