A little foiling to start the week. We all need to send sympathy cards at one time or another. This was a very simple card to make. The flower is a die from SSS that was cut and then foiled. The sentiment was a simple hot foil die set. A bit of background stamping to add interest. A simple and elegant card!

Have a great week, y’all!

This card was inspired by the current MFT sketch challenge . I used stamps from BB Penguins in Paradise and BB Polynesian Paradise. The penguin and the large flower are stamped on Copic paper and colored with a combination of copic markers and Black Widow pencils. The stamps were also used on Shrinky Dinks for pencils and used as shaker elemets: the pinapple, the drink, and flower. The foiling is from  Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken and Gemini Hot Foil in Cherise. The background stamp is Starry Night by Hero Arts using Versamark ink. Put it together and you have ……… Hello Lovely!.

Have a Lovely Day, y’all!

Challenges this card is entered include: MFT sketch challenge, SSS Early Bird Challenge, 2 Crafting Critter Crazies

A beautiful and peaceful scene. A little unicorn enjoying his home. This card was designed by DD14, who was inspired by the current Color Throwdown Challenge. She used Lawn Fawn dies and stamps to create the scene. The background is a blending of some distressed oxide and a great use of washi tape. Fabulous job girl!!

What an honor! Thank you so much to the group over at The Card Concept challenge. I was surprised to see that I won an honorable mention to your last card challenge. It was a fun challenge and look forward to this next fortnight challenge as well.

Happy Hump Day, y’all!

A gun gift card to make and receive. My DD14a created this card with some help from Lawn Fawn stamps/dies and MFT gift card dienamics and plastics. She did some simple copic coloring and the gift is ready to be used. She was inspired by this weeks color throwdown challange. It’s hard to see, but the gift card is gold.

Great Job, girl!!

A card inspired by the current Card Concept challenge. I was inspired by the colors, the rustic setting and the lake in the background. Definitely a mixed media card: distressed oxide ink, copic coloring, memento ink, Black Widow pencil and gellyroll pen along with some die cutting and embossing.

Happy Thursday y’all!

My first pop-up card! Oh my goodness, this was so much fun! Thank you to Karen Burniston for such a fantastic die set! Clearly, I used the castle die set and used Cinderella’s Castle at WDW as the inspiration for the colors and the addition of Tinker Bell. The castle was stenciled with some distressed oxide and the “towers” were embossed with a silver/black embossing powder. The castle needed some bling. LOL The patterened paper is from the Elsa and Anna Collection from Cricuit papers. The castle die cut on the front of the card is from a Hero Art’s set. Ms. Bell is obviously a Lawn Fawn fairy. My next attempt will have fireworks and if possible some lights.

Keep crafting y’all!

Happy Birthday to Me and everyone else with a June 7th Birthday!

I got to play this morning and created this Father’s Day Card. Shhhhh, don’t tell my husband. This card was inspired by the LawnFawnatics create a scene challenge and 2 Crafty Critter Crazies. Truthfully, this was spectacularly easy to make. All the dies and images are from Lawn Fawn Joy to the Woods. I first cut the trees out of 3M post it tape using the die set. Then, I stamped the animals using Versamark ink. 3M post it tape was cut using the coordinating dies and placed as masks for the animals. Ink blending was then done using Distressed Oxide in Citron, Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple. After all the masks were removed I used Black Widow pencil for the trees and the nest. A black frame and citron colored cardstock to finish the card.

Happy Sunday Funday, y’all!

It’s been FOREVER since I’ve posted; but, I’m back into it. YEAH!

This card was inspired by two challenges, the Color Throwdown Challenge #594 and the Less is More #420. I just loved the grey, yellow and white color palate this week and combining that with a dotted challenge was entirely too much fun. This is a one layer card with an inlaid flower. The flower is a die cut from Simon Says Stamp and I used a grey with white polka dot paper to cut out the flower. The same die was then used on the white paper for the base. For my yellow, I used a yellow-gold and foiled the oval and the greeting. A fast and easy card to make to get back into the swing.

Have a great Memorial Day, y’all!

There isn’t anything much cuter than a little furry friend playing at night. In a reply to the As You Like It challenge, animals are definitely more fun to work with than people. I adore cute, furry friends of any kind. Animals are fun and can be colored realistic or in a fantasy based scheme, which to me, makes them more enjoyable.

This card was originally inspired by the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge. Lawn Fawn’s Upon a Star set was used for this card. I started with bristol smooth card stock and clear embossing for the circles. Then some simple inking with distressed oxide inks in wilted violet,fossilized amber, stormy sky and black soot provided the color. All of the constellations were then embossed in white. Next, I reached for my Perfect Pearls; I used the white and the forever blue. I added the powder to some water and used a tiny fan brush to pick up the liquid and “splatter” it on the card. I then pulled out Lawn Fawn’s grass border die and used it to cut the sky and the grass. Last, but not least, was the bunny. He was stamped on grey card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I hope you like it! Have a crafty Thursday, y’all!

Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe & craft!
