Card Samples

some SAMPLEZ for you sistahs!

hiya tootsies,

just wanted to show you some ideas I did with my HANGING BLOCKS.. I just love them all.. there are SOO MANY of them and you can make a quick and easy card or aย  border on your scrapbooking page for ANY occasion!

you can find all the hanging blocks for different themes here

the one I worked with here is called the hanging stars block

love this stamp!

love this stamp!

My style of stamping is really very clean andย  S-I-M-P-L-E, I am always on the go, I never have time to “think” per se (how sad is that to have the GUTS to admit that..LOL).. and I love to be creative.. I love to stamp.. I love to color.. but I think I am majorly TYPE A.. as many of my colleagues would confirm ๐Ÿ™‚ย  So… Having said that, I will try to make some samples-for-people-who-have-no-time-to-think-like-DA-BELLA.ย  Samples that focus on limited layers, pretty papers.. perhaps nestabilities and copics and lyra colored pencils with mineral spirits.. hmmmm not so simple no mo’.ย  That’s why the NICKABELLA is so important as she makes beeyoootiful layouts, thinks before she puts down a layer.. LOL.ย  My Anchor.ย  The bellarific babes also THINK.. ME??? I no thinky so much.ย  So I hope this helps some people who feel stressed about layouts etc.. sometimes, you don’t need to think!

here you see 2 cards and a sample scrapbook page

In the card below I used silky black ribbon.. brand new in da store with more colors coming.. this 0.5″ ribbon is PHENOM and looks like silk but is stiff enough to tie knots.. YUM! also used this sentiment and the wish charm

A star is Born.. A pretty bold card for a baby :) but I love it!

Below is a card using the same DREAM STREET PAPER as the one above.. love the stars theme!ย  it is more of a generic card.. a little more “black tie” (lol) where I used a celebrate stamp and I stamped the stars hanging block stamp repetitively across the card rather than just once.ย  I also used the new black ribbon to tie the bows.. OH and LOTS AND LOTS of glittah on both cards with the quickie glue pen (one of my favoritest tools).

bows bows bows!

bows bows bows!

Is the scrapbook paper below not the cutest thing ever??? You can embellish any of your scrapbook pages with any stamp.. the hanging blocks are great for a top border!ย  add a picture and some embellishments and VOILA.. super cute.. super SIMPLE BEEYOTIFUL CLEAN layout.ย  Just love this idea!

    Wow! For someone who claims she doesn’t “think” about being creative you certainly did a PHENOM job! Love your talent : )

  3. Callie says:

    I LOVE your clean and simple style Em. It’s very elegant. Beings that I’m a scrapper first and a card maker second my favorite is the border you did on the 12×12 pages… but your cards are fab too! Off to see the other samples! Thanks for sharing!!

    Simple is the new 30! LOL I like simple, too~especially when I am so behind in my scrapbooking that I can actually watch myself age on the pages as I work. If I am simple, the torture ends more quickly. HA!

  5. {pam} says:

    thanx for your simple ideas. i am really not into thinking much lately . . . about anything . . . LOL!!! seriously tho . . . it is nice to have some clean and simple ideas to make in a hurry!

  6. what simple and cute ideas!
    Yes, I’m watching Bachelor…not liking the spoiler rumors…

  7. lindaH says:

    when i’m not immersed in cards i also like to scrapbook…and would love to do something really personal in my books…THIS COULD BE IT!

  8. Jennifer says:

    Loving your cards and layout Em and no I’m not lying! LOL! You are too funny! I seriously LOVE reading your blogs, you always make me giggle which is the best! And those quickie glue pens are the best tools, totally agree with you! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Now, I’m totally type A so we either would make a funny stamping pair! Hehe! Maybe we could enable or would that be unenable eachother’s “A” moments! LOL! *wink, wink* Really, I so try to not be the type A girl but no luck as of yet! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Ok, the Bachelor…I’m sooo watching! But curious me had to go and watch the spoiler on You Tube! I know, I know – how horrible is that? But I just couldn’t help myself! Knowing that I could know and then resisting it was just too much but I still am watching the episodes anyway! It’s still fun and I’m loving it! Who are you routing for? I was a Jillian fan till he booted her! I can’t wait to see what goes down when Deanna comes back next week! Ohhh the drama! Gotta love it!

    Have a great week! And keep making and posting those type A cards and layouts! I’m loving them as well as Nicky’s too! ๐Ÿ™‚
