  • Spring Has Sprung

    Spring Has Sprung

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and it it very fitting for the month of April. A rainbow of gum boots! I was inspired by the gum boots and used the In Full Bloom collection by Echo Park Paper

    The gum boots stamp is from CTMH and believe it or not, I have some pink ones like this, some baby pink Hunter boots…. I mounted all the images on foam squares for some dimension. The Spring die is from Echo Park as well.

    Now I would love to see how you are inspired… come on over and 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!

  • Easter Basket Trio

    Easter Basket Trio

    I have a few cards created for @echoparkpaper using the fun Easter Basket collection.

    I had fun creating them and the instructions are up on the Echo Park website so you can easily re-create them! A tip I have and usually do with stickers is that I adhere them to scrap paper then fussy cut out so that I can mount on foam squares.

  • Oh Crop!

    Oh Crop!

    Hey everyone, I am here with my take on this week’s Inspired By Challenge. When I saw the stripes and the bright happy colors I thought of the new Craft Room collection by Echo Park. So many fun things in this collection, perfect for us crafters. When I saw the Oh Crop chipboard element I thought I would make a Oh Crop I missed your birthday but then this came to mind. I used the sketch and created this:

    It also gave me an excuse to use this neglected stamp and die from CTMH that I don’t think I ever used (have you ever purchased something then never used it? 😉😂- pretty sure I am not the only one!)

  • A Little Wine

    A Little Wine

    I am so excited to have my first projects up on the Echo Park page today. For this one I used the new Wine collection to create a couple of cards and a wine bottle tag. Would be perfect for a girls night don’t you think?

    If you are a wine drinker, or have some friends that are, then you need this collection! So many fun elements and stickers in it.

    Now you can check out the collection HERE

  • Poppin In

    Poppin In

    When I saw the sketch from CAS colors and sketches, I knew what stamp set I wanted to use. I thought the Windowsill Woodlands from Unity would work well. What do you think?

    The paper and hello die are from Echo Park. I mounted the animals on foam squares.

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

    Now here’s the sketch:

  • You Are My Sunshine

    You Are My Sunshine

    There’s another weather challenge and this one is from Simon Says. Of course I thought of Echo Park Paper again and this time I used the You Are My Sunshine collection.

    So many fun bright papers in this set. I adhered the stickers to scrap paper so I could mount on foam squares. The Hello Die is also from Echo Park

    I used one of my sketches, which you can find here

    I’m playing along with no

  • A Warm Cup of Tea

    A Warm Cup of Tea

    The new Inspired By challenge is up and of course being a tea drinker, I had to go with the theme. I dug out my very old Papertrey Ink Stamp as I thought it was perfect for this (do you have this stamp set?) and I paired it with the Mom’s Kitchen collection from Echo Park. I used my scallop punch to make the flowered paper look like a table cloth. I mounted the tea pots on foam squares and topped off with some old Papertrey Ink buttons.

    Would love for you to come play along with us and there’s a new group on Facebook called Craft your Stash – a place to encourage you to use some of your old/uninked/ neglected… anything

  • Let’s Celebrate

    Let’s Celebrate

    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.

    Oh and both of these Unity stamps are on sale right now! Click on the image below for direct link!

  • My Kind of Weird

    My Kind of Weird

    When I first saw this new Unity stamp Little Weirdo I absolutely loved it! I think there’s so many ways you could use this, (I have another idea I am going to try today) he’s just so fun and cute don’t you think?

    I have paired it with the You Are My Sunshine kit from Echo Park – love how bright and happy this kit is. I added Liquid Glass to his eyes for some added detail and fun (I miss CTMH – what do you use now instead of liquid glass?) Of course, I had to add the Thinking Out Loud speech bubble because it works so well with this. I got the Just Sayin’ from Simon Says.

    Now go grab this Unity Stamp while it is on sale (click on image below for link)
