Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day my friends! Anyone having corned beef and cabbage?  Attending a parade?  Drinking green beer?

I am not Irish, but I think everyone has a little bit in them right? ;)

I have a card celebrating today using Whimsy Stamp's Beaucoup Bouquet stamp set. 

I stamped the flowers and leaves randomly on green paper.   I colored them using Prisma Colored Pencils.  I took white paint and splattered it across the paper. 

I used Spellbinder's heart dies to cut 3 small hearts to create a Shamrock.  I hand cut a stem and gave it a bit of depth using Distress Ink in Twisted Citron.  I wanted something for the center of the Shamrock, so I thought a flower and leaves using the Peony die set was perfect. I used glossy accents on the outer edges of each heart and sprinkled it with Glamour Dust. 

For the background I used an old embossing folder I had in my stash to add a bit of interest and texture. I used the Smile Word die for my sentiment.  I inked the top of the letters a bit using Tim Holtz' Distress Ink in Twisted Citron.  Then coated it with glossy accents and Glamour Dust. 

I assembled the card adhering everything in place.  I added a few rhinestones and clear droplets from the Sparkletz Lucky Charms collection.   

I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day!!

Christmas!

Hello my crafty friends!  

I know, I know, I just had a post yesterday! What's wrong with me?  Two posts back to back?  Unheard of right?  But I have to tell you that this Paper Door kit is not going to available forever, so I had to show you another project with it!

I just love pink and blue together, and combined with these cute stamps? We have a winner, winner chicken dinner!

I stamped each image with Black Memento Ink and colored the stamps with Copic markers.  (The links to the individual colors are below).  The circles were cut using die cuts.  I used Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry to give them color and added glossy accents to the bottoms.  I sprinkled it with Glamour Dust. I also added White Nuvo drops for added snow.  Once it was all dry, I attached my stamped images using Crafty Foam Tape.  

I used the blue glittery paper and vellum included in the kit.  I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Christmas Clear stamp set.  I tied a pink gingham ribbon with jingle bells to the top.  

I am so glad you popped on by today!

Chef Penguin!

Good morning!

I have another card to share with you using this adorable stamp called, Penguin Baker!

I stamped him on water color paper and water colored him using my Zig Clean Brush Markers. 

I used an older Spellbinder's die and mounted it on red card stock. 

I adhered the image to a kraft base and added a brown gingham ribbon tied with rustic twine.  I glued a few sequins on to finish off the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

No Line Gardening Penguins!

Hope you all had a great weekend! I am back with a trio of cards using this super cute set from Whimsy Stamps.  The set is appropriately called, Penguin Gardener.  I stamped it in a light grey ink and used my Copic markers to color them.  I love the look of no line coloring, as to me it gives a story book look. 

I love the look of round cards for a change of pace!  I used various Spellbinders dies, circle, pinking shear, and scalloped.   

Each sentiment was stamped in a slightly different way.  For the card below I took the sentiment and shaped it on the acrylic block to give it a curve.  This is one of the many reasons I love working with clear stamps! It is easier to manipulate the stamps!

A few sequins, a little flower, and the cards were complete!

Hello Friend!

I had a left over popsicle die from my other two cards and simply could not waste it!

It was too cute and in my favorite flavor.......cherry!

It was colored with Copic markers and given a bit of sparkle.  I added a teeny flower, leaves, and gold string. I colored the yellow and orange panel with Copics and heat embossed the sentiment using gold Nuvo embossing powder. 

The "cracked" back panel is an old retired JustRite stamp that I stamped in orange.  

The final layer is a Spellbinder's die that I adhered to a light blue panel.  I went a little a lot nuts with the glitter!  

My room at school is nearly set up and open house is next Thursday.  As sad as I am to see summer winding down, I am ready for my next class of kiddos! 

Have a great weekend my friends!

Sweet Soft Serve!

I hope you had a great weekend! 

We had a bit of a "Stay-cation" weekend.  

We took our son out for the day Kayaking, lunch, shopping, and a movie. The next day we hung out at a friend's pool.  I am trying to squeeze in as much summer as I can before I head back to school!

Ice cream=summer.

Am I right?

Don't get me wrong, I could eat ice cream 365 days a year, but summer? A perfect fit!

I used the Spellbinder's Sweet Treats set again for this card.  I die cut them and inked them up with Tim Holtz inks. I covered them in glossy accents and added Queen & Company's Pops and some glitter.  

I used My Favorite Things Die cut letters, inked them up and adhered them directly to the ice cream. 

I used Gems from Queen & Company and coordinating card stock behind the image.

For a final touch, I tied white tulle to the top of the card. 

I appreciate you stopping by today!

Enjoy your day!
