Hi all! I have a card for a couple challenges today:
This is a digi image from Sweet Escape Digis called Happy Mail. I colored her with Copics and cut her out with a .04” shadow using my ScanNCut. She was popped up on foam tape and the sentiment is from Word Salad.
This is for MarkerPop – Anything Goes (and colored with markers) and SSS Wednesday Challenge – Anything Goes. I hope you like it and TFL!
Hi all! I live in Hawaii, so to me it was a given that I would have to have Birdie Brown’s Polynesian Paradise. Here’s my first card made with this adorable set:
I am absolutely LOVING on this little guy! I’ve been playing with him for days and finally managed to get him on a card!
I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored just the body with Copics. Then I overstamped (using my MISTI) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stamped him again on MFT plaid paper with Onyx Black and cut out just the shell. I shaped the shell and attached it with a foam dot.
I stamped the sentiment (also from the set) using my MISTI and Onyx Black ink (had to stamp it twice to get it perfect) and then mounted the little guy over the sentiment with thin foam tape.
This is for CAS-ology – Plaid and MarkerPop – Anything Goes (colored with markers). I hope you like it and TFL!
Hi all! I’ve got a card for a few challenges today:
I used the gorgeous digi image Sunflower Power with its matching sentiment. I just opened up an A2 sized canvas in Photoshop Elements and put in the image off the side and the sentiment in the bottom corner. I saved as a JPG and printed out from Word.
I colored the sunflower with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and just a little water. It’s amazing how vibrant the colors came out! Finally, I shabbied up the panel by distressing the edges with scissors and sponging Distress Ink around the edges. I added a thin strip of lace to the back and called it a day.
Here’s a video:

This is for the following challenges:

Hi all! Today I have a Stampin’ Up! card to share with you:
I used the set Butterfly Basics, Vanilla cardstock and inks from SU! I stamped (with the help of my MISTI) the yellow airmail motif and the sentiment directly on the card base. Then I stamped the fern image on a separate piece of vanilla CS. Then I cut it out. NO, not by hand! With my new ScanNCut machine from Brother.
I got a great deal on it recently so I had to go for it! I’m planning on using it mainly for stamping images and then cutting them out – that means I don’t need to buy matching dies for all my stamps. Or in this case, there isn’t even a matching die! So far it’s working great and I’ll have more info about it in later blog posts and possibly even videos.
I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

Hi all! It’s that time of month – the Your Next Stamp DT Dare! This month our Dare was to make a shaker card. Here’s what I came up with:
Instead of making a “traditional” shaker, I used the new 3x3 Envelope Die to make an envelope out of plastic to be my shaker element. The sentiment is from Balloon Buddies and I also used the Stitched Square Die Set.
Here’s a video on the making of the card:
And here’s THE LINK in case you can’t see the video player above.
Please check out the YNS Blog for all the shaker fun from the DT. And while you’re there, don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win the stamp set of your choice! TFL!
