Secret of the Wings was inspired by the current Lawnfawnatics challenge. Lawn Fawn’s Fairy friends and Frost Fairies were used to make this card. Some ink blending and hill border dies were used for the back ground. Iceberg embossing powder by Emerald Creek was used on top of the hills. Some simple copic coloring was used for Tinkerbell’s Friends (Periwinkle, Spike, Fawn and Rosetta). Simple Clear wink of stella was used for their wings. Some coordinating dies, foam tape and glue help assemble the card.

Have a great week crafters!

TGIF crafters! Have a caffeine enhanced morning!!

The inspiration for this card came from the card concept challenge. I took inspiration from the colors and a bit of the background to make this scene card. The scene card is just a unicorn having his morning coffee in the kitchen with his pet cat. Why not? Anytime I see coffee as a challenge, I can’t help think of The Rabbit Hole Design coffee stamps.

Here’s what I used. The background is simply white card stock embossed with a brick and wood grain which were then cut down and pieced together. The unicorn and coffee bag were stamped with Versafine black ink and embossed with Ranger’s Hologram clear embossing powder. The cat and shelf were stamped with Memento black ink. All the images were fussy cut and then some Copic marker coloring finished them. For some shimmer, gold metallic paint and clear wind of stella were added to the unicorn. It’s hard to see the shimmer in this photo, but it is there. The smile die cut is from my stash. The sentiment “Caffeine makes me sparkle” (hard to read in this photo) was stamped with Versamark ink on acetate and embossed with Emerald Creek’s Apple Martini embossing powder. A little glue and some foam tape put it all together.

Have a great weekend y’all!

What a wonderful surprise upon waking this morning!! One of my cards received an honorable mention from the lovely hosts of Fusion Card Challenge. Thank you! I love your challenges! See you in the next challenge!!

I am so very honored! Thank you to the hosts of this card challenge! I appreciate your time and well thought out challenges. Cheers!!

I don’t know how many other crafters follow card makers on youTube, but I watch them OFTEN. I was watching Nichol Spohr, LLC Thursday night and loved her new cards using the Spellbinders Hot Foiling and Polychromos. The cards she made are stunning! However, I don’t own any of the supplies she used. So, I did the next best thing, I used what I had. Thank you MayMay Helms for always reminding me of this!

So here’s what was used: BB Magical Unicorns (MFT), Lawn Fawn stitch die frames, Mementa heart border die, Gemini Foilpress Turquoise, Emerald Creek candy turquoise embossing powder, Ranger Transparent texture paste, Kindred Stamp’s moon and star stencil, white charcoal pencil, Prismacolor colored pencils and Wink of Stella clear glitter pen.

The clouds and heart border were cut out with dies and then hot foil added with the Gemini Hot Foil Press. The white and small turquoise rectangles were die cut and the stencil and texture paste were used to add the stars to the card stock. The unicorn was embossed and then colored with pencils. It’s hard to see the sparkle from the wink of stella glitter, but in person it’s twinkles. The Happy Birthday sentiment came with the Hot Foil Press. A little art glitter glue and foam tape puts it all together.

Enjoy your day crafting y’all!

This card was made by my DD14. She was inspired by two challenges: Lawnfawnatics Bring it Back and CAS(E) this Sketch #361. She used some washi tape from our stash for the stripes on the bottom. Lawn Fawn’s party animal supplied the image and the sentiment. A little memento black ink and copic coloring, and you have a card. Hope you enjoy!

Happy March Crafting Y’all!

What would be a better way to stave off the Monday blues than curling up in a comfy chair and reading a good book? When I saw the newest Fusion Card Challenge, it just screamed the MFT stamp set BB Our Story. I tried to marry the photo and the sketch as best as possible. For the background a stitched frame from Lawn Fawn was used on three colors of card stock that were then cut down and pieced together. The grey card stock was scored every half an inch to simulate the wall in the photo. The white panel is simulating all the white desk area; however, it looked a little barren, so I added the side table. The stamps were stamped with Memento ink and colored with copics, resembling the colors found in the photo.

Have a crafty week y’all!

These winter wishes were inspired by The Card Concept challenge #129. The snowmen, the snowflakes and the greenery is what inspired this card. This single layer card is in the style of Taffelberry Lane, aka Antonia Florence, from youtube. A Joy Clair stamp and some Memento ink provided the snowmen. I used a new set of Lineon 30 alcohol markers for the coloring. After coloring, some Versamark ink and white embossing powder was used for the sentiment. Falling snow was added using a white Gelly Roll pen. This is the first time using these markers; I’ve been looking for some less expensive alcohol markers for some younger children. These markers were only $14.99 from Amazon and blended well. If you are in the market, give them a try!

Happy Sunday Funday, y’all!

TGIF crafty ones! A simple smile to start the weekend. This card was inspired by the current Time Out Challenge. I met an adorable 4yo girl at work this week. She brightened my day and I wanted to send her something to repay the kindness. I had just receive the smile stamp set from MFT and knew it would look fabulous on this confetti paper. Super easy and fun to make. I used Versafine tuxedo black ink and Emerald Creek’s Black Cherry embossing powder for the sentiment. Two additional sentiments were used. One inside the card saying, “Because of you, I smile a lot more.” The second was used on the envelope, “Sending a smile your way.”

Hope this is a little something that makes you smile, y’all!

A true MFT challenge! The current color challenge by MFT inspired this card. I used the MFT gift card window and frame die-namics along with the essential sentiment rip strips die-amics (on the back) to place the gift card. The colored images come from BB Penguin in Paradise and the sentiment from BB Polynesia Paradise. I just love how these cards turn out. I use them for thank you cards and usually have a few in the stash ready to use. These colors were just so cheerful and fun to work with.

Sunny Smiles Y’all!
