Are you Cured Yet?

Hi Everyone! 

I'm back today to share a card for a 

few challenges going on right now.

The first one is the current 

Color Throwdown Challenge #376.

Aren't those colors so fun??

The next challenge is the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #264.

Awesome sketch, right?

Here is my take on the sketch using The Whole Herd again!

I just love this set, can you tell?? :)

Love that super cute little pig 

and how fun is that sentiment??

This card was pretty easy to put together. I stamped and colored the pig with copic markers then I cut the patterned paper and die cut a circle window to fit the pig. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white and added some natural twine. Then I finished the card 

with some white faux stitching.

Thank you so much for stopping by today 

and I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Go get crafty and join the challenges!

Hi Everyone!

Happy Hump day! 

Today I am sharing a card I made for one 

of the current card sketch challenges over at

Scrapbook.com for January.

Here is my take on the sketch using some of the 

things I got in January's Simon Says Stamp Card Kit.

First, I heat embossed the sentiment and the background (the snowflakes) then I took some scraps from the kit that I had from previous cards and adhered those down in the pattern.

Next, I added some snowflakes, also in the kit, with a few clear rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!!

Hey Chick!

Hi Everyone! 

Yesterday I saw several cards from my crafty friends using the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch 263. So I thought it would be fun to play along. 

The challenge ends today at Noon EST. 

Nothing like last minute huh?! 

Update: I posted this just a tad bit too late.

Here is the sketch:

MFT Sketch 263

I had a few of these cute chicks stamped out on my desk from yesterday's Card Harmony project so I thought these would be fun to use. Of course, from The Whole Herd 

from My Favorite Things.

The cute mama Chicken and her chicks were stamped with MFT Hybrid Black Licorice ink and colored with copic markers. The background of the card is a Chicken Wire stamp from Peachy Keen stamps that is no longer available. I sponged the card base and chicken panel with Vintage Photo distress ink. Then I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment in white. 

Everyone knows I love my chickens, all 19 of them!! 

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

APB- Weekend Project Life cards

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I am sharing a project for 
the Trendy Twine design team.

I am sharing some DIY Pocket Scrapbooking (Project Life style) cards using several of Annie's Paper Boutique Planner stamps. I made three cards, two of the "Weekend" one because I thought it would also work perfectly in my MAMBI Happy planner.

I took the Stitched Journal die (Lawn Fawn) and for my cards but first I added the borders, using the Speech bubble border die (Lawn Fawn) and the Stitched Borders 1 die (Pretty Pink Posh), then I added some stamping to each card using the stamp sets. I heat embossed the "Today I'm Feeling" with white embossing powder to make it pop on the Melon Mambo cardstock. I used the Check It Off set for the lines, 'To Do List' and Notes. Then added some Totally White Trendy Twine with a bow for a little decoration and a strip of washi tape on the other cards. I think these will be perfect to journal on or just as filler cards and to punch and add to a planner.

Card Harmony- The Whole Herd

Hi Everyone!

Today is the third Monday of January, 
so you know what that means?
Card Harmony time with my bestie Stacey.
This month Stacey picked The Whole Herd from 
My Favorite Things stamps and a Sketch.

i {heart} Sketches no. 49

Here is the card I created using both of these.

This stamp set and sketch were so fun to work with. 

I loved it! These Farm animals and sentiments are the best!
I started by coloring my image with copic markers, after a bit of stamping and masking then I added all my paper layers and sentiments. Then finished it off with some burlap ribbon.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Make sure to stop by Stacey's blog to see what she has created with these two!!

Krafty Love Notes

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a card using a new Pink and Main set, True Love.
I wanted to keep these cards fairly Clean and Simple to let the sentiment be the star of the card. Isn't that font just beautiful? 

I made two card with this set, one with light kraft cardstock (Crumb cake) and one with darker kraft card stock (Recollections). I stamped the sentiment in white pigment ink them heat embossed it with some white embossing powder. I stamped the 'Always & Forever' in real red ink below it. Then I scattered some small hearts on the card and accented those with some Wink of Stella glitter and Glossy Accents.

Trendy Twine- Hello Love

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I am sharing a project for the Trendy Twine

 design team.

This month the team is featuring 

Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.
I made a Love themed card that can be used for Everyday, Anniversary, or Valentine's Day. 

I used a stencil from American Crafts for the sentiment and hand stitched the word "Love" and the little envelope with a few different Trendy Twines.
The 'Hello' is from the Valentine's Day Printable and the sequins are from the Frosty Sequin mix.

I just love this cute little envelope with the heart seal! 

These colors are just perfect for any love or Valentine's themed card.

Welcome Sweet Baby!

Hi Everyone!! 

Today I am sharing a sweet baby gatefold card 

for the Pink and Main design team.

This is also a sneak peek of a new January set coming later this month called Sweet Dreams Baby.

 I used crumb cake cardstock for my base and used the Bundle of Joy -Boy 6x6 paper from Echo Park. I stamped the image and colored some of it with copic markers and then I paper pieced the rest of the image, like the pjs, 

teddy bear, hat and stars.

I added a sponged background by masking the image and using some Peacock Feathers distress ink.

I stamped the clouds and added a sentiment to a few of them then fussy cut them out. I added a little shimmer to them with some Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen. I finished the card with some stickles and a few buttons.

A Sparkly Hello

Hi Everyone! 

Today starts a new challenge on the

Pink & Main Challenge blog: Sparkle!

For my sparkly card, 

I used the Stitched Greetings 

stamp set.

I took a stitched rectangle panel and heat embossed the "Hello" sentiment from the set in Kaleidoscope embossing powder. I also heat embossed the stitched tag in Silver and stamped the "Hello" sentiment in purple.

I added some glittery silver washi tape, a thin strip of cardstock, some snowflake sequins and lily white enamel dots  to the panel and sentiment tag. The patterned paper is from the Polar Pals collection from Doodlebug.

I just love these colors and of course, all that sparkle!

I hope you are inspired today!

Hugs for You Card and some exciting news!!

Hi Everyone! 

Happy, Happy New Year!! 

I hope your New Year is off to a great start!

I have some exciting news to share

I am now a Design Team member 

for Pink & Main Stamps!

Woo-Hoo!!! I am so excited! 

They have the cutest stamps  and the sweetest owner.

Today is my first project as a Team member and I'm also sharing a sneak peek of the January 2016 release.

For my card, I used one of my favorite color combinations.

I stamped the background using one of the new sets, Fun Washi being released later on this month, on a stitched rectangle die cut panel. This set has so many fun possibilities. I embossed the sentiment from another new set, called Hugs Needed in silver embossing powder. 

How beautiful is that font!
