Hi there! Today I’m excited to share this project over on the WPlus9 blog featuring the gorgeous New Home stamp set.
To begin I stamped all of the images from New Home with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Bristol paper. I colored the images using Zig Clean Color Markers.
For the background I used the Wood Planks stamp set, and for the sentiment I used Welcome Wreath.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Summer Splash stamp set.
To begin I embossed the shoreline waves in clear and then blended color using Distress Oxide inks followed by splatters of water and liquid watercolors.
I colored the images with Copcs and used the coordinating creative cuts to die cut each image. I popped up the images with foam tape and stamped a sentiment from Beach Chickies.

Hello again! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting The Wild Roar set.
I stamped The Wild Roar image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the images with Copies. I did something a little different this time with the coloring. I just added straight, flat color without any gradient using multiple shades of Copics per image. I kinda like the smooth look for something different.
I die cut the image using The Wild Roar coordinating die and popped it up onto some Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper. The sentiment is from Labeled Messages.

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their May Essential Release Blog Hop.
This is what I’m called a multi-windowed shaker. I used hexagons from the Basic Label Frames die set to create the hexagon windows.
I backed the panel with acetate, doubled up on the foam tape to give these gorgeous crystals from the Crystal Mix room to shake and then added a die cut sentiment from the Essentials: Classic Words die set.
Here’s a video to show how I made this multi-windowed shaker.

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Celebrate You Release Blog Hop!
I’ve created a couple of really simple shaker cards using some of the new release products.
To begin I die cut some Dream In Colour pattern paper by Tonic using one of the Rounded Corners Rectangle dies. Then I used a Nested Circle die to create the window opening. I backed the window opening with acetate to create the shaker.
I filled the shaker with the most gorgeous Nuvo Pure Gems: Amethyst Squares, Crystal Gems, Pearl Rectangles, Golden Ovals and Water Droplets.
For the sentiments I used the Stop Drop and Party stamp set by CZ Designs.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these simple shakers.

Hi there! The Celebrate You Release by Simon Says Stamp is live and loaded with lots of fun new products! I have a couple of projects to share.
This card uses the adorable Peeking Frog die. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind the die cut. I added some googly eyes and free-hand cut a little party hat with a teeny pom pom on top.
The sentiments for both cards are from the Stop Drop and Party stamp set by CZ Designs.
This card uses the Peeking Daisy. I added the strips of solid colored cardstock horizontally this time and popped up the daisy die cut over top.

Hello there and Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Outline Floral Mom die along with a sentiment from one of the Sentiment Strips printables. Check out the video to see how I created this project HERE.
Today my family surprised my mom and I with a very special Mother’s Day lunch. The kids cleaned the house and decorated the dining room. They bought flowers, cookies and brownies from Panera. You can see my messy craft station in the background. It’s never clean. That’s a big roll of foam tape leaning up against the clock in case you were wondering. It’s pretty much a hot mess. I’m so thankful for my mom and that we can spend this day with her. Have I ever told you that my mom was the one who got me into card making? She invited me to a Stampin’ Up party. Yep, the rest is history!
Part of the feast was a huge tray of McDonalds french fries. They knocked it outta the park, I tell ya!!! I was in heaven. They get me. Also, this is my Target cardigan that I wear just about every single day of my life. If you’ve every watched my videos you’ve probably seen it. It’s like my security blanket.
I’m so thankful for this crazy crew of mine who made me a momma. They keep my days and my heart extremely full at all times.
Thank you so much for stopping by my little old blog time and time again and for your many encouraging words. Sending hugs to you today❤️
