    Really Late or Really Early

    I had a bit of time this morning to play in my craft room so I dug out the Eventually Yours stamp and inked it up.

    I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches again as it is different than my usual go tos. It is nice to do something different LOL,

    I paired the stamp set with the Here’s the Scoop paper pack. I really like the bright happy colors in this set. Of course the Thinking Out Loud stamp set had to make an appearance too. Once I mounted the images on foam squares. I added a few sequins for the ‘snail trail’

    Have a great day. We unfortunately are off to a memorial today.

    Grab the stamp set while it is on sale!

  • One Challenge – Two Ways

    One Challenge – Two Ways

    I was inspired to create two totally different cards for this week’s challenge and couldn’t decide which one to use so I used both. 

    For this first one, I was inspired by the colors and created a Halloween card.

    I dug into my old CTMH stash and used up some of the scraps that I have been hoarding. I adhered the cat sticker to some scrap paper and cut out so that I could mount on foam squares. The Trick or Treat die is from Simon says.

    Next up, I was inspired by the ‘animal in the grass’ and the sketch for this card.

    The paper is from Stampin’ Up! I thought the mushroom meadow was perfect for this cute snail. I have a thing for snails, I think they are so cute and honestly don’t care if they nibble my plants. This guy is the new Eventually Yours stamp set from Unity and it is actually on sale right now too! 

    I mounted him on foam squares for some dimension

    Grab this cute set while it is on sale!

    Can’t wait to see how you are inspired this week. Have a great weekend!

  • Happy Birthday Exploding Box

    Happy Birthday Exploding Box

    I was up on the Echo Park page the other day with this fun Exploding Box birthday card.

    I used the They Say It’s Your Birthday collection – the fun stickers made this easy!

    What is really fun is that this will fit in a regular A2 envelope for easy mailing. There are FREE instructions on how to make this up on the Echo Park Website and you can find them HERE

    It was fun creating it and I hope you give it a try!

  • Still Kickin’

    Still Kickin’

    Oh my gosh, I love this fun new stamp from Unity called Still Kickin’ (it’s ON SALE right now)

    I stamped then coloured with copics. As always, I mounted him with foam squares. I almost added the word A$$ with dies but decided against it LOL, though I do think it might have been funny.

    I paired him with the Boho Baby Bear paper and just added a touch of color. Now go grab this fun set while it is on sale!

  • Mouse & Me cards

    Mouse & Me cards

    My cards were up on the Echo Park page the other day. I used the new Mouse & Me collection.

    If you are a Mickey Mouse fan (and who isn’t?!) then this collection is a must have! There are so many ways that you could use it.

    I had fun creating a fold out pop up card for one of them and there are FREE instructions for all three cards up on the Echo Park website.

  • Happy Birthday

    Happy Birthday

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the theme and the colors to create my card. I bet you wouldn’t guess that I used a very Easter themed collection for this? It is the Easter Basket collection from Echo Park, love when paper packs are versatile.

    The Cake stamp and die is from CTMH one and I paired it with a notebook stamp and die from Stampin Up. I paper pieced the cake and mounted it on foam squares. I then topped it with the birthday die from Echo Park. This was one of those 11th hour type of cards and luckily for me, it all went together well.

    Now check out this week’s Inspired By Challenge, I hope you play along!

  • Spring Chicken

    Spring Chicken

    This month’s Uniquely Unity kit from @unitystampco is a fun one with a couple of chicken images.

    I used this first one to play along with a couple challenges

    I coloured her with copics and then cut out to mount on foam squares.

    I paired it with the You Are My Sunshine paper from @echoparkpaper. To add a little interest I backed it with an old die from Reverse Confetti and added some glaze to her eyes.

    This fun stamp set is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!

  • Wishing You a Happy Birthday

    Wishing You a Happy Birthday

    The new Inspired By challenge is up and it is such a pretty one (there’s lovely new graphics too!). I was inspired by the flowers and the colors. I used some of my Stampin’ Up stash, love these beautiful papers. I then used one of my Stampin’ Up stencils for the flowers. I love this stencil so much!

    I started with an aqua card base then topped it with the pretty vellum paper before adding the white and the gingham. I mounted the flowers on foam squares for some dimension and then of course the stamp and sentiment die is from Stampin’ Up as well.

    Now check out this week’s graphic and of course we would love for you to come and play along!

  • Sweet Birthday Wishes

    Sweet Birthday Wishes

    When I saw this week’s Inspired By challenge I knew it would be a good excuse to use my new Pink and Main Box of Donuts Dies. thus I was inspired by the donuts 😊 I had fun putting this together as it gave me an excuse to use some of my beads and confetti that has been sitting in my stash just waiting for the right project. It was also a good way to use up some of my scraps.

    Here’s this week’s inspiration and I am also playing along with the Simon Says challenge – Anything goes

    I am sharing another card with this fun Little Weirdo Stamp Set from Unity. This time I paired it with the It’s My Birthday collection from Echo Park and the stamped sentiment is the Say it Loud and Clear stamp from Unity as well

    I mounted the bird on foam squares for some dimension and again did add Liquid Glass to his eyes.
