Grateful for Family

Good morning crafty friends! It's my day on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog and I have a
sweet card to share with you using the We Are Family stamp set.

I've been loving what the design team has been doing with this
stamp set by using both the mom and dad on a card at the same time.
I thought I'd give it a go for this card.
I'm so glad I did because they are just darling together!

I started out by making a rainbow blended background through
a fun stencil.  I used a black scalloped heart to break up the busy pattern
and to really make the colors pop.
The sentiment from the stamp set "So grateful you are my"
was almost perfect for this card but since I wanted a family
themed card, I searched through my stash of sentiment stamps
until I found the word family.  It was the perfect addition to the
sentiment from the set. I stamped it in black and backed it in white.
I popped the family and sentiment up on foam tape over the heart
and my sweet card was done.
I love how it came out and I hope you do too!

Seaside Seagulls mine mine mine

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog!

Today I decided to play along with the 

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

The sketch is #432 and it looks like this:

I also decided that since this week's theme at the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is 

No Designer Paper I'd play along there too!

I was so excited to win the MFT sketch challenge #430

I bought the adorable Seaside Seagulls stamp set with my 

gift voucher! I also bought the Radiating Rays stencil and I thought

they would pair well together!

I blended 4 different colors of Distress Oxide inks together

and then stenciled some Squeezed Lemonade over the stencil.

I just LOVE the mine mine mine sentiment!

Finding Nemo is one of my favorite movies!

So happy to have time to enter these challenges this week

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day,

I already am!

Hummingbird Love

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog.

Today I have a beautiful card to share with you using some 

sweet Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies.

For my card I used the 

Hummingbird Thanks stamp set with coordinating dies

and the Love Shaker Die.

I started with a square card base made from white card stock

measuring 4" x 4". I then took the largest die from the Kat Scrappiness

Stitched Scalloped Square Dies and cut a panel out with white card stock.

The next step was to use the PPP Love Shaker Die and place it in the center

of the scalloped square die and run it through my Vagabond.

I also used the Love Shaker Die and cut out 4 more pieces

in white card stock so that I could layer those die cuts on top of each other.

Once I glued them all together I had a thick die cut

that was as thick as a chipboard element.

I took some watercolor paper and loosely painted some

Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade.

I trimmed down my watercolor panel to a heart shape to fit behind the 

Love Shaker panel. While I had my watercolor paper and inks

out, I stamped 2 hummingbirds in Gina K Amalgam ink 

and watercolored them with the same 2 distress inks from above.

After I glued my scalloped square on to my card base, I took 

my Love Shaker element with the watercolored piece behind it 

and glued it down to the base as well.

The hummingbirds were mounted with foam tape to the top

and bottom corners of the card.

To finish off the card I used PPP Sparkling Clear Jewels

to add some sparkle and shine.

For the last step I used my Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Pens

to add some glimmer to the hummingbirds and love die cut.

It's hard to catch the glimmer in a photograph but in real life

this card really does sparkle and shine!

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed

my card and will come back soon for more crafty card

inspiration.  You can visit my IG and Facebook accounts

Get Creative Challenge - #79

Hi everyone!  I'm back today with another project for

Get Creative Challenges!

The challenge for April for the pink team is Anything Goes 

and goes from 4/1 - 4/30. 
Thank you to the Etsy shop All Dressed Up for sponsoring the challenge this month! 
They have some adorable digital art, make sure to check them out!
I was so excited to work with the sweet Butterfly Bunny image this month.

I colored that sweet bunny with my copic markers and 

cut her out with my scan n cut machine.

I used a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die from Kat Scrappiness

to layer on to the base of my card and I sponged some Spun Sugar

Distress Oxide ink all over the center of that panel.

Next I took the cute cloud die from Mama Elephant

and inked the edges with some Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

I also added some sparkly Stickles all around the edge of

the cloud and in a few random spots around the card.

After I added the Mama Elephant sentmient with some Papertrey Ink, 

Weathervane Ink, I popped up the bunny and cloud on to 

some foam tape and my card was done.

I love how this card came out, it's so soft and sweet!

Check out what the other DT members have created for you this month!

I hope you'll join us and play along, 

Have a great day everyone!

Spa Day

I haven't played along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday 

challenge in a while but this week the theme is Animal Antics!

How Fun!

I recently bought some ADORABLE La La Land stamps.

