Happy Birthday Dragon Box Card- Die Cutting Divas Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!!

Today I am sharing a project as a Guest Designer for Die Cuttin Divas.

I decided to make a box card using the Box Card Die from Pink & Main Stamps, some stamp sets and dies from My Favorite Things- the Magical Dragons, Make a Wish, and Beary Special Birthday stamp and coordinating dies.

My husband loves dragons and his birthday is this month so this challenge was just perfect. Besides, I don't know about you but I can always use Birthday cards. 

I started out with green cardstock from Bazzill for the card base, then I used the Dragon Tails 6x6 patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs to decorate the panels. Next, I stamped and copic colored the Dragons, presents and balloons then I was able to assemble the card. Finally, when I had everything in place for the box card, I added the sentiment from Make a Wish and framed it with some blue cardstock. 

I hope you like my card and are able to join the fun Die Cutting Divas Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Happy 5 years to Helen & Sukie!!!

Hi Everyone!!

Today the Trendy Twine Gals, Helen and Sukie are celebrating a design team milestone of 5 years!! So I was asked to be part of the celebration as a friend and Trendy Twine DT Alumni.

Congrats Ladies!! 

For the cards, I decided to copy and replicate with my own style a card from Helen and Sukie.

The first card is for Helen, and I used Lemon Tart Trendy Twine on the card and some bright patterned papers and a die cut flower with a bold sentiment. I was inspired by Helen card design and papers.

First, I die cut the green patterned paper with a stitched rounded rectangle die (Pink and Main) then stamped the sentiment from the Simply Fabulous Sayings stamp set (My Favorite Things) in black ink. Then I added some Lemon Tart Trendy Twine around the panel and finished with a triple bow. Next, I layered the green panel and the flower panel to a white card base. Then I added the die cut and layered flower and a few sparkly enamel dots and that finished the card.

For Sukie's card,

I used Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine.

I was inspired by her tag and butterflies. 

I used a new product from WPlus9- Large Butterfly Frame die and die cut it several times to layer. I colored the inside of the butterflies with some pink copic markers for simple shading then added some sparkle pen for shimmer. To layer behind the die cut panel, I used some pink grid patterned paper. I wrapped the Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine to the right side and finished with a hand cut tag with a 'Celebrate you!' sentiment from My Creative Time in black ink. I added some of the same pink copics to the edge of the tag and added a Pinkberry Sorbet bow with long tails. To finish it off, I added some sparkling clear sequins in 4 and 6mm sizes.

Close up of all that SPARKLE!!

Congrats Again to Helen and Sukie!!

Make sure visit their blogs and get inspired!!

Joyful Dandelions

Hi Everyone!! 

I am back for my last card for the 

My Favorite Things Camp Create! 

I had so much fun getting crafty with 

these challenges and inspiration!

Day 5 was Stunning Shadow Stamping.

In case you missed any of them and want to play along:

For my card, I used the Dandelion Wishes stamp set from Clearly Besotted and the Cheerful Blessings stamp set (MFT stamps) since I don't own any solid MFT stamps but I love the sentiments from this set and I enjoy sending out encouragement cards.

I used some Melon Mambo cardstock and ink (Stampin Up) and the Unicorn pigment ink (Hero Arts) to create my shadows and sentiment. Then I rounded two of the corners and added a few sparkling clear sequins (Pretty Pink Posh).

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Have a wonderful day!

Feel Better Piggies

Hi everyone!

I am back to share a card I created for the My Favorite Things Camp Create: Bonfire Challenge!!

The Bonfire Challenge is to create a single layer card.

For my card, I went to one of my favorite sets that I own, The Whole Herd stamp set (MFT Stamps).

I just love those little piggies and that adorable and fun sentiment.

I stamped the pigs in the Black Licorice Hybrid ink and colored them with Copic markers. Then I added the sentiment and die cut the panel. I popped it up with some craft foam for a little dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

A Cheerful Heart

Hi Everyone! I am back for Day 3 of 

My Favorite Things Camp Create.

Day 3 is Remarkable Resist.

Here is the card I created for the challenge.

I used a new to me Distress ink combo. I stamped the background with a Stampabilities background stamp in white then added Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough distress inks over it to reveal the resist! Then I heat embossed the sentiment from Cheerful Blessing stamp set (MFT stamps) in white and made a banner out of it, along with a piece of vellum. 

I finished the card with some Sparkling clear sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Have a wonderful day!

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team Project:

I know I can always use some friendship cards, so I wanted to use this cute nurse and sentient from My Favorite Things. I stamped the nurse and colored her with copic markers then I die cut her and two coordinating red patterned papers from Patriotic Picnic paper (Doodlebugs) with the Zig Zag stitched rectangles die (MFT). The patterned papers are layered on white card stock. The sentiment is heat embossed in white on the red card base. I added some hearts with wink of stella glitter and glossy accents.

Trendy Twine- Everyday Butterfly Blessings

Hi Everyone!!

I added a large doily to the side of the bag, wrapped some Grape fizz twine around it and tied a bow, next I added a die cut circle with a sentiment (My Favorite Things) in coordinating purple ink and some sponging in purple around the edge of the doily and circle. I finished off the bag with some die cut butterflies and a little bit of star dust stickles.
