Some people are worth melting for

Hi all!  Here's a sweet little card using the newly released TAWS set called Melt Your Heart Out.  How CUTE, right?!!?  This image is so easy to color - I used my Zig pens and also added Frosted Lace Stickles to him for some sparkle.  The sketch is from the FMS217.

Thanks for stopping by!  The TAWS Liquidation sale is still going on but time is running out so get over there quick before it's too late!!!

Coffee is always a good idea and a Giveaway!!!

Hi all!  Here's a card I made for the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  I always love participating with this fun group!

For my card, I used the coffee ring from the Thanks a Latte set from YNS.  I stamped it off to the right because I used the CTS142 sketch.  I also added a coffee cup die that I lined up with one of the rings for fun ;) The sentiment, from Clearly Sentimental about Coffee, was stamped on a fishtail flag STAX.  Just a quick little card, perfect to invite a friend to coffee.  :D

Now for the giveaway!!!!  How does a copy of the Creative Cards magazine Vol. 1 by Scrapbook & Cards Today PLUS a set of dies sound???!!!!

Happy birthday

Hi all!  Here's a card I made using the FREE when you spend $40 TAWS set, Party Pooper, with a sentiment from an older set called Yappy.  I embossed the kitty and balloons on watercolor paper, then colored them in with my Zig pens and an aqua painter.  I then fussy cut them all and popped them up on foam adhesive.  The sketch is from the SSSC287 and I used the colors from the CTD360.

YNS Feature Day - Celebrate!

Hi all!  It's Feature Day over on the YNS Blog and our theme is Celebrate!  I created a watercolored background using distress markers.  I had colored a separate piece with the same two colors and used the balloon buddies dies to cut out the balloons after I embossed them with Versamark.  The sentiment is from the 2015 YNS Birthday stamp set that is FREE when you spend $40 this month!  A couple of black gumdrops balance everything.  I used the FMS200 sketch again :D

Happy shaker Birthday!

Hi all!  It's time for another YNS DT Dare and this time it's time to shake it, baby!  For my card I'm using the newly released Wheelie Fun set and matching dies!  I colored this fun guy with Copics and popped him up on foam adhesive inside the shaker.  Some of the confetti/sequins inside was cut out using the confetti die.  The plaid dp was cut out using the stitched rectangle dies then I simply cut it at an angle to make it more interesting.  I added the stitching marks to the die cut circle using the circles - stitching marks die set.

YNS Sneak Peek time!

Hi all!  Welcome to Sneak Peek Day for the YNS August New Release!  Today I am using an image from the new set called Zero Calories ~ don't you love the name, hehe!  I colored it with Copics, then cut it out with the matching dies.  The sentiment is also from the set.  I curved it so that matched the curve of the circle die, which was cut out using the circle from the Peek a Boo Doors die set, then I added the stitch marks using the circle stitching marks die set.  The gumdrops are also from the new Ocean Mist pack.  :D

YNS Fun Friday - Thank you!

Hi all!  YAY for Friday!  That also means it's time for a new sketch and inspiration challenge over on the YNS Blog!  I used the sketch for my card. I colored this cutie from the Soaring By... set and used the matching die to pop him up over the plaid DP.  I used my stitched rectangle dies (currently out of stock) for all of the DP layers and the smooth white layer.  The little tab sticking out was cut out using the file tab die. I decided to jazz it up a bit and added 3 green apple glittered gumdrops.

TAWS Sneak Peek - Have a Super day!

Hi all!  I'm SO excited to show you my sneak peek card today featuring the TAWS set called Happy Hero!  There are several images and sentiments so you can create your OWN super hero!!!  WHAT?!?  I know, right?!! We looove all of the Marvel characters in my house and who doesn't love Captain America??  I decided to make my penguin Captain America, even added some glossy accents to his shield.  Everything was colored with Copics, then fussy cut.  I added the star background with an MFT stencil and some modeling paste, then sprinkled silver glitter over them before they dried.  I love that the sentiment covers a few different occasions.

Hi all!  Here's a fun card I made using the TAWS set Old School.  How funny is that sentiment??  It comes together but I used a sticky note to mask it so that I could stamp it onto 3 strips of card stock.  I even went with the 80s neon card base (limelight from MFT).  :D

YNS Feature Day - Summer!

Hi all!  It's Feature Day over on the YNS blog and this month's theme is Summer!  Oh, how I love summer!  Yes, I'd rather be hot than cold!  ;)   For my card, I used dies from the Rainbow Fun die set. I used distress markers to color onto watercolor paper then spritzed with water, then I die cut the area for my 'rainbow'.  I popped the clouds and rainbow up on foam adhesive over bit of blue card stock.  The smooth white card stock was cut out using the stitched rectangle dies.  The sentiment is from the Woodland Cuties set - I thought it went so well with the rainbow and can be used for many occasions!  I added gumdrops from the Neon Sunrise and Mermaid Fun collections.  The card base is banana split card stock.