There is a set called Relax and Unwind and it has some of the

cutest hippos and chickies in towels and bathrobes that I went crazy for!

I also fell in love with their cute candle and curtain dies!

I decided to make a very girly shaker card for this challenge.

I just love shaker cards with sparkly pink sequins and beads!

Thanks for stopping by today, I am in love with this super cute

card not to mention that adorable hippo in a towel!

Have a great day!

Lovely Florals

Hello again crafty friends!

I love floral cards but I don't make them nearly enough!

I had so much fun playing along with the MFT sketch challenge

last week, I thought I'd play along again!

I was so excited to win last week and I did some fun crafty shopping

(plus a little more)😉 in the MFT store!

What a generous prize!

Today I have some pretty My Favorite Things 

flowers to share with you.

This card was originally made for the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #431

originally but I also noticed that The Card Concept Challenge #112 theme

is Cottage Florals right now so I am entering this card in both challenges.

I used the Watercolor Flowers and the Delicious Birthday stamp sets 

from My Favorite Things for my card.

After playing ink pad roulette for a while, I finally came up

with a combination of colors from Stampin Up and Papertrey Ink

that I liked for the flowers and leaves.

I finished the card off with some pink Nuvo drops.

I love how this card turned out, it's very pink and

dainty, my favorite type of card!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

I already am!

Angie's Digital Stamps April Challenge

Hello again crafty friends!

It's time for another fun challenge over at Angies Digital stamps! 

The design team has created some wonderful projects
for this month's challenge.  

The theme for April is Anything Goes, with an optional Easter twist.

It is challenge #30 and it runs from 4/7/19 - 4/26/19.

Here is my card for this month:

This month I chose to design an Easter card using Angies Easter Basket

digital image and color it with my Copic markers. After I colored the
basket, I cut it out with my scan n cut machine.

I used the Stitched Scalloped Square Dies
from Kat Scrappiness for the background and the Happy Easter
stamp and flowers are from the Sunny Studios Chubby Bunny stamp set.

I love how this card turned out and I hope you'll all play along with us

this month at Angies!

Enjoy your day, I already am!

Happy Little Stampers April ATC Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am back again with the April

Happy Little Stampers ATC challenge.

Every month Happy Little Stampers has an 

ATC challenge and the theme for April is Pretty Papers.  

For anyone who isn't familiar with ATC cards, they are mini

works of art that measure 2.5" x 3.5" and are traded around the world.

Usually they are numbered and signed on the back by the artist.

For my ATC I decided to use a piece of pretty paper from the Julie Nutting

Tag pad.  I fell in love with that muted rose the minute I saw it!

I knew it needed some gold accents so I cut out the word love

from the Kat Scrappiness "I Love You Shadow Dies" in gold foil card stock.

The butterflies are Stampin Up punches and I love how they 

look layered on each other!

I hope you'll play along with us this month

 and enter the ATC challenge at 

Happy Little Stampers!

The winner for this challenge will receive a badge to display on their blog!

Have a great day, I already am!

He Is Risen Eclipse Card and Video

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends! 

Today is my day on the Kat Scrappiness blog and 

 I have a fun Eclipse card to share with you and a video 

to go along with it to show you exactly how I made it!

I have 2 guests in my video today.....

My cat Poppers who refused to get off of my desk for the video

so I let her stay, excuse the cat hair....

My second guest is my daughter Taylor who took over for my 

voiceover about half way through the video.

I was frustrated and tired and she knows so much about 

card making she agreed to help me out!

She has a great sense of humor, I love her take on card making!

Now on to the card.

This card measures 4" x 4" and features the eclipse technique.

I started out with a panel cut from the Square Zig Zag dies to stamp on.

I stamped those lovely pastel brush strokes from the 

Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and then I used the He Is Risen

trio of crosses die to cut out a focal point.

I also cut that beautiful trio of crosses out 4 more times in 

aqua card stock to layer under the stamped die cut.

Once I layered the "built up" trio of crosses back on to the panel,

they really stood in a very subtle way giving that classic

eclipse look to the card.

Sparkling Clear Jewels gave a nice finishing touch to this card!

It's much easier to understand in a video so you can check out

my video here or on YouTube.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and I hope it inspires you 

to make your own eclipse card!  Also please consider joining the monthly

card challenge over at Kat Scrappiness. The theme is "Pastel" and 

you can check out this post for more details.

