Just A Note...

Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Flowers!

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I created my shaped card by welding two of the labels from the Lacy Labels cartridge together and then added the layers on top, with foam tape for some dimension! 

For the top layer though, I wanted to do a in-lay die cutting look to my card so I used the flower shape from the Lovely Floral cartridge and sliced it into my top card layer to get the opening for my floral pieces to fit into. I cut the flower out of some speckled cardstock, backed it with some scrap cardstock so that I could easily place my pieces into the opening without worry of them falling out & then placed my pieces into the opening on my top layer (kinda like a puzzle). I love the look of in-lay die cutting! I added my sentiment onto a little label and attached it to my card with a little crochet thread bow and a glue dot. I completed my card with some white doodles & some white and pink Nuvo drops. 

Simple but oh so pretty! I love how it turned out!

Hello

Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Let's Get Outdoors!

Just remember to use your Cricut machine!

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I thought it would be fun to create a little outdoor scene. I started with an A2 purple cardbase. I added some clouds onto a piece of white cardstock by using some light blue ink along with a cloud stencil and then used a wonky stitched die to cut it out. I cut some grass layers from the Martha Stewart All Occasions Art cartridge, inked the edges and then ran just the bottom of the grass through the wonky die for a cohesive look. I cut my kite from the Miss Kate Cuttables Springtime collection and popped it up with some foam tape. I finished my card with a big Hello that I cut from a metal die, as well as some small flowers (also cut from a metal die) and some white Nuvo drops.

Jaded Blossom's February Release: Day 5!

Hi crafty friends!!

Happy Friday!!

It's day 5 of the Jaded Blossom February Release. WooHoo!!

Thanks so much for stopping by each day!! 

Here is a quick recap of the projects I made this week......

....and that brings us to today.

Today we are showing you projects featuring the freebie stamp set.

Mail Faces is the free with purchase stamp.

 You can read more about the freebie stamp over at the Jaded Blossom Blog.

Here is a look at the project that I created to share with you today:

I decided to make a little shaped card with some fun little crafty goodies tucked into the front pocket using the Mailbox Die. I created my card by using the Mailbox die and cutting it out twice from some gray cardstock. I assembled one of the mailboxes as if I was making the gift card holder and then on the second mailbox, I simply cut off the pocket flap, scored along the top edge and glued the two mailboxes together at the top to form a card. I stamped my greeting from the Funny Mail 3 stamp set and added some hearts that I cut out using the Banner Dies. I cut my envelope from the Envelope Dies, inked around the edges and then used one of those precious little faces from the Mail Faces stamp set. I tied a little crochet thread bow and added some enamel hearts and white Nuvo drops to complete my card.

Inside the pocket, I added some enamel shapes and some coordinating Washi.

I think this is such a fun way to send a little crafty mail to a friend and make their day a little brighter.

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today:

I love this sweet little mailbox image in the Special Delivery stamp set and couldn't wait to color it up and make a sweet little "just because" card to have in my stash. After I had the image colored in with my Copic markers, I stamped the greeting along the top and used the Rectangle Dies 2 to cut it out. I added some freehand grass along the bottom edge and then used a light blue Copic marker to highlight the perimeter to act as the sky. I popped it up with some foam tape onto a piece of pink cardstock that I cut out using the Postage Dies. I adhered everything onto my cardbase and finished my card with some light pink crochet thread, tying it off into a bow and leaving the tails long.

So pretty!

 Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a terrific day!!

Today I have a super simple card to share with you that I made with a couple of challenges in mind.

They are:

CardzTv Mailbox Smiles Anything Goes #5

and

Sunday Stamps: SSC 156 Tall & Skinny Sketch:

Here is a look at the card that I made:

For some reason, as soon as I read the word "TALL" my brain immediately went to coffee lol! I pulled out some stamps/dies from Jaded Blossom and got to work. :) I created my tall and skinny card base from some white cardstock and added some kraft to the middle and some red polka dot strips along the top and bottom edges of the kraft. I die cut out my coffee cup and added some small red confetti hearts to the check boxes on the coffee sleeve. I stamped out my greeting onto some white cardstock, cut the edges off at an angle and popped it up with some foam tape. I finished off the card with some black doodling along the edges and some black crochet thread tied into a bow. Super easy and quick to put together...gotta love that!!  How fun is that sentiment?? 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Shopping Our Stash #256: Let me take a selfie

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

Today starts a new challenge over at

Shopping Our Stash!

This week, challenge #256 is....

"Let Me Take A Selfie"

Create a Polaroid scene

Here is the card that I created based on the theme:

I stamped this little monster onto a square piece of cardstock and my daughter colored him in using Copics. I used a die for my frame and stamped my greeting onto it. I thought it would be cute to try and make it look like the picture was hanging on a bulletin board so I used some cork cardstock and then a little tack die cut. I think it turned out so cute and think this would make a great card to send to someone out of the blue.

