Hatchling Arrival! | Featuring Pink and Main | SFL Design Team Project

​Hello Everyone!
 
I am here with yet another project for Scrapping for Less!  The Dragons are back, featuring Pink and Main – Fired Up! Stamp Set!
​I used Archival Jet Black Ink to stamp all my images and colored them using my Faber Castel Polychromos.  Added a touch of Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide with my Nuvo Blender Brush to help highlight the sentiment.

Instead of using a sparkle pen I decided to break out the white gel pen to add some doodles on the packages!

Happy Thoughts! | Featuring Rubber Stamp Tapestry!

Hello Everyone!

I know it has been a while since my last post, but we have been going a little crazy around the home.  Sometimes life does have to come in and make a presence, LOL..
I have a quick and easy card I created using the Shine and Sparkle Peg Stamp Set from Rubber Stamp Tapestry!  If you have been here for a while you know I am in love with these stamps.  Not only are they unique but You can create any type of card with them...
For this card I decided to pull out my Stampin' Up! Inks and started to stamp away around the outside of my card base!
Picture
The sentiment I used is from the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Stamp and Die Set...   Once the card was completed I used my vintage photo Distress Ink all around the edges...  for some reason I am on a roll with that!

Hello Everyone!

Tonic Studios Craft Kit No.8 is in the craft room!  Remember the first project was a tealight holder!  The die set is perfect to create a box in a snap! But since I always like to see what my supplies will and can do, let's make some cards with this kit!
Here are three designed using the dies and some small extras! Beautiful steel blues and  silver metallic created the theme.  
Picture

I used the side panel dies to create cut outs in the card bases and backed the openings withe some of their specialty papers.
With one of the dies you can even create an inside pocket to share something special!

Hello Everyone!
 
I am here with yet another project for Scrapping for Less!  The Greeting Farm – Little Mermaid! stamp set is just adorable and is perfect for a pick me up!
​I used my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp all my images since I will be using my alcohol markers to add the perfect touch of color. Have a said how much I am in love with my Stampin’ Up! Blend markers?  LOL… The Distress Oxides in Peacock Feather, Broken China and Blueprint Sketch just had to come out and play and create the ocean waves! I think have become my favorite ink pads! – OK we know they are…

​
​To add that perfect embellishment I chose the Pretty Pink Posh Droplets to scatter around my card!

 

​I hope you enjoyed this design and stick around or so much more to come!

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin for March 2018

Hello Everyone!

Let's have some fun with the March 2018 Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Card Kit!  Since this is their 5 year anniversary, this kit was jammed packed with some awesome crafty goodness!  Make sure you watch the video below from my YouTube Channel to see all the wonderful embellishments you got with this kit!

This gave you enough supplies to make 8 cards and 8 envelope pockets!  AMAZING!
The card bases came in tan and burgundy with design panel that coordinated.  Die cuts in flowers and sentiment panels helped to add dimension to your cards!

If you are one that loves to have texture on your card, don't worry... ribbons and twine solve that in no time!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Not only do you get to make beautiful cards, but you also get to embellish pocket envelopes to package any small gift in style!

There is no cutting board need to put these together!  You only add the closure using brads and twine and a few die cuts and they are ready to go in a pinch!
But remember, we never have to limit ourselves to just the instructions!  Make your own creation from the supplies you receive within the kit!  Which is one of the things I love to do!
Picture
​Whether you are a beginner or an advanced card maker this paper kit is perfect!  It has everything (and I mean everything) you need to make your monthly project from start to finish, and you can even make your own designs out of the supplies they provide…  They do not limit their designs to just cards, but also home décor, tags, treat holders and so much more…  
If you are interested in this monthly subscription, the link below is to my demonstrator, Wendy!  She is awesome and always there when you have a question that needs a quick answer! Below are the links to connect with  her!

Hello Everyone!
Here is Part 2 of the Hero Arts Monthly Card Kit for March 2018!  I had alot of fun with this kit...  With mostly sentiments as their focal points, you can create almost any type of card you need in a pinch!
Picture
Picture
What is even better with this type of stamp set is you can pull out all those coloring mediums that just sit around our craft room!  So here comes the distress oxides, colored pencils and dye inks!
Picture
Picture
Sometimes the simplest techniques can make the best cards!  Use black ink and then colored pencils to add a pop of color in one area of your card...  It is not written anywhere we must color all the objects!  LOL
Picture
Interested in some of the card shown here?  Just watch the video below and see just how simple this all is!

    Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably made it and collected it. I simply find so much joy in working with my hands and seeing a happy customer with one of my creations. There’s nothing better! But I also love helping people become stronger and seeing them find THEIR happy through THEIR creations.​