Happily Ever After Times 2

Good morning crafty friends! It's my day on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog and I have 2 

classy cards to share with you using the Happily Ever After stamp set.

I'm so smitten with these stamps and I had an idea for a card

using the sweet images and some really pretty flowers.

For my first card I used the Watercolored Stripes Cover Die 

from Altenew for the background.

I love the thick uneven stripes on this die!

I cut it out in black card stock and adhered it to a white card base.  

I wanted a black and white background 

so that the pretty red roses would really stand out.

I colored the sweet couple from Happily Ever After with my Copic markers 

and cut them out with my scan n cut machine.

I watercolored and cut out several roses and leaves from the Altenew 

Rose Flurries 3-D die set and arranged them in a bouquet

in the top left corner. I popped my sweet couple up on foam tape in the

bottom right corner and added a few Kat Scrappiness 

Clear Jewels for some sparkle and shine.

For my sentiment I added a large "Love" die cut in 

silver foil layered on a vellum background.

This beautiful die is from the Kat Scrappiness I Love You Shadow Dies.

For my second card I used the same couple but with a much lighter

and softer background. I used the Linked Circles Cover Panel from Reverse Confetti.

Instead of cutting it out, I decided to emboss it this time. 

I love the subtle texture it gives to a card background. 

I colored the couple with my Copic markers and

sent them to the scan n cut once again. For my flowers on this card I used the 

Altenew Rose Flurries 3-D die set again. For this card I used 

smaller roses in a simple cluster at the top middle of the card.

I added the same Kat Scrappiness Clear Jewels for shine and I embossed the sentiment

from Happily Ever After on to a piece of vellum at the bottom of the card.

One stamp set with 2 very different looks!

I hope you enjoyed my 2 cards today, I'd love to know 

which card you liked best!

You Mocha Me Crazy

Hello crafty friends, I have another design team project for 

KaDoodle Bug Designs! Today I made a super cute shaker tag using 

an image from the Valentine Frappuccino Cutie file.

I am totally in love the that cute frap and her big eyes!

I used a Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tag from Kat Scrappiness for the base.

I die cut 2 tags at the same time inside of one another to get the frame 

for the shaker. I cut the larger tag a second time from pink polka dot 

paper from Papertrey Ink for the back of the tag.

All the pretty sequins inside of the tag are from the 

Kat Scrappiness sequin shop!

I used at least 3 different pink mixes to get some real sparkle!

The heart banner at the top is from Jaded Blossom and it is called

Banner Dies. These banners are so cute because they come with the 

banner and the nesting shape for inside!

A few Kat Scrappiness Pink Jewels and some Stickles 

on the hearts and this tag was done and CUTE!

The sentiment is also from the KaDoodle Bug file where I 

got the cup and I matted it on some pink paper.

Tag You're It Challenge #84

I found a new challenge today from my friend Amy 

that I think I'm really going to enjoy!

It's called the Tag You're It Challenge and it's a challenge

devoted to making tags with different themes.

Although I love making cards, I really enjoy 

making tags even more because they are quick and easy 

to throw together and they are mini versions of cards.

It just so happens that this week the TYIC theme is coffee.

I recently started designing for The Rabbit Hole Designs and

I knew their caffeinated critters would be the perfect stamps

to use for this challenge! The Caffeinated Bee was waiting on my desk

for a home and I found one!

I used a coffee bean stencil for the background of my tag and

a sentiment from a Technique Tuesday stamp set.

It actually came together pretty quickly and I love 

how it turned out!

I'll definitely be playing along with this challenge again!

Thanks for "buzzing" by today! 

Enjoy your day, I already am!

Happy Little Stampers April Watercolour Challenge

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to another Watercolour challenge

over at the Happy Little Stampers blog!

This month the theme is anything goes with an optional "Bright" twist.
Here is my card for this month.

After I made my card I realized that the twist this month was Bright.
Since I loved my card so much I decided to use it anyway.
It's not very bright but I do love the muted colors.

I used some gorgeous watercolor flowers from a fabulous 

website called Angie Makes.

She has some free clipart as well as some beautiful watercolor

clipart for sale.  I printed that beautiful flower out and cut it out

with my scan and cut.

I layered it on to some pretty gingham paper from Papertrey Ink

and a Stitched Hex Tag die from Reverse Confetti.

The Thank You word die is from Heidi Swapp.

Watercoloring is one of my loves but I'm not always very good

at it.  Using the pre-painted flowers is a fun way to still get that

whimsical look on your cards!

