AAA Cards Game 75 - Photo Inspiration

Hello everyone,

I'm back with a fun card for our newest challenge over a AAA Cards and it's a photo inspiration (see end of post for more details and photo). This is a fun one as I love rainbows and colour.

I stamped the leaf image from Create a Smile a few times with my mini MISTI so I could get a good impression. I went through my copic stash and found two colours per colour family and started colouring in the leaves.

Once I had them all coloured in I fussy cut them out with my scissors and went around the edges with a Memento marker to give it a cleaner look. I then cut out a vase and thanks from MFT and then went to town with the sparkle.  I added it to just about everything on this card. I know, I have a problem but it looked much better with it.  

Be sure to head over to the blog to see what the other DT members have done.  The details on how to play and a linky to add your card is over on the blog. 

Our super duper sponsor for this game is Happy Little Stamper and we couldn't be more excited.

Mint Owl Studio - A party without ice cream...

 Hi everyone,

I'm back with a yummy card for you today.  As much as I love fall and fall cards I also love ice cream and thought I would make a card with the Sweet Treats stamp set and Sprinkles stencil.


I started out with a piece of white card stock and added three colours to some embossing paste.  I used the Sprinkles stencil and added each colour diagonally across the panel. I set that aside to dry.

I then stamped the candy with black copic safe ink and coloured them in and fussy cut them leaving a very small white border.  Mainly because I need to practice my fussy cutting and can never get a nice even edge.  But that's just our little secret.  ;)

I cut out two circles from vellum and on the smaller one I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with cracks me up.  I cut down the embossed panel and added the circles and popped up the candy with foam tape.

That's it for me.  Hope you get some crafty time this weekend!

See you again soon.

AAA Card Challenge Game #74 - Masking

Hello everyone!

We are back with a new AAA Cards game for you and it's Masking.

Sponsor: www.stampendous.com/

This is always a fun technique but I sometimes forget about it.  Fall is upon us and it is my absolute favourite time of year.  

For my card today I wanted to use the adorable Lawn Fawn mini set.  To start I took a piece of post it note and die cut with the scalloped circle die to create a mask.  I then added the negative piece to my card and ink blended the area with Willow ink.  

I took the sentiment and used my Mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment. I like using the MISTI when I stamp sentiments because I normally can't get anything straight even if I try and the die inks look best if you stamp them a couple of times. I then stamped and coloured in the apple pie with my copics and die cut with my Big Shot machine. I then added the little swirl over the pie and added the pie to the card with foam tape.

I have a video up on my YouTube channel.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Mint Owl Studio - Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

I'm back with another Christmas card for you using the Trim the Tree stamp set.  And did you know we now have coordinating dies as well?

I started out with a pice of watercolour paper and I added a couple of different blues to the card with my watercolour paints.  I did this in layers and heat set each layer before adding more colour.  I happen to love the harsher lines this technique gives.

I then stamped the ornaments in Versamark and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I then took my Versamark pen and added the lines that the ornaments are hanging from and heat embossed them again along with the sentiment.

I then added a few dots using the Nuvo drops in glitter and let that dry before adhering the panel onto a card base.  I always manage to stick my finger in these dots thinking they are dry enough, and they never are.  But this time I put the card up so I wouldn't keep checking on them.  ;)

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello everyone,

I can't believe the Coffee Lovers Bloghop is back again already!  I love this hop!  It's fun and I love seeing all the amazing cards being created with coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

I coloured in the images during Kathy Racoosin's last Colour Challenge and as soon as I had them coloured I knew exactly how I was going to use them.

I saved this card for the last two months as I wanted to save it just for today, for this hop.  I used the Perked Up stamps and dies from The Greeting Farm and coloured them in with my copics.

I then cut out a panel from the MFT rounded rectangle dies and used the Mint Owl Studio coffee bean stencil with some Espresso distress ink and added it to the die cut panel.

I stamped the sentiment that came with the set to the panel with Versafine onyx black ink.  Popped up the coffee with foam tape to the panel and then popped that up onto the card base.  I added some coffee coloured sequins from Mint Owl Studio to finish off the card.  

Hope you'll join along the hop.  There are some amazing prizes and a TON of sponsors with awesome goodies.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Thank You card - WPlus9

Hello everyone,

I'm back with a couple of cards and a video!

I had already created this card for my co-worker and loved it so much I wanted to create a couple more.


I took a circle die and cut out the circle from white card stock.  I then cut out the clouds and grass from which card stock to create stencils and then ink blended in the sky and grass with Willow and Cloudy Sky inks from Simon Says Stamp.  I messed up the one of the right but thought I'd leave it in as the struggle is real sometimes.

I used the WPlus9 Friends for all Season - Summer and that little puppy is just adorable.  I stamped the images with SSS Intense black ink on card stock and coloured them in with my copics.  I then die cut them and popped it up on foam tape onto the circle.  I then added the circle to the card base with foam tape as well.

Here's my video on YouTube.
