Hello friends!  Another day and another card to share.  To see the full reveal of this stamp set, head on over to the Technique Tuesday blog. I kind of had in my mind how I wanted to use this die and stamp set, thats always fantastic and a sign of a great product.  I started by adding color to watercolor paper, using pink, red, purple and aqua Zig pens.  I did the same to the base of the card, using the same water color paper and pens. Once the watercolor was dry-ish, I stamped the sentiment onto the card bas, then diecut the heart a few times.  I adhered it to the card using foam tape.  Using the remaining diecut, using the center piece of the puzzle (and a different color), I adhered it to the heart using foam adhesive. To embellish, pink sparkly Nuvo drops were used. All of the Technique Tuesday March products are now available, on the new products page.

Today I am sharing a bright lovey dovie card using colors that remind be of Florida towns.  Bright pink and lime green.  I am using a XOXO die from Lawn Fawn that is now available.  Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog to check out more dies that are new, as well as more inspiration.  Plus a chance to win a lot of new product!! My husband is currently deployed, so I send him quite a bit of cards in the mail.  They need to be not so bulky so they are not ruined in the mail.  So I had this in mind when I created this card. Using the new Bar 4 Stitched Rectangle dies, I created the card base as well as the top panel.  Using the Plastic Flamingo ink from Lawn Fawn, I blended ink onto the left side of the panel, and then stamped hearts in the same color ink.  I diecut lime card stock using the same die as the front panel, and trimmed it down, then adhered it to the panel using foam squares.  The XOXO was die cut using white card stock, and ...

Hello there!  Fun things going on over at the Lawn Fawn Blog, two brand new stamp sets and coordinating dies are being released this week.  As well as some dies that coordinate with past sets.  Today, I am sharing a card I made using a new stamp/die set called Pizza My Heart (so stinking cute), along with new stitched stackable heart dies. For a chance to win these new products, and see more great projects, head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog . The pizza box was, stamped in black ink, die cut out and then colored in with Copic Markers.  To give the card a little bit of depth I popped up the center heart and pizza box using foam squares.

Today, I am sharing a card using the Flirty Frames stamp set and coordinating dies from Lawn Fawn. There are two stamps sets being shown on the Lawn Fawn Blog today, so be sure to head on over there to check out Scripty Sayings! I wanted to create a frame that matched the soft pink, and eggshell colors that are in the Mon Amie Collection.  So I stamped and diecut two frames, colored them in (stamped the sentiment) using Copic markers and adhered them together using foam squares, to give the flat card some dimension. To the card front, I added some pattern paper to coordinate with the stamped images, added twine, adhered the frames and added a few pearls for a soft embellishment.  I really wanted to round the bottom corners, but my corner rounders were no where to be seen, they must have overdosed & passed out somewhere from Valentine's Day chocolate lol.

How is it the end of January? I am blaming Thanksgiving being late, which cause the holidays to blur, add in a lot of travel days, and finding yourself a few weeks from Valentine's Day.  So I guess that means I need to start making a few lovey dovie cards.   The colors of the Meology line from Fancy Pants Designs are so soft, and the palette is really perfect for making romantic cards with.  I stamped directly onto some pattern paper, it wasn't too busy where I would be worried about the pattern over powering the stamped sentiment.   To add more color I stamped the heart in a soft pink color, and distressed the edges with green ink. (sidebar) I am really loving the mini distress ink pads from Ranger (Tim Holtz line) and the round mini sponge blenders. love them. I popped a few of the banner stickers up using 3d Foam Squares, to help give the card a little bit of dimension.  A lot of times if you look at a card and it looks wrong, it could b...

For whatever reason most of my blog posts never showed up this month.  But in all fairness to blogger, I "might" have accidentally been using the wrong year to pre-post...oops lol. So Fancy Pants Designs has a new line out called Flutter.  The first thing I immediately noticed about this line was the texture of the paper, it has a little bit of tooth to it.  I might be a little bit heavier than smooth pattern paper.  But the Flutter paper just feels luxurious.   The colors and patterns are really bold, with hues of teal, light and dark pink, black, cream among others (those are the ones sticking out in my mind right now). For this card all I needed to do was cut or adhere most of the items except for the circle die cut.  Right now I making a lot of cards for next years holidays, so that the guys/girls have cards to send home, when my husband deploys. This cards isn't to bulky so it will be perfect to set aside.  I usually send 1000+ cards...
