Halloween card #1

Hello everyone, I've been crafting my fingers off trying to get some cards done for you guys. 

Here is the first card in my Halloween series.

Isn't this little guy from TGF just adorable?! I love him! Sooo cute.

I colored him in with my copic markers, added some wink of stella and that was it. 

Trimmed him out and grabbed a few halloween pattern papers from my stash

And for the inside I used my newest Peachy Keen stamp. 

Their new Halloween release had this great drippy goo sentiment. 

It's slightly blotchy due to my rushing stamping but it totally works for me.

Stay tuned for more cards in the Halloween Series!

Lawn Fawn Into Tuesday!

Phew! Birthday madness is over with! 

The Maleficent party went really well, I had a lot of fun creating stuff for it.

Now back to CARDS!!! 

I got to break out my Lawn Fawn Into the Woods stamp set for this one.

 This fox is by far my favorite critter from this set. 

I nestled him inside the cut out circle, created my own pattern background on the desert storm cardstock using SSS Khaki ink and the little leaf from the set.

 As you can see here my embossing got really messy this time, which I haven't really had an issue with in a long time so I'm not quite sure what happened there. 

I mounted the wood pattern paper directly to the green cardstock and die cut a circle from the top center.

Then I popped the whole panel up on dimensionals.

I don't know if I really colored him accurately like a fox but I do love how he turned out. The blending came out better than I anticipated since using colors that didn't really blend well together.

Well that is the card for today. I just got my new Erin Condren Life Planner in the mail today!

 Eeeek! I'm in love! Going to plan out a lot more time for crafting and blogging!

Happy Hump Day!

Good morning! I wanted to hop on here and get this up before we leave for the day.

The hubs and I are taking the girls to Legoland for our oldests birthday!

They have no idea and have never been so it's pretty exciting.

I created this little card using my new lawn fawn stamps and dies

I bought in my recent SSS haul. 

This set is the "Love You Smore" stamps & dies.

For some reason they wouldn't link up below so I'll link them above.

Isn't that little s'more adorable? 

I kept is very simple, stamped the images on scrap neenah cardstock, colored and cut them out using their coordinating dies. Then adhering them straight onto the cardstock with a little Tombow Mono Multi and added some Wink of Stella to the flames.

I decided to leave the inside of this card blank to leave plenty of room to personalize it.

The sentiment came from the same stamp set.

I just pieced it together how I wanted it and stamped it using Versafine ink.

Just look at that smiling s'more! He's just to cute for words. 

He looks so perfectly toasty too, now I want a s'more.

Oh wait! I have s'more granola bars in the pantry, I know what this momma is having on the ride up to Legoland!

Hope you all enjoyed and have s'more fun today.

Make A Card Monday!

Hello everyone and happy Monday!

This last week completely escaped me as I worked on getting things together for my oldest daughters birthday party this coming Saturday. 

She wants a Maleficent party which I'm having a blast creating things for. 

While I was shopping at Michael's for spooky inspiration I just couldn't stay out of the stamp isle and I happened to stumble upon these stamp sets from Art Impressions.

That's right! Art Impressions is now in Michael's stores! 

How awesome is that? I can see my collection growing by the second!

I picked up the beach babes set (pictured in the middle) I wanted to grab that set with the airplane but it was already sold out, so I'll be searching for that every trip.

So taking a little break from the Maleficent projects I created this little card.

 The girlfriend stamps kill me! I just adore them. 

I kept it very clean and simple. Stamped it onto SSS white cardstock 

and colored directly on the card base. 

SSS cardstock is the best I've found so far that wont the copics wont bleed through to the inside of the card.

 I tried to not be very fussy about my coloring and stick to two colors and not blend as much like the art impression sets look. 

I also added glossy accents to the sunglasses as well as the drink glasses.

 These little ladies will be perfect to enter into this weeks Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge being that this weeks theme is "You Gotta Have Friends"

Using Kraft ink from MFT's new Hybrid ink collection I stamped the girlfriends again on the inside and used versafine to stamp the sentiment.

That's all for the card today.

Head on over to the SSS Wednesday challenge to participate you have until Wed  8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in.
