you are terrific Note Card

Hi everyone! Happy Weekend, Happy Sunday, Happy Easter! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Scrap Challenge Blog and I’m stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTSCB #108 – April Showers Bring May Flowers! We are being sponsored this month by the amazing CAS-ual Fridays Stamps so come on over and play with us for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate! I created a fun note card featuring fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Pretty Posies stamp set! I sure do love note cards as they are so versatile.

I stamped all the flowers and leaves on different patterned papers to coordinate with the colors in my handmade background. I created the background by swiping four distress oxide inks vertically and horizontally on watercolor paper, and spritzing with a little water. Once dry, I cut with a Dotted Ovals die. Then I placed all the flowers and leaves along the left side and stamped the sentiment.

I used some Glossy Accents on the centers of the flowers and put a few dots on the background (which is kind of hard to see in these photos). I left the layered panel on the inside blank to write a custom message.

With Deepest Sympathy

Hello, my crafty peeps! Can you believe it’s the first of April already?! It’s time for another fun challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m proud to share my DT inspiration for LTCCB #21 – April Anything Goes! I created a pretty sympathy card in a yellow and purple color combo. Sympathy cards are not easy to create but we always need to have a few in our stash.

2017_07280008a

Patterned paper and stamps are from Dare 2B Artzy. Seam binding ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Image colored with Spectrum Noir markers. I added several loops of white quilting thread behind the bow for a little interest, along with a few tiny clear rhinestones.

I kept the inside fairly simple with just a stamped image on a panel layered on purple cardstock.

Berta’s Ride

Hi everyone! A very Happy Hump Day to you! The closing date on our house was postponed so we’re looking forward to moving the first weekend in April! I have a fun post for you today – a project created with Simply Crafty SVGs free Treatmobile cut file. As soon as Sandy added this cut file to the store, I had to have it. My sister, Roberta, had a 1964 VW Beetle back in the day that she affectionately called Herbie. She passed away in 1988 and I’ve never forgotten all the fun we had in that car. Our road trips were amazing. I could go on and on as I reminisce!

I used white cardstock for the car base, and medium and dark shades of purple cardstock for the car parts. I used a sweet floral patterned paper for the doors.

I just can’t get over the cuteness overload! Loving how this turned out and I can’t wait to gift it! ;)

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum and Basic Black cardstock; Pebbles Basics 6×6 paper pad
Dies/Punches: Simply Crafty SVGs free Treatmobile cut file

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing this awesome little project I created with the free cut file from Simply Crafty SVGs! Pop on over and grab it, and while you’re there, be sure to check out all the other fun designs! You’ll leave there a happy camper, I’m sure!

Come on over and play!

2018_0226007a

I chose the adorable Flower Cart Avery digi to create my double flap fancy fold birthday card! OMG, I’m so smitten… I L-O-V-E this image! Isn’t she just the cutest?!

2018_0226005a

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers to coordinate as best I could with the colors in the paper and adhered it to the front flap, and stamped a birthday sentiment in black ink.

2018_0226006a

I stamped another sentiment inside the front flap…

2018_0226008a

…and then a flower image and another sentiment on the inside flap. Even though there is a ribbon closure, I added a velcro circle to keep the front flap closed. I love how this turned out and see a few more in my future, lol!

Dream ATC

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Can you believe we’re headed into the middle of March?! The Blank Page Muse ATC challenge, is live today and I’m stoked to share my Inspiration Team project! I created my very first ATC… believe it or not… not sure why I haven’t created any yet because they are so simple and so fun! Just like a mini card front with no inside work to be done, lol! I used stamps from Classic Spark Rubber Stamp Set (diamond background) and Memories Art Rubber Stamp Sheet (butterfly) and Art Journal Words, Swirls and Curves (Dream word).

Green and blue is one of my favorite color combos. I started by dropping Sailboat Blue, Aqua, Botanical and Citrus alcohol ink along with blending solution, on a piece of Yupo paper. I repeated the process until I got the look I wanted and let it dry.

