Wild Bunch embossed....

 Last Bunch of the Wild Bunch.....since I do not want to tease you with a stamp set that is Sold Out.  I will have about 20 cards on the Rack this Saturday.  They keep multiplying on my craft table....and I had to EMBOSS a few backgrounds for more Texture.  Fern & Flora is currently unavailable, but grab an embossing folder from your stash and have FUN!

I love these Swirly Ferns on WHITE card stock.  I stamped the little squares and then embossed.

You can really change up the background by changing the direction of the squares!  To the Left, the right......

or Alternate!!  

See these cards and MORE at the Independence Uptown Market Saturday 8-1pm.

The Whole Bunch.....

 I have to share these adorable cards....BUT this Wild Bunch Product of the Month is SOLD OUT!  Good NEWS these cards will be on the Rack this Saturday at Independence Uptown Market! Come SHOP Local 8-1pm for these cards and LOTS more featuring the Wild Bunch!

I have seen so many samples using this simple Background stamp/  Love how the Colors from the Snail and Card base POP with the cute critters.  I colored with Blends and then popped up a fussy cut Penguin.  And a couple fussy cut gifts.....

New Color combo.

And another....the options are endless!

Valley in Bloom

 More cards heading to the racks this Saturday at the Independence Uptown Market!  I had these card bases prepped and finally colored and cut some Flowers!  I have lots of Lily of the Valley in my flower bed.  My Mother and Grand Mother loved these little stems with the sweet scent!  Stampin' Up really did a great job of capturing the Beauty of this Garden favorite.

I used Retired Soft Seafoam for a card base with accents of Granny Apple Green.  Simple Fun fold and a TAG from the Last Chance list make an adorable card.

A Garden Green card base and another TAG.  Love this Gold edging on these tags.  Lily of the Valley colored with Blends.  Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green.

Soft Seafoam card base and a Couple Butterflies for the card above.  

And I finally used the Dies to cut out the flowers on the card below.  The Lily of the Valley Bundle and Valley in Bloom Designer paper is a great addition to the craft room!  A Touch of Gold Tags are still available!!  $4.25 Last Chance.....

First up the Snail!  This Birthday card has been laying unfinished on my desk for months! All it needed was a SNAIL!  And the Baby Snail Die cut is from the Sweet Bugs Bundle.  I see lots of Sweet Snail cards with these 2 Stamp sets.

The Peaceful Pine card base accents the colors in BOTH Designer papers.  I LOVE this new IN color and with Highland Heather.....the cards make themselves!! Peaceful Pine is also in a Holiday paper coming in July.  Think Cardinals, Trees and Quilt Blocks.....

Soccer Coasters and Chickens!

I will NOT be at the market 6/6 or 6/13.   Comment if you need anything and we can meet up.  My Dog is reacting to some meds, so leaving her home alone is not an option.  

I was inspired to create some KC Current Coasters and a few Chickens!  I love how these KC Current coasters came out!  

Chickens.....Not lots of coloring.....but I did add some dirt scratching to a few...

A couple more Birthday Cats and a Motorcycle for Dad.

More Soccer cards.....

 I am giddy!  I can BLOG on my computer and add pictures!  This makes me so HAPPY!

And today I have MORE Soccer cards!  I colored the Designer paper with Blends in the KC Current colors.  SO many options with this Match Day Bundle and matching Designer paper.  

This Blue and White uniform belongs to Argentina!  SO easy to color with Blends!  Fans are already following this Team.  I'll be watching to see what the are wearing at Practice!!  Haha!

And finally just some printed paper on Shaded Spruce card stock and a sentiment..... and a divot of grass.   Great Scrapbook pages could be made with this Designer paper!

Soccer cards…and the glitch may be fixed....update!!

What the heck?  I am on my computer and NOW I can load photos! 

Loving everything about this Match Day stamps, dies and paper!  I posted earlier on Facebook and finally seem to have access to photos again on my laptop!

With the World Cup in the KC area these next few weeks and 2 Soccer stadiums in KC there has to be some local folks that will appreciate a Soccer card!

Soccer Jerseys come is many color options.  I googled and was amazed at the different shirts and not a "set" uniform like other sports. So here I did a KC Current like shirt and WHO wears the Orange?  The Netherlands! 

Let’s try an experiment….i posted on Facebook and copied the link to Blogger?  Does the link work?  I know it’s not pretty but ……let me know.

These cards will be on the rack Saturday 8-1pm at Independence Uptown Market.

Hydrangea Hue

 My pre-order arrived and this IN Color is my favorite!  And the new style of Magnetic ink pads will be introduced with the 5 IN Colors!  If you order ink pads always order a matching re-inker!  My first card is a Thank You card for customers.

Hydrangea Hue card stock and ink.  Sunset Coast bundle paired with Scenic Coast 6X6 Specialty Designer paper.  This paper is amazing!!  I used the ink pad to ink the edges and then popped up this panel on the card base.

The Lighthouse or Sail Boat Die Cut allow this paper to shine through.  Hydrangea Hue is not in this paper but it blends perfectly with some of the patterns!

I can’t wait to create more cards with this beautiful paper.  And the Magnetic ink pads close just by setting the lid on top!  All these products will be available May 5th when the catalog launches.  New Online Exclusives will also launch May 5th.

Next Market is May 2nd.  Pick up the new catalog!  8-1pm.
