  • 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

  • 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)

  • Here for the Cake

    Here for the Cake

    Ok, I can totally relate can you? LOL This cute Shear Surprise KOMpanion kit. Have you seen all of the new releases for this months KOM?! My goodness they are so good. This is the first one I had to play with though… and I paired it with the Party Animals collection from Echo Park… fitting don’t you think?

    I did minimal colouring.. The party hats are actually stickers. I stuck to scrap paper first then cut out so that I could make sure when the sheep were mounted on foam squares the hats weren’t sticking to the background.

    Now be sure to go grab this cute set while it is on sale!

    I am playing along with the Krafty Chicks

  • You’re Pretty Wonderful

    You’re Pretty Wonderful

    I am showing my age here. Do you know the story Ferdinand the Bull? The bull who just loved to sit out in the field and smell the flowers?

    When I saw this adorable new Uniquely Unity stamp – Just Pig Cause I thought of this pig sitting in a field of flowers and made 2 versions. I think it would be a great Wilbur too.

    Both cards used paper from the You Are My Sunshine Collection by Echo Park. And both have the pig mounted on foam squares

    This first one I paper pieced

    This next card I colored with my copics. I love this background daisy paper. Reminds me of some overalls I made for my oldest when she was a baby only they were blue and baby pink rather than yellow.

    You can grab this cute stamp and paper here (just click on images)
