Cheeky Beach Card

HI Everyone!!

Wow it has been a LONG time since I have been able to get a card done! I have been so busy working on another couple projects (which I will post one day) that I haven't been able to play with my new stamps I got for Christmas from my best friend!

So here is a Cheeky Beach card, made using the Cheeky Beach (The Greeting Farm) stamp, The K49 Bamboo Shoot (DeNami Design), B93 Mini Turtle (DeNami Design), and the Martini Glass from the dormant or retired Cheer to You (Stampin Up).

This card was a collaborative effort from my Mom and Me. We embossed Cheeky Beach, the Martini Glass, and the Turtle then colored them. After that we added stickles and glass effects to the Martini glass. We also cut out the bamboo shoots and popped a couple up. Cheeky is also popped up.

We had a wonderful time making this card, Enjoy!

Jan Valentine Hop Blog Hop

Hello everyone!! What a welcome to the New Year by having a blog hop! I hope your New Year was super fun and exciting!!
First off, you should be arriving here from the crafty Kimberly Kendle 's blog. If you missed the start you should begin at the the DeNami blog to make sure you get all the blogs to be eligible for the prizes! :)

Here's the deets for my cards: 

For the Valentine cards I made for this blog I used the DeNami M55 Large Heart Cookie ( so cute! ) and the XOXO D62 stamp. As an X-Men fan I love X's! I usually try add them wherever I can and this was the perfect opportunity. I used them as the background for most of the cards and the accent. All the cookies are "frosted" by some means,either glassy effects or iridescent ice. The pictures don't really do the "frosting" justice. This time I also used a sewing machine on the cards for the first time! I just got my own sewing machine and am still trying to get the hang of it.



This one was "frosted" using SU Iridescent Ice and I cut out the roses from the cookie stamp. This is the only one picture that kind of shows the gloss from  my cookie's "frosting".

I love the red of the cookie. :)

I wanted to use blue to make it more "manly" for a guy. This is the only one I dry embossed with the little circles for the texture.
This one was actually the last one I made. I used the cutout around as the mask to put the irridescent ice in the middle of the cookie. The piece looked neat against the brown cardstock so I decided to make one extra card. I think it ended up being my favorite.
