Happy Monday! Just a quick post today. I love this impression plate from Papertrey Ink but hadn’t used it yet. I colored the butterflies awhile back and thought they’d work well with the background. The tag is from Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags & Accents (another great die set!) and the sentiment is from Lovely Leaves, also Papertrey.
Are you sick of seeing me use this set yet? LOL! Thanks for bearing with me! 
If you’re like me, then you probably have lots of dies. I have old ones, new ones, metal and digital ones, love me some dies. This card uses a retired Bon Bon die from QuicKutz. Yum yum! I almost used the same phrase as my card, “Go To Your Happy Place” but then changed my mind. This sentiment is from Chit Chat at Paper Smooches.
Do you know any golf lovers? This card uses the sentiment from On The Links from PTI and another QuicKutz retired die, Putting Green. Now, if it were up to me, I’d be adding bling somewhere…on the green or flag, but since it’s meant to be a neutral CAS card, I had to leave it be. Ha! Thanks for stopping by!
Yum! I love coffee/tea themed stamps and this mini set by Papertrey is adorable! Ever have those mornings where you roll out of bed and this is what’s on your mind? I treated myself (and my husband) to a venti this morning…hellooo weekend!
I caved and bought some new stamps (shhhhhhh!!!)…I’ll be sharing my Paper Smooches haul soon…stay tuned!
I’ve had this die cut hanging around forever (since last summer?) and originally had it on a mini card. I wasn’t liking how small the mini card was, and so, decided to make a new, regular sized, card with it. Do you ever rip your older stuff apart to make something new?
The stamps (and die) I used are Hanging Out and Baby Button Bits, both by Papertrey Ink. Seems funny to me that it would take me hours to essentially put this together, but in the end, I liked how this looked, better than my previous attempts. Thanks for stopping by!
Yay! I was able to play the Sketch Challenge over at SCS. I don’t get to play often, but when I do, I have fun with it.
I used Stars for Bunny from ADFD’s April Kit. This little guy was watercolored with Distress inks. What a fun sketch challenge and one that really made me think! DP is SU & K&Co and the tag and sentiment are from Tiny Tags (PTI). Thanks for stopping by!
It’s Wednesday and the weekend will be here soon! This was a quick little card to put together…as long as you don’t count the sewing machine being difficult! Ha! This card uses Up, Up & Away , Up, Up & Away Mini Sentiments, and PTI’s cloud dies. I think the sentiments in these two sets are so versatile and fun…perfect for cards for those loved ones who are far away.
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
This beauty is called, Green Lady, and is by A Day For Daisies. I have to be honest and say that this isn’t what I envisioned when I started this card. I debated whether I should post this card as I ended up giving it another go a few days later. Here’s what I came up with the second time.
The close up is to show the layers in better detail. I used foam squares to pop up the image. The background stamp is a sympathy set by Papertrey Ink and was embossed with white embossing powder. DP is retired and from Stampin’ Up. Both images were colored with Copics and have Copic Spica pens to accent the eyes and lips. Thanks for stopping by!
I found this cute little envelope box in the Silhouette Online store. The file is called 3D Envelope Box Landscape. It measures @ 3×4 inches and is so fun to play with! I love anything mini and have made more mini card sets than I should probably admit. I didn’t make many cards for the box as I was just playing around with it. However, the size is great for writing a personal note, without having to write a book.
The butterfly is from Cheery Lynn Designs, the hot air balloon is from Up Up & Away (PTI), the heart is a Quickutz die, and the feather is also from the Silhouette Online store, and is a file called Feather Set. I will making gift sets with this envelope box!
I wanted something sturdy for the box and used 110lb Kraft card stock (from PTI). The Cameo cut it beautifully. I set my blade to 5 and had no trouble cutting it. Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve been going through some of my stamps and apparently, have many that are neglected. Now how did that happen? This card was made with Year of Flowers Sweet Peas (Papertrey) and Wonderful Wings (Stampin’ Up). Papertrey’s Rustic White card stock has always been one of my favorites as a card base and I love it with Crumb Cake ink (SU). Background was stamped with Crumb Cake and the butterfly was colored with Copics.
Here’s another stamp I’ve had sitting in my collection for several years. It’s by Serendipity Stamps and has beautiful detail. If you’re not familiar with them, they have a gorgeous selection of stamps and fast shipping. I used Rustic White as the card base and added silk ribbon to finish the card. Thanks for stopping by!
Have you all seen the digi stamps at Tiddly Inks? While browsing their site the other day, I came across one of their newer stamp lines, Wryn and Friends. Talk about cute! I bought Grow a Little Love to give it a try. These are the two cards I made using this stamp. I printed the images with an HP Laser printer and unlike my inkjet, the Copics didn’t smear the ink, yay! I will be going back for more…these were fun to play with! The heart die and stamp are from PTI, Tiny Tags.
Close up of Stickles on shoe strap and hair barrette. The background stamp is a Scrapblock from CHF. The rose (Spellbinders) was airbrushed with Copics to match. Thanks for stopping by!
I enjoy being creative, whether in the kitchen, out with my camera, or in my craft room. Cozy on up and take a look around. I appreciate each and every visit, thanks for stopping by!
