  • Pam-purred

    Pam-purred

    I had fun making this card. Everything just kind of worked and fell into place easily.

    I had created some DT cards for Echo Park Paper using the Cat Lover collection and since the paper was out, I thought it worked well for this new Unity Pam-purr Yourself Stamp

    I used some of the scraps leftover from my other cards and just layered them onto the card front. I colored the image with copics, fussy cut it out and mounted on foam squares.

    I stamped one of the sentiments in the Thinkin Out Loud stamp set and mounted on foam squares as well.

    I then finished off with some stickers.

    BOTH of these stamps are on sale right now! Go grab them!

  • Thanks for being so sweet

    Thanks for being so sweet

    Hey everyone, the new Inspired By challenge is up and it is a sweet one 😉.

    I was inspired by the theme, colors and sketch this week. I was excited to use my Pink & Main Box of Donuts dies along with an old MFT frame die. The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life and the enamel dots are from Echo Park.

    I mounted the donuts on foam squares and finished them off with some fun sprinkles. Now which donut would you choose?

    Come play along with us over at Inspired by! I am also entering this into the Simon Says challenge

  • Groovy Summer Card Trio

    Groovy Summer Card Trio

    My cards using the Groovy Summer collection was up on the Echo Park page the other day.

    This was such a fun collection to work with – brought back memories of Friday night roller skating. The colors and the elements are so groovy 😉 The collection is on sale right now too.

    There are FREE instructions on how to create all three of these up on the Echo Park Website

  • 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!

  • Something Old, Something New

    Something Old, Something New

    The new Inspired By challenge is up. I was immediately drawn to the colors and I love a haphazard sketch so I was loosely inspired by it too. The new Save the Date collection from Echo Park is absolutely gorgeous and it worked perfectly for the color palette. The background woodgrain paper is from Stampin Up!

    I started by fussy cutting the flowers from one of the pattern papers. I then layered the background papers until I was happy with the loo. Once the flowers were down (the middle on is on foam squares. I tucked the sentiments here and there simulating the sketch. The white hearts were the negative image from a heart border that I have had just waiting for the right project and this was it. The XOXO is from Lawn Fawn and then to finish it off I added some Enamel Dots.

    Here’s this week’s inspiration photo

  • A Little Sunshine

    A Little Sunshine

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today. It is a new month so there’s a new theme up and this month it is Sunshine!

    For my card I reached for the You Are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park which is fitting don’t you think?

    The mug is a die from Honey Bee Stamps. I stencilled the sun on it using a stencil from Echo Park. I then added the shine sticker and a heart sticker and of course some staples. I mounted the mug on foam squares and added a little white heart for steam.

    I would love to see your sunshine themed coffee cards. Remember… iced coffee/ iced tea counts…

  • Baking Up Some Thanks

    Baking Up Some Thanks

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up.I really love the colors in this week’s inspiration and had planned on doing something with them but then I remembered I had the Mom’s Kitchen collection from Echo Park just waiting to be used so I dug it out and went along with the theme.

    I embossed the mint cardstock with an embossing folder from Unity. The recipe card, is just that, a recipe card – Echo Park has some fun ones! I just cut it down and used a notebook punch to add some detail.

    I adhered the stickers to some scrap paper then fussy cut them out and mounted them on foam squares. The thanks die is from CTMH and I love the gingham washi tape in the Mom’s Kitchen collection so I added a bit of it too.

    check out this week’s inspiration and be sure to play along

    Hippity Hoppity

    I had a layout up on Echo Park Paper the other day and I had so much fun creating it

    The Easter Basket collection was perfect for documenting these cute pictures don’t you think?

    Most of the stickers I adhered to scrap paper and fussy cut out so I could mount on foam squares.

    I also fussy cut some eggs from the patterned paper

    There’s free instructions for this up on the Echo Park Paper website. Check them out here

  • Hooray You Did It

    Hooray You Did It

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I bet you can tell how I was inspired.

    I actually thought I had a couple of frog stamps but in one of my purges I must have gotten rid of them so I found this fun set of frogs and decided they would be perfect.

    The collection comes with both coloured in and line drawing Clip Art. I was in a hurry and decided the coloured version was perfect. I printed, cut out and mounted on foam squares. The paper is from Echo Park and the die and sentiment are from Honey Bee Stamps. I also mounted the sentiment of foam squares.

    Now here is the collection of the cute frogs

    Now come on over and play along at Inspired By!

  • You’re the Zest

    You’re the Zest

    I had fun creating some themed gift baskets for Mother’s Day. For this one I used the new Lemonade collection from Echo Park for my You’re the Zest basket. Not only was the theme perfect but the colors matched the contents of the basket very well!

    I layered some paper, added the Die and then created some tags out of scraps. I adhered the lemon stickers to some scrap paper then cut out and mounted on foam squares. The Sentiment is from Sunny Studio Stamps.

    And here is the basket, would love to know what you think?
