Card Orders...

MIL's birthday card.  Popped up some shapes, shaded with distress inks. Made the sunflower from Spellbinders.

Bird Cage birthday card

Tim Holtz all the way!!

I was commissioned to make 15 birthday cards, plus I made another 10 or so for my mother in law's birthday to give away.  Some of these are a selection from those, as well as for my own personal use.




Inspirational cards.  New Memory Box Cherry Blossom die used on this one.


Made the flower with the TH tattered florals die and a couple of coffee filters.

Masculine thank you!


Love the high heel stamp.  Masked it so that I could stamp the pair!  The saying "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world"

A birthday card for my friend.  The bircage, bird and "J" charm are dangling inside the circle cutout in the front of the card.

Just sittin' here thinkin' of you!

Monotone - whoa!  This is so not my style, but I love the way it turned out.  Lots of Tim Holtz.


Love clocks!  This was a commissioned card.  Lots of layers, it was heavy!


I don't have alot of "new home' or "moving" stamps, well, none really, so I came up with this idea and used a ton of different stamps to create the full moving boxes.  Boxes were cut from Nesties, filled with a variety of household items that I hand cut out and the Couh and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink.


L'Il Inkers Pinwheel Die.

Love this Vintage phone!  I made this card for Administrative Professionals Day!


My oldest daughter plays hockey, so this is a thank you to her hockey coach.  Hard to find a feminine hockey stamp, but it is for a male coach!!

Another Administrative Professional Day Card.  Love the Layered Butterfly Paperclip!!

Inside sentiment

Vintage Style Dressform Birthday card

That is all for now!!  I am sure I will have some more to post soon.  Any questions or comments?  Just let me know, I'd be happy to answer them for you... Thanks for stoppin' by...Lisa

All You Need In Life is a Friend Who Has Chocolate - SU
Chocolate is cut out and popped, and blinged up.

Used the Tim Holtz dressform die to make the bottom of the lamp, just cut out a shade.  Rolled roses from MFT, Tim Holtz Papillon stamp in versamark and clear emboss as background.

New stamp from Unity - love it!!  it is a Charles Dickens quote running up one side and down the other of the tree.  Babies are stickled and the image is colored with distress inks, cut out with Spellbinders squares.

Inside of baby card.

Tim Holtz new bird on a branch die, with Martha Stewart punched flowers. Bird is popped up.
