Celebrate

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good day. It is nice and sunny here at my house. I want to share a birthday card I made using House Mouse stamps. I know no better way to be in the kitchen than baking a birthday cake! I will be doing that soon as my husband's birthday is not far away.

This is a Z fold card. Above is the card folded and below is the card opened.

On the bottle of ink on the front of the card I colored with copics and used Stickles Sprinkled Sugar glitter glue over the top. On the cake's icing on the inside of the card, I used Copper Flame embossing powder by Sparkle N Sprinkle.

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

Hello Friend

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good day. I want to show you a tag I made. I hardly ever use any word dies so it was fun to use one on this tag. The blue background was made by spritzing the white card stock with water and spraying a light blue spray over it. After it dried I splattered some Faded Jeans Distress ink over it. The flowers are water colored using Distress markers and a water pen.  I faux stitched around the blue piece using a dark brown marker. I stamped using a script stamp on the kraft paper tag.

I added a metal butterfly charm and tore the bottom of the blue piece to give interest. I then sponged around the edges using Faded Jeans Distress ink.

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

Berry Delicious

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. I want to show you a card I made with the Berry Sundae stamp set 688 from Sparkle N Sprinkle. I just love this set. I love ice cream, so this is right down my alley! I used Sparkle embossing powder EP107 on the stripes on the patterned paper. Winter Berry embossing powder EP411 was used on the raspberries. White Liquid Applique was used for the whipped cream. Sparkling Snow glitter G1003 was sprinkled over the "ice cream."

I used an embossing folder for the background behind the ice cream bowl, cut out a window using a die cut and popped up the piece over the bowl. Diamond Glaze was used on the bowl to make it look like glass. Corner dies were used to dress up the corners of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your day is as yummy as ice cream!

Top Tip Tuesday:  Rubber Stamps Only (TIP)  --  If you want glitter paper and do not have any, use a Versamarker to color in the places where you want sparkle, like I did on the stripes. Add clear sparkle embossing powder and heat set. Now you have glitter paper!

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a good day. I want to share the tag I made that was inspired by Tim Holtz's July tag. He used a sea theme and I decided it was time for me to get out some of my sea crafting supplies and work with them too! You can see Tim's demo here. I enjoyed embossing the piece of plastic to place over the Distress ink background for a different look.

I added sand and small seashell Mudd Puddles to the bottom. The large seashells are dies that I added Clear Rock Candy Distress glitter to. The clam shell was punched and given to me by my good friend. I love the patterned paper it was punched from!

I used Diamond Glaze on the angel fish. As usual I had a fun time making this tag. Tim always gives much inspiration each month! 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
