One for the hubby

here is the card I'm going to give the hubby for Father's day!

I posted it on IG a bit ago, after I finished.... but wanted to share on the blog...

It's top secret so mums the word!
I started by creating what I wanted to say on my computer and printed it out on watercolor paper from Crafters Companion!

Up next I busted out the Ken Oliver Color Burst in various colors!
I let layer after layer of color dry, being very careful not to mess up my sentiment!

I threw in dashes (lots) of Heidi Swapp Color Shine Gold!

I layered the wc paper on chipboard to give it strength and added it to a cardbase (A2 size)!

Other than the color and twine, I tried to keep the card simple, and let the colors shine!

I hope he is gonna like it...

Until next time!

Just a really quick post before bed tonight!

I wanted to share on of the many cards I've made recently.. just haven't found the time to blog

Today's card is featuring a few Lawn Fawn stamps and dies, that I ordered from Justin's store Stamp, Ink, Paper which just happens to be located across the country in New York state (I'm near Portland Oregon).

I used cardstock from MFT Stamps, and used Simon Says Stamp Rectangle Stitched dies for my top layer and SSS #120 thick white for my base!

I used the Stinkin' Cute stamp set and matching die and Sun & Moon dies, Simple Puffy Clouds and the matching Frames set as well.

I used both my Journey Platinum and Crafters Companion - Diamon Press for cutting my pieces for this card!

I used a bunch of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, their new Sparkle pen in clear as well and a Signo White gel pen! The sequins used with from SIP (clear) and SSS (multi-colored).

Until next time,

Digi Card CDD

'ello Monday!

Today at Craftin Desert Divas they've got some new digi stamps (digital images) and when I saw this Bunny in a hot air balloon, with hearts, clouds and a bird... I knew I had to have it!

Here's the link directly to the product at CDD... now don't fall over... but it's only 99 cents!

The best thing about Digi's is that you can make them any size you need, teenie tiny, or a full sheet at 8 1/2 by 11.

I did mine a bit bigger than a card front, 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 so that I could use my CDD Fancy Frames dies on it. I colored my image before cutting it down to fit the big shot, and framed out the area I loved!

Crafters companion - watercolor paper, Simon Says Stamp 120# cardstock as my cardbase

and Zig CCRB watercolor pens

I also used the Wishful thoughts stamp set, for my sentiments... The cool thing is all of these products are available at the same place!

Well, that's all for now...

Until next time

CYCI#116 A Sketch Challenge

Wow.. I'm back from Illinois, and I had a blast!!! William and I got to spend time with family and it was awesome! The best news that happened while I was there is that my mom can finally start therapy to walk again after her fall and break last fall. My cousin Tammy was a great friend to let us stay with her, we had a blast, making cards, playing games and catching up. On the other hand, it is great to be home and getting ready for another term at school!

Anyway.. on to this weeks challenge

Elizabeth did this week sketch and I totally love all the detail!

While I was chatting with Tammy on Skype I was making my color selections...
and decided to go with pinks! :) They are fun and happy!

I used a tag die from Crafters Companion that works on their new Diamond Press!

Once I laid out how I wanted the top layer to look, I went to work on the shaker parts.
I used Zig RCCB in pinks and lots of beautiful sequins from Craftin' Desert Divas -Spring Time Flower Power mix. For the bows, I grabbed my Doodlebug Chunky Twine! Layering it onto a pink cardstock base from MFT Stamps. The Hi sentiment is from Paper Smooches - Scripty Sayings.

Until next time

OSAT BLOG HOP - Love is in the air

Welcome back to OSAT for February

Our theme this month is "Love is in the Air" and it was so much fun to put my items together!
Wow... I totally loved Lori's post... wasn't it just fantastic!!!

On to the hop...

I recently got my order from MFT and had to include them in the items I selected for this months post! I know that many of you have seen all the wonderful items out there, and yes it gets so hard to chose from the massive selections... but when I saw the MFT plaid paper stack, I knew I had to have it!

I had the chance to order from HSN!!! When they offered the new Crafters Companion Diamond Press and some of the uber cute dies and embossing folders. I used one of the tag dies, and their heart embossing mini folders! I can't get over how flippin' cute the thing is!

Like I mentioned before I also have lots of new goodies from MFT like the plaid patterns paper and the label maker love stamp set! Along with their card sampler, which a great way to get the cardstock without a huge investment and we all know that a great deal saving is! I used 120# Ultra Thick Cardstock from Simon Says Stamp for my base and a purple heart on Doodlebug cardstock (another sampler pack). For my embellishments, I used some basic black thread, a stapler, my little b corrugated paper and Springtime Flower Power sequin mix from Craftin Desert Divas!

My card is awesome! Lots of great pieces to pull it together!

For my project, I made a super cute fortune cookie!

Pam is up next... wait til you see what she has for you... amazing!!!

Thanks for joining us for the February 2016 Love is in the Air - OSAT Blog Hop!!!

Until next time!
