5 MINUTE WEDDING CARD
I don't have a picture of the inside but I took a 2" black panel and used a border punch to punch the top then adhered by the bottom and sides leaving a 1/4" border on the bottom and sides of the inside of the card. I placed my money gift inside. Worked great.
My son came away with a goldfish he name Charlie. How? They had a goldfish in a tall cylinder vase on every table as a centerpiece. It looked nice as gave a peaceful feel watching the fish was soothing. Of course I am the one that put it in a vase, gave it water and feeds it. Hmph!
RECIPE:
Stamps: Monkey Love (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Paper: Cottonball White, Night Eclipse (Clear Dollar Stamps)

COLOR WEBS
People seem to either love Halloween or don't. I happen to be one of those that LOVE the colors and costumes and jack-0-lanterns. So I had fun making this card in Halloween colors. I love green, purple, orange and black together for Halloween.
So when I saw today's Ways To Use It Challenge VERSAMARK this is what came to my mind. Well....not exactly...my first idea bombed so this is what I worked out without scrapping it and starting over so that is why my images are not more centered. My original idea only needed the corners showing.
I used this adorable new release SPIDER GREETINGS from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS.
I stamped my webs in VersaMark then used White embossing powder and heat embossed. Then went over them with Tim Holtz Distress Inks Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint then just sponged the edges with Walnut Stain.
I faux stitched around my main panel for this month's Fan Club Fabulous Faux Gallery.
RECIPE:
Stamps: Spider Greetings (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Paper: Cottonball White, Night Eclipse (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Ink: VersaMark, Momento Tuxedo Black (from Clear Dollar Stamps), Tim Holtz Distress Inks Spiced Marmalade, Walnut Stain, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, White Gelly Roll Pen

FURRY FELINE
So...this month's theme is CUTE AND FURRY. I pulled out this cute Christmas set MEOWY CHRISTMAS. So if you have Clear Dollar Stamps....pull them out and play. If you don't....play with what you have.
I took my back panel of Red Velvet Cake CS and scored at 1" intervals then stamped with the cute little ornaments that come with this set with Momento Rich Cocoa. I sponged around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain. Then paper pierced. Pretty simple.
For my oval, I used my scallop and plain oval dies. For the oval I embossed and sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Vintage Photo. Then I colored and sponged my image, cut it out and popped it up.
I put the sentiment MEOWY CHRISTMAS inside in red ink along with another cute image from the set in the corner and on the outside of the envelope.
This is a simple card for Christmas.
Hope you are inspired...now come play with us.

POLKA DOT CAKE
This is a simple simple super simple card I made for today's Clean And Simple Challenge WAYS TO USE POLKA-DOTS.
The first thing I thought of was this BIRTHDAY CAKE from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS and I used a sentiment from BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION too.
All I did was stamp my image, color it simply and cut it out. Then I measured a 1" border all around then stamped my sentiment where I wanted it. After that I made dots along the rest of the lines I made. I erased my pencil lines and popped up my cake. Simple enough for you? I love to color, so I could just sit down and make a dozen of these to have on hand. I am tempted.
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Birthday Cake, Birthday Celebration (Clear Dollar Stamps)
PAPER:Cottonball White (from Clear Dollar Stamps)
INK:Momento Tuxedo Black (from Clear Dollar Stamps), ZIG Millennium .05 black pen
MARKERS:Bic Mark-It Markers

CUPCAKE SPIDER
I played in today's FEATURED STAMPER CHALLENGE ON SCS.
Congratulations Alanna aka AL_SILVER2 for being today's Featured Stamper. I just love your style.
I chose this card of Alanna's to case.
Changes I made:
Made an inside to my card
Made a smaller punched panel on white card
Added an embossed sentiment
I am using the newly released set today called SPIDER GREETINGS from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS
RECIPE:
STAMPS: Spider Greetings (Clear Dollar Stamps#
PAPER:Cottonball White, Night Eclipse #from Clear Dollar Stamps#
INK:Momento Tuxedo Black #from Clear Dollar Stamps#, VersaMark, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain
MARKERS:Copics, Grey Bic Mark-It marker
ACCESSORIES:Martha Stewart Spider border and corner punches, Top Boss White embossing Powder #from Clear Dollar Stamps), Dimensionals, Tim Holtz Blending Tool, Heat Tool
TECHNIQUES:Sponging
Here is the inside. This will be for my son's 17 birthday which is in October. That is why I felt it was appropriate to use this set with the spider. I used his favorite colors, red and black. We always give him money so he can get what he wants so I made the inside border to hold money.
Thank you so much for looking. If you leave me a comment, I can come look at your creations.
