Happy Anniversary Pat & Yvette!

Hi Friends!

Thought I'd post a card I made for our kids' anniversary.  They love things that are different & quirky, so I thought this would fit the bill.  I fell in love with the two little monsters when I saw the stamp and sentiment.  lol

Our daughter-in-law's favorite color is pink, so of course, the little image had to be colored in pink.  I added a pink gemstone to her belly button for some bling.  :o)

Colored with Copics, and layered with black and metallic blue card stock.

As luck sometimes works.....I thought it would be fun to share hubby's photos of the lunar eclipse along with the little monsters from outer space.

Heres's the beginning of the eclipse.

Almost half way through the eclipse.

This one is my favorite shot.  Very tiny, but you can "click" on the photo to see a bigger shot.  Awesome!

By the way....they loved their card.  Those two have a great sense of humor.  Thanks for stopping by to visit.  I'll be back later.  Until next time.....

Cheesey Happy Birthday Card

Happy Weekend Blog Friends!

Posting a quick birthday card today.  The stamp is by Stampin Up.  Colored with Copics.  I used two different colors of yellow card stock, and punched cheese holes in the top piece.  In case you can't read the tiny script, it reads:

Age is something that doesn't count unless you're a cheese!  :o)


Thanks for stopping by to visit today.

Have a good weekend.  Until next time.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOUSTACHE

Hi Friends,

Im finally back with a few cards to share.  It's been a very long month, and I won't bore you with the details.  Today, I'm sharing a card that was originally designed by Karen Kurz.  Isn't it just the cutest darn thing?  I think so.  Love the moustache, tiny clothes pin, and the herringbone cotton ribbon.  The print paper is a little bag that holds a gift card/message card inside.  You can attach a gift card or just write a message on it.  Such a cute masculine card.  The moustache is a SU die cut.  I think the striped portion at the bottom of the tag is washi tape.  I made the card awhile back.

Here's a pic of the inside of the card.

Thank you for stopping in to visit.  I'll be back soon with something new to share.  Until next time......

Hugs, Geri 

FISH STIX

Hi Blog Friends!


My post today is a card I call FISH STIX.  

I stamped the fish on sticks, using a black ink pad.  The sticks feel like balsa wood, very light.  I purposely cut them into different lengths.  I made the background paper by stamping a crackle kind of pattern, as I wanted it to resemble "under water."  Although it's a little hard to see....the design is glittery.  Look on the left-hand side toward the top.  Then I stamped a tiny fish and placed a glass piece on top of it.  Behind the sticks is a piece of netting.  The main background is silver metallic card stock.

I'll be gone from the blog for awhile.  Just wanted to give you all a heads up.  I'll be back as soon as I can.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  I'll be back later, so until next time.....

Hugs,

Geri xo

Geisha in Green & Turquoise

Hello Blog Friends!

I'm sorry I've been MIA for awhile.  Lots and lots of things going on, and I haven't had time to blog.

I thought I'd better get something posted before even more time slips away.  They days are flying by and I can't believe it's almost September.  Yikes!

Today's card was colored with Copics.  I love this image.  The stamp is by Stampington, and the artist is Lynne Perrella.  I kept the card pretty simple in design.  I used a piece of muted greenish scrapbook paper from my paper stash, and added a sheer forest green ribbon on top.  Then I stamped the Asian symbol and embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I used one of the the clear disks on top of that for some dimension.  

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit.  I'll have hubby take some pics of new cards soon and get those on the blog.  Until next time.....

Masculine ATC Card

Happy Weekend Bloggers!

Here's my ATC (Artist Trading Card) for the Steampunk topic.  Most of the supplies used are by Tim Holtz.  I decided to use grays and blacks on this particular ATC.  Oh, and a silver gear, pen nib and metal embellishment.  I just spoke with someone the other day who'd never heard of Steampunk.  I thought everyone had heard of it.  I think it's still pretty popular, as I still see lots of it around.   :o)

An Anniversary Tuxedo Card

Happy Weekend Friends!

Today's post is a card I made for hubby for an anniversary.  I used black linen card stock for the jacket, and white card stock for the shirt.  I don't make many cards with just 2 colors of paper.  Red ribbon for the cummerbund, and a tiny red rose in the lapel.  Black ribbon tied for the bow tie.  Lastly, added a black button on the jacket.

Here's a pic of the inside of the card....I covered up my message with a piece of white paper and held it in place with a red heart sticker.  I didn't think you'd want to read the gooey note!  lol

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!  Until next time.....
