WPlus9 / Guest Artist

Hello again!  I am SO excited to be a guest artist for WPlus9. I have had a love for WPlus9 for many years and only dreamt of being able to share a project on the WPlus9 blog! Today I have a layered floral card to share featuring the new, beautifully detailed Modern Anemones stamps and die.

Here's a snippet of my card that you can see in full over on the WPlus9 blog HERE.  I'd love for you to check it out!!

SugarPea Designs / Breakfast in Bed

Hello!  I am here with a spring inspired card using one of my favorite sets from the last release from SugarPea Designs called Breakfast in Bed.

To keep this clean and simple, I went with black heat embossing the tulip images and creating a wreath around a stitched die cut circle from Beautiful Bauble.  My tulips were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers……the colors are so vibrant!  I stamped my sentiment on the circle and added it with foam adhesive.  My tulips were arranged around the sentiment with foam adhesive and a few clear sequins completed my card.

Avery Elle / Extraordinary

Hello!  I am sharing a card that can be seen over on the Avery Elle blog today using Extraordinary.

I've used a small but mighty stamp set called Extraordinary along with it's coordinating dies.  I Copic colored my image with Warm Gray Copics and mounted onto a gray Double Pierced Circles Elle-ments.  I think the best thing about this card is the AMAZING background die called Waves Elle-ments.  Some clear dew drops were scattered to resemble water bubbles.  

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Avery Elle / Cool Treats

Hello!  I am sharing a card that can be seen over on the Avery Elle blog today using Cool Treats.

In the new set, Cool Treats, there are so many cute treat images that I thought I would do some emboss resist.  I stamped all the images in Versamark and white heat embossed.  Next I blended in Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass, and Milled Lavender Distress Inks.  I die cut this panel with the Pierced Banner Layers Elle-ments.  For the focal point, I Copic colored my favorite 3 images and added them with foam adhesive over a black strip stamped/heat embossed with the sentiment.

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Reverse Confetti / SFYTT

 

Hello!  I am here sharing a card using the current SFYTT (Sketch For You to Try) over at the Reverse Confetti blog.  Check out the SFYTT post......HERE for all the details!

At first, I wasn't sure what to do with this month's SFYTT (Sketch for You to Try) so I pulled out the newest paper pad, Pattern Play, for some inspiration.  After settling on this pattern paper for it's colors, I pulled out the Figure of Speech stamps and coordinating Confetti Cuts.  These were stamped with Piggy Bank, Lime Green, and Baby Blue premium dye ink from Reverse Confetti.  The bubbles were die cut and added with foam tape over a strip of arrows from one of the patterns from Pattern Play.  I love how it resembles Washi.....it finished the card perfectly!

Now the best part is.......there is always a winner every month!  Here are the details:

The winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of each month.

So let's see your Reverse Confetti creations this month.....you still have time to get it done!

Since the end of school is near, I thought I'd knock out a teacher card using Sweet Sentiments Teacher.  I started by stamping my background with the apple image alternating between red and green inks.  My sentiment was stamped onto a stitched circle from Beautiful Bauble.  I love the mix of fonts!  A layered die cut apple from Teacher SugarCut was added for dimension.  To finish, I added my circle sentiment onto a die cut black Zig Zag Stiched Circle.

Pretty Pink Posh May Product Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the May Release Blog Hop for Pretty Pink Posh!  The new products were released May 1st and are just fantastic!  Some of my favorites to date!  (because now I have some PPP florals to play with!!)

My first card uses the new Bold Blooms stamps and coordinating dies.  Oh how I LOVE this set!  I stamped, black heat embossed all the images, and die cut them out.  To color my blooms, I used Gansai Tambi Watercolors.  

For my layout, I've used the new Scallop Borders 2 Dies.  I used the point the border gave as a place to not only arrange my blooms but to stamp the sentiment as well.  After arranging the blooms and stamping the sentiment, I added this panel to a white top folding notecard that I added some black polka dot paper.  As a last finishing touch, I added some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

***********************************************************

My next card uses the tiny but super adorable set called Happy Owls.  There are so many cute details in this set!  I decided to stamp the smaller of the two owls in blue and pink.  Since this is a wedding card, I decided to create a shaker card but using tulle layered over the traditional acetate. 

 

To create my shaker window, I've used the new Scallop Circle Tags Dies.  These dies are just perfect for that elegant touch to a shaker card!  I filled the shaker with Spring Meadow Sequins Mix and Mini Sparkling Clear Flower Sequins.  I love the two mixed together!  The sentiment was white heat embossed onto a light gray pattern paper and die cut.  In real life, it is very elegant although it looks very washed out here.  And last....a few Sparkling Clear Confetti was added.

Here's the full list of blogs for today's hop......make sure to visit each as there are 2- $25 gift certificates up for grabs for today's hop!  Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop.  Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 5/17/2017.  Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.
