You're Not Alone

Hello everyone,

I used the Altenew stamp set A Beautiful Day as well as their Sea Glass ink. I masked off the edges of an A2 sized card base with post-it note tape. I then took the smaller flower stamps in the set, the more dainty ones and stamped them with the Sea Glass ink.

Once I had filled in the area as much as I could, I removed the tape slowly so that I didn't tare the paper. I then stamped the sentiment with black ink overtop of the images. To finish off the card I added some dots that I made with the Nuvo Crystal Drops.  

I'm participating in the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge and this week is a sketch.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you again soon.

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #12 - SMDT

Hello everyone,

We are back with Challenge #12 for the Tic-Tac-Toe - Stamping Smiles designs.

My choice:  Doily-Layers & Dimension-Bird/Bees/Butterflies

For my card today I put a lot of elements into it.  Some days I am a minimalist and others I like to load it up!

As soon as I saw the birds/bees/butterflies I immediately thought of the Home Sweet Home (which I just realized that this set is now retired, sorry!) along with the Cirtters in the Burbs set.  I coloured everything with my copics and added some Wink of Stella to some of the critters. 

I don't know if you can see where my doily is but if you look at the grassy hill you will find it!  I coloured the white doily that I purchased from my local dollar store and added some stamped grass from the Critters in the Burbs and added some colour with my copics.  

I then took one of the cloud border dies and cut out a stencil from a piece of scrap card stock and used the Broken China distress ink to add the clouds in the background.  I glued down the doily and them added the fame die to the card panel with foam tape and the added the rest of the elements with foam tape and a few with liquid adhesive.

I cut out a banner from white card stock and cut off one end so I could add it to the base.  I stamped the sentiment and added the die cut "you" from Altenew to the card.

Don't forget to stop by and link up your projects.  We can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by.

AAA Cards Game 62 - Anything Goes!

Hello everyone,

We are back with Game #62 and Sky's the Limit! 

This week our sponsor is Happy Little Stampers who will be providing a $20 gift certificate to their store.

Here are the cards I created.  I was inspired by Yana Smakula so I gave it a try.  Normally I regret not getting the stamps sets that I see being used but this time I actually have it.  So that made me very exited.  

I started out with a full 8.5x11" sheet of card stock and stamped all the image outlines in black ink.  I then went on to stamp in the colours with Simon Says Stamp inks.  

After I did all the stamping I then cut my panel into four.  I have to say that it was a bit nerve-racking cutting into the page like that.  But I was able to get four panels.  And for these two cards I took one of those A2 size panels I cut them in half again and die cut them out of the 4bar sized stitched rectangles from Lawn Fawn.  

I took my N0 Copic marker and went around the images in hopes to pop them up off the card a bit to give dimension.   One I glued on to a note card directly to the panel and the other I added a think black panel to break up the white background.  

The top sentiment is a die cut from SSS and the below sentiment came from another Altenew stamp set called Beautiful Day set. I then added some wink of stella to the flowers and called them done.

Now on to my card!  I have a lovely Cafe Latte sitting pretty on a stand just waiting for that special someone to come and take it away!

I used the Lawn Fawn Love you a Latte and Baked with Love stamps sets.  The cup and sentiment is from Love you a Latte and the cake stand is from Baked with love and coloured them in with my copics.  I added a twine bow and white dots to the stand for interest.  

I cut out the front panel from the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles and then framed it with a piece of grey card stock.  

I used a circle die and cut it out of printer paper so it wouldn't be too thick when I stamped it out.  I used a wood panel background and used a light grey ink then took a black pen and added stitch lines.

To finish off the card I took some hearts I had in my stash and added some sequins.

That's it for me.  A list of all the supplies are at the bottom of this post.