I trimmed the paper and stamped the diamond background from the Classic Spark Rubber Stamp Set in Black StazOn ink. This stamp is huge and amazing! :)

I stamped the sentiment and the butterfly in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored the butterfly with Spectrum Noir markers.

I cut the sentiment with a stitched oval die and inked the edges, and then fussy cut the butterfly and added clear sparkle overlay marker. I arranged the sentiment and butterfly, along with white pearls and a pretty fabric flower to complete the ATC. Love how this turned out!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Hi everyone! Happy Hump Day! I’ve popped in today with a fun DT inspiration project for Simply Crafty SVGs using the Side by Side Box Card cut file and the shamrock from the Pot O Gold Treat Box cut file. OMG, you’da thought I was a giant kid putting this together, lol! What fun!

2018_02110001a

I used 120# kraft cardstock for the card base which makes the card pretty stable. I used a couple shades of green cardstock for the vehicle along with some ‘manly’ patterned paper that I lightly inked. I used an extra print and cut sentiment (included in the cut file) that I punched with a circle punch.

2018_02110002a

I cut several shamrocks (from the Pot O Gold Treat Box cut file) and attached them to strips of clear window sheet to load up the back of the vehicle! :D

And one final shot showing the collapsed and ready-to-mail card. So cool! ;)

Hi everyone! I’m happy to share that I’m once again guesting for Scrapping4fun Challenges! One of my art journal spreads was a Featured Creation a few weeks back, so here I am, lol! I’m thrilled to share my GD inspiration project for Challenge #110 – Masculine/Boys. Come play with us! I created a super cute masculine card that could easily be used for a birthday or for Father’s Day, using the Side Step Tool Box Card cut file from the Silhouette store. How flippin’ cute is this?!

2018_02150001a

The base was cut from red, the drawers from red and silver, the peg board from dark brown and the tools from yellow and silver cardstock. And I added a couple flat head screw brads. Oh, what fun!

One final shot showing the step card construction. I’m so smitten with this cut file!

sew artsy

Hello, my crafty friends! I’m posting our new “Anything Goes” challenge for March on the a2z Scrapbooking blog this morning and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project, a very cool note card I created with the Hero Arts Make Your Own Digital Kit Sewing Fashion! I’m totally in love with this digital kit! I’ve been somewhat of a seamstress since the age of about 9 when my sister, Syd, taught me to sew my own clothes on Mom’s treadle-turned-electric sewing machine. THAT sure gives my age away, lol!

Leslie

Super simple card. I printed the scissors background in blue on the ivory cardstock and overlayed the clothes mannequin along with the sentiment and pins. I cut the panel to size and tool distressed the edges. I printed an additional mannequin which I fussy cut and popped up on 3-D foam pads. I added Morning Dew Crystal Drops to the ‘buttons’ on the mannequin and Midnight Blue Crystal Drops to the background.

2018_02100012a

Here’s one more angled shot to you can see the dimension. I layered an ivory panel on navy cardstock for the inside which I left blank for a custom message. Love how this turned out, and it would be super fun to mass produce these for a gift! ;)

Relax… unwind note cards (set of 8 )

Hi everyone! You know what happens on the 1st… I have a gazillion posts for you! This month’s challenge over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog is live this morning and I’m happy to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #20 – March Anything Goes! I created a fun set of eight note cards, all featuring a pair of flip flops in the sand. I stamped four in teal ink and four in green ink, and embellished each with a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

2017_07280014a 2017_07280015a

These were so easy and fun. I used Stampin’ Up premade Crumb Cake Note Cards and Envelopes, so all I needed to do was stamp the flip flops on white cardstock and cut them with the coordinating die, and stamp the sentiment on the front. The stamps and inks are from Dare 2B Artzy. I created a sand line with a Paper Smooches Stitched Border die. I left the insides blank as they are note cards.

One more view with the envelopes which feature a stamped pair of flip flops in matching ink. :)
