Stellar Birthday!

 Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far!

Today I am popping in real quick to share a card that I created with a couple of challenges in mind. 

Here is a look at the card...

I purchased this adorable image called Ainsley Astronaut  from Digi Doodle Studios a couple of weeks ago, colored her up with my Copic markers and set her aside! You know how that goes right? You just get busy with other things, or is that just me? haha! Well, I came across her when I was cleaning off my desk and sat down and turned her into a card before I forgot again haha!

I started with a white A2 top folding card base and added a light purple strip towards the bottom and doodled around the perimeter of my card front. I did a little ink blending to create a galaxy background and added some white and gold paint splatters. Once my galaxy was dry, I used a scallop rectangle die to cut it out and placed it onto my card, centering it as best as I could. I cut out my astronaut using my Scan N Cut and popped her onto my card with some foam tape. I cut out my sentiment using a banner die and placed that underneath her, trying to align it with the purple strip that is behind the background panel. I die cut some stars, placed them onto my card and added a few white doodles to her outfit to complete my card. 

I think this turned out so cute!!

Jaded Blossom's April Color Challenge

 Hi everyone!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

With warmer months approaching, we would love to see your projects that use 

Warm Colors! 

(Red, Pink, Yellow, and Orange)

 and of course some of those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Here is a look at my take on the challenge:

 I used some distress oxide inks to create my background in the colors Fired Brick, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey. I did end up going in with a tiny bit of Squeezed Lemonade to brighten up my yellow section. Once I had that blended the way I liked, I set it aside so it could dry a bit. While that was drying, I stamped my flowers and leaves from the Tulips stamp set onto some Vellum using white ink and then heat embossed them using white embossing powder. I used the coordinating Tulips Outline Dies to cut them out. I cut down my ink blended panel and added it to a white A2 cardbase. I used the largest die in the Rectangle Internal Scallops set and cut it out 3 times. I glued them together and added them to my card front. I arranged my Tulips and added them to the card, along with a sentiment from the So Many Birthdays 3 stamp set. I completed my card by adding a few clear sequins. I think this turned out so pretty!

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom blog to see what the rest of the DT made, they never disappoint!

Christmas Joy

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a sweet and simple Christmas card that I created using a new stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Oh Holy Night.

Aren't those little Wise Men the sweetest??

I knew I wanted to make a simple card when I saw this stamp set so that the focus of the card could remain on the images and sentiment. I started by ink blending a night sky and adding some yellow for the glow of the star. I splattered some gold metallic watercolor onto the background and then set that aside to dry. While that was drying, I stamped the three Wise Men from the Oh Holy Night stamp set, colored them with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I created an A2 cardbase from some white cardstock and adhered the night sky panel.  I layered some gold foil cardstock and white cardstock together, used a circle die to cut out an opening for the night sky to show through, stamped my greeting and popped it up onto my card front with foam tape. I heat embossed my star with some gold embossing powder, used some more of the gold metallic watercolor to color it in and popped it up with more foam tape. I completed my card by adding those adorable Wise Men.

So simple and sweet!

Hi crafty friends!

I hope this is finding you well and enjoying your Summer!

We have had super hot and humid days so far in my area and it is only the beginning of June!

Warm weather really makes me think about beach days though so I decided to play around with some dies and make a card inspired by the beach.

Here is a look at what I created:

I started by creating my Sunrise panel by blending together some oxide inks in the colors, Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick. I used the card Mat Dies from Jaded Blossom to cut it out so I would have some stitching around the perimeter. I used the card mat dies again to cut out my Kraft and Blue cardstock so everything would line up on the sides and then used the Tropical Dies (also from JB) for the top of the Sand and Waves. I adhered that panel to a white cardbase and started building my adorable Tiki Bar! I used the Tiki Hut Dies to build my bar and popped it up onto my card with foam tape. I decided some seagulls would be needed so I pulled out a stamp set from Lawn Fawn and stamped just a few for a little visual interest. I added my die cut greeting to the bar along with a tropical flower to the bottom and a few sequins to complete my card.

I love how this turned out and since the entire card (almost) was mainly die cutting, it actually came together rather quickly, gotta love that!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

**Jaded Blossom: June Monthly Challenge Summer Vibes**
