Magical Day - Rainbow Clouds - Miss Ink Stamps

I stumbled across this background I made a while ago with the Scene Builder Clouds stencil and decided it was about time to use it!  And of course, the Lovely Unicorns stamp set has the perfect images for these rainbow clouds.

I colored the unicorn's mane and tail in the same colors as the background and chose the same colors but darker for the sentiment and mats.

Thanks for stopping!  I hope you'll come again soon!

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - September 2025 Edition

Hello!  I can hardly believe it's the 25th of September!  Debra and I are sharing the Christmas cards we made this month!

I created a couple cards using a couple great stencils from A Colorful Life Designs!

It was fun to blend a couple colors of ink and then add a little bit of Glitz Glitter Gel on the edges using a piece of cardstock as a simple mask.

I added sentiments from Honey Bee to all four of my cards.

And to this one I added a little pine branch behind the sentiment which also happened to cover up a mistake I made!

I also made a couple quick cards using some paper and ephemera from Not 2 Shabby!

Not 2 Shabby sponsored the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge this month and I couldn't help but make a couple more cards using these adorable Gingerbread People!

I just used that great photo frame from A Jillian Vance Design to hold the cute characters and again used a sentiment from Honey Bee.

Isn't the car just the cutest!?  The theme for this month's CCCC was Cookies and/or Candy so really this pack of ephemera was perfect.

That's me for today!  Be sure to hop on over to Debra's place to see what she created for you for today!  And come back here real soon!

Miss Ink Stamps-All I Need

I've got some more Miss Ink Stamps caffeinated goodness for you today!

I'm using those awesome floral caffeine molecules from the Caffeinated stamps and dies.  I stamped them in Wow Embossing Ink and embossed them in Gold.  Then I colored them in using Zig markers.

For the background, I blended some purples and blues onto a panel and then used the cool beans stencil to add some Glitz Glitter Gel.  I made the backround very subtle so as not to take away from those pretty delicate molecules.

I cut the frame from Oh Happy Day from glitter paper and popped it up over the background and then popped the molecules up and added a sentiment from the caffeinated set.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and please do come again soon!

 

Crafty Elves Countdown to Christmas - March 2024 Edition

Hello!  It's the 25th of the month and that means Christmas!  The Crafty Elves are sharing the Christmas Cards we made this month.  I've been playing with a lot of Newton's Nook this month.  They're sponsoring the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge and today is the last day to play along.  I didn't add any coffee to my cards for today, but you still have time to play along over there with Coffee, Christmas, and Green!

Here's what I made for today:

These adorable Christmas Puppies ... I knew I had to have them when I saw them.  I love the pups and super love the sentiments.

For this one I started with a panel of green cardstock and blended pink through one layer of the stencil set and then added Glitz Glitter Gel through the second.

I am also in love with those inside scallop frames from Stamps of Life!  I popped it up and arranged the image and sentiment inside.

For this one I just ink blended both layers of the plaid stencil with a similar layout for the rest.  It is one of my favorite layouts.

I heat embossed the sentiment for this one onto pink cardstock.

Aren't these pups so cute??

This one I chose a raspberry pink background and added a layer of pink distress oxide over it with one layer of the plaid stencil.

Then the Holiday Foliage stencil with some Glitz Glitter Gel.

Woof-mas... nothing better than punny sentiments!

And I've got one over on the blog at A Jillian Vance Design too!  Hop on over there for the details for this one!

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping!  Now don't forget to head on over to Debra's and Michael's places and see what they've made for you today!

 

Make A Wish - Your Paper Insider

Welcome back!  Today I've got a fun birthday card I made for my dad using some of the fabulous papers from the latest Your Paper Insider Box!

I started with a dark gray cardstock from a prior YPI box and used the layered Alice Background stencil pack with Distress Oxides.  I added some Glitz Glitter Gel with one of the layers.

I cut a circle from the Gold Vellum in the current box from the middle of a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of the vellum and then used the rectangle for the first layer matte. 

I cut that Lawn Fawn Make A Wish die from the beautiful gold and silver glitter paper from the current box.  Finally a few silver stars and clear sequins.  And my dad loved it (although it might have something to do with the cash inside for his next Casino trip...lol)

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!
