Hurry Up and Make a Card??? Help me DRS!!!

I made this card using all DRS stamps and I found it in my files. I think I forgot to show y'all this one and that is too bad... BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME! Why is it awesome??? Because it is a quick one to make? Why so quick??? OK... in case ya didn't know... DRS has these awesome ribbon slides and you can do so many things with them I I stamped this one, embossed it,cut it out, painted it with SHIMMERZ and put it on some ribbon and presto... a quick and easy way to spruce up your cards and your ribbon. If you are not good at tying bows, DRS did it for you! As for the Heart frame... stamped it, embossed it and punched it with my mega and giga punches. Done... just like that! The LOVE Hearts were stamped,embossed,cut and adhered... SOOO Quick! The corner punch I had laying around the house and the punch really dresses up the front as well! So there you have it... DRS can simplify your life... QUICKLY! Hurry up and have a good one!

High Hopes (cough sniffle) Bird Bath Card (ahhchooo)

Ladies... it got me... the it being some horrible sinus allergy funk... and I have been sick in the bed for 2 days! UGH!!! I had this little card and I wanted to make at least one post... so here is my darling Bertie from High Hopes.

I colored him with gamsol and pencils and I used some blue SHIMMERZ on some of the bubbles. I love coloring and I think that High Hopes stamps are great for that! Hopefully, I will be out of the bed tonight and can get some more cards made to post here... That is the worst part about being sick... no stamping! POO!! Everyone stay healthy...

DRS and Card Positioning Systems! CANDY TOO!!!

Before I get to my post I just want to give a heads up! Starting today, DRS Designs is the proud sponsor of the Card Positioning Systems Blog (CPS)!!! Be sure to stop by and check out what their fabulous designers have done with our stamps!! I can't wait to see what you do with their sketch for the week too!!!

The Challenge for the DRS Designs challenge blog is to use ribbon slides as the focal point on your card. If you have never used these ribbon slides... THEY ARE WONDERFUL! You can make them any color to match your design! You can emboss them, color them, cut them out...even stamp them on polyshrink plastic and shrink 'em! they are FUN! Here I embossed 3 of them to go along with the fun sentiment. After I cut them out, I punched a slot and ran the ribbon through it to place them on the card! Want some of your own? Check this candy out...

*** In addition to the inspiration, you'll see that one lucky participant in the challenge will be eligible to win some ribbon slides for their very own! Anyone can partipate as long as you use some kind of ribbon slide for your focal point. On Sunday, January 25 one random winner will be drawn from all the entries. The winner will win a selection of ribbon slides...BUT...if the winner also used DRS Designs stamps in their project, they will win an even bigger selection of slides! We really hope you play along. Be sure to use DRSC12 if you upload your creation to a public gallery. Remember, the only way to be entered in the drawing is to post a direct link to your creation on THIS post...***

New Stamps? LET ME AT 'EM!

That's right! DRS Designs has just released a whole bunch of new stamps! Here is a card using the new giga heart circle. This stamp fits perfectly in the Giga punch from marvy. Just stamp it and then punch it out and it is ready to go. I embossed mine with white embossing powder. Then I used the ribbon slide bow. Again... super easy, Just stamp it, cut it out and add it to the ribbon. The best embellishment ever! You can use any color card stock or even add some sparkle like I did here with Shimmerz. Next I embossed 2 of the silhouette love hearts on black and cut them out. I layered the card and used a fun corner punch and here is my creation! Check out the DRS Designs Challenge blog and play along with some of the challenges. We have some good ones on there and we would love to see your work! Thanks for stopping by!

DRS Designs "Bling It" Challenge

OHHHH I love me some BLING! I made this card using DRS stamps. I LOVE the large star... the scrolls are SOOO pretty! I stamped it in versamark and embossed it with gold glitter embossing powder. Then I took the star ribbon slide and embossed that in sliver white glitter. I took silver and gold ribbon and wove it through the ribbon slide slots to make the poof. I added the sentiment and the glitter stickers in the corner and here is my BLINGY card! I love the clean and simple look of this card as I CAN (and HAVE) gone overboard !!! Please check out the DRS designs challenge blog and play along with us! Be sure to link your creations so we can ogle the BLING!!!

Simply... yet ELEGANT!

Oh how I love the cards that fit that description! Easy enough to make alot of them... yet beautiful enough to get the "wow" factor from friends and family! (LOL!)

I used the snowflake wreath design from DRS Designs and embossed it with white detail EP. LOVE the way it showed off the ... Well, DETAILS in the snowflakes! I guess they named it the right thing, huh? The I embossed the sentiment in the detail white as well... cuz, why reinvent the wheel???If it worked... go with it, I say! Next I got out the trusty Cuttlebug and cut the snowflakes and the corner accents. I used the bow ribbon slide from DRS and colored it with COPIC markers. Then, I put crystal effects all over the whole thing and let it dry over night. I cut it out and added the red polka dot ribbon just for some pizazz!

I love how this came out and I have got to say that this is one of my FAVORITE stamps from DRS... AND... if you are dreaming of a white Christmas and live in the South as I do... this is a great way to see some snow! Y'all have a great night and thanks for stopping by!
