2 Cards made with Mommy's Stampies!

Hello all you Crazy People! (Once, I had a friend who had that as her email address.)


I made 2 cards...the first is an ultra girly but rocker/punk/emo style card, with the Maltese stamp...with TONS of sparkley and pink stuff!

I used patterned foil heart paper (from the mini DCWV Rockstar stack) , metallic silver cardstock (the square under the puppy) and pink white core cardstock,(under the puppy and on the top & bottom of the foil paper) which, as you can hopefully see, I quite thoroughly distressed(Scrappers talk for making "looks like it was ran over by a truck" look cool). I used 2 black star shaped eyelets and silver ribbon with black edges. Oh and how could I forget? I used Pink "gift of the crafty gods" aka "Stickles" on her hair bow!

The next card is a belated birthday card, which, if you're like me, always meaning well but never meaning well on time...IT'S PERFECT! This card is also quite distressed, with dark brown ink and sanding. I also tried something new to me...I sewed on paper! (see the "little" and the strip of jeans on the bottom) GASP! It looks kind of stupid but my crookedness went along so well with the style I was going for, that I actually like it. Speaking of new, I also used a strip of Sierra's old jeans on the bottom edge (Hey,the butt of them was basically shredded, so I might as well make good use out of them!) The gift of the crafty gods was used on this as well...I used matching Stickles for random dots on the paper...Mom has enough variety that I actually had trouble deciding which pink/purple/green etc. to use! As we say, Stickles equals love, therefore someone verrrrry special (who's birthday I forgot, unfortunately) will be getting this card! ;)
