You are Fabulous

By on August 21, 2016 in Paper Crafting

Yes, I think you’re fabulous. And I also thing card-making is fabulous. Put the two together and you have a whole lot of fabulous-ness!

Today, my card is inspired by the Ellen Hutson August Pin-Sights Challenge

fabulous

I combined watercolored stamping, a beautiful die, glitter paper, and Nuvo drops to create this Fabulous card.

I think I’ll give this technique another try soon!

Thinking of Ewe

By on August 18, 2016 in Paper Crafting

Here’s my last card entry for the MFT Camp Create Bonfire challenge.

It’s a single layer card. These cards take patience, and lots of masking. I now think I might officially be crazy because I cut that fencing out of masking paper in order to get that white effect when I sponged on the distress ink!

I love this stamp set from MFT. It always makes me smile.

Hey, Friend

By on August 16, 2016 in Paper Crafting

This little kitty and bird together are the most unlikely friends…but it works. The kitty has to hang on to the giant balloon in order to say hello to his flying friend.

I used multiple sets for this. By Paper Smooches: Chubby Chums, My Peeps, and Happy Camper (for the friend sentiment).

Go Wild

By on August 14, 2016 in Paper Crafting

I love these stamps by WPlus9, and I was delighted to use them again for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Let’s Go Wild.

lets-go-wild

These cute Wplus9 critters are having a wild party with cupcakes. (That’s about as wild as it gets around here, peeps!)

I used distress inks and a MFT stencil for the background. The grassy die cut from Lawn Fawn, the fence die from Pretty Pink Posh, and the hay and sentiment from the MFT The Whole Herd stamp set. The cupcakes are from the birthday set from Simon Says Stamp.

I love that these guys have lots of cupcakes at their wild party! Lol.

You brighten my cloudy days

By on August 14, 2016 in Paper Crafting

This card is inspired by the Neat & Tangled challenge: Little Tangles: Shakers/Sequins

71-Shakers.Sequins
I thought I was going to do a shaker card, but when it all started coming together, it turned into this:

you-brighten-my-cloudy-days

I used a variety of inks from Simon Says Stamp, matching sequins from  Pretty Pink Posh and the Clouds stamps are from Neat and Tangled! I have always loved those clouds and I thought they would look great in color. 🙂

I added some gray pencil beneath each cloud (to make them pop off the page) and some glitter dots with my Sakura glitter gelly roll pen. The sentiment is heat embossed with Ranger embossing powder. I framed it with a very dark grey cardstock.

Enjoy!
