The Greeting Farm Monday Fun Day Challenge Entry

It feels so good to be crafting again! It has been so long since I have participated in a challenge. I'm really excited about this card. I used my Mermaid Anya stamp by the Greeting Farm for the first time! I colored her with copic markers and added pearls to her hair and Glossy Accents to her fin. The patterned paper and the letter stickers are from Echo Park's Summer Days collection. I cut the blue patterned paper into wave shapes by hand, inked up their edges, and then layered them on top of each other with tacky tape. I used My Creative Time's Build a Banner die to cut the banner with my Big Kick and then added some twine to the top. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.

Giveaway Winner and a Christmas card!

I'm so sorry for being away so long! Things got so crazy between work and Christmas the last few weeks and I just didn't have time to blog. I really apologize for being so late with the giveaway winner but I'll include a few extra goodies in my shipment to hopefully make up a little for my tardiness. Without further hesitation I'm very pleased to announce the winning comment:

KinderStampO's Sketchy Wednesday

Hello everyone! It's time for another of KinderStampO's Sketchy Wednesdays. Here is a picture of the sketch and my project. I used the Santa's Village Imagine cartridge again for this project. It came together very quickly and was super simple! I cut this out using Cricut Craftroom. I used a basic square shape and filled it in with one of the patterns on Santa's Village and then cut Mrs. Clause with layers so I could pop up her face and arms. The sentiment is from KinderStampO's "Vintage and Traditional Holiday" stamp set that you can check out here.

KinderStampO's Sketchy Wednesday

Good morning everyone! It's time for KinderStampO's sketchy Wednesday. I have included a picture of the sketch and my card. This is my first project with the new Santa's Village Imagine cartridge. I LOVE this cartridge! Santa is three layers tall with his torso popped up and his arm popped up on top of that. I love the dimension that this creates but it doesn't translate well in this picture. His boots are also popped up. This cartridge really allows you to do a lot of layering if that's the look you desire. The present is on top of a handmade rosette and I added some Glossy Accents to the bow top. The sentiment is from KinderStampo's "Greetings From Home" stamp set. I'm really happy with how this turned out and it was so super simple to put together thanks to the Imagine. Thanks for stopping by! Have a fantastic day.

KinderStampO's Color it Monday

Hello everyone! I just got back from the local Scrapbooking Expo and I was so excited to use my new toys from the show! For this card I used a stamp and die set from Heartfelt Creations to make the flowers. The stamps and the dies coordinate perfectly together. I stamped the flowers with black ink and then cut them with the matching dies. After that I colored them in with Copic markers and added Coral Reef and Vanilla Breeze Glimmer Mist sprays to them as well. I darkened the edges with Distress ink and glued a little Martha Stewart glitter to the inside of the flowers. The stamp set I used for the sentiment is from KinderStampO's "Greetings From Home" stamp set. I hope you enjoy!

KinderStampO's Color it Monday

Hello everyone! Here is another submission for KinderStampO's color it Monday. I love how the colors work together in this card. It's very bright and fun. I used KinderStampO's "Greetings From Home" stamp set for the sentiment. I used an Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm and Copic markers to color the stamp in. The flowers are Prima and their brad centers are from Close to My Heart. The orange cardstock is cut with a Martha Stewart border punch and I topped it all off with a ribbon from my stash. Thanks so much for stopping by!
