Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project for the Purple Onion Designs Anniversary sale.
My first card features several adorable critters: Bella, April, Dotty & Pecan. These adorable images always steal my heart.
I colored all the images with Copics, fussy cut them and popped them up onto the ink blended backgrounds. I used Tumbled Glass, Old Paper & Crushed Olive Oxide inks on the background and also die cut a few hills using the Landscape Trio dies. Then I die cut the entire panel using the scalloped rectangle from All Prettied Up.
This next card features these sweet little fairies: Goldie & Flint. Both cards feature sentiments from the Essential Thoughts Sentiments Set.
I blended more oxide inks on the background using Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch & Wilted Violet followed by flicks of water. Then I die cut a circle frame using one of the Nested Circle Dies. I added a few Crystal Reflection sequins to finish it off.
There’s many more adorable images to see over at the Purple Onion Designs shop and they are 25% off for just a few more days! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mandy’s Flowers-August Card Kit
July 13, 2018
Hi there! The August Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp just released and it is gorgeous! I have a project to share featuring the beautiful Mandy’s Flowers stamp set included in the kit.
For the background I used a piece of Bo Bunny Early Bird pattern paper, included in the kit.
I stamped the circle floral frame image from Mandy’s Flowers and colored it with Copics. I used circle dies to create a window opening into the pattern paper as well as die cutting the circle part of the floral frame image. I stamped the flowers again and fussy cut them to piece onto the frame. The sentiment is also from Mandy’s Flowers.
To finish it off I added a few drops using the Bubble Gum Blush Nuvo Crystal Drops included in the kit. Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more info on this beautiful new kit. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Pinkfresh Studio July Release Blog Hop
July 9, 2018
Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pinkfresh Studio for their July release blog hop. You can check out the awesome, new July release HERE!
I’ve created two projects featuring the Cityscape die. This die coordinates perfect with both A Day in the City & Home for the Holidays stamp set.
For my first card I embossed several of the images from A Day in the City in white onto aqua cardstock. I stamped the buildings onto white cardrstock, colored them with copics and paper pieced them onto the aqua panel.
This next card features the Home for the Holidays stamp set.
I turned this card into a shaker and colored the images with copics.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

Be Brave!
June 30, 2018Hi there! Today I have a fun project to share featuring the Perforated Flaps dies by Simon Says Stamp. It’s actually a card within a card within a card, so it’s VERY special:)
To begin I used the largest Perforated Flap die on the front panel. I added some patter paper to the flap along with the adorable Picture Book Love Bear.
I embossed a sentiment from the Yes You Can stamp set along with stamping another coordinating sentiment below it. This card is going to my son who leaves soon for Germany to play hockey again this season.
Behind the Perforated Flap is a hidden, smaller photo card. I simply printed off a photo of my son and I and added an embossed sentiment from Vacation Time that I die cut using the smallest Nested Talk Bubbles dies. Inside the photo card is a McDonalds gift card for him to buy some fries and think of his momma when he is away:)
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card within a card within a card.

Mama Elephant-Book Worm
June 29, 2018Hi there! Today I’m sharing this fun project over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the adorable Book Worm set.
To create the fun box card I used the new 3D Pop Up Card Creative Cuts. I used Island Blue cardstock for the box & added panels of pattern paper to the sides.
I stamped the adorable images from Book Worm in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copics adding a few highlights with a white gel pen. Then I used the coordinating Book Worm Creative Cuts to die cut the images out and adhered them to acetate strips to pop up inside the box card.
I added a sentiment from the Good Reads set to the front of the box card.
Aren’t these Book Worm set so cute? Perfect for all those book lovers, teachers, students or anyone who just loves cute critters with oversized glasses on:) Thanks so much for stopping by!
I Need a Vacation Right MEOW!
June 28, 2018Hello there! Today I have a project to share that makes me smile! A kitty in a mermaid get-up with a major attitude about taking a vacay:)
For the background I embossed the circle ocean scene from Surf’s Up. I masked off each section of the ocean scene and blended in distress inks for the color.
I used a combinations of adorable images from Summer Cuddly Critters & Surf’s Up along with the most perfect sentiment ever! I finished it off with a few sequins in coordinating colors.
Are you feeling like you might need a vacation right meow? Me toooo! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Mama Elephant-Dandelion Wishes
June 27, 2018Hi there! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Dandelion Wishes set.
I used the Tri Window Cover Die to create the panel and blended distress inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio onto the background.
I colored the sweet images from Dandelion Wishes with Copics, added some accents with a white gel pen & used the coordinating dies to cut them out and pop them up onto the panel. This was a great way to use almost every single image in the stamp set.
Check out the Mama Elephant blog to see more of the adorable Dandelion Wishes set. Thanks so much for looking!
