You Are Toad-Ally Awesome!

Hey everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Today I have a super cute card to share with you all that I made with a few challenges in mind. 

The challenges are:

--The Daily Marker's 30 Day Coloring Challenge--

--Shopping Our Stash #415 Is It Summer? (I used Bright Colors)--

--Always Fun Challenges #152 Shades Of Green--

--D.L. Art March 2020 Linky Challenge (Anything Goes)--

&

--Mojo Monday #532--

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by creating a card base from some Kraft cardstock. I added some fun bright patterned paper onto another piece of Kraft cardstock and then used a Wonky Stitch Rectangle Die to cut it out. I popped it up onto my cardbase with some foam tape and got to work decorating my card. I stamped those adorable images from Hello Bluebird onto a piece of white cardstock and colored them with my Copic markers. I added some grass along the bottom by using a couple of different Green Copics and just flicking up along the bottom edge. I stamped my greeting onto a piece of pink cardstock and then added both my sentiment and image panel to the front of my card. I completed my card with a little enamel heart, some white Nuvo drops and a little pink crochet thread bow. Adorable!!

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

A Very Merry Critter Christmas Card

Hi crafty friends! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card that I made with a couple of challenges in mind. 

The challenges that I am entering are:

--Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #66: Happy Little Holiday Critters--

--Shopping Our Stash #410: Happy Holidays--

--Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge: Anything Goes--

&

--Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Traditional Christmas--

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

I purchased this cute little stamp set from Lawn Fawn back in September, so I was so happy to actually pull it out of the packaging and get it inked up! I stamped all those fun images, colored them with my Copics, used the dies to cut them out and set them aside while I worked on the rest of my card. I covered a white card base with some fun snowflake patterned paper from Lawn Fawn. I created my frame by using a die from Jaded Blossom and cutting it from some white glitter cardstock. I used the Stitched Journaling Card from Lawn Fawn to create the focal point for my scene. I used some snowy paper for my background and then some more of the glitter cardstock for my snowy hills. I adhered my images, popping up some with foam tape and adhered my focal piece to my card front. I added my greeting along the top and placed a few snowflake sequins and white Nuvo drops to complete my little scene. 

I went with more of a traditional feel for this card with the color scheme, white Christmas and the star on top of the tree.

I think this is so cute! I adore these sweet little bunnies!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and take a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Hello

Hey crafty friends!

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter!

We had a nice family dinner with lots of yummy food and laughter.

I was able to put a card together last night for a few challenges.

They are:

1. Shopping Our Stash (Punches & Dies)

2. Creative Craft Cottage (#85 Dies and/or Punches)

and 

3. Sketch N Scrap (Card Sketch #95)

(Sketch n Scrap Card Sketch 95)

Here is a look at the card I created for the above challenges:

This card was so super simple to make! I made my card base from some Kraft cardstock and picked out some scrap pieces of patterned paper for everything else. I notched out the ends of the banner pieces and layered them together making sure to overlap just a little. I added some faux stitching all around my card base and the banner pieces with my white gel pen. I pulled out my neglected Pansy flower punch and punched out 2 flowers, layered them on top of each other and curled the ends up for a little dimension. I added some leaves from another neglected punch and attached the flower piece to my card. I finished off the flower with a button center and a crochet thread bow. For my greeting, I die cut the "hello" and placed it along the bottom. Like I said, so simple but I'm really liking it! 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and take a look at my latest creation!

Shopping Our Stash #290

Hey everyone and happy Valentine's Day!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #290 is....

Heartless

(Romantic project without using any hearts)

Here is what I created:

I have had this stamp in my stash for about 5 years now and it's been about that long since I used it last. As soon as I saw what the challenge was my mind immediately went to this stamp. I stamped it out onto white and onto a bunch of different patterned papers so that I could paper piece it so that their clothes and umbrella could have some fun patterns :) I used some stitched ovals to cut it out and popped it up onto another oval. I finished off my card with a fun scalloped edge and some pretty sheer ribbon. 

Neglected items from my stash:

--Patterned Paper; I used all scraps

--Stamp: Haven't used it in five years

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #289 is....

Winter Blues

(Use blue but DO NOT make a Winter card.)

Here is what I created:

I found this cute patterned paper in my stash and so a birthday card was a must for me for this challenge lol! I used a die to create that fun scallop rectangle that I placed onto my card base and then I layered an embossed piece of white cardstock on top. I die cut the balloon and popped it up with some foam tape. I added a little black thread bow to match the string. I was going to call it good but my card still looked like it needed something to me.  I randomly started placing sequins and star confetti in a diagonal line and loved the end result! It reminds me of confetti being thrown and a single balloon getting lose and flying away lol!

Neglected Items From My Stash That I Used Are:

• Patterned Paper: I got it from the Dollar Spot about a year ago and used it for the first time on this card

Shopping Our Stash #288

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #288 is....

