Pac Man....how cool is this???

The Owl Punch that Stampin' Up! sells can be turned into almost anything!! I love how versatile this punch is. When I first saw it I said no way am I ever buying that punch....I don't like owls that much, and I have no need to put them on a card. WOW was I wrong, not only have I made cards just so I can put the cute little owl on them, I am finding more and more ways to use the owl as something else. My brother in law had a birthday a while back, and we like to poke a little fun at him for being the oldest (at least the oldest that lives in the same city). I also know he likes a lot of things from the 80's so I thought how cute would a Pac Man card be, and that darn owl punch would make the best ghosts for it. I also used it for the white dots, they are the middle sized eyes. This is probably the easiest card I have made in a while. It took less than 5 minutes, and I think it's awesome. I didn't play Pac Man too much when I was younger, but I think it's pretty close to what Pac Man looks like.

You're a blast....

I love the Pun Fun set, it makes the cutest cards, especially when you combine them with the sweet treats cups!! I made this card for my adorable nephew for his 6th birthday last month. I split up the stamp by inking only part of it for the spaceship, and then I stamped onto the tag behind the candy the saying from the spaceship..."you're a blast!" so when he went to eat the candy there was a little hidden message inside.

mmmm cake......

I love cake but I really love making cakes, usually real cakes, but this card was sooo much fun to do. I have a couple nieces birthdays coming up so I was making birthday cards last week for them. I try really hard to make fun and special ones for the family that we don't see very often. I cased this one from Marie on SCS. I didn't have the stamps she used, but MDS does so I printed them out on whisper white cardstock and used dimensionals to add them to the card. I love MDS and love all the options it open up for me in my scrapbooking and card making.

Sweet birthday

I made this card for my niece's birthday earlier in the month. I was going to post it then, but decided to save it for while I was away. I have set up a few posts to automatically post while I am away so you will have something to come and look at while I am enjoying the warm & sunny (I hope) weather.

This is a case of a card I saw on LeeAnn Greff's blog. I did not have the set she had, so I used my brand spanking new set called Sweet Scoops instead. I could not believe how easy it was to do this card. It looked so pretty on her blog I just had to try it, esp, the syrup on the ice cream.
