Let the embellishments and stamps to inspire you -using the lfl july card kit

Hi all, hope your summer is going well! We have had some hot ones! But the rain has finally come to hopefully cool things off a lil bit. Fyi- i like rainy days ..they are perfect for crafting:) ok change of subject lol! Let’s talk stamps and embellishments. The july cardkit came with a seashell stamp set , puffy triangle stickers, stencil,nuvo drops,wooden pieces and sequins. 

Unfortunately this kit sold out but you can get some of the goodies there separately and of course more papercrafting supplies in lizi’s shop here

For this first card i used the whole seashell stamp on white cardstock using black india ink then i watercolor penciled them , stamped the sentiment and tied a triple ribbon. Oh to add sparkle and dimension i used distress stickles( from my stash) on the starfish and around the frame of the seashell stamp.

This next card i made with the second generation stamping from the first card to get a lighter look
I just love this one!
I then used the sequins to highlight the starfish and added a sentiment from the decoupage elements to the right corner. Lastly i added ribbon and added it to a blue cardbase.

Lastly, this next card i just fell in love with the bright puffy stickers and I wanted to make a bold card with it..and yes i used everyone of them on this card. I just love the bright  colors on white! I added the hello sentiment with stickers from my stash and done. Fun and simple

So that is all for today. Stop by tomm for more kit inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!

Oriental trading - washi tape

Hi all, happy new year!

 Hope your year is off to a good start. Today i am sharing with you

5 quick and easy cards i made with washi tape from Oriental Trading. For the first card, i used the travel washi tape set and laid the strips down on a diagonal with space on the top for the sentiment. I then, cut a piece of cardstock in tan and put strips of the green washi across it . next, i diecut the word thanks and adhered it to my 6 x6 card. After that card, i got on a roll (pun intended) lol!  and used the same idea for the other 4 cards but changing the direction of the washi and then stamping with stamps from my stash in the open areas. I just love how they came out! So simple, fun and a great way to make your own pattern paper. check out the pics below.



Fyi- to check out the awesome washi tapes i used and many more go here:

Cws June fruit challenge #15

Hi all, today i am sharing with you a card i made for the creative with stamps june challenge. The challenge this month is fruit. I have a ton of stamps and thought this would be easy to find in my stash but apparently I don't have as many fruit stamps as I thought. I did however find one cherry stamp in a raisin boat birthday cupcake stamp set i had and ran with it. I stamped the cherry randomly  on a big piece of cardstock to make a background with it to make two cards( you will have to wait til the middle of the month to see the other card ;)) i then used my red prima oil pastel and a waterbrush to color them in. I added some shimmer glue to the cherries along with a thinking of you stamp  popped with foam tape . Lastly, i added ribbon and sequins to finish it . To join the challenge go here 

 ---Pink polkadot paper,sentiment stamp, ribbon and sequins are from inspired by stamping--

Autumn is a second spring card and tag using Moxxie autumn glory collection

 Hi all, happy fall!  I am ready for falling leaves and  crisp air..are you? I am here today to share a fall card and tag that i made using the autumn glory collection. This collection is gorgeous! I just loved working with the beautiful rich colors and design! This week i bought some new punches and i started with a strip of the burnt orange paper but i made a mistake with the punch... I love the challenge of fixing mistakes (as silly as that sounds) because i challenge myself to make it into something pretty. So, i took some stickers off the sticker sheet and layered them with a punched circle and added over my mistake with a gem brad and layered some barcode patterened strips, twine, and the fab autumn saying sticker. Lastly, i distressed all the edges to give some texture to the card. For the tag i added  layered up some stickers and tucked punched swirls underneath with a gem brad in the center and topped it off with some cool twine.  My no measuring tag tip: cut a strip the whole length of the paper (this paper was 12 x12) and any width you like. Fold it in half add glue to inside. The just cut the top two corners on an angle. Then embellish. Thanks for stopping by and happy creating!!   Jen T.  :)
