Happy Birthday - Lawn Fawn


Hi everyone,

I'm back with a card that I made for a family member.

I love watching Sandy Allnock when she creates the most stunning backgrounds and thought I would try my hand at it too.  I'm certainly not up there yet but I think it turned out okay and I hope you do too.

I did a lot of masking for this one but it's worth it because you get such great depth with your images. With that I will let the pictures tell the story and the list of supplies will be listed below.






Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!!!

I love you - Shaker Bookmark

Hi everyone,

I found this bookmark I made a long time ago and I don't think I ever shared it.  

I used one of the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle dies and I made it longer so that it could be a bookmark.  I stamped the woodgrain background in cotton candy ink from SSS and then used the sentiment from the Love you S'more set and used Memento Onyx black ink.  


I then used the Pretty Pink Posh film strip die and popped it up on foam tape to create a shaker.
I coloured in the monsters from the Lawn Fawn Monster Mash and coloured them in with my copics (R14, R17, R29 R39).  I added in the seed beads which I got from Michaels but you can get these almost anywhere.   To finish it off I took some Lawn Trimmings in Peppermint and added it to the top.

It's your day!


Hi everyone,

I know I've been missing from my blog lately but I will be back in full force soon.  The kitchen renovations are just about done and I will share some pictures when it's all said and done.


I have a card today made with supplies from the June and July SSS Card Kits.

I started with a smooshing technique for the banner die cut panel with Salty Ocean distress ink.  I then cut out the card base with the Lawn Fawn Stitched banners die from the cream card stock from the kit as well as two more from white card stock.  I adhered the cream piece to the base with liquid adhesive and used some thick twine from my stash to fill in the holes on the base.



I then took the square die that comes with the Stitched Duo banner die and cut out a piece of vellum and glued it to the base.  I took some glossy accents and glued the Anchor clip and tied a bow with a piece of twine from May Arts. I cut out the banner from the WPlus9 banner dies and used the sentiment from the June card kit "It's your day" and stamped it with grey in

Let's Celebrate!!!


Hi everyone!

I'm back with a quick and simple card for you today.  


I started out with Peacock Feather and Black Soot distress ink and I coloured a piece of Canson water colour 140# card stock.  I just love the colour Peacock Feathers!  I have a ton of backgrounds that I make and then they go into a pile until one day I find one that catches my eye and I make a card out of it.




I took the Geek Sheet dies from MFT and cut them out of the distress ink background.  I glued them onto a piece of card stock and cut out a panel with the PPP Stitched Banner Duo dies and popped it up on a card base.   I took some sequins I had in my stash and added a sea beed to the inside (sorry you can't see it very well).  The sentiment is from the SSS More Sketchy Banner Greetings and I used Memento Onyx Black ink.


 Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!!!

Thanks - Simon Says July Card Kit


Hi everyone,

I'm back with a card made with the SSS July Card kit.

I used the SSS stitched rectangle dies to cut out the front panel and popped it up on an A2 size card base with Recollections 110# card stock.

I used Versamark and SSS white embossing powder to stamp out the images and I heat embossed it all.  I used masking to have the images overlap and give it dimension.




I used my Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi water colours to colour in the images.  I didn't go crazy but I didn't stay within the lines either.  I didn't want it to be perfect.   I finished off the card with SSS sequins.




Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!
