Circus Themed Birthday Card

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share a card I made using Lawn Fawn's "Wild for You" stamp set.  These animals are SO STINKIN' CUTE!  

Here is my card...



I created the background using distress inks and striped stencil from Heidi Swapp's mixed media stencil set.  I stamped the images onto neenah white cardstock and colored them in using copic markers.  The stamped images and sentiment ("Scripty Sayings") are from Lawn Fawn.

20 Years of Harry Potter

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share a card I made that was inspired by 20 years of Harry Potter!  I can't believe it's been that long since Harry and his friends were introduced to us.  

The Sweet Stamp Shop has the cutest stamp sets and I fell in love with this one when it first came out. 

Here is my card...



I created the purple and black background on the right flap, by stamping/embossing a star stamp and then using the smooshing technique using distress inks.   I also used yellow patterned paper on the left flap. The cute stamped images and sentiment is from the Sweet Stamp Shop, and were colored in using my zig color brush markers.

Happy National Pink Day!

Hi Everyone!

Happy National Pink Day!  As most of you know, it's my favorite color.  Love it and all of the different shades it comes in.  Had to share this card with you today, as it's fitting.




I used a digi stamp from Stamp-N-Doodle (Lynne Crosskill's) 'Summer Pippa'Stamp. I printed this one out atl east 4 years ago, and found it while I was organizing.

I used copics to color her in, and used some colored cardstock and patterned paper for the layering.  

"PINK is my signature color."

Thanks for stopping by!

"National Selfie Day"

Hi Everyone!

So happy to be back.  I haven't been actively posting as I've been taking time to organize my crafts.  I unfortunately don't get to spend a lot of time at the craft table, so my time is divided between organizing and crafting.  

Getting organized and pre-planning a bit has helped me out a lot!   I plan out my project before I get to the table.  Once there, it's all about pulling out the right items instead of having to search for them through piles, which I did for a long time.   

I've been organizing my stamps, stencils, and embossing folders, swatches for my copics, zigs, and inks, and trying to find systems that work for my other craft stuff.  Not completely organized, but getting there.  

I created this card last week and was able to post to Instagram yesterday for "National Selfie Day."  I'm waiting for a couple of items to arrive for a small giveaway.  Will post to my Instagram soon, so do stop by!   

Here is my card...



I created the background using distress inks and a stencil from MFT.  The stamped image is from Love Cynthia, and was colored in using copics.  The "love" sentiment die is from MFT.  I topped off the card with Nuvo drops.
