Neat & Tangled May Release: Sunday School Songs

Welcome to the Neat & Tangled May new release!  We have some amazing inspiration from the entire design team!

Today we are sharing a new stamp set called Sunday School Songs.  I totally remember these songs from my childhood Sunday School!  

I completely went CAS for this card.  I wanted the true meaning of the song to ring out!!!

I stamped the song lyric in Memento Tuxedo Black and very carefully colored in the tiny outlined areas with Copics R27 and R29.  One diecut heart was sprayed with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz and adhered with foam adhesive.  

That's all for today but make sure to check out the Neat & Tangled blog for full reveal of the DT projects and prizes!!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Neat & Tangled May Release: Photo Booth

Welcome to the Neat & Tangled May new release!  We have some amazing inspiration from the entire design team!

Today we are sharing a new stamp set called Photo Booth.  It's a great set to make filmstrip type embellishments for your cards or layouts.  

I started by inking up the filmstrip image with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I love how it stamped kind of distressed.  Then I stamped some of the included images in fun colors.  My sentiment was made by stamping the words and trimming.  These were foam mounted at angles for interest.

That's all for today but make sure to check out the Neat & Tangled blog for full reveal of the DT projects and prizes!!

Masculine card....

Hi everyone!  Did you enjoy the BIG Blog Hop for Simon Says Stamp yesterday?  I know I did.....so many new products and the Blog Hop showed them off in so many amazing ways!  Made my wish list longer!!  :)  Click HERE and hop along for prizes!!!

I'm here with a card that I think would be a perfect "masculine" graduation card.  I've used the Travel 1 stamp set from Whimsy Stamps along with the coordinating die.  

 

I love using this technique to stamp on a diecut and then layer several together and inlay it over the same stamped image on the paper.  It's a fun and easy technique!!!

 

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Simon Says Stamp Pure Sunshine Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Pure Sunshine Release Blog Hop from Simon Says Stamp!  There are so many new products releasing today.......stamps, dies, and stencils.  I have many favorites among the new products and I'll share a few at the end of this post!  Remember you can use my link on my sidebar to go shopping if you see something you like!  :)  ------------->>>>>>

I am so excited to share my project for the Pure Sunshine Release......You can check out all the new stamps/dies/stencils HERE!  But first.....you must hop along because there are goody bags up for grabs!

I used the Bubble Parade Die to create a rainbow effect on the die with Copics.  I started by scribbling the Copic colors I wanted onto white cardstock, blending them as I went across my paper.  The Bubble Parade Die was then diecut from this paper.....giving my diecut a rainbow effect.  (below is a sample.....the actual scribbled area was much longer to accomodate the full die)

Copics: R27, YR68. Y35, YG67, B24, V06

My background circles were left over from diecutting the Bubble Parade Die multiple times.  Those circles were colored in with the Copics listed above and layered behind the Bubble Parade Die which was die cut several times and glued together for dimension.

I love the handwritten look to the font in the Thought Bubble stamp set (hint.....there are coordinating dies for that set and I'm in LOVE!)  I did have to cut apart a stamp to make my sentiment here :)  As a last detail, I added lots of Sparkling Clear 4mm/6mm Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  These are my FAVORITE sequins!!!!  

 

Did I mention "goody bags"?  Yes!  Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a goody bag to one commenter on every blog in the hop.  That's 15 different chances to win!  So leave your comments!!!  The giveaways for the goody bags will close at 6:00pm EST on Thursday May 22, 2014.

So sit back and enjoy the hop!!  It's Friday!

We have a fabulous new sponsor, The Cat's Pajamas, for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Pajama Party!  The LEAD of this challenge will receive a $25 gift code to The Cat's Pajamas!

I used the Chevron Background die to tie into the whole banner/chevron feel to the inspiration photo.  I think my favorite part of this card is that sentiment from Sassy Birthday!
"growing up is optional" :)

Of course to add a little bling and fun.....some mini 4mm Gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!

CASology: Splash

Hi everyone!  Sorry I've been MIA.....took some blogging and crafting time off over Mother's Day weekend.  It was a weekend of beautiful weather so I mostly spent it outside at my kids softball/baseball games.  I am so proud of them....both teams are doing really well!

I had a little time to create last night and wanted to share this card I made for the current CASology challenge: Splash.  

Using some new products from Reverse Confetti (did you know they celebrated their 1st birthday last week?  They did.....go check them out :) ), I created a little underwater scene for this adorable submarine image from Here We Go.  I used the Doin' the Wave Confetti Cuts for my waves/water.....this die is so much fun!!!  I love how clear stamps can be curved to be able to stamp them anywhere.....here I've curved my sentiment over the top wave.

 Thanks so much for sharing a part of your day with me!

Hello sunshine!

Wahoo.....I'm glad it's Friday.....it's been a rough week.  I still have my ongoing shoulder arm pain with entire arm numbness when I bend over so it makes it very hard to work.  Also related to work, I had some disappointing news yesterday.  :(

So let's get to what makes me happy today:   a sunshiny card!  Last week I used this HELLO die and this week I've used the Hello stamp from the Happy Hello stamp set.  I love this font and what better is that there is BOTH a stamp and die from Whimsy Stamps!  I couldn't resist adding in some layered sequins from Pretty Pink Posh in Lemon Meringue and Sparkling Clear.  

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!
