Celebrate Your Birthday!

Good morning and welcome back to my blog!

Today I'm up on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog with another card featuring the 

newly released Sassy stamp set! I just love that sweet Unicorn!

I started off with a black card base and I covered it in some pretty rainbow 

patterned paper with gold flecks in it.

Next I cut out a white frame using the Inside Scalloped Rectangle Dies 

from Craftin' Desert Divas to bring focus to the main images.

I used my Copic markers to color Sassy and that sweet cloud and then I cut

them out with my Scan n Cut.

To finish off my card I added the die cut word Celebrate in black

and I heat embossed the birthday sentiment from Doggone in 

white on to black card stock.

Thanks so much for joining me today on my blog!

Perk Up!

Welcome back to another blog post for The Coffee Loving Cardmakers!

Today in my ICU I have a sweet coffee card that is sure to perk you up!

I used a darling stamp set by Darcie's Heart and Home called 

Mocha Me Crazy. I just adore the sweet graphics in Darcie's stamp sets!

Here is my card for today:

I started with some Doodlebug patterned paper from the Cream and Sugar 

paper pad and covered my card base with it. The little coffee cup and percolator

from the Darcie's Mocha Me Crazy stamp set 

were watercolored with my Zig markers and cut out with my Scan n Cut.

The center white panel was embossed with my large circles embossing folder

and layered on the patterned paper.  I used a banner die from MFT to cut out the

 floral strip under the main images. To finish off my card I stamped the sentiment from 

the same stamp set on to a speech bubble from the Lawn Fawn Chit Chat stamp set and dies.

I just love how this sweet set turned out!

I'll be back again soon with some more caffeinated craftiness in my ICU!

Have a great day,

I already am!

I decided to use that awesome ship stamp from Beach Therapy with
the cute little heart on the sail.  I just love how the sails look all colored up with my
Copic markers. I popped the ship up on the largest die from the
Sweet Cuts Circle Scallop Frames. I picked out some cute stripey patterened
paper for my background and I added the note in the bottle stamp from Ahoy Matey
to the sentiment. The sentiment is from the stamp set released last month
called Mermaid Wishes.

Monkey Shaker Tag

Good morning and welcome back to my blog friends!

I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and I have an adorable 

Monkey Shaker Tag to share with you! 

I am having so much fun using all of the new sprinkles and sequins

in the shop, there are so many to choose from!

I just love making shaker cards and tags! For my project today

I used the Sunny Studios Love Monkey stamp set and Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tags

to create an adorable tag. I started by cutting 

a tag from the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tags in black and white

striped paper and a second one in white for the base of the tag.

Next I took one of the smaller heart dies from the Layered Nesting Heart Dies

and die cut a heart shape from the bottom right side of the tag so I could fill

it with my shaker bits. Before I continued with the shaker element I stamped the 

word "monkey" in Versafine Clair Glamorous Ink at the bottom of the tag

next to the heart cut out. The next step was to cover the back of the heart shape 

up with some Lawn Fawn Acetate and then build up the area around the heart with 

some Brutus Monroe foam tape. After I created the well for my shaker bits I filled it 

with the red hearts from the Heart Sprinkles mix and some sparkly

3 mm Mirrored Solid Heart Confetti.  I just love adding some sparkle to any shaker

card or tag! I added the second tag I cut out in white to the back of my shaker to enclose

all of the shaker bits.  The adorable monkey image was stamped in Gina K Amalgam ink

and colored with my Copic markers. After I colored him I die cut him out with the 

coordinating Sunny Studios Love Monkey dies.

I popped him up on some more Brutus Monroe foam tape for some dimension.

For the sentiment I used Brutus Monroe Alabaster embossing powder to 

heat emboss the sentiment from the Sunny Studios Love Monkey stamp set

on to some black card stock and pop it up on an angle at the top of the tag. 

The finished touch was to thread some red and white bakers twine through 

the hole in the top of the tag.

I just love how this cute tag came out and I love shaking it even more!

Here is a another pic with a few of the Kat Scrappiness supplies used on my tag.

I hope you'll give shaker tags a try! They are so much fun to make and even more

fun to shake! You will feel like a chef in the kitchen picking out the perfect mix

of shaker bits to fill your card or tag!

Cup of Sunshine

Welcome back to my blog and thanks for stopping by!

I'm up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today with 

your daily dose of caffeine in the Intensive Coffee Unit!

Today I have a card to share with you that I am just in love with!

It features the cutest coffee cup die with an inlaid design that just makes me smile.

This coffee cup die is from Paper Smooches and is called Cuppa Sunshine.  

It has the happiest little scene on it featuring an adorable cloud and sun!

I first saw this die from Paper Smooches right here on this blog and 

immediately fell in love with it!  The sentiment is from a matching stamp set 

called Sunnyville and it has great sentiments and more adorable images to go with the theme.

