Big Hugs

Good Afternoon!

I have a card to share with you that will be entered into the Challenge at Cheery Lynn, Doilies.

I saw This Card on Pinterest and I was inspired......I may have to rename this, Everything But The Kitchen Sink.....there is A LOT going on here!  lol

 

I started stamping the leaves from a Stipple Nature set by Gina K Designs and then added a few random dots from her Pretty Patterns 2 set.  Inks in Always Artichoke, Not Quite Navy and Soft Sky.  I also added some sponging to the focal panel, die cut leaves and cropped flowers in Antique Linen and Wild Honey.

 

Paper Smooches Foliage 1 dies in chipboard and card stock.  Cherry Lynn Wheat Heads, Poppy Stamps Dogwood Corner Blossom, Simon Says Scripty Big Hugs, and Dies R Us Butterfly Set # 2.   Half a doily sponged with Antique Linen.  Ribbon fiber, Jute Twine and Adhesive Rhinestones.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  I was going to add even more rhinestones to the layered flowers in the bottom right hand corner, but that just seemed to be too much to me hahaha.

 

Fun card to make....hope it is equally fun to receive!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

 

Enjoy~~

 

 



You're So Tweet!

Good Monday Morning!

On the Dies R Us Blog today! 

 

 

 

You know I love a pretty tag.....and I just adore a pretty tag ON a card!

 

I used the Die-Namics, Stitched Traditional Tags, layered in Brown and Pale Blue card stock as my base.  Then I created my little garden scene complete with birdhouses, fence and feathered friends.  I die cut my Picket Fence by Amy Design in White card stock.....because every house, bird or otherwise, needs a little white picket fence!

 

 

Using the sweetest little Bird House set from Paper Smooches I die cut card stock in several different colors.  I  also added some texture to one using a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  Laying out each piece, I adhered them and topped with my fence.  Of course, it needed something more.  Enter the handy dandy Foliage 2 dies also by Paper Smooches.  I must say that these particular dies are VERY versatile!  I have used them in flower bouquets, as grasses, like here, I have even made a wreath using only them.....lots of them!  They really are one of my 'go to' dies....a MUST have in any craft room! 

 

 

Another little Die-Namics Stitched Traditional Tag, sentiment by Gina K Designs, Home Tweet Home, stamped in Real Red ink, topped with 2 Adhesive Pearls.

 

Accents include, Eyelet, Button, Twine and a Natural Fiber Ribbon in Green.  The large tag is popped up using 3 Dimensionals.

 

This could be used for a New Home, Thank You or All Occasion card.  I think the recipient would enjoy this piece of Happy Mail!

 

Enjoy~~

A quick little post for a quick little card.

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!

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.
