Mermaid You're Fintastic Card

I'll admit, I didn't use to be a fan of mermaids.  That all changed once I had a little girl plus a niece who really loves them!  This card happened to be for my niece.  The stamp set I used was a gift from Kendra, and it couldn't have been more perfect!  Thanks Kendra!
I used a background of patterned paper from the Craft Smith Stay Magical paper pad then created the focal point with watercolor paper and ink to acrylic block then spritzed with water with Distress Inks in Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, and Shabby Shutters.  The stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, then heat embossed with Wow! Clear Sparkle embossing powder for lots of sparkle and shine!  The stamp set is called Salty but Sweet by Sassy & Crafty.  The sentiment was popped up with foam tape and the sequins and paper layers were adhered with Bearly Art precision tip glue.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Navy Treat Box

Good morning!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a fun treat box.  It features both Trendy Twines of the month, In the Navy and Totally Navy.
I started with a 2x2 Kraft Box and kept it flat so I could easily stamp on it.  The APB You've Got Mail stamps were perfect for this project!  I used Versafine Clair Twilight ink to stamp all the sentiments.
Each visible side has different sentiments on it!  Won't this be so much for for the recipient?!  I glued both In the Navy Trendy Twine andTotally Navy Trendy Twine around the bottom of the box.
On the top, I also glued a frame of In the Navy Trendy Twine using Bearly Art precision tip glue as well as a tiny double bow of  Totally Navy Trendy Twine in the corner.  To finish off the box and fill in some blank spaces, I glued Blue Berry Sequins sporadically on the sides and the box was complete!
