So Thankful

Feeling thankful for my family and friends to today. Today I featured a stamp set called S’more the Merrier. Lawn Fawn and Ellen Huston joined together to create this stamp set. In addition, I also used Jump for Joy by Lawn Fawn to create the leafs and the sentiment.

The background was created with distress ink using Picket Fences blender brushes. I am enjoyed how smooth the distress oxide ink feels on Neenah paper Solar White paper. Its important to remember to use a heavy weight paper like 110lb because it can support ink and it will not tear.

Happy Halloween

With three more days till Halloween I thought I would do one more card to celebrate the season. I am wishing everyone a safe and healthy Halloween.

In case you are wondering what water colors I used. I purchased Hand Made Modern water colors from Target. (link provided) The water colors are super affordable. In addition, they come in a wooden box with 24 pans and two brushes. They are not a professional grade but I liked them all the same.

Also I used Martha Stewart Onyx and Sterling glitter as embellishments for the shaker card. Recollections has microbeads set and I used only ebony and silver. You can find these gems at any Michaels.

If you are interested in purchasing any card featured in this blog, let me know. All proceeds will be donated to Ocean Conservancy. My favorite place to be is on the beach and I want to help keep it clean and do all I can to maintain our oceans.

For You

Outside In Stitched Pumpkin and Stitched Pumpkin Frame are beautiful die cuts. The card does not have anything surrounding it because less is more. Its a strong statement to make. I wanted to show how the pretty the sequins from Little Things From Lucy’s Cards are. (link included) I used Muted Metallics. When I went to research the link, I could not find Muted Metallics but they do have metallics. The embellishments from Little Things From Lucy’s Cards are gorgeous. I highly recommend visiting her website.



Included is a quick video to show how slider card works.

Wishing You a Beautiful Birthday

My children’s friends are the exact kids I would have been friends with if I were their age. I am so thankful for their friendship and the families that we have gotten to know over the years. This card is for a friend of my daughter’s who will be turning 12 years old.

If you have been following my blog, you know that I made another card using a die cut called Acorn House by Lawn Fawn. However, after watching Jennifer Mc Guire’s video on DIY Pop-Up Slider Cards -No Special Dies Needed, I thought I would give the pop-up slider cards a try. The link is included in case you would like to watch how Jennifer makes her own pop-up slider card.

Here is my results.

Quick video to see how it works.

Lawnfawnatics- Challenge 84 “Back to School”

I loved school and still do. I think part of that love was fostered by my teachers who cared and were kind to me. In addition, my teachers were supper supportive and inspired me to do my best. I gave my card a 80’s feel by coloring it in color pencils ( using Prismacolor Premier 150 count color pencils ) and kraft paper. The stamps sets are from Lawn Fawn: Wild for You and Science of Love. The cute letters are Lawn Fawn’s Quinn’s ABCs. You can see the border has sewing pattern because I used Lawn Fawn’s Large Slimline with Sliders however no sliders were used in the card, thats just the name of the die cut. Lastly, to get the heart that glossy look I used Ranger’s Glossy Accents.