Be sure to head over to the Shopping Our Stash Challenge Blog to see what my design team sisters created. I hope you will decide to make a project and join us, I would love to see what you create!

What's The Scoop?

Happy Friday! 

Today I am back with another project that showcases some awesome stamps and dies from 

Pink & Main.

Isn't that little penguin adorable?? I stamped him from the So Cool stamp set onto some white cardstock and then again onto some kraft and pink cardstock so that I could paper piece him. I stamped the greeting onto some pink cardstock and used the smallest stitched rectangle to cut it out. I created my card base with the largest stitched rectangle and then adhered my other layers on top of that. I popped up my image and sentiment panel and finished off my card with some enamel dots.

Paper Play Sketches #7

Hi everyone! 

Today I am sharing the new sketch challenge that has started at

Paper Play Sketches.

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team project based on the above sketch:

I love giving cards to my family as a surprise and for no occasion. I leave them where they can find them and hopefully it brings a smile to their face when they see it. I'm running a little low on cards for that in my stash so I thought I would make one with the above sketch. I love those little sheep in the Ewe Are The Best stamp set from My Favorite Things. I created my little scene and colored it in with my Copics. I added a few white highlights on some of the images & some faux stitching with a white gel pen. I added some shimmer to the heart with my clear wink of stella pen, tied some crochet thread around the frame & popped it up with some foam tape. 

You can read more about the challenge and link up your project at:

Card Harmony using Lawn Fawn's Sweet Smiles

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Today Kimberly and I are back with another Card Harmony post.

Here is a link to my blog post that tells a little bit about what Card Harmony is all about. 

We basically take turns purchasing stamps each month and then we both make a card using the same stamp set to see how alike or different our cards turn out. We add a little twist each month though to make it a little more challenging. 

This month we are using the stamp set from Lawn Fawn called 

Sweet Smiles.

Our twist this month was to incorporate watercolor.

This is the card that I created:

I stamped my image using some archival ink and then used the coordinating Sweet Smiles die to cut it out. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens for my watercoloring. Once I had everything colored in, I set it aside and let it dry. I added some patterned paper and crochet thread along the side of my card. Once my gumball machine was dry, I added those fun little faces to the gumballs, added my greeting and popped up the machine with foam tape. I finished my card off with some enamel dots.

I will also be entering my card into the following challenges:
Lawnscaping Challenge: #126 Sweets
Craft Your Passion: #304 Anything Goes
PDE Linky Party: #115 Anything Goes

Be sure to check out Kimberly's blog, Kimberly's Crafty Spot to see what she made for me!!

Just Because

Happy Saturday!!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Today I am here to show you a really simple card that uses some super fun and bright tape from

 Love My Tapes.

When I saw this little stamped image from Stampendous, I knew it would be perfect to use alongside some of that fun Lime with Polka Dots washi tape. They coordinated so perfectly with each other with the polka dots. I simply added two strips of the Lime with Polka Dots washi along one side of my white cardstock and then added some ribbon and adhered that panel to my card base. I then stamped my image and greeting onto another piece of cardstock and colored with my copics. I then backed that onto some gray cardstock and popped that up with some foam adhesive, Super simple but I think it is so sweet. 

Here is a closer look at the Lime with Polka Dots tape:

Terrifc Tuesday Challenge-- All You Need Is Love

Happy Tuesday!
Are you all ready for a new Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at the Scrappy Moms blog?

The theme for this Terrific Tuesday Challenge is.... All You Need Is Love
Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

Lovey dovey cards are one of my most favorite types of cards to make. I love making them and then hiding them somewhere for a member of my family to find them, just because. Whether it is a lunchbox, in the car, or even sandwiched between some folded laundry. It always seems to help brighten up their day, if they are having a bad one, when they find them.  For this card, I used a sweet little girl SVG that I found at My Scrap Chick. Isn't she darling? I paired her up with that super sweet sentiment from the Smitten set by Scrappy Moms Stamps. I heat embossed my greeting using some white embossing powder to make it pop off of that dark pink cardstock. 

Here is a look at the entire Smitten set:

I love this set so much!

Scrappy Moms January Release!!!

Happy Friday!!

Today is a pretty exciting day!

 Today I get to show you 2 new super cute stamp sets from Scrappy Moms Stamps!! 

Woot Woot!!

Here is the first card that I created for this release using the stamp set called

You Are My Everything 2

I cut out my Strawberry Margarita from a file that I found in the Silhouette online store. I added some vellum to the front of my glass to soften it up a little and then added some chunky glitter to represent the salt on the rim and glossy accents to my strawberry. I added that super fun sentiment from the You Are My Everything 2 using some Jet Black Archival ink. 

Here is a look at both of the sets that are releasing today:
