It's Time to Party

HI all!  So one of my absolute favorite crafting companies, My Favorite Things, is having a MEGA contest!  I created this card for the Clean And Simple category.  This bear knows how to decorate for a party :D  Lots of masking of balloons but I just love it!  The balloons are from the retired Panda set.  I couldn't pass up the BB Bitty Bears stamp set from the latest release.  I added two extra balloons for him to hold ;)  The sentiment is also from that set.  The cool 'floor' he's standing on was cut out with one of the Blueprints elements and is from the Black & White Basics paper pack.  Everything was colored with Copic Markers.  A trio of sequins finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate!

Hi all!  Here's my spin on the sketch challenge MFTWSC348.  I used 3 different Ranger Oxide Inks to create a cool watercolored background then used the Celebrate Speech Bubble die to cut it out.  I used the same three inks to sponge the background, then adhered the die over the top with foam adhesive.  The sentiment is from an older set and is embossed with white ep and was cut out using an older Blueprints element.

Make Waves

Hi all!  First let me send out a prayer to all of those dealing with the aftermath of Harvey.  I have family in Louisiana and lots of friends in the Katy/Houston area and it is just breaking my heart to see what they're having to deal with.  Praying the rain stops and the water recedes quickly!

Ok, here's a card I made using the Honey Bee Stamps Ocean Bliss set.  I colored her with Copics then fussy cut her.  The background was created by adhering the hexagon shaped pieces from the Hexagon Cover Plate to the card base.  I love the texture it adds!  I added a few sequins and a sentiment from the Mermaid Song set to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fairy happy birthday

Hi all!  Here's a card I made using the latest MFTWSC341 sketch.  I went a little opposite with the sketch added watercolored layers on the ends and the square frame rather than the curved middle section :)  These fairies from the Fairy Happy stamp set are some of the cutest ones on the market!  I colored them with Copics.  I used an element from one of my favorite Blueprints (#25) for the sentiments.  Added a few sequins for more fun!  Everything was adhered with foam adhesive (except the sequins) to a Smooth White card base.

Lil Inker Designs - New Release Blog Hop Day 3

Hi all!  Welcome to Day 3 of the Lil Inker Designs New Release Blog Hop!  How amazing is this release??!

 My card today features the Filled Heart stamp set. This is such a sweet set that has several sentiments that can be added to the middle of the heart.  I colored in the heart details with Copics, along with the sentiment.  The heart was cut out with the Dual Stitched Heart and Kisses die.  I ran the card base through my machine with the previously released Quilted Stitched So Knotty die.  I added some silver cord and clear sequins for extra pizzazz ;)

Lil' Inker Designs New Release Blog Hop - Day 3!

Hi all!  Welcome to the final day of the Lil' Inker Designs New Release blog hop!  For today's card I used the Mirror Mirror stamp set and matching dies, along with the Sassy Script stamp set to spell out 'gorgeous'.  Isn't that font Gorgeous???!!  I used a piece of dp form the Tribal Chic paper pack with the  Quilted Stitched Pattern cover up die for the background.  How cool is that mirrored paper (also available in the store FREE for a limited time when you order the Mirror Mirror stamps and dies!)?

Don't forget to be awesome!

Hi all!  Am I the only one that can't believe 2016 is just days away??!?  Crazy!  I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season and spending it with those you love.  This is possibly my last card for this year so I thought I'd make it a little reminder for all of us as we head into the new year - don't forget to be awesome!  :D  The flowers are from the Waffle Flower set, DT Mix and the sentiment is from their In Every Way stamp set.  I inked the flowers and leaves with my Zig pens then stamped them onto watercolor paper.  Once they were all stamped, I spritzed them with water.  Well, I spritzed them a bit too much and lost most of the outlines of the stamps, so I inked them again and stamped them again where I had originally.  Pretty happy with the end result ;)  I added some clear sequins to the flower centers.  The card base is MFT's Gravel Gray.  I stamped and embossed the Garden Flourish BG stamp with silver pearl EP.  I love that embossing powder because it kind of takes on the color of whatever it's embossed over.  

Thanks for stopping by and in case I don't 'see' y'all until next year *wink*, Have a Safe and Blessed New Year!  And oh yea, don't forget to be awesome!

Hugs,

Merry Christmas

Hi all!  I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.  We are dealing with lots of ice and freezing temps, so I spent some time in my craft room.  :D  Here is my loose interpretation of the latest MFT sketch MFTWSC256.  I broke out an older Christmas set, I believe it's called Ornament Builder, and paired it with a sentiment from the newer set, Hand Lettered Holiday.  I love this color combo for Christmas cards!   I added a few sequins and cut out the main layer with an element from the Blueprints 13 dies.

Thanks for stopping by!

So happy...

Hi all!  Happy Friday!

Here's a card I made using two TAWS sets - Wispy Wishes and From Us.  I used an image from the Wispy Wishes set to create the fun background.  I broke up the sentiment so that it fit into the white space.  I added some gold sequins and adhered the layers a bit 'off' to make it more fun :)

Rain or shine...

Hi all!  Here's a card I made using the new TAWS set called Rain or Shine.  I really adore this umbrella because it's big enough for paper piecing but also fun to color!  I used my Zigs to color this one.  The sentiments are also in this set.  A few clear sequins from BRI add a little sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!  TAWS is having a liquidation sale going on now, so it's a GREAT time to get all of those sets you've always wanted!

Season's Greetings

Hi all!  Here's another card I made using of the many sweet images from the TAWS Mistletoe Kisses stamp set.  I colored up 3 of the poinsettias and fussy cut them.  I popped them up and added some gold sequins.  Soooo.... I started a new job.  I'm excited about it and think I'll love it but....  it means I need to plan my crafty time a bit better hence the pic with poor lighting. {sigh} I'll take a better one and add it later.
