Peek-a-boo With a Furry Friend

Today I am over on the Crafty Doodle Chick Blog and I'm having fun!  Who is still giddy over the newest Lawn Fawn release?!  ME!!!! I LOVED so much of it I had a hard time choosing... but today I've gone whimsical and made my inner rainbow loving heart happy by creating this...

Isn't it just too cute?!?!?!  To create my card I used the Say What Christmas Critters Stamp Set, the Really Rainbow Christmas Petite Paper Pack,  and the Reveal Wheel Die Cut Set with the Shooting Star Add-on.  For extra fun I used glitter cardstock and glitter pens.

I started this card by stamping the unicorn, speech bubble and sentiment onto cardstock, trimmed them out and set them to the side.  I then covered the front of my card with patterned paper and used other patterned paper to cut the Reveal Wheel parts from.  I also added a snowy hill for my unicorn to sit on.  To create the changing colored glitter on my reveal wheel I actually cut that circle piece 5 times, one white and one of each colored glitter cardstock.  I then trimmed the glitter paper into four pieces, and adhered the pieces onto the white wheel.

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you pop in the store and check out the new products that are always being added!  Plus grab some of this new Lawn Fawn before it's gone!

Happy Crafting!

Guest Designing on Gerda Steiner

I am so very honored to be Guest Designing here with Gerda Steiner Designs!  I can never tell you enough just how much I LOVE the adorable critter stamps that can be found in the store, and the one I'm working with today (Turtley Great) is no different!

To create this card I started by stamping my turtle and sentiment with Versafine ink onto watercolor cardstock.  Next, I spritzed some colors onto a piece of plastic, I like to keep packaging from stamp sets specifically for this technique. I then laid my cardstock stamped side down onto the ink and smooshed it in.  I would let it dry before smooshing the colors again.  I still wanted my turtle to have some set green so once it was all dry I went over the turtle with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I then adhered my panel onto various strips of patterned paper and finished it with a few glitter enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope I've inspired you to maybe try a new technique or add coloring to your smooshing :).  And don't forget to check out the new sets coming to the store, I already have my eyes on the cute new ghosts!

Nate & Friday Stamp Set CAS-ual Friday Stamps Day 4

Woo hoo!!!  It's the final release day for CAS-ual Friday Stamps, and it's nothing less than fabulous!  And all of the products have been available for Friday, so make sure you hurry and grab any you've fallen in love with before they sell out.  Now onto today's card using Nate & Friday, the cutest Boston Terriers you've seen in stamp form!

To create my card I started by die cutting a peek-a-boo window for them to peek out of my card front.  I then decorated the front with patterned paper, bow and enamel dots.  And since the front of my card asked a question, I had to finish it with an answer on the inside...

hehehe!  LOVE it!  Now make sure you stop by the CAS-ual Friday Stamps Blog for more inspiration and a chance to win a $50 gc to the shop!

Bushy Tailed and In LOVE - CAS-ual Friday Stamps Release Day 3

Have you enjoyed all of the new inspiration and new goodies CAS-ual Friday Stamps has had to offer this month?  It has been an awesome few days and we still have one more to go tomorrow!  Today we are sharing our creations using the new Bushy Tailed Stamp Set and matching die set, and boy is it cute!  I love the sweet images and how you can mix and match the sentiments on the banner.  Take a peek at what I've created...

To create my shaped card I started by diecutting foil red cardstock into a heart shape.  Now in order for this card to stand up it has to lay on it's side, but I like it that way and the cute little raccoon keeps it from look lopsided.  To color my critter in I used various Spectrum Noir Markers before die-cutting him and my banner.  I used a few circles from my stash to ground him and finished the card off with rhinestones...

And remember these cuties are available now in the shop, so use my discount code to save!!!

Oh and head over to the CAS-ual Friday Stamps Blog for more inspiration and a chance to win a $50 gc!!!

Foxy Friend with CAS-ual Friday Stamps Release Day 2

And we are onto Day 2 of the amazing CAS-ual Friday Stamps Release, and again I can't say it enough but I LOVE this release!  Today we are sharing our takes on the Foxy Friend Stamp Set.  It is so beautiful!!!  Take a peek at this gift box that I've created...

Isn't he beautiful?!?!?!  I LOVE all of the details on his fur... you can literally just stamp this image, and not even color it in and it still looks gorgeous!  For my box I used a mix of Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a paintbrush.  I then layered my watercolor panel up with glitter and Crafters Companion Luxury Cardstock, tied a twine bow and ta-da!

This beautiful set, along with the rest of the new release, are available now!  So hurry and grab your favorites before they sell out!  And don't forget my discount code:

I then added a few of my favorite flat backed crystals before stamping my sentiment and layering it with white glitter cardstock.

Turtley Great with Gerda Steiner Designs

I'm so excited to be back on the Gerda Steiner Designs blog sharing a sweet shaker card with all of you that uses the Turtley Great Stamp Set.  I know you have all been introduced to these adorable new guys, and now it's my turn to show you just how fun this set can be...

To create this card I started by diecutting and adding the shaker element to the cardbase.  I then stamped my sentiment along one of the diagonals.  The turtle and snail were stamped and colored on separate cardstock with Spectrum Noir Markers.  I then cut them out and added them to the front of my card.  A few rhinestones later and my card was complete!

Such an easy card to create, and one that will wow the recipient!  Win win!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!
