Fresh Birthday

Hi everyone!

Today is my day to post over at the Jaded Blossom blog and I made this fun birthday card to share with you all today. 

I've recently been eating a lot of fresh fruit and I gotta say, I think it inspired me to make this birthday card lol! I started by inking up the front of my card base with some distress oxide inks. Once I had them blended the way I liked, I cut two pieces of white cardstock, stamped my greeting from the Go Bananas stamp set and layered the pieces on my card base with some foam tape, making sure to allow just a bit of the color to show through. Once I had that done, I cut out some fun fruits using the Fruit Dies and adhered them to my raised panels. I completed the look by adding some sequins and Nuvo drops by each fruit. 

So simple but I love the look of this card! and the stitching on that fruit....💜!

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

I really appreciate it!!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Jaded Blossom's July Challenge!!

Hi everyone!!

I hope you are all having a fabulous Sunday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom Blog!! Yay!!!

For this month's challenge, we would like to see your projects that use those awesome Jaded Blossom products and the following photo as your inspiration:

Such a cute photo and so many different ways that it can be used for your inspiration! Here is a look at what I made to share with you today:

I was inspired by the pastel colors and the words, Rainbow and Unicorn. I thought it would be fun to make a shaker and try to incorporate all those items onto my card. I started out by using a cloud stencil and inking up some clouds with oxide inks in different colors to form a "rainbow" cloud background. I cut out my cloud background using one of the Octagon Dies and started to create my shaker piece. I added some fun sequins, confetti bits, acetate and a frame that I created by stacking two of the Octagon Dies together. I created my card base from some light blue cardstock and used the Card Mat Die to cut out a piece of polka dot vellum to layer on top. I added my shaker piece to the front of my card and began coloring up that adorable Unicorn from the Unicorns and Glitter stamp set. Once I had her colored with my Copics, I fussy cut her out and added a bit of glitter to her horn. I added her to the front of my shaker window and added my greeting below her. I completed the look of my card by adding some Nuvo drops and confetti pieces on the acetate to provide a little more interest. 

I think this turned out so pretty!! I love the soft colors!

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

You Are My Summer!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous Friday so far!

I'm popping in real quick to share a card that I made today with a few challenges in mind.

The challenges are:

**Cute Card Thursday #589: Anything Goes**

**Simply Create Too #151: AG/Option Twist of Patterned Paper**

**PinSpirational Challenge #242 (photo below)**

(I was inspired by the colors and stripes)

and

**Mojo Monday Sketch #519**

Great challenges huh? Here is a look at what I created to play along with them:

As soon as I saw this new stamp set from The Greeting Farm, I knew I had to have it. My hubby and I met way back when (teenagers lol) at the beach and had our first date at the same beach the very next day. We shared many days and nights at that beach and so I knew I wanted to make him a card using this image and sentiment. I stamped my image, did some simple Copic coloring and used a circle die to cut it out. I layered my white card base with some patterned papers following the above sketch and stamped my greeting onto one of the strips. I die cut another circle and then popped my image up onto it with some foam tape for a little dimension. I completed my card with some doodles around the perimeter and some enamel hearts and white Nuvo drops. I think it turned out so cute and makes me smile :)

I hope you have a great crafty day!

You've Been Elfed!

Hi everyone!

Today I have a super cute Christmas themed gift card holder to share with you that I created using those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps and dies!

I couldn't help myself, I just had to keep playing with this new Gift Box Slider Die that JB released yesterday lol! I used some red striped patterned paper from AC to create my box and paired it with some paper from Doodlebug for the box lid and bow. I used the Elf Workshop stamp set and colored that sweet little elf with my Copic markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut it out and popped it up with some foam tape. I added a bit of glitter glue to her hat and gift that she is holding. I stamped my greeting onto a strip of white cardstock, notched the ends and tied it to my gift card holder with some crochet thread. I completed my gift card holder with some white Nuvo drops and some white gel pen doodles. 

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

I really appreciate it!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Here is a look at what I created to share with you:

I thought it would be fun to get a little ahead and make a few little gift card holders for the upcoming Christmas season using this fun new Gift Tags stamp and Gift Box Slider die!! The first one I made used some Holly printed patterned paper and some red glitter cardstock. The Gift Box Slider die is so easy to use!! It really did make this project a breeze! I used the new Gift Tags stamp set for my greeting and used the tag from the Gift Box Slider Die (the sentiments fit perfectly on the tag) and attached it to my bow with some red crochet thread. I completed my tag with a little bit of holly from the Christmas Banner Dies. 

Here is a look at the second one that I made:

I made this one in the same style as the first one. I just changed up the paper to some fun gingerbread patterned paper and some white glitter for the package accents and bow. I added a fun little gingerbread from the Christmas Banner Dies to help accent the tag.

You know me and my love for shaped cards so I decided to make a third project and use the Gift Box Slider Die a little bit differently and make a shaped birthday themed card. 

This was so easy!! I used the Slider part of the Gift Box Slider Die and cut it out twice. I scored one of the pieces right below the bow and then simply adhered them together making sure the scored piece was the back piece of my card. I then cut out some fun birthday themed patterned papers to decorate the front of my card and used the Gift Tags stamp set for my greeting. I completed the look of my card with some fun confetti stars.

So fun and cute!!
