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, 2018

Hi 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.

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.

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!

Mama Elephant-Dandelion Wishes

June 27, 2018

Hi 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.

Today is the Greatest
