Hello Everyone!

Thank you for joining me today because I am so excited to be a part of the Spellbinders + FSJ celebration for their new release called Hello Summer!

This release not only has stamps and dies, but also inks, sprays, stencils, sequins and so much more!

For our Blog Hop today I made three projects from the Splash Zone Collection! 

Die cut my mermaid's tail 4 times and layered in rainbow order with an ink smooshed background using my distress oxides in tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon (of course) for my wave!

Used my Colorburst Colored Pencils for my mermaid along with my alcohol markers...  Used my oxides and the Splash Zone stencil to have a subtle wave in the background - added sparkle with the sequin pack!

You knew sequins were going to be one of my projects right?  LOL  I used the Luminous Alphabet stickers to spell out SHINE inside my shaker element...  Stamped my image and fussy cut it out and make sure I had some bubbles using my Bubble Bubble stencil in the corners for some texture...

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders+FSJ is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes on Monday, July 1st, 11:59 pm EDT. Winners will be announced in the Spellbinders+FSJ blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties, and taxes.

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with another design team project for Rubber Stamp Tapestry!  For today's project I grab all my peg stamps and grabbed a bunch!  This is just another quality I love about these peg stamps - they are interchangeable with each other!  it just gives us even more possibilities...right?!? LOL...

I used two sets from their release from May 28th the first is called Poppy Fields and the second is called Southern Charm.  These may look very familiar - and they should!  These are larger images or the originals that were released earlier in the year!

The oldies but goodies are Bittersweet and Cherry Blossoms - perfect to fill in those small wonky areas we had in our window.

As always used my memento ink dew drops and went to stamping!

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Episode 11 in our Simplicity Series for card making.  It is very easy in this craft to get overwhelmed...  so many techniques, so many products, and so many ideas!

But it also does not mean those are the only ways we can create our paper crafts!  Keeping it basic is just as wonderful and beautiful and keeps it all in perspective!...

Paper itself can provide texture and design in one cut...  So lets see how with just paper, scissors, adhesive and your imagination beautiful art is created!

Hello Everyone!

I was looking around my craft room and saw all of those little bits and pieces that I just cannot throw away!  So I dug them out and and just started creating!

It does not look like I would have put a big dent into my card stock stash, but what did feel really good is I did not cut into a new piece of card stock! LOL...

The canvas I created on was provided to me by ARTEZA®.  These are their 5 in x 7 in canvas and I love the thickness of these...  Perfect to maneuver on your craft table!  The dies I used are from Lawn Fawn called Pretty Poppies and I just thought these were perfect for my focal point on my canvas.

Accented my panel with some stamping and stenciling and we have a beautiful art journal canvas!

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Birch Press Design making a Birthday Card perfect for any age!  I am so in love with the regal look of black and gold when layered together!  With the Adora Layering die set you will get a different look every time with any card stock you chose.

​I started by cutting my layers using card stock from my stash. What I love about this die set is all the wonderful hearts you get that are perfect for a future shaker card.  So, make sure you save all those wonderful pieces!

Once my card stock was cut, I layered the outer and center rings together using my liquid adhesive.  I also cut a piece of card stock to a Standard A2 4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch top folding card base in black.

​For my sentiment I chose the Big Birthday Die and I made sure it was front and center using the gold mirror card stock with black as the shadow.

After my sentiment and layered die cuts were in place I used my versamark ink and my gold embossing powder for a small sentiment from the Lingo Thank Stamp Set placed down in the bottom right hand corner of my card.
