St. Paddy's Day

Image
  Hello Friends! Here we are at another month. Can you believe it? Its February 2021! I am so ready for spring and warm weather. Here in Florida we have had cold, grey, rainy weather for months now. Not a typical warm winter at all. So, when I saw the Taylored Expressions releases for February, I was so excited!  Today's post is all about St Patrick's Day, green, shamrocks, luck and rainbows. All things that I love. Let's dig in to the details of this card. The background was created by ink blending 3 different green inks onto a green card base. By using different tones of the same color, it creates a nice depth to a simple card. The diecuts were layered with foam adhesive and twine was added to embellish.  What is St Patrick's Day without a rainbow? I knew I wanted to create a subtle rainbow on one of my cards. It took me a little bit of playing around with this stamp and stencil combo but I figured it out. I would use the stencil a little differently to get more sham...

You Did It!

  Hello friends! This is Day 2 of the Technique Tuesday release for May. The stamp set I am sneak peeking today, is called Congrats Grad .   Since this is the time college and high school students are graduating, this is the perfect set to mass produce congratulations cards.  It has bold sentiments and easy to color, lined images.  Or, they can be stamped without being colored in. For this card, I stamped everything in a permanent black ink, then colored in the images with water colors.  Once the panel was dry, I die cut the paper using a square diecut.  The diecut was adhered to the card front using foam adhesive, then embellished with twine and nuvo drops. Head on over to the Technique Tuesday blog to see the reveal of this stamp set!

Lawn Fawn: Happy Harvest

Image
Hello there! I know lots of you out there are sending your children off to school this week (and last), well in the south at least.  That means fall is right around the corner!  Living in Florida means summer kind of drags out to October, so fall here is just a few weeks.  But it truly is fantastic!  Warm days, cooler nights and no humidity. Anyhow, fall means fall projects.  Like Halloween, back to school, Thanksgiving, celebrating the harvest! Lawn Fawn is in the middle of August Inspiration Week, and everything has been fall themed.  Today is no different, as I am showcasing a stamp/die set called Happy Harvest.  Again don't hate me, I'm seriously addicted to this pillow box die, but I made a few pillow boxes using the Happy Harvest stamp set. Make sure you head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog , to see some fabulous projects by the design team, and for a chance to win this set!! There are so many fun images in this set.  I couldn't d...
