Just Flyin' By

Hello! Today I am showing you a card that I made using the Fashion Warbler stamp from Just For Fun Stamps and a flower stencil. This is my favorite bird stamp. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love birds!

For the background I used a stencil that had several flowers on it and I sponged over the stencil using purple, yellow and orange ink. I then layed other design stencils over the top of each flower and sponged with a darker color of ink to give the flowers more interest.

I stamped the bird, colored it with alcohol markers, fussy cut it and pop dotted it to the card. The saying is from the Sentiments 3 unmounted sheet.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope your day is great!

Patterned Paper #10

Hi! I hope you are enjoying your day! I am showing another way to use up those scrap papers we all have lying around. Today I made a birthday cake using my scraps.

I used a corner rounder to round the edges of the papers. The flames on the candles were diamonds cut from the yellow patterned paper that I used for the top layer of the cake. The cat stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle was stamped, colored with alcohol markers, fussy cut and added to the card. I made a banner from blue card stock and stamped the saying from Penny Black.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Birthday Shaker Card

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you are enjoying this month of May. May is always a nice month here. After May is gets really hot and humid here in the South! Today I want to share a fun shaker card I made with Just For Fun stamps. I made this shaker card flatter in order for it to go through the mail. The sequins still move around well inside.

For the background I used Color Bursts and spritzed them with water. Next I placed sequins on the background and adhered a piece of acetate over them, just gluing around the edges. I cut the blue frame using the Gina Marie Stitched Regtangle die and adhered that over the acetate. I colored the Stamptangle Seahorse using Zig markers, fussy cut it and adhered it to the front of the card. I made a banner and stamped the saying on it and sponged some black ink around it. The saying is from the Sentiments 1 unmounted sheet.

I hope that you will join in this month's challenge. The theme is -- celebrate the women in your life!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Patterned Paper #9

I am back again showing another way to use your patterned paper scraps. A few months ago at the Stamping Divas (local stamp club) we made some cards using the paper piecing technique. I have always loved the look of this technique and I was glad to revisit it again. This is the card that I made in that class. The image stamps are from Heartfelt Creations and the saying is from Stampendous.

I hope tht you will try this technique and see all the fun looks you can get from it.

Have a great day!

Birthday Cat

Hi and welcome to my blog! I want to show you a card I made using the Penny Black Critter Party stamp set. Isn't this kitty cute?

I made the background by using a strip of rubber on a block and stamped it with Distress Oxide inks. The kitty and saying were stamped over the background and I used a white gel pen to color in the butterflies and flowers. Enamel dots and a bow were added for embellishment.

Thanks so much for stoppng by. I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Just For Fun May Challenge

Hi and welcome to my blog. It is time for another challenge at Just For Fun Stamps! The challenge this month is - celebrate the women in your life, with at least three layers.

My mom, mother-in-law and a close aunt are all with the Lord now. I miss them so much. When I saw this stamp I knew I wanted to use it to celebrate all of the wonderful friends in my life. I am so blessed! Thank you dear friends for all that you add to my life!

I made the background of this card by sponging on Distress inks. I then used a flower stencil to sponge white ink through it to make a bokeh effect. I stamped the image with black ink and added sequins for sparkle. I layered the stamped background on black card stock and then adhered that to the white card base.

I hope that you will join in our new challenge and help celebrate the women in your life. We would love to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Warm Wishes

Hi and welcome to my blog! It is warming up nicely here in South Carolina and it makes me think of Charleston and the beach! My son lives in Charleston so we are able to visit the beach quite often. Also Hubby loves to deep sea fish and has recently caught many. Yum!

I had fun making this card. I used the Tri Circle frame from Just For Fun Stamps and used the technique of paper piecing with it. I always love the look of this technique.
The playful dolphins were stamped on the large circle and colored with alcohol markers. The saying is from the Sentiments 2 unmounted sheet.

You can check out all the fun beach stamps at Just For Fun, here.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you are having a nice day!
