Wrap All My Arms Around You

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Today I am sharing a card using the Seas The Day stamp set!  

I placed a piece of Slate Paper on a corresponding cardstock color and added it to my card base.  I then added a piece of Pretty Petals Paper for the plaid design!

I stamped the 'I want to warp ALL my arms around You' sentiment from the Seas The Day stamp set on a piece of white cardstock, adhered it to the same bluish cardstock I used earlier behind the slate paper and added above the plaid pattern.

I love how these papers work so nicely today!!
I stamped the adorable octopus and colored with my Copics!  I then die cut the cutie out and adhere to my card base to the left of the sentiment.

I finished off the card by adding a die cut heart from a piece of Pretty n' Pink Paper, just behind a button and twine bow. And lastly added the enamel dot to the upper right!

Have a beautiful day!

MCT Manly Monday


Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!


I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...

Manly Monday

Masculine cards can always be a little hard to create.  Which is why I enjoy having this theme once in awhile, since it gets me to create some masculine cards!!

I'm lacking on masculine birthday cards, so I took the time to create this fun birthday card:
I really like how it turned out!!  So much fun!!  

I used the Scallop Stitched Square Dies to create the fun layered squares.  I love this die set, I use it a lot!!  I used the 3 Star Stitched Dies to create my fun star shaker window!!

The 'Happy Birthday to you.' sentiment is from the Time to Celebrate stamp set!

Have a lovely day!

Favorite PEEP


Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!


I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...

I Need A Favor

I always enjoy this theme!  MCT has so many fun dies that make creating favors so quick and easy!

For my project today I decided to grab the fun Pretty Treat Topper to create this package:
My kiddos love Peeps!  So I always like to create some cute little packages with Peeps in for them!!

I used the Basket Tag Sentiments set for the 'Happy Easter to my favorite PEEP' sentiment!  Perfect for a Peep filled package!!:)

I also used the adorable Peeking Bunny Die for the die cut 'peep'!  I love how this sweet bunny's head reminds me of a peep!  So I thought it would be the perfect addition to my package!!

Yum!!

Today and Always


Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I used the Floral Vine (STN-024) stencil to ink the top and bottom of my white cardstock layer.  I love the elegance it gives!
I used the Giant Layered Thinking of You (10597) die for my main sentiment!  And then stamped the 'today and always' sentiment from the Giant Thinking of You (CL-123) stamp set!

I love all the sentiments you can create from the stamp set!!

I really like how this card turned out!  It's so elegant!  A perfect sympathy card!  But always a great just because or even a wedding card!!

MCT 89th Edition New Release


Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

Welcome to the 89th Edition New Release from My Creative Time!!
What a fun week it has been sneak peeking all the lovely new products!


Today I am once again featuring the AWESOME new Amazing Things stamp and die set!
 I LOVE this new set!

From the beautiful sentiments to the gorgeous butterfly dies!  This set has won my heart over again and again!!

Here is the pretty card I created for today's release:
I used the Scalloped Square Square Die set to die cut my white square.  I then used the largest butterfly die from the new Amazing Things set to create my shaker window.  I added just some clear sequins as I wanted to add the streip rainbow paper behind.

I then die cut the smaller full butterfly from a piece of vellum, fussy cut the antennas and bottom off so that I would just have the wings.  I adhered to my window and then added some rhinestones!!
Before adding to my card base, I stamped the lovely 'Hello Beautiful' sentiment to the bottom right of my card base.  I also added another piece of rainbow striped paper this one slightly different with a black shimmery cardstock layer, behind where my window would go.  I like the two different rainbow stripes!  

I really like how this card turned out!

I absolutely LOVE how the center pieces of the wings can be folded up to give more dimension! 

I hope you can see why this set is so AMAZING!!

I can't wait to make another card with it!!

Rain Shaker Card

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

I am beyond excited to share this card with you!!

So recently I had a night where I just couldn't sleep.  Sometimes if I grab my phone and check Instagram or my E-mail I can kind of get myself to doze back off.  Well one night recently that did not happen as I actually made myself more awake and just wanted to craft!  I find an Instagram friend who shared a card using a technique called 'Rain Shaker'!  OMG....it was amazing!!  I had to look into how to make them!!  So I found myself next searching Youtube for a tutorial!  LOL. (Thankfully my hubby can sleep through anything!)  

By the time I found out how to make them, I could not turn of my head!  It was spinning of ideas!  All I could think of was creating one using the lovely April Showers stamp set!!

Here is my card:
I used Distress Oxide Inks to create the blue sky in the background.  I also used some of my Goosebumps to add rain droplets!  I love the texture it gives!!

Here you can see my seed beads on the string:
So much fun!!  I couldn't stop playing with this card when I was done creating it!!

I've never really done a video or even have the right equipment, but I did use my phone to take a video of this card in action, so you could see for yourself why I think it is so fun. 

You can check it out here!!


Don't laugh!!  I hope you enjoy seeing it in action!!

I love it!!
