Old Fox Birthday Card

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses SumMore Fun's Foxy Lady stamp set.

I stamped the fox image and sentiment from the Foxy Lady stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock, clear heat embossed them, and watercolored the image with Distress Oxide inks in Rusty Hinge and Black Soot.   While that was waiting to dry, I stamped a second fox image onto a post it note and die cut around it with my Brother Scan N Cut to make a mask for the image.  When dry, I masked the fox, then used a geometric stencil and new makeup brushes to add color to the background in Broken China and Lucky Clover Distress Oxides.  The makeup brushes worked like a charm!  I then die cut the panel with a wonky stitched rectangle die.  I embellished with Paradise and Mai Tai enamel dots and the card was complete!

Here is what the entire BRAND NEW Foxy Lady stamp set looks like!  Isn't it so cute?!

Also available with this new release are Foxy Lady stickers, digi papers, 6x6 papers and 12x12 papers!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Easter

Happy Easter Sunday!  Today myself and my Trendy Twine DT sisters have Easter projects to share with you on the Twine It Up blog.  Head on over to check them all out!  Here is what I created...

I had this double sided Easter paper in my stash that was just begging to have both sides featured, so I obliged ;)  I wrapped Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine around the patterned card base 5 times. 

On top of that I added a GMD doily die cut and an Easter egg. That was popped up with foam tape to allow room for the Trendy Twine underneath it. In the top corner where I folded the paper down, I stamped a Cardz TV sentiment. The finishing touch was to glue Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems in the top right and lower left corners.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Trendy Bakers Twine~Glassine Envelope Easter Treats

Hello everyone!  Easter will be here soon and if you are like me, you are still thinking of last minute treats to give.  Today these treats with Pink Limeade Trendy Twine are featured over at the Trendy Twine blog.

I started by adding three Reese's eggs to a Biggie Glassine Envelope and sealed it shut with a Glue Dot.  I then wrapped Pink Limeade Trendy Twine around the envelope and tied a Large Tag-It to it with a bow.  For this first envelope, I used a Spring Green Large Tag-It and Pink Midnight Trendy Page Dots for embellishing.

The second treat has a Pink Large Tag-It with Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dots to embellish.  I used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the bunny silhouettes out of the Tag-Its.  The Scan N Cut scanned where I had placed the tags on my cutting mat so I could place the bunny cut exactly where I wanted it to cut out of the tag!  I stamped a sentiment in black from the APB Smile stamp set on the tag and finished the treats off by adding a bunny tail of Ice White Pearl Pen.

Here is a close up look at Annie's Paper Boutique's featured twine for the month:

Foxy Birthday Card

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses SumMore Fun's Foxy Lady stamp set.

I stamped the fox image from Foxy Lady stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock and watercolored it with Distress Oxide inks in Rusty Hinge and Black Soot.  Once it was dry, I die cut it with a stitched circle die and matted it with another circle die cut.  The patterned papers are from DCWV's Natural stack.  I added some Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine to the banner and added GMD Sophisticated Enamel Dots as accents.

For the sentiment, I wasn't sure how well it would stamp on the metallic circles of the patterned paper, but it turned out great!  I used the embossing buddy on the paper, then stamped the sentiment from the Foxy Lady stamp set with VersaMark using my stamp platform.  When embossing, I like to re-stamp 2 or 3 times to make sure I have total coverage!  I then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Here is what the entire BRAND NEW Foxy Lady stamp set looks like!  Isn't it so cute?!

Also available with this new release are Foxy Lady stickers, digi papers, 6x6 papers and 12x12 papers!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy Easter Card

Hello all!  Just a quick post today to share the Easter card that my 6 year old and I made for great grandma.  

The beautiful patterned paper was from The Paper Studio Hamilton Heights 6x6 paper pad.  I accented with navy blue cardstock.  The cross die cuts are from Cottage Cutz.  The sentiment was cut out of vinyl and adhered to the cardstock.  Ice White Pearl Pen dots finished it off!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Flip & Fold Birthday Card

Hello all!  My mother-in-law celebrated her birthday last week and I knew I wanted to make an extra special card for her.  I ran across this tutorial for a flip & fold card and knew it would be perfect to make!

I started out with the DCWV Meet Me In Paris stack.  It is so gorgeous!  I had a hard time deciding what paper to use.  Since it is double sided it was perfect for this style of card.  I also used solid cardstock in cream and olive green.  I used a GMD floral frame die and a simple flower die, a sentiment stamp from Raisin Boat's Flourishing Thoughts stamp set, GMD Passion Pink clear enamel dots and a bow of Pink Limeade Trendy Twine on the front for the focal point.

Here is the card all opened up.  Isn't it beautiful?!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

New Baby Fox Card **Sneak Peek**

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses brand new, never seen before digi papers and stamp set called Foxy Lady.  This card is made entirely with the digi papers except for the sentiment, which I used the physical stamp set to add.  They are now available at SumMore Fun.

I am not normally a digi person.  I have such a hard time figuring out how to use them without wasting a bunch of paper and ink!  My crafty friend, Theresa, had a quick tutorial on her blog so I used that and good old Google to find out how to utilize the beautiful Foxy Lady digi papers for my card.  After all, I wanted to use that darling mother and baby fox as my focal point!  Here is what it looked like in my SCAL4 software.  The card cutting file that I created can be seen on the right and what was actually printed/cut is on the left.

Here is a close up of that sweet image.  The best part about the digi papers is that they were a perfect match!  No trying to find patterned papers that didn't have the same scheme as the image.  I used brown ink around all of the cuts to add definition and a bit of distressing.  The oval is popped up with foam tape.

Here you can see The sentiment that I stamped in black ink.  I just love that font AND the sweet saying!  I embellished with Black and Ice White Pearl Pen dots and it was complete!  Make sure to stop by SumMore Fun this Friday to purchase the Foxy Lady stamp set and/or digi papers!  Also available are Foxy Lady stickers, 6x6 papers and 12x12 papers :)

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Spring Treat

Happy Thursday!  I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with this cute spring treat.  It uses our two featured items for the month of April, Pink Limeade Trendy Twine and a 2x8 Zip Bag.

I filled the 2x8 Zip Bag with Hershey's Nuggets...which are a favorite with crafters since they are easily customized by wrapping them with cardstock 1" wide x 3" long!  I added the top paper to the front side of the bag, then adhered a Spring Green Tag-It and a chipboard flower to it with Pink Limeade Trendy Twine.  The sentiment stamps are from the APB Choose Happy stamp set.  I also added a Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot to the flower.  Last of all, I added Raspberry Cupcake sequins to finish off this fun treat bag!

Here's a closeup of this month's featured Trendy Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Coffee Cup Card

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The coffee themed card I am sharing with you uses Raisin Boat's Guilty Pleasures stamp set.  It is an awesome set!

I started off by stamping the image in Versafine Onyx Black ink, then watercolored it with Distress Inks in Weathered Wood, Antique Linen, Mowed Lawn, and Vintage Photo.  When it was dry, I die cut it with a GMD pleated lace square die.  I used OWH sketch #6 for the layout of the card.  I really wanted to use fun patterned papers and so I went with Echo Park's For the Record 2 6x6 pad.  I added a sentiment from the same Guilty Pleasures stamp set at the bottom, once again, stamped in black.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
