Hi there! Popping in with a fun, little card to make you smile today😊
I had some fun with the CZ Design Archie Alpha dies spelling out this cheeky little phrase. For the donut I used the I Love Donuts set and colored it with Copics and used white pigment ink to stamp the sprinkles and later went over the sprinkles with a white gel pen for more intensity. I used a 1″ circle punch to cut out the donut.
How about that fun pattern paper? It’s from the new Really Rainbow 6×6 pack from Lawn Fawn. Pretty sure I need a lifetime supply of this paper.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

‘Sup You Cheeky Monkey
February 25, 2018Hello there or should I say ‘Sup you cheeky monkey😀I have a fun, little project to share with you featuring a few of my faves right now.
I think you already know how I feel about the Picture Book Monkey and when I saw the “cheeky monkey” sentiment in the Hello You set I knew I it was destiny!
For the background I trimmed strips of cardstock to 1/4″ thick and adhered them together onto a small panel. I used one of the Hey dies for the ‘Sup, which worked perfectly with the embossed sentiment in Hello You.
Rainbows and cheeky monkeys…you just can’t top that! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love You Sassy Lass
February 23, 2018Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the a few new CZ design products. I used the Archie Alpha dies to spell out “love” & the Heartthrob stamp set for the winged heart image.
For the background I tried out the new Distress Resist Spray and after it dried I blended some Distress Oxide inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon & Cracked Pistachio. I also tried out the new-to-me Gemini Junior die-cutting machine. Check out the video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit-Choose Joy
February 14, 2018
Hi there! Today I have a couple of projects to share showcasing the gorgeous new March Card Kit-Choose Joy. This kit has TWO stamp sets included in it & gorgeous pattern papers & stickers💗
My first card features the adorable Showers & Flowers stamp set.
I used one of the cream card bases, included in the kit, along pattern paper by Carta Bella that I die cut with one of the Nested Circle dies. I stamped the images and colored them with Copics. To finish it off I added a white pom-pom to the bunny tail along with an embossed sentiment from Showers & Flowers.
This next card uses some of the beautiful stickers by Carta Bella that are included in the kit.
I layered the gingham & pink pattern papers by Carta Bella and popped up the stickers with foam tape for dimension. How gorgeous is that “hello”sticker? To finish it off I added some sparkling clear sequins.

New 💗LOVE💗 Collection!
January 24, 2018Hello friends! Love is in the air over at Simon Says Stamp💗 Their new LOVE release just went live and I couldn’t wait to share a couple of projects using some of my favorites with you.
It’s no secret that I adore the Picture Book dies by Simon Says Stamp. There are getting to be quite a few now and I love every single one of them. Just when you thought they couldn’t get any cuter…they did! The Picture Book Unicorn and Love Bear are completely irresistible.
I used some Pebbles pattern papers from my January Card Kit along with one of the Nested Circle dies to frame the Picture Book cuties. I added an embossed sentiment from the Best Friends set.
For the Picture Book Unicorn I used more Pebbles pattern paper and a sentiment from the CZ Design Yay set. For fun I added an embossed sentiment on the inside of the card also from the Yay set and die cut with one of the Nested Circle Dies. I’m so tempted to make about ten more of these unicorns in every color of the rainbow🌈
Not sure what it is about these sweet Picture Book Dies but they just make me smile! I’ve got a few more projects to share using more of the new LOVE release coming on Saturday so stay tuned for a fun blog hop!
Check out the fun, new LOVE release below. Thanks so much for stopping by!