I wanted to do some ink blending on the background so I used 

the largest die from the Waffle Flower Lacy Layers die set to cut out a piece of 

Bristol Smooth card stock. Next I took my Taylored Expressions 

Feathered stencil and did some ink blending with 3 different colors of Distress inks.

I used Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass and Scattered Straw.  I just love how those 

colors look together.  I think it really compliments the colors in the cup. 

I placed my coffee cup and sentiment on to a piece of vellum that was also cut 

from the Waffle Flower Lacy Layers dies to 

soften the background a little bit and make the cup stand out.

I also stamped some cloud images in light pink from the Sunnyville stamp set on the

base of the card for a little extra added interest.

For some sweet finishing touches I added 3 

Kat Scrappiness Pink Heart Sprinkles around the sentiment.

Thanks so much for joining me today in my ICU,

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with some more caffeinated inspiration for you!

Have a great day, I already am!

Mermaid Shaker Tag

Good morning everyone! Today is my son's 14th birthday and I just finished

making a very masculine fishing vest card, so of course it's time for a real girly card!

I am on the The Rabbit Hole Design's blog today and I have a super sparkly 

Mermaid shaker tag for you using the Mermaid Hair stamp set!

This is one of my favorite stamp sets so far, I just love mermaids and anything

sparkly! I also added in some fun Rabbit Hole sequins that come as free gifts

with your orders.  The colors were my inspiration for this card.

I just love the blue and purple colors together for mermaid cards!

The frame of my tag was made using the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies

from Kat Scrappiness and the Aloha scripty word die is from Lawn Fawn.

I made the background of my tag out of vellum so you could really 

appreciate the sequins! I also stamped 2 of the fish images from the 

Mermaid Hair stamp set in the background for a little extra fun!

Here is another pic with all of the Rabbit Hole supplies used.

 card for you using 3 of the dogs from the brand new Doggone (KS or TRHD) stamp set and 

1 of the cats from the Cattitude (KS or TRHD)  stamp set.

The sentiment is also from the Doggone (KS or TRHD) stamp set and goes 

so perfectly with this group of furry friends.

I colored my cats and dogs with my Copic markers and placed them around

Mermaid Love

Hello again and welcome to another mer-mazing day on my blog! 

Today I am up on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog and I have a mer-mazing shaker card to share with you using the newly released stamp set Mermaid Hair. I just love 

that sweet mermaid and she literally 

looks good on any card you put her on.  Since my favorite type of card to make is a shaker card

I knew that's where she belonged.  For my sentiment I used the previously released 

Sofishticated stamp set.  Here are the details for my card.

Card Recipe

• Start with white A2 card base cut to 11 1/2" x 4 1/4" and fold in half at 5 1/2"
• Cut panel of Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock down to 5 1/4" x 4" and dry emboss with scalloped embossing folder.
• Sponge Distress Inks in 3 different colors over embossed panel in Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers, blending where colors overlap. Adhere embossed panel to base of card.
• Die cut scalloped rectangle frame for top of card and back with clear acetate. Once acetate is secure to back of frame, build up foam tape around frame border to house your shaker bits.
• (Optional step) Stamp, color and cut several fish from the Mermaid Hair stamp set and glue in place to embossed panel.  I always like some details not to move around on my shaker cards so they are always in view.
• Next pick out your favorite sequins and shaker bits for the inside of your window.  This is the fun part because you can be creative and pick out a fun assortment of sequins, sprinkles and other fun additions. Spread your mix on to the embossed panel towards the center so you can lay your frame down over the top. The sequins and sprinkles I used are from the Kat Scrappiness sequin shop. (Pink Flower Sprinkles, Purple Flower Sprinkles, Blue Flower Sprinkles, Baby Pink Confetti Mix and Pink Heart Confetti)
• Expose adhesive from foam tape and lay your frame down over the shaker bits making sure to center your frame over your embossed panel.
• Stamp, color and cut your sweet Mermaid and pop her up on foam tape towards the bottom corner of your card and stamp your sentiment from Sofishticated on to a white banner and adhere to top of card. I also added a few of the flower sprinkles from above to my Mermaid's hair for an extra fun touch!

Now try your own shaker card, they are so much fun to make and they are

even more fun to play with once they're put together!

Kangaroo Flip Card

Welcome back to the blog crafty fans! Today I have a special card for you using the new Hoppy for You stamp set from Kat Scrappiness.  This adorable stamp set features the most adorable Kangaroo with her Baby Roo! It also has the cutest little pouch stamp to put baby roo in.  It also contains some small sweet floral images to adorn your Kangaroo cards!

I thought it was only fitting to make a flip card for this new stamp set.

Here is a second picture with the inside of the front panel after it opens.

I followed a video on YouTube to make the basic mechanism for the flip part of the card. 

I used the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies for the bottom panel of the card and the top panels were hand cut into layered rectangles. 

I just love how this card came out and it's so much fun to open and close.

Here is a short clip to show how the card works.

Thanks so much for joining me today!
