AdornIt Wreath - Be A Flamingo

Happy Saturday!  I have a bright and cheerful wreath I've created this past week with some fun AdornIt Patterned Paper...

Hehehe!  Don't you want a group of flamingos on your front door?!  I just love the cute sentiments in the Flamingo Fever Paper Collection and had to use one in the center of my wreath.  I then used scissors to fussy cut my pineapples and flamingos.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!

ADORNit! Take 3

And I'm back!  I have one last card to share that I've used the ADORNit! Hello Friend Mini Coloring Book, The Ton Stamps: Sending Peonies Stamp Set, and my Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils...

Out of the three cards I've shared today, I have to say that this one is my favorite.  I think it is because of the brighter and more tropical colors that I've used, and I really love the touch of yellow on the leaves.  For added dimension I went over some areas with a black gel pen, a white gel pen, and a gold.  I will definitely be keeping this color combo in mind for future floral projects!

I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Summer Sunshine Challenge 

Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing my creations today!  Here is a final look at all three of the cards I've shared here on my blog and I hope I've inspired you to get those mini coloring books out and make your own clean and simple card designs!

Happy Crafting!

ADORNit! Mini Take #2

Hello, hello!  I'm back on this beautiful Friday to share my second card using the mix of the ADORNit Mini Coloring Book: Hello Friend, Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils, and The Ton Stamps.

 Did I mention how much I love how well my Gamsol works on this paper.  I would assume it's because of the paper being watercolor, so it helps the color to blend and holds the Gamsol better than regular cardstock would.

I also added some fun shine on this card by going over it with my Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle Pen.  I LOVE the shine it adds in real life.

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you'll join me one last time today to see a final card created with these 3 products.

Happy Crafting!

ADORNit! + Spectrum Noir = Color Happiness!

Hi!  Today I will be popping in several times sharing some cards that I've created with my ADORNit Mini Coloring Book and my Spectrum Noir ColorBlend Pencils.  These two work perfectly together, and here is my first card that easily came together...

 To create this card I chose a page out of the Hello Friend Mini Coloring Book by ADORNit!.  I then colored it in with my Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils.  Next, I used a stamp set called Sending Peonies by The Ton to add my sentiments.  As I wanted the coloring to be the main focus of my card I used a simple silver foiled cardstock to mat it before adhering it to a cardbase.

I added a few sequins to finish it off!  Thanks so much for popping in and I'll be back with a few more quick and easy ADORNit! based cards :).

Happy Crafting!

Fourth of July Decor with ADORNit!

As time is just flying by I figured I might as well try to be a little ahead of the game.  Every year I wish I had a little more 4th of July decor, but the holiday seems to always sneak up on me and catch me by surprise and without any new decor.  But not this year folks!  I've already created a cute sign that I can't wait to hang up!  With a mix of an ADORNit Bare Wood Plaque, one of their Watercolor Coloring Book Minis, paint, and glitter I was good to go...

Isn't it just so fun?!  I love how quickly I was able to put this together.  To create this decor piece I painted the whole front of the plaque with white paint.  Once this was dry I used washi tape to mask off some stripes.  I then went over the stripes with red paint and left this to dry.  While this was drying I began watercoloring the sweet July Calendar Girl page.  Next, I went over the plaque with some glitter and a star stencil.  The edges were painted with blue, and once again set off to the side to dry.  After everything was set I was able to glue on a ribbon for hanging and viola!

I hope I've inspired you a little with what you can do with a blank canvas!

Watercoloring Pages with ADORNit

Hello, hello!  I'm popping in today with a  sweet little thank you card that easily came together thanks to my ADORNit Watercoloring Page and patterned paper...

For this card I specifically used the ADORNit Hello Friend Mini Art Play Book.  To color this image I used my Zig Clean Color Markers and a Clean Waterbrush.  I then layered this panel with various patterned papers.  I also added some sequins and Nuvo Drops to finish my card off.

And guess what else?  Now that these little paper pads are available on Amazon I have a coupon code you can use that gets you a Buy 2 Get 1 Free!!! YAY!

Teacher Door Plaque with ADORNit Products

Hello!  It's Friday, and schools are ending all over the United States for some much needed Summer Vacation Time.  For me it just means more work, haha!  But I love every minute (ok minus the ones where they are arguing, but all of the other ones :) ).  And with the end of the year approaching I like to make the teachers we've had this past year a little something special.  I have always wanted to make a little sign for one of the teachers and this year I hopped to it as I had the perfect materials to work with from ADORNit.  Check it out...

To create this plaque I started by painting the plaque found in the Carolee's Follow Your Arrow Wood Word Art Play Kit red and then going over it with a star stencil and glitter embossing paste.  While this was drying I watercolored the center Teacher panel from the ADORNit Art Play Paintables: Wish On Stars Paper.  I then added some number and letter sticks and finished the top off with some matching ribbon.  

I can't wait for my kids to give these out!  Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Watercoloring With ADORNit and Zig Clean Color

It's Saturday, woot woot!  And I have a bright and happy card to share that I've created with a mix of ADORNit products as well as Zig! Clean Color Markers...

This panel is part of the Think Happy Thoughts Watercolor Book.  I LOVE these little watercoloring books as they are easy to take on the go, they can be used for lots of various projects (think framing, card making, even for pocket pages!), and the images/sentiments are awesome!  I wanted an image that really popped so I used my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and a water brush.

I hope you have an amazing day and Happy Crafting!

ADORNit Flamingo Layout

Hi!  I'm just popping in this Monday with a layout I've created with some of the newer ADORNit papers!  All of these papers are available at Scrapbook.com

This is a pretty easy layout.  Most of it came together just by playing with a few already cut pieces and layering them together.  I added my own wood embellishments and sequins and let the paper do the rest!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Watercolor Coloring Books Make For Easy Cards!

Hi!  Today I'm popping in to share a fun and totally chic flamingo that I've watercolored from my ADORNit Art Play Coloring Book called Fancy Flamingo...

I just love how easy this was to put together on a cardbase.  I also love that the coloring books by ADORNit are on watercolor paper making it super easy to color and add a little water to watch the colors spread.  I've also used the super cute Birds of a Feather Patterned paper by ADORNit... this collection is so fun and screams summer!
Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Simple Colored Binder Divider

Hi!  Today I am popping in to share this sweet and super simple Monthly Binder Divider using some amazing ADORNit products including the Calendar Girls Art Play Coloring Book and Patterned Papers from the Blender Basics Collection...

Of course this cutie is being stored in my Calendar Girls Planner... LOVE IT!

This panel was colored with basic colored pencils.  While these Coloring book pages are created on Watercolor Paper, it doesn't mean you can't use other mediums.  I think the colored pencils give it almost a classic children's book look.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
