Theresa Momber: Life is Good

Good evening! I have some more cards using "Life is Good" stamp set from Gina K. Designs and illustrator Theresa Momber.
In this first card I used two of Theresa's sets "Happy Camper" the mountains in the back of cabin and "Life is good".




The card here I sponged the sky using SU So Saffron and Creamy Carmel.
The card stock is from Gina K. Designs and the DP is from my stash.
In this card I used "Life is Good" and Melanie Muenchinger's "Hip to be Square" for the window. Both set are available at Gina K. Designs.















The green misty card is sponged on Gina K. pure luxury card stock. I just sponged a darker green around to give it a misty look.
The sentiment I used is "Very Merry Christmas"
another set by Theresa. I made this card just before Christmas and didn't get to post it.





Tonight Theresa is featuring her guest designer Miss Boo (a.k.a. Jen 70) Jenny is a fantastic card maker and artist. She also is wonderful at making CAS cards. For more inspiration using Theresa's "Life is Good" check out Jenny's and Theresa blog.

Thanks for stopping in and have a wonderful night.

Halloween Time

Hello, we sure had a powerful storm last night, but I think it's on it's way east!! So look out!!
I have another card here using Melanie's wonderful new set " Hip to be Square" I just can't say enough about this set! I sponged and masked the background and used some clear stamps I've had around. A tip about the window: I stamped the window on some acetate using StazOn in black, then after it dried. I then used it as a guide to how images would look on the card, you can even stamp on it using like a dye ink and then just wipe it off. Hope you like my card.
Tonight Theresa Momber is having a blog hop featuring her newest set "Very Merry Christmas" This is a wonderful set and one of my favorites, so if you chance check all the wonderful samples. It will start at 8:00pm PST.

In my next card I used stamps from "Hip to be Square" to make my ornaments.I stamped them and colored them with copic's used a gold pen on the hanger part and embossed and cut them out. Then using gold cord attached them to my card. The sentiment is from "Very Merry Christmas" from Gina K. Designs.
