Embellished

Hello!! I hope you all had a great weekend!! It’s mine and my hubby’s 7 yr. anniversary today! I can’t believe it’s been that long! Time flies when you’re having fun! lol.  My friend Rachel came over last night and we made some cards! It was a blast! I made him a card with an awesome new golf Inka stamp I got, but it really didn’t turn out very well. I think he’ll still like it though…I hope!  Since it didn’t work out very well I thought I’d share another card I made this weekend!

I love this new Street Market line by My Minds Eye. I went to a local scrapbook store called the Paper Cottage the other day and they had it there!! WOW..that company is just trouble! Thank you so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful day!!

 I hope you all have fun plans for this weekend!! Fun plans for me would be to have a card making marathon…maybe I can at least make 2!  That’s my goal! :) 

I didn’t plan on using these items together on this card, but I had the paper and the stamp set out and though what the heck! I ended up liking it! I hope you do too! I used the new Crate Paper, Sweet Branch paper and die cuts and my darling Ooh La La Lizzie Anne Stamp! I love the way the stamps and the paper worked together! This is a little card. It’s 2 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ I thought I would be different!

It’s Scenic Route, I though it was darling so I paired the 2 together! The film strip is the new Daisy D tape runner rubon’s! I LOOOOVE those things! I ran it on a white piece of paper and adhered it. The lined paper came in the paper pack. I thought it would be fun to stamp the merci on it! I hope you enjoy!

Hello!! Hope you’re all having a great day! Hope you didn’t get pinched yesterday! I FINALLY Made time yesterday to stamp a card! I HAD to try out the new Glimmer Screens. It was so fun! You just lay the stencil down on your paper, spray the glimmer mist (Let dry for a sec, so you don’t smear it when you take off the stencil….trial and error lol) Then cut and use! I used the Pink Ink glimmer mist (it’s on order) and used it as the main background piece on the card! I had some scraps of the sprayed paper and that’s what I used for the butterfly! It’s so sparkly and pretty in person, but it never show’s in pictures.

I think this is one of those cards that I could have left it alone 10 layers/embellishments ago but I just kept adding! I haven’t made many cards these past weeks and have so many new products I wanted to use. I used the new Wonder Years paper by Daisy D as well as the Rub-on Transfer tape Film Strip. I just love those! I LOVE this new Patterned Bugs set by Inkadinkado too! I love it all! lol. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Hello!! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you’re all wearing green! My little guy needed to make a Leprechaun trap for his preschool today. When I first heard this I was a little scared to say the least lol. But then my mom reminded me that I could just decorate something! So I did! My friend Rachel and I went out to Archivers and Craft Warehouse and found some DARLING paper, embellies and a clear paint can. I figured that will work, if he catches a Leprechaun he can just put the lid on it! It was so cute…when we were making it he suggested we make some stairs so they could get IN the pail! So cute!

This was really easy to make. I just cut the paper to size for the inside. Added the NEW Queen and Company Shamrock feltto the top and slipped it in. Then on the outside, I added some thick white velvet ribbon and some green shiny pipe cleaner for some shine! (that’s what I wrapped the handle with too) On the top I put some other shiny shamrock paper on it an more pipe cleaner to fill a gap in the lid. I then added the adorable EK Success pot of gold! Since I already had the paper out I decided to make a quick card! Here it is!

All main images are EK Success, Ribbon (May Arts) Brads (Stampin’ Up!) Shamrock and Striped paper (Reminisce) Polkadot Paper (Creative Imaginations)

Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week!! I am hoping to get more organized this weekend so I can peacefully make a card. Make one and NOT have to search through 10 boxes to find my ink and paper lol!! In the meantime, I don’t believe I ever told you that I am on the home page of CardMaker Magazine! I am just below the pic of the cover (which my dear friend Michele’s card is front and center! WAHOO) That’s my little bunny card they used as their online project! You can click HERE to see!

Hello!! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I was to MAKE A CARD last night!! I almost forgot how! It was scary! The hardest part was trying to figure out WHICH new gorgeous Cosmo Cricket paper pack I was going to use! I went with the sweet Honey Pie paper. I already had this butterfly stamp out from doing my Inkadinkado web project, so  it was fitting to use this butterfly piece from the Journaling cards to match!

——

Some of you emailed me saying that when you tried to use your credit card at my store it was giving you an error code. This has finally been fixed, so you should be good to go! Thanks so much for all your support in my move of home and store!
