Layton’s Legacy Card Drive & Fundraiser Blog Hop

Hello there! Today I’m honored to be a part of a very special blog hop hosted by Lea Lawson. This hop is in honor of her sweet son, Layton Caleb. You can read more about Lea’s story here. SSS-Picture Book Love Bear & SkyI’ve created a card inspired by the moodboard below. I absolutely love the rustic, modern feel to this moodboard and what makes it even more special is the fact that it was Layton’s nursery moodboard.

I used the Picture Book Love Bear with rustic cream & white cardstock. I used Copics to add color to the hearts, eyes & nose. I also used the Picture Book Sky die with aqua & white cardstock, popping up the clouds for added dimension. I used a small triangle from the Live Well stamp set along with Barely Beige ink to stamp subtle triangles on the background. SSS-Picture Book Love Bear & SkyFor the sentiment I used the Simple Sentiments No.1 stamp set and embossed it in white onto Smoke cardstock. I used one of the Tilted Banner dies to die cut the sentiment and popped it up with foam tape.SSS-Picture Book Love Bear & SkyYou can find out several different ways to join along, whether you choose to donate, share, shop or even create.

Best Days Release

Hello! Have you seen the fun new Best Days Release over at Simon Says Stamp? So much fun stuff! I was giddy to see more Picture Book Animals.
SSS-Picture Book Croc, Emphatic, Sweet Elephants & Picture Book SkyI’ve created a couple of cards using some of my faves from the new release. My first card features the Picture book Croc. I die cut the Picture Book Croc with white cardstock and then blended Twisted Citron & Crushed Olive to add the color. I never thought I’d fall for a croc, but this one’s pretty darn adorbs.
SSS-Picture Book Croc, Emphatic, Waves StencilI used the fun new Waves and Hills stencil with distress inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon & Salty Ocean. I die cut a waves with one of the Slopes & Hills dies so that I could tuck the Picture Book Croc behind. I added a super fun sentiment from the new Emphatic set by CZ Design. I get absolutely giddy when I see new CZ Design stuff!
SSS-Picture Book CrocNext up is a baby card featuring the Sweet Elephant dies.
SSS-Sweet Elephants, Picture Book SkyI used the Picture Book Sky for the background and die cut the elephants in Fog & Smoke cardstock. I added a simple sentiment from the Oh Baby stamp set.
