Greatest Adventure has fantastic images for a masculine themed card.  (perfect for my hubby's birthday this coming week, however, I will have to color the jeep purple to match his!)  The image was stamped onto a 2.25" panel and Copic colored.  This panel was added with foam adhesive to a white note card that was ink blended with one of the new stencils from this release! 

Prizes: 2 lucky commenters will win a $50 gift code to use in the ELC shop. Winners will be announced on the Monday, October 26 blog post. Comment on everyone's blog or IG for a greater chance to win!

Erin Lee Creative / Look on the Bright Side Kit Release / Blog Hop

 

Hello!  

I'm excited to be sharing a project for Erin Lee Creative along with the fabulous Design Team to show off the addition of some rainbows with the new 

"Look on the Bright Side Kit".  This kit is meant to coordinate with the previous kit.......Somewhere.

Kit price:  $36.99

Add on Rainbow Alpha:  $19

***Shop for Erin Lee Creative HERE***

My first card uses a fun color combination for a rainbow.  I saw this color combo on a shirt recently and made a mental note to use them on a project!  

Using the new Rainbow die in the kit, the colors were die cut and pieced together.  TIP--I cut a free hand "rainbow" smaller than the die, trimmed out, and used this to adhere my rainbow pieces to.  Much easier!  The stencil from the kit was ink blended with a light gray ink and the rainbow was added over the top with foam adhesive.  A bold black sentiment from Rainbow Sentiments 2 was stamped and the corners were rounded for a different look.

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

My second card uses the solid rainbow stamp from Still I Rise stamped in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink.  Each "ray" was masked off with Post-it notes and Copic markers were blended upward using flicks of the hand.  I chose to leave the flowers uncolored since the rainbow was taking center stage.  Finally, the sentiment was stamped below.......I love this sentiment!!!

Erin Lee Creative / August Release / Blog Hop

 

Hello!

  I am happy to be a part of the new release Blog Hop for Erin Lee Creative!  Erin has come up with a fabulous release......look at all the new products that have just been released!  Being from Kansas, some of these just call to me!  

****Shop for all Erin Lee Creative HERE****

I had fun playing with the Boho Rainbow stamps in these fun colors!  Boho has become quite the trend in home decor.  My daughter has embraced it well!  ☺

I used a variety of companies inks for my color palette here......some Stampin' Up and Altenew.  The rainbows were stamped across a panel and then trimmed down.  For a bit of dimension, the sentiment was white heat embossed onto Navy cardstock and added with foam adhesive.  A few gold gems were added to continue the "boho" feel.

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

When I think of Kansas, I think of Sunflowers and Wheat.  The rolling wheat fields are truly beautiful.  

 

This amazing wheat border stamp is from No Place Like Home......fitting, right?  The wheat was stamped at the bottom of a Broken China ink blended panel that clouds were stenciled in using one of the stencils from the Somewhere Kit.  To keep this simple, a black sentiment strip with a white heat embossed sentiment was added to ground the wheat image.

Erin Lee Creative / Peace Love & Happiness Kit

Hello!  

Did you all see the newest kit from Erin Lee Creative?

  Peace Love & Happiness landed in her shop on July 1 and it's fantastic!

***SHOP FOR ERIN LEE CREATIVE HERE***

I have FOUR cards to share using the kit and the add-ons you can purchase separately.

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

I'm going to start with the lower right because that's my favorite of the bunch.  This is a fabulous retro stencil included in the kit along with a sentiment from Smiley Floral.  I used a retro color palette of Distress Inks and masked off each one and then stamped the sentiment.  To make it really stand out, each side was trimmed and the panel was added with foam adhesive.  

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

The next card uses the other retro stencil included in the kit.  I again used Distress Inks in a circle pattern to create color.  The sentiment is an add-on and looks amazing with a vellum bubble layer behind the bold black.

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

The next card uses the Retro Floral Background stamp.  I've black heat embossed and colored using my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers for a loose watercolor.  To finish, a simple sentiment strip was adhered across the center.

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

The final card uses the other add-on for the kit......Retro Swirls Die.  I originally cut this out of rainbow cardstocks but ended up with this retro red, orange, and yellow stunner.  The sentiment is from the Kind People stamp set included in the kit.  

There is SO MUCH that you can do with this kit!  I will have more to share later!!

Erin Lee Creative / March Release / Blog Hop

Welcome!  

I am so excited to help my friend Erin of Erin Lee Creative with her latest release.   The release was actually released early over the weekend!  There is an inspiration blog hop today that is listed below.......Let's have some fun!

I had so much fun with the Sweet Succulents Bundle.  I created some purple succulents as these are the kind I remember my grandma having in her huge iron kettle pot in her front flower bed.

I started with the new Houndstooth Stencil.  Scattered Straw Distress Ink was lightly blended over a panel of cardstock.  I added in my die cut stamped succulents and leaves adding in some dimension with foam adhesive.  The 'congratulations' sentiment is from the new set Small Script.  A few white gems finish my card!

Erin Lee Creative / January Release / Blog Hop

 

Welcome!  

I am so excited to help my friend Erin of Erin Lee Creative with her latest release.   The release was on Friday and is fabulous!  There is an inspiration blog hop today that is listed below.......Let's have some fun!

I love the Triangle Collage Die.  I love when I get a two-fer out of a die.

For my first card, I started by ink blending Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks onto a panel of cardstock.  Using the the die TWICE, created all those colorful triangles from the ink blended cardstock.  I added double stacked triangle outlines twice onto my card front right justified and then simply pieced the colored triangles back into place.  I trimmed off the excess with my scissors.  I stamped one simple sentiment, from Oh Em Gee, in black ink.

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

My second card uses one of the outlines die cut for my first card.  I adhered it to the top of my card and pieced in various colored triangles (cut from the extra ink blended cardstock) and left some blank.  The Oh Em Gee sentiment was stamped in bold black ink.  

I added a small sentiment strip with "Let's Party" cut at an angle with foam adhesive and added a few scattered silver gems.

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

There will be 2 (two) $25 gift certificate winners chosen and posted on Saturday, February 1 from various blogs.

Erin Lee Creative / Launch Blog Hop / Giveaway

 

Hello!  I am so excited to help celebrate the launch of Erin Lee Creative!  Erin has been a crafty friend for many years and I'm so thrilled for her and her new company!  I had the opportunity to play around with her designs prior to release and just wait!  She has so many fun things to come!

I ADORE snowman images and this one is adorable with it's carrot nose!  Since #rainbowallthethings has become fashionable, I gave my snowman, from Koko Girl Snowman, a rainbow scarf colored with Copics.  After diecutting my snowman, the image was layered over a snowy hill and ink blended sky (done with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink).  I added a panel cut with a standard circle die over the top of my snowman to create my scene.  As final touches, I added lots of Crystal Stickles as "snow".

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

This kitten, from Koko Girl Couch Stamp Set, was just too cute not to use!  The rug and kitten were Copic colored and die cut using coordinating dies.  White accents were done with a fine tip paint pen.  To a white cardstock notecard, the Wreath Stencil was sponged on using Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink.  I added my images with foam adhesive and rounded the corners of my notecard.
