Lawn Fawn Gnome Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone! I'm back again with another card made with Lawn Fawn stamps. This week I was inspired by the Lawnscaping challenge to create your own background using stamps. There are some awesome entries this week so please go check them out on their blog Lawnscaping.blogspot.com or by clicking here.

I tend to be a stamp hoarder so I've had the Lawn Fawn Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set for a while now and have never used it so I decided to finally break it out for this project and use the small mushroom for the background stamp. I also used my new favorite set Birthday Tags and the bird from Bannerific.

recipe:

Mother's Day card with Tattered Angels

Hello Everyone! This week I was inspired by the Simon Says Stamp monday challenge which is to use either the number five or five of an object in your project.  My solution to this challenge was to use five rhinestones to embellish my card.

I'm super excited about this card because I was able to break out my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. I sprayed a layer of Glimmer Mist on white cardstock and then used the Heidi Swapp polka dot stencil to mask another layer of Glimmer Mist creating the polka dot patter. This was the piece I cut for the background.

For the image I sprayed a full layer of Glimmer Mist and then, once it was dry, I stamped my Inkadinkado rose stamp in Memento ink on top of it. I enhanced the rose image with copic markers which gave in interesting effect since you can still see the glimmer through the Copic Marker. The Glimmer Mist is so beautiful in person with it's subtle shimmer. It's unfortunate that the camera cannot capture this effect. I then popped up the rose on top of a doily die cut from My Favorite Things.

Getting an early start on Christmas

Hello everyone! I was in the Christmas spirit and so when The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge was all about tags I knew right away that this was my chance to get a head start on Christmas! 

I have an incredible amount of paper scraps right now so in an effort to reduce the scrap pile I used only scrap paper for this entire project! I didn't break out any of my cutting machines to make this tag. I got everything from extra pieces that I cut last year. Here is what I came up with:

Here is what I used:

The Greeting Farm's Xmas Sweeties Ian

Copic Markers

Recollections patterned cardstock

Papertrey Ink and Core'dinations solid cardstock

Winter lace Cricut cartridge to make the snowflake (this was already cut in my scraps from a project I didn't make last year, score!)

Close To My Heart "A Holiday" stamp set with matching Cricut cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge

(also already cut in my scraps, yay!)

Tim Holtz tag as the base

Rhinestones and ribbon from my stash

I hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday Challenge

Hello everyone! Things have been a little busy lately but I finally got a chance to sit down and make a card to post. I made this card for The Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday challenge. The theme of this challenge is THANKFUL! I so obsessed with polka dots lately and I can't seem to stop using them in all my projects. Here is what I came up with.

Here is what I used:

The Greeting Farm Anya Digi

The Greeting Farm Farm Fresh Friday Challenge

Hello everyone! I'm really excited about the card I'm sharing today. The Greeting Farm came up with a great challenge this week called "Getttin Wiggy With It". For this challenge your image must have no brunette, blonde, or red hair so it's time to break out the fun colors! I was really put outside my comfort zone with this challenge because I have NEVER colored these images with anything besides normal hair color. I'm soo happy that I was challenged to do this because I really love the results.

This is the first time I have used the trace feature on my Silhouette to cut around my digi stamps. I think the cut came out perfect around the stamp and it saved me the time of doing it myself by hand! I also took the extra step to break out my sewing machine to add some embellishment to this card. I think the Studio Calico wood veneer shapes added the perfect finishing touch. What do you think?

Here is what I used:

Copic markers

The Greeting Farm Valentine Anya Digi

patterned paper and sentiment from the Memory Keepers Love Struck stack

Papertrey Ink solid cardstock

Studio Calico Wood Veneer shapes

The Greeting Farm's Garden Variety Challenge

This card was created for The Greeting Farm's Garden Variety Challenge. The challenge was to create a card that was clean and simple. I am the kind of girl who believes more is more when it comes to embellishments so toning it down was kind of challenging actually. I kept wanting to add glitter, or ribbon, or layers to this card. Here is what I came up with.

Here is what I used to make this card:

The Greeting Farm Cheeky Cherry Pie stamp

Scrappy Mom's Sentiment stamp from the Pinch and a Dash set

KinderStampO's Sketchy Wednesday

Hello everyone! I made this card for three different things. I love being able to use one project for multiple uses although I will admit that it doesn't happen very often for me! The first thing this was created for was KinderStampO's sketchy Wednesday. You can see the sketch inspiration in the first photo. I used the KinderstampO "Greetings From Home" stamp set for the sentiment that you can check out in her store here. Hop on over to the KinderStampO blog to see the other fabulous design team submissions or to join us in the fun! www.KinderStampO.com

The next two things this card was created for are challenges! The first is from Some Odd Girl. They are having a bling it up challenge. See the other fabulous entries here. I used the Love Letter Kaylee digital stamp from Some Odd Girl and I used rhinestones and glitter as my bling.

The next challenge I have made this for was the Trendy Twine Valentine's Day project challenge. I of course used their fabulous new Cherry Cupcake twine that is super cute! Check out the other entries here.

KinderStampO Color It Monday

Hello everyone! It's time for another KinderStampO Color it Monday post. The first picture is the color inspiration. I chose to make a card and I used the Cricut Art Nouveau cartridge for the design. I chose the Cala Lily cut and cut it and its layers out at four inches. I then layered it on some of my paper scraps. The last layer is sewn along the edges and distressed with a Tim Holtz sanding block. The sentiment is from KinderStampO's "Friendship" stamp set. Check it out at the KinderStampO online store here.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge- Organization!

This is my entry for this week's Cricut Circle weekly blog challenge! The challenge was to show them how we use our Cricut machines to organize our homes so I decided to show them how I organize my Cricut cartridges using my Cricut lol. The box is a simple photo box from Joann's. I made a label for the box using cuts from my Cricut Everyday cartridge and Cricut Craftroom Basics. The individual cricut cartridge boxes are a gypsy file created by Okieladybug. You can check out her awesome organizational post on her blog Okieladybug's Scrap N' More. It's pretty time consuming to make them but the end result is so worth it! Thanks for stopping by!

Exploring Cricut Challenge Entry

This is my entry for the new Exploring Cricut challenge. When I went to upload my project today I realized I scraplifted one of their designers by accident lol! I chose the exact same Cricut cuts without even realizing that I was doing it, opps! Anyways, the cuts I used are From the Imagine cartridge Enjoy the Seasons. This is the first project that I have sewed on before. I bought a mini sewing machine that was only $15 from Big Lots. It's perfect size for my craft room because it's extremely small and I don't have to bother with bringing out my large machine. Check out the other fabulous entries at the Exploring Cricut blog.