Come join us for the Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge this month!

We want to see your watercolor projects.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get some free crafty time today!

Have a great day, I already am!

Easter Shaker Notecards

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog!
I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and I have a fun trio of shaker notecards

to share with you using the newly released Easter edition of the 

Crafter's Essentials dies. This is a fun set that features several different dies

perfect for Easter and Spring themed cards!

Here is a picture of all the dies that come with this set:

I used the bunny, chick and cracked egg to make 3 adorable shaker notecards.

The Easter themed sequin mixes and Doodlebug patterned paper

were the perfect accessories for these cards!

The first card was made using the bunny die from the set.

I cut a card base out of card stock measuring 4" x 8 " and scored it at 4".

I used a piece of patterned paper from the Hoppy Easter paper pack

cut to 4" x 4" to cover the card base.

I then took a piece of white card stock and cut out a panel 

with the second largest Square Zig Zag die. 

I placed the bunny die in the center of that Zig Zag square 

and ran it through my Vagabond.

That left the negative shape of the bunny in the panel which I then 

backed with acetate to form my shaker window.

To make the foam tape curve around the back of the bunny 

I snipped small lines half way into the tape so that it would bend

easily and not warp the paper.

For the bunny shaker I used 3 different sequin mixes:

Pink 3 mm Solid Star confetti mix

Yellow 3 mm Solid Star confetti mix

3 mm Mirrored Clear Hollow Stars

It's so much fun to see the mix of sequins and confetti shaking around.

For the sentiment I stamped on a Stitched Flag Die and used the same

patterned paper to back it with a larger Flag die.

I also decorated the flag with a few stars from the shaker mix.

Next up is the chick card.  The basic assembly of the card is just 

like the bunny card except I used different patterned paper and sequins.

The patterned paper is also from the Doodlebug Hoppy Easter paper pack

and the sequin mix is called Chicken or the Egg?

I just love the little yellow chick that's included in this mix! 

I tucked one of them behind the sentiment flag.

The last card I have to share with you is the cracked egg card.  

Again the basic assembly is as explained in the bunny card above.

The patterned paper for this card is from the Doodlebug Simply Spring paper pack

and the sequin mix is called Easter Egg Parade!

The tiny die cut Easter eggs in this mix are just too cute!

These cards were so much fun to make! You can really get creative with the

patterned papers and different sequin mixes, there's so many fun combinations!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #430

Hello crafty friends and welcome to my blog!

Today I decided to play along with the 

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

The sketch is #430 and it looks like this:

For my card I wanted to use those adorable piggies from the Hog Heaven stamp set.

I thought they would look good spread across the card to match the sketch!

I placed them on some washi tape to match the sketch and finished off the card with 

a sentiment from the same stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment on to an MFT Speech Bubble die cut and positioned it under

the middle piggie so he could have a place to rest his arms.

Thanks for stopping by today, so glad I got to play along this week!

Have a great day, I already am!

I'm headed down The Rabbit Hole!🐰🐰🐰

Hello blog travelers!

If you've stopped by my blog today than I have some exciting news to share!

As some of you may or may not know, I've been guest designing for

a new stamp company this past month called

The Rabbit Hole Designs.

I have been enjoying myself so much using their 

fun and quirky stamp sets!

As luck would have it they have asked me to stay on as a 

full time designer and I happily jumped at the chance!

Along with welcoming me to their team, The Rabbit Hole has announced
 the winners for the recent blog hop today.
Head over and take a peek to see if you're a winner!

To celebrate joining the team

I thought I'd share a few of my favorite cards that I made

using some of the new stamps in The Rabbit Hole shop!

If you haven't checked this new company out

than what are you waiting for?

You won't be disappointed and WAIT til you see what they 

have in store in the next few months, don't be left out!

Here is a card using the brand new stamp set

Happily Ever After

This stamp set is perfect for all of you wedding card needs!

The next card uses the Caffeinated Cat stamp set and I made

a fun shaker card with that tired feline.

Click here to see the video I made showing how 

to put this card together.

The next card I have to share with you is also a shaker card that I made 

using the Caffeinated Crab stamp set. I thought it would be fun to add some

actual beach sand to the inside of this card.

The last 2 cards I want to share with you feature the Caffeinated Octopus

and Caffeinated Dino stamp sets.

I had so much fun making these interactive wiper cards!
