Greetings From the FUNNY Farm!

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a card featuring 

some new stamp sets just released from 

Pink and Main stamps- 

Funny Farmer and The Herd.

How stinkin cute are those animals and that farmer?? 

Love them!!
I made this card simple to let these characters be the star of the show. I started out by stamping then masking the farmer and then the different animals. Then I colored everything with copic markers and added some white gel pen accents. The sentiment is from the Funny Farmer set. Lastly, I added a little bit of wink of stella clear glitter brush pen to the tool.
These two stamp sets have so many fun possibilities! 

I can't wait to share more fun cards with it.

PPS 003- Otter Birthday Wishes

Hi, everyone! 

Today I am sharing the new sketch challenge at 

Paper Play Sketches.

Hope you'll join us!

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team Project:

I stamped this cute otter in brown ink and colored it in with copic markers. I also colored the little gift box then cut his hand so it looks like the otter is holding the gift while floating. The paper is pretty and holographic, perfect for a fun birthday card! I cut the waves using the negative of a scallop border die from Pretty Pink Posh. The banner is a few punches from Stampin Up and EKSuccess that are popped up. I can always use birthday cards and this sketch is perfect for that or any special occasion! I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

Hap-BEE Birthday!

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a few cards for 
the Trendy Twine Design Team.

This month the team is featuring 
the Bumblebee Trendy Twine.

I made some fun "Bee" inspired birthday cards.

This card is made for a boy.

 This one is made for a girl with her cute little bow.

 For these card, I kept the background white with some honeycomb embossing, I added some yellow and black washi tapes to the panels along with some Bumblebee Trendy Twine, one with a bow and one with an open bow. I colored the cute bees from 2CuteInk- Cupcake Bee with copic markers and added some accents with white gel pen, wink of stella clear glitter brush pen and stardust stickles.
Next, I die cut the bees out with a circle die then added the fun sentiment to curve on the circle edge. Then I finished the card with some more Bumblebee Trendy Twine as a bee trail and bow then added some matching enamel dots to the card.

Hugs Sent

Hi Everyone!!

Today I am sharing a set of cards I made for 

the Pink and Main design team.

Today I used the Hugs Needed stamp set and Hugs die.

I made 6 cards total with a variation of the sentiments 

that fit with the Hugs die.

The first set of cards I used some sparkling clear sequins.

First, I did some tone on tone stamping with purple, light pink and a light teal color. I stamped the main sentiment and a few hearts from two other Pink and Main stamp sets: Go Bananas and The cute raccoon freebie from Jan./Fen. 2016.

Next, I die cut some vellum squares, some plain, some with hearts or polka dots. Next, I die cut the Hugs sentiment so I could figure out where to heat emboss the rest of my sentiments that coordinate. I adhered the sentiment to the card and added some sequins and a little wink of stella clear.

This card set has the iridescent sequins from Darice that fit perfectly with these colors.

Easter Four Fun folds card

Hi Everyone!

It's time for another Pink and Main Challenge!

This month's challenge is SPRING!

I'm ready for it, are you?

We didn't have a brutal winter this year, so I can't complain but I am ready to be outdoors.

I made a four fold fun Easter card for my project.

Easter always makes me think of spring and spring colors.

This card is a variation of the spinner card. 

Interactive cards are so fun to make and to receive!

I used the Easter Peeps stamp and coordinating dies 

for this card.

I colored the little chick and the butterflies with copic markers and die cut them. Each panel measures like a standard A2 card, The panels are cut with an oval die and adhered. The little chick is added to an oval and a scalloped oval and added to some linen thread then adhered to the sentiment oval. Each panel is then decorated with some butterflies, eggs and grass, all from the same set.

I can't wait to see what everyone else makes!

Bananas over you!

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a card for the 

Pink and Main Design Team.

Today I used Go Bananas stamp set 

and coordinating dies.

There are just such cute and fun images in the set.

These monkeys are so adorable and very fun to color. 

I used a lot of chevron for this card. I wanted it to have more of a neutral theme, so it can be used for a boy or girl, 

possibly my hubby :)

I die cut a square frame with two squares and added that behind the main panel. The hearts are stamped and die cut from the same set. How cute is that sentiment? 

The last thing I did was add some sequins and some wink of stella and glossy accents.

Thanks for stopping by!

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team Project:

For my card, I wanted the sentiment to be the focal point. I am always sending out encouragement cards, this sketch is perfect for that. I used Faith Medley stamp set by Verve Stamps for the sentiment and cross, stamped in Perfect Plum and Pool Party inks. I focused on purple and light teal so that this card can be sent to anyone. I embossed the background with a Chevron embossing folder. I added some Natural Twine from May Arts ribbon to accent.

Love You Bunches shaker card

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a card for the 

Pink and Main Design Team.

I used the fun new stamp set "Go Bananas" along 

with the coordinating dies.

I decided to make a fun shaker card.

I used some of the banana bunches and hearts from the set inside the shaker, along with some sequins and seed beads.

I stamped the sentiment behind the shaker window and the added heart in the set fits perfectly inside the sentiment. I colored the monkey with copic markers and added some white gel pen accents and Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen. Then die cut him and added him to the window. I also added a few more banana bunches and some Cherry Latte Trendy Twine to the front.

Card Harmony- Crafty Friends

Hi Everyone!! 

Today is the third Monday of February, 

so that means it Card Harmony time with my

bestie, Stacey. This month was my turn to pick. 

I picked Pure Innocent 

Crafty Friends by My Favorite Things.

The other part of the challenge was to make a craft room/space decor project or 3D item.

I decided to make an easel calendar holder. 

I had this idea but could not find a pattern, so I created my own. I used the measurements from a square Easel card. I added chipboard to make it sturdy and stand well. 

I colored the cute crafty girl with copic markers 

and paper pieced her shirt.

The calendar is from Michaels and 

used as a scrapbook embellishments. 

I die cut the circle and label from Spellbinder dies. 

The kraft panel is embossed and layered.

I stamped the sentiment in matching colors 

and black and popped them on the panel. 

Next, I added some purple satin ribbon 

and a two and three looped bow, 

made with the bow maker 

my husband made me a few years ago.

The 5x5 card I made to go with the calendar.

This project was a lot of fun! I hope Stacey just loves it!! 

Thanks you so much for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day!
