I Need to Quit! - Rubbernecker Stamps


Welcome back!  I'm sharing with you a fun shaker to send to anyone just because!  With a red, white and blue color scheme it's perfect for summertime giving!


I started by die cutting the shaker cover using the Nested Scallop with Half Holes largest rectangle and the Star Bursts/Fireworks dies together by taping the fireworks in place where I wanted them and running them through my Gemini.  Then I flipped it over and added a piece of acetate over the cutout fireworks and then foam tape around the entire panel.  I used the foam tape to block off the area where the sequins would go so they wouldn't just fall to the bottom of the shaker and then some additional foam tape for support on the rest of the shaker.


I eyeballed where the sequins would go and placed them onto my blue base and popped the top over them!


I cut the margarita glass and contents from Copic friendly paper and colored the pieces before gluing them together.


I colored my margarita slush in a red, white and blue and then added some sparkles using red and blue gel pen and just dotted it on and then some Wink of Stella for the white center.  I colored the straw in stripes and added gel to that also.  I popped the glass up onto my base.


Finally, I stamped my sentiment onto some white cardstock using Serene Color Burst Ink and then centered it with a banner die and cut it out and added it to the card.


Finally a few more sequins as if they escaped from my shaker and I was done!  I'd drink that drink!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope you come again soon!

Cutting Cafe Inspiration - Anything Goes!


Welcome to some Cutting Cafe inspiration!  Regina has given us a Free For All this time around and we could use whatever files we wanted... I decided it had been a while since I used this Ready for the 4th of July Elisha Jean & Friends set and since we are nearing the holiday, I thought it was about time!


She is such a cutie!   And the Doodlebug papers I used were perfect!  I die cut the little hearts on her shirt and on the sentiment from one of the design papers in the pad.  I added gold polka dots on her bow and gold gel pen to the stars on the bow and her shoes.


This set comes with some adorable sentiments... I couldn't help but use this one!  And that silver star was just sitting around in my stash waiting to go on this card.


That's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the Cutting Cafe Blog to see what everyone has created for you.  Comment there for a chance to win three files of your choice and then hop around and check out all of my teamies makes!

Thanks for stopping!

From A Simple Spark-Polka Dot Orchard


If you know me, you know one of my very favorite things about digital images is that you can foil them!  As soon as I saw the star background from the Polka Dot Orchard America My Hero set I knew I had to foil it!  I printed it on my laser, die cut it using the Rubbernecker Nested Deckle Rectangle Dies, foiled it with my Minc and some Gina K Silver Sequins Foil, ink distressed it and splattered it with some glittered watercolors... yum!


And the sentiments on this set... so many awesome ones... I printed a few leaving room on the sheet for die cutting.  I decided I didn't want to cover too much of my background up so I chose a smaller one and cut it using this MFT Label Die that I purchased on vacation at Buffalo Stamps and Stuff... one of my favorite places when I am in the area!  I foiled that one with some Radiant Red Foil from Gina K and popped it up so I could tuck some of these awesome stars I cut in silver, red, blue and white underneath using the Whimsy Stamps Upon A Star Die that I got at another one of my fave places, The Paper Collage in Peoria, AZ.


I just love the contrast of the bright shiny foil and the distressed ink blended background... 


Hope you'll take a look at this America My Hero set from PDO...it's on sale through sometime this evening along with a whole bunch of other digital sets in the shop! It's fantastic for some beautiful Patriotic creations or even just for an inspirational card or thank you for anyone!  I'll be sharing another card with this set this month that's a little different...come back soon!

I'm playing along over at DL Art June Linky Challenge... it's Anything Goes!  You should check it out!