Days Of Yore

(Make something with a Vintage/Shabby Chic/Distressed Look)

Here is what I created:

Confession time, I struggled with this challenge. I think Shabby Chic is gorgeous but it just doesn't seem to be my style so I was at odds with myself as to what to do and wasn't sure I could pull it off. I turned to my Cricut and found this sweet little lock image from the Victorian Romance Cricut Cartridge and that ended up being my starting point lol! I found some papers in my stash that I thought had a shabby chic feel to them and started building my card. I distressed the edges of my patterned paper, inked it and wrapped some ribbon and lace around it before adding it to my card base. I added my lock and added some clear Wink Of Stella to it for a little shimmer. I have a shoebox filled with paper flowers so I dusted it off and took a look inside (I never use them lol) and found these sweet pink ones that I added to the bottom corner. I added some pearl spray that I had left over from a mini album that I did in 2013!! I die cut some butterflies, added more wink of stella and then attached them to my card. I have a habit of buying these little metal keys from the little dollar bins from Michael's whenever I see them. Not sure why since I don't really use them lol! I added one to the the middle of my bow with a little glue. My card still looked like it was missing something to me so I looked around in my sticker bin and found some little Small Talk stickers from Tim Holtz and thought it was perfect! I trimmed it a little so that it fit between the pearls on my lock. I know Shabby Chic is not my area of "expertise" but I don't think I did too bad lol! I think my card came out kinda pretty and i am really happy with it :) 

Neglected Items From My Stash That I Used Are:

• Victorian Romance Cricut Cartridge. Can't remember ever using it and have probably had it for at least 2 years.
• Beautiful Wings Embosslits. Received this from a friend about a year ago and used it for the first time on this.

For challenge #287, it is

All That Glitters Is Gold!

Let's see some Gold Glittery Goodness!

Here is the card that I created:

I love the look of glitter but HATE the mess that it leaves behind, so I turned to patterned paper for this challenge lol! I created a black card base and adhered a piece of gold chevron glitter striped paper. I cut out a piece of turquoise cardstock, added ribbon and a bow and attached that to the glitter panel. I die cut the "hello" from black cardstock three times and glued them together to get it to pop off the card a bit more and added a turquoise butterfly to finish off my card

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #286 is....

Fantastic Beasts!

(Unicorns, Dragons, Monsters, Etc.)

Here is what I created:

My crafty bestie's hubby is having a birthday soon so I decided to make a card to send to him. He likes dragons so this challenge was the perfect time to get one made. 😀 I stamped the dragon and fire and colored them in with my Copics. I fussy cut them out and put them off to the side for a bit while I worked on the rest of the card. I took some distress inks and did a little bit of ink blending for my sky. I used a cloud border die to create the clouds at the bottom. I adhered the sky and clouds to my card base. I popped up the fire with some foam tape and attached the dragon to my card with an action wobble so that he "flies" a little.

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Distress Inks. I hardly ever use them.
• Puffy Cloud Border Dies
• Action Wobbles

Shopping Our Stash #285

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #285 is....

Stickle Me Elmo!

(Use some Stickles on your project)

Here is what I created:

I decided to use this challenge as a way to get a jump start on some of my Valentine's. I kept my card pretty simple so that it would be pretty easy to mail. I used a scallop rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs and stamped my greeting onto the bottom corner. That cute little girl came from the Sent With Love SVG file from KaDoodle Bug Designs. After I had her all cut out, I stamped a sweet little face onto her and then assembled her. I popped her bangs and the middle heart on her banner up with some foam tape for some added dimension. I brought out my trusty red stickles, which I haven't used in a really long time, and applied a thin coating to the hearts. I used a small and cheap paint brush to spread the stickles so that I got a pretty even layer of coverage. I added some pink pearl "earrings" and a few sequins to my card to finish it off. I think it looks kinda plain but I also really like that the focus is on that cute little SVG.

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Red Stickles! I can't think of the last time I used colored stickles! (pretty funny cause I used to be obsessed and had to have every color at the time)
• Sent With Love SVG. I don't use my Cricut and SVG's like I used to.
• Peachy Keen Face Stamps
• Pearls. I normally gravitate towards sequins/bling/enamel dots lately.

Shopping Our Stash #284

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #284 is....

Shape Up!
We would like to see your shaped cards (no circles or squares)

Here is what I created:

I kept my card pretty simple by simply using one of my spellbinder dies to create my card base. I needed 4 birthday cards for this month and these were pretty easy to mass produce. The best part is that I used up some of my scraps! The balloon was from some scrap patterned paper and I tied some crochet thread for the string and glued in various spots to create the loops. The sentiment is foiled in a pretty teal blue. My photo does not show that to well, it's pretty overcast here today so I apologize for my picture. I finished off my card with some white gel pen stitching and some sequins. Pretty simple but I really like how they turned out and they should mail pretty easily :)

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Labels Twenty-Two Spellbinders die (can't remember last time it was used)
• Patterned paper from my scraps

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #283 is....

Winter Wonderland

Let's see some winter (not Christmas) themed projects. 

Here is what I created:

I love these polar bears and had to have them right away when they came out a month or so ago. Unfortunately, they sat unused until now :) This challenge was the perfect time to take them out of the package and get them inky!! I stamped him and the fish, colored them with my Copics and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used some patterned paper that I have had for a while and an older sketch that I found online.

