Happy Goldfish

Good Morning!

A quick little post for a quick little card.

This will be entered into the Challenges at Stamp TV, Pop It Up!, Simon Says Monday, Go Fish!,  Simon Says Wednesday, It's Hip To Be Square, and Scrapy Land, Use An Image.

 

I used this sweet little image from Enjoy The Sunshine by Gina K Designs.  Spellbinders Labels 8 dies.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  This card measures 4 1/4 inches squared.

 

 

 

I wanted to keep the 'bubble' theme going so I added texture with a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and this fun orange card stock complete with bubbles.   Fishy Ribbon form my stash.  Wink Of Stella Clear and White Pens and a bit of Stickles on the scales.  Iridescent Sequins (more bubbles!)

 

A lone Pop Dot to pop up my jumping Goldfish.  They're kind of happy!

 

Thanks for swimming by!

 

Enjoy~~

Papertrey Ink August 2016 Blog Hop

Good Afternoon!

Hopping along with Papertrey Ink again this month!

 

 

 

I will also enter my card in the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, It's Hip To Be Square.

 

 

 

My card measures 4 1/4 squared.  I used the Papertrey Ink products Garden Gate.  This Kit includes matching stamps, dies, stencils and paper....I did not use any of the paper.  I used 2 stencils the lattice one and the leafy one.  Inks in Antique Linen, Wild Honey, Pink Pirouette, More Mustard,  and Black Licorice.

 

I also made a matching tag using an MFT Traditional Stitched Tags.

 

 

 

I swiped Pink Pirouette ink directly onto my Seam Binding Ribbon, then rinsed it a bit in water, using my heat gun I dried it to crinkle it a bit.  I kind of love this stuff, you can die it, age it with tea or even color it with Copic Markers.  FUN!  Jute Twine and Adhesive Rhinestones for accents.

 

Thanks for hopping by!

 

Enjoy~~

 

 

 

 

 



Live In The Sunshine

Good Monday Morning!

 

 

Back on the Dies R Us Blog today!

 

I die cut the Picket Fence by Amy Design twice out of card stock and then layered them together.  Then I used different inks to create a distress, weather-worn look, just by swiping the pad directly on to the card stock. 

Sponged in my sky and sand so I would know where to place my fence, foliage and sea life.

The sea life were die cut using the Sand Dollar And Starfish by Cheery Lynn.  I used a glitter paper for each, you can see the shimmer and shine in the light.  I also added some greenery, die cutting Foliage 2 by Paper Smooches in 2 different shades of green card stock. 

Added some seagulls in flight and my sentiment, stamped in Black Licorice ink.  Both stamp sets by Gina K Designs, By The Sea and By The Sea 2.

 

I also added a bit of Stickles to mimic sand. 

 

Can you feel the cool breeze, and smell the light scent of cocoa butter in the air?

This card will be entered into the Challenge at Scrapy Land, Use An Image.

Autumn Blessings & A Jar Of Buttons

Good Afternoon!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Double D, Neutrals, Cheery Lynn, Doily and Scrapy Land, Use An Image.

 

 



 

I was totally drawn to that jar of buttons and with the neutral colors I figured I could get away with making a Fall/Autumn/Thanksgiving card.  I started with the Papertrey Ink stamp set, Just The Jar--Quart and matching die, Jar And Lid.  Then I glued down a bazillion buttons, give or take a dozen, in neutral colors.  Wrapped with thick Jute twine and mounted it all on top of my halved doubled doilies, which I inked up with Antique Linen ink.  Flowers are by Elizabeth Craft Design, Garden Notes Zinnia.  And Cheery Lynn Wheat Heads, in 4 different colors.  

 

 

MFT Stitched Traditional Tags for my sentiment which is from Gina K Designs, Fanciful Fall, the small fussy cut leaf is from the Autumn Beauty stamp set.  Ink in Always Artichoke.  Brown Gingham Ribbon and Candy Dots for accents.

 

I am so HAPPY to be making Fall cards.....even the temperatures have dropped significantly here.  YIPPEE!!!

 

Thanks for coming by, appreciate you doing so!

 

Enjoy~~



Blessed

Good Morning!

My card today will be entered into the following Challenges; Papertrey Ink, Create Along With Us, Scrapy Land, Use An Image and Simon Says Wednesday, Make For The Border.



I fell in love with Betsy's card, seen here: 

 



 

 

Here's what I came up with:

 

 

I used the Papertrey Ink products, Lovely Layers and Daydreamer stamp and die sets and the Blessed from the Counting My Blessings die set. I framed/bordered in my card using the Paper Smooches Stitched die.  After using the curved Stitched die I simply cut off the lower portion.

 

 

 

Poppy Stamps Verona Flourish die cut twice.  K & Company Natural Twine and a Michael's Brand, Recollections Leaf Punch on inside panel.

 

Thanks for popping in.
