Insert Title Here

Posted on September 26, 2017 | Leave a comment

Well, hello there and thanks for stopping by! I didn’t have a snazzy title for my post so if you’re reading this, you can choose the title. I don’t suppose it really matters anyway whether this post has a title or not, am I right? I have a few cards to share that I made recently. The first one up is a cute shaker card that I made for Cas-ual Fridays’ challenge CFC183. I decided to do a large panel shaker and matched the sequin colors to that of the plaid paper.

Next up is a card for Lawn Fawnatic’s Challenge #13. The warm fall colors inspired me to use this yummy plaid paper found in Lawn Fawn’s Perfectly Plaid (Fall) 6×6 paper pack.

I colored the cute pinata from LF Year Seven with Copic colors to match the plaid. I added just a bit of sparkly glitter to the pinata too…after all, it IS a party! It’s hard to tell from the photo but the pinata is mounted on a mini action wobbler (I love those things) and the cheers sentiment was cut and stacked (four time) for added dimension.

Last up is a card for Sugar Pea Designs mix it up challenge SPDMIU#35. I went with the color combination (pink & green) portion of the challenge and included an arched edge on the floral portion to mimic the door and window frames in the image.

I used SPD Talk is Chic stamp set and embossed the sentiment using Versamark and Hero Arts white embossing powder.

All Aboard the Birthday Bus!

My blog is officially a year old! I’m still learning my way around and am pretty basic but it’s definitely not as intimidating as it was.

Now, on to the fun stuff…I’ve got a really cute card to share today.

This fun image comes from Avery Elle (I love Avery Elle). These cute little critters are heading to Long Island, NY all the way from “Birthdayville” to wish my BFF Valarie a very happy birthday.

I created the background (Strathmore Bristol Smooth) using an ink blending tool with Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber Distress Inks then spritzed with water. Then I added some stamped confetti using the same ink colors but stamping off once before stamping onto the image. The image was colored with Copic markers. Thanks for stopping by – hope you’ll come back again soon.

I discovered Darcie’s Heart and Home Stamps while perusing Instagram one day…they have the cutest stamps! I thought these pickles were a hoot and couldn’t wait to make a card for a friend…What’s the Dilly, Yo? Ha, funny.

I liked this little guy so much that I colored another and made a birthday card for my uncle. The pickles are secured to the card with an action wobbler so they wiggle.

and, here’s the inside…

Cute, right? Here are some other cute sets Darcie’s has to offer:

Not only do these cute images have equally as cute little faces, they’ve got fun, punny sentiments too. I’ll be inking these cuties up very soon.
