Thanks.... for sticking your neck out!

Hello fellow stampers!
Kristie here today.
Today I'd like to share a thank you card with you.
I used the "Turtle" (#16315) stamp from
to make this cute card.
He was stamped onto white card stock and colored with watercolor crayons.
The 'thanks' was cut on my Cricut Expressions from the Opposites Attract cartridge.
Inside I will write
"for sticking your neck out!"
If you're a turtle fan, or even if you aren't stop in to QKR Stampede and see all the adorable turtle stamps available. You may end up being a turtle fan after all.
Thanks for stopping today, come again soon!

A breath of spring....

Good morning ( or afternoon depending ) ! This is Jessica B. with a card to share for Eureka Stamps. I have to say the image I chose for this card is probably one of my favorite stamps...and I have a lot of stamps too. It is just so pretty, so simple and yet so fun to color. I am sure I didn't color this type of flower correctly..but that is what I call using my "artistic licence" LOL.


See...isn't that a pretty image? I stamped it in Versafine black on Neenah paper ( that was cut and embossed) and colored with my Prismacolor pencils and OMS . Then I did a bit of sponging with SU! daffodil delight ink while it was still in the die. I then layered the image onto a piece of pale yellow card stock that I had punched a border onto. Next up was the ribbon which I had in my stash but it is just a piece of pretty cream colored sating ribbon, then I layered all of that onto a piece of DP then onto the card. Pretty simple..yet so light and fresh looking at the same time.

If you haven't checked Eureka Stamps out in a while, please do! It is full of wonderful stamps just like the one above.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, and please keep checking back in here on the blog to see what he other talented DT members have to show off!

Have a great rest of your day~
Jessica B.

Best Wishes

I hope your are having a great week so far.  I meant to post this here on the 1st when I had it on my blog but forgot to get over here and post it.

Better late than never!!!
I made this one with a stamp from the Tender Thoughts line of stamps from Eureka stamps.

The Tender Thoughts  stamps are so pretty that you don't need to do much to them to create a beautiful card.  Just let the image be the star of the show!


This is Hibiscus and Bee and Best Wishes from Eureka Stamps.  They are both available in Digi or unmounted red rubber.  I like this image because it  can be paired with many different sentiments. 

Hope your enjoyed today's card!

Have a great rest of your day!!!

Tea Time


A friend at church this Sunday told me she is making something for all the women at our ladies' spring banquet this year that involves something with teacups, and will include two teabags to encourage fellowship. She asked if I had any text stamps that might go along with it. How funny ... I had just made this card Saturday!

The teapot image comes in two sizes; I used the smaller image as a backgrounder for the Patsy Clairmont text.

True Friends...

Hi there. Quick post for me today. Gotta run to work...uggggg. I wanted to share a card I made using the Eureka Stamps True Friends stamp. I have some wonderful friends in my life right now that are helping keep me together. SO this stamp made me think of them.


I stamped the image onto cream CS, and trimmed it down. I stamped again on white CS so I could make fluffy clouds. I used watercolor crayons to color the rainbow, and layered onto pink CS. I used some rainbow CS for the background and layered onto a cream CS base.



Well I am off to work...lucky me! LOL

Catch a Falling star and put it....

Put it in your pocket..

Now that you will be singing that song for the next little while, I will tell ya bout my card :)
This is Jessica Beare with a cute little card for QKR Stampede. If you haven't been by there before or it has been a while, please go check out the cute and some what "quirky" stamps they offer. We all know someone a bit "quirky" that could need a little cheering up don't we?

I don't know where you live but it has poured buckets here in (not so) sunny SC for the last couple of days. I don't mind the rain so much while the kids are at school OR I don't have to go to the grocery store !
For my card today I chose this adorable little umbrella. Is that not the cutest stamp ever? My 7yo daughter is a sucker for rain gear( so am I lol), and she loved playing with this one.











I stamped the umbrellas repeatedly in Memento tuxedo black ink, then colored them with Prismacolor Colored pencils and OMS, then added some stickles to the stars and umbrella handles. I am sorry you can't tell in the pick but there is the tiniest bit of bling to it. I layered it with a lime green polka dotted piece of dp then onto the card base. So easy and so simple.


That is it for me tonight, I am SO very tired . we did a lot of work in the house this weekend as we couldn't get out of it ..and I have to get up at 5:45 to get the two youngest kids on the bus tomorrow..so I am going to go count the stars! Hope you had a fantastic weekend and a wonderful start to your week!

Thanks for stopping by and please go check out QKR Stampede  and pick up some great additions to your stamps!