(Sketch from There She Goes Clear Stamps)

I added a small strip of vellum to soften the transition between the two patterned papers just a bit. I added some snowflakes and voila! Finished and fabulous, thanks to the cute bear and sketch, in no time flat!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #282 is....

Tag, you're it!!!

Let's see some tags! Whether they are on a card or a tag by itself. 

Here is what I created:

Isn't this little elf the cutest elf ever?? I stamped him and another present onto some white cardstock and colored him in with my copic markers. Once I had him all colored in, I used a tag die to cut him out. Layered him onto another tag and added my greeting. I finished it by adding some white ribbon and some red and white baker's twine. I left the ribbon extra long so that I can easily attach it to the gift. 

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Tag Dies and Tag Die Layers from My Creative Time. I can't remember the last time I used these dies but I am so glad I remembered them for this challenge. 
• Not really neglected but I re-purposed the twine off of some packaging.

Shopping Our Stash #281

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #281 is....

Gift Card / Gift Packaging

Here is what I created:

This little bag was so simple to create and came together rather quickly. I used a paper bag die to cut out my bag pieces. Before I assembled my bag together, I stenciled on some falling snow with white ink and then clear sparkly embossing powder. I die cut my little winter scene, adhered that to the front of my bag and then assembled my bag. That cute little reindeer was actually colored last year! I never got around to using him so onto my bag he went! I popped him up with some foam tape and added some glossy accents to his little red nose. I heat embossed my greeting and added some wired red tinsel for my handle and the bag was complete!

Inside I was able to fit a gift card and a few pieces of candy:

That little reindeer makes me smile :)

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Reindeer die cut left over from a previous project
• Frost White Ink, I always seem to forget about white ink 
• Snow fall stencil (last used last winter)
• Transparent Embossing Powder. I don't even remember when I purchased it lol

Shopping Our Stash #279

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #279 is....

Warm and Fuzzy!

(Fireplace, Warm hats, Mittens, Cocoa, etc.)

Here is what I created:

I thought it would be neat to try and recreate a living room setting with the fireplace all aglow and warm. This was actually pretty easy to do. I cut a strip of patterned paper for the carpet, added a striped white piece of cardstock for the wainscoting and a grey piece of cardstock for the wall color onto a piece of scrap cardstock. I then attached that to the front of my card base. I used a die from My Favorite Things for the fireplace and stockings. I assembled the fireplace, attached some "baseboards" and a "chair rail" and placed it onto my card front. To finish off my card, I stamped my greeting, matted it and hung it above the fireplace. I had this sweet little branch swag in one of my stamp sets so I colored it and fussy cut it out and placed it over the greeting. 

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Fireplace die from My Favorite Things. I have had this die for about a year and never used it until now.
• Branch from the July 2014 Peachy Keen Stamp Club set. I have never used this particular image from here.
• Patterned Paper from the Remarkable paper pad. I hardly ever use this paper pad even though it has some beautiful colors and patterns in it.

Shopping Our Stash #278

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #278 is....

Use something already out on your desk!!

This was a hard one for me. My craft space is in my dining room and our house is a open floor plan. You can see my crafty space as soon as you walk in our front door so I am in the habit of keeping my desk clean. As soon as I get done with a project, I clean my area up. I do have a little soap dish that I keep extra die cuts in though so that is what I used for my project. 

I had a tag and some hearts that I had foiled in here. A few months back I originally planned on using them in a layout for my Project Life album but ended up going a different direction so into the dish they went. I pulled them out and used them to create a really simple card.

Forgive my picture, for some reason I had a really hard time trying to photograph this. I'm guessing it was all the foil. This was the best picture of about 25 lol.  Anywho, I doodled around the edge of my card base with a black pen and added a black scallop rectangle with some foam tape to the center. I added some twine to my tag and adhered it at an angle. I added the hearts and called the card good! Easiest card I have done in quite awhile and I love how it turned it out!!

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!

Shopping Our Stash #277

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #277 is....

Gobble 'til you wobble

(make a Thanksgiving or Thank You card)

Here is the card I created:

I kept my card fairly simple so that I could focus on the wreath and greeting. I stamped my wreath with some brown ink onto a piece of cream cardstock and added some pops of color with markers. I used my patterned paper as a guide for my colors. I also added some gold metallic dots with a gel pen. I cut out my greeting using a word die from some kraft card stock and placed it onto a piece of vellum and adhered it over my wreath.

Shopping Our Stash #275

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #275 is....

Three Trees

(use at least 3 trees on your project)

Here is the card I created:

 I started off by adhering some ribbon to my pattern paper and attaching it to my card base. I stamped my trees from a Stampin' Up stamp in brown ink and added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the snow banks and tree branches. There is so much sparkle on my card, this picture really doesn't capture it at all :( I finished it off with a bow and a greeting in the corner.

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

--Lovely As A Tree Stamp set from Stampin' Up! (bought it used from a friend almost a year ago and used it for the first time on this card)

--Teeny Tag Holidays Stamp set (At least a year since I used it)

--Walnut Stain Distress Ink (can't remember ever using it before)
