Wherever You Go Sparkle

Good morning to you all in blogland. 

I have a fabulous card to share with you today. So today yes this is a sparkle card. It is so hard to not use this Sparkle MFT stamp set over and over. 

I embossed paper with gold detail and just really made a bang. I am sure looking at this now it would have been easier to just buy some gold glitter paper. I did use a lot of embossing powder but I love the outcome. 

Items Used:

MFT Stamps - You Were Meant to Sparkle

MFT Die-namics - Sequins Die Set

Versamark Watermark Ink Pad

Down on the Farm

Hey all you lovely crafters out there. Today there is a new challenge over at The Inky Chicks. 

Iam so excited about the theme because I got to use a stamp I have had ready for a while but never sure what to use it on. Well here she is! 

The theme this challenge is "Down on the Farm"

Now I don't know about you, but I love little baby pigs. They are so cute. Wish I could have one but I wouldn't know what to do with it.  Not sure how you train those things and I heard keeping them in a pin is a tough task all in its own!

So here is my Saturated Canary image colored with copics. 

I embellished the card with these beautiful Wild Orchid Craft flowers. Who doesn't love flowers?

Well I so hope you get a chance to play with us this challenge. 

Don't forget to check out our amazing sponsor too.

prize is a 10 Euro voucher

Have an amazing day and week! 

Until next time. 

Cool Colors

Good morning and happy day to you all. This week I think is trying to take me down. I got sick last week and now my kids are sick but I still have a ways to go before I recover. 

Being miserably sick while trying to take care of two sickos NOT FUN.

But I do have this amazing card to share that I was able to throw together. 

I just love Magnolia stamps. They are so cute and so fun to color. 

I did do the sentiment with white embossing powder and used a brand new SugarPea Designs die that will be coming to the store soon too!

We have a great sponsor this week so stop by and check out what they have!

Lost Without You Sugar Sketch

Hey there all you bloggy friends. Well I am so excited to share with you that I was asked to join the SugarPea Project Pea Team. EEEKKKK can you so YAY. If you haven't heard of SugarPea Designs hurry up and go check out these amazing stamps. 

So for my first creation I am beyond thrilled to share is the sketch challenge they have this week. Let me just say it is awesome and so fun to play along with. 

So here is my take on the sketch.

I am using the new stamp set called Lost Without You, Layered Treat Label, and Layered Treat Label Die.

I colored my images with copics and covered all my edges with Distress Ink.

I loved cutting the sentiment out with the  Layered Treat Label and Layered Treat Label Die.

So I hope you get a chance to play with us this challenge! 

Creative Tags For Gina's Designs

I have the post for the blog hop CLICK HERE!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to share some new tags I created today for Gina's Designs.

I created two tags using the awesome and fun Mushroom Shape Set. 

So for the this piece I just gesso'd the piece and didn't alter it too much. I wanted it to really pop off the tag. 

This tag I added a little tiny bit of gelato to give this chippie a little color. Then I gave it another coat of gesso. Then I covered it with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint.

Items Used:

I have the post for the blog hop CLICK HERE!

I am so in love with these cards I made. It was such a crazy fast throw together I have no idea how I did it. I loved stamping the background and then going over it with the powders. Then I added the stamping and then the embellishments. 

These were both so much fun. Each color has so much shimmer and they were so much fun to make. I love the white space appeal too. 

Frosted Design's Blog Hop

I decided to to make some ATC's to share. I used Lindy's Magicals for a fun and colorful background. 

First each ATC got a bit of watercolored background. i just pulled a tiny bit of the powder out sprayed some water got the brush wet and went to town smearing. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH>

Hey everyone Shanna here today to share some new inspiration! I created a card with some items I had from the Enchanted Kits.

Happy Halloween

Hey everyone to day is a new challenge over at Inky Chicks. 

The theme this week is 3 stamps on a card and 

the sponsor is the awesome Bunny Zoe's Crafts

So for my card I used a Sweet Pea stamp, and 2 different sentiment stamps. 

The Happy Halloween is from MFT and was stamped, punched out, and added to the bottle cap. 

The image was colored with copics and the second sentiment was stamped with distress ink and punched out and added to the card. 

I finished embellished the card with flowers and I love how it turned out. 

Hope you get to play this challenge with us.

The Great Unknown

Hey everyone. I am excited to share my last guest designer project with you that I created for Viva Las Vegas Stamps. 

I am beyond excited to share with you a fun card I created. I got to play with a lot of mixed media products on this card. But the stamps just make it really come to life. 

I used these two stamps from the plate numbered 1436. They were both stamped using Archival ink! I cut them out and mounted them to my card using some cardboard from a shipping box. 

For my background I started with some twinkling h2o's, but once it was dry used a brick wall stencil and some light modeling paste. Once that dried I added some Distress Paint splatter to make the back funky and fun. 

Also I couldn't help but to add flowers. I don't know why but it screamed at me add flowers! 

I am so thankful DeeDee let me be a guest this month and I had fun sharing with you all and hope that you gained some inspiration! Have an awesome crafty day!

Explore Your Path

Hey everyone. I am here to help you get the weekend started. I hope you all get some crafty time this weekend. I know I am planning it.

I am beyond excited to share with you a new layout I created for Gina's Designs Lasercuts. 

I had a blast using my all time favorite Gears Shape Set and I got to use a frame from the Scribbled Frames and Lines Set. 

First I created my background by using a stencil, some twinkling h2o's, stamps, and modeling paste.

Then on the frame, first I gave it some gesso, then I added a little bit of red gelato. After that I went crazy with glass bead gel. Then I covered it all up with twinkling h2o's. After that dried, I added a little bit os Bloom Spray. 

For my gears I kept it simple and added some gold rub n buff. Then I went to town and embellished my page. 

Grab your chipboard and have a blast!

Non Traditional Halloween Colors

Hey everyone. There is a new challenge up today at C.C. Designs. 

The theme is to create something using NON-TRADITIONAL HALLOWEEN COLORS. 

I really thought this would be hard and of course I still used some black and orange but I decided to go with some blue. 

I got to color this cutie called Mrs. Monkey with some copic markers and paired her up with some My Mind's Eye papers.

Trick or Treat Henry

Good morning and good weekend. Today I am up over at the Whiff of Joy blog. 

Scrap Your Stash is the theme for today too. So I decided to use some old Halloween stuff I had in a bin. 

I colored Henry up with my copics and paired him with some fun Halloween papers. 

I also embellished the card with some stickers, ribbon, and a fun brad. 

This is such cute image and great for adding to Halloween creations. Hope you feel inspired. Please leave any comments you can for me. I love to hear from my followers.
