Clear & Glazed Stickers

I've departed a little from using only stamps to decorate my cards. I found some really cute stickers at our Dollar Tree that are acid free and great for card images. Miss Elizabeth's is the label. The stickers are great quality and an easy way to create a focal image for your card when you are pressed for time. I do, however, usually stamp extra images when I am making cards. I keep a stash of ready-to-use images in a little box. That way I am not always pulling out all of my stamps and ink and trying to figure out what to use.

Many of you probably already know this, but I just remembered how to create the ticket corner without SU!s ticket corner punch. I used my slit punch and eyeballed how much of the corner to crop. I know you can also use any sort of round punch, handheld or whatever. Ticket corners are just an excuse to use more brads--gotta love that!

The brads on the green and white cake card are purple rhinestones. They look really hot in person. And so does the cake. The stickers are embossed and glittered. Just a note, the colors really do look much better and coordinated in person. These pictures make it look like the colors don't mesh well. It's just an illusion.

Playing with Papers

Some simple thank-you cards.






Last week I finally had the opportunity to make cards for the first time in a month, it seems like. I went to the dollar store and bought some scrapbooking stickers (Miss Elizabeth's), and I bought some designer paper from JoAnn Fabrics a while back. So I played with my new stuff. Here's what happened. (I'm forced to use my RAZR camera because of the fatal rebellion of my Fuji digicam. Thus, the picture quality is lacking. For more info, read here.)
