This is such a beautiful sketch!  I chose to keep the square the same as the base layer but I added an eyelet to the upper right corner.  I used the super cute and fun Stampin' Up! Bubble Over DSP, lemon lime twist cardstock and white cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment from Stapmin' Up! Picture Perfect and I'm down to the bottom of my jar and so that is why its bumpy as opposed to smooth so time to throw that out.  I can't find my other set of circle dies so until I do, I will have to use these wonky stitched circles.  I cut and layered various sizes because I usually layer my cards heavily!  For finishing touches, I added enamel dots and a lime green button plus a striped star and adhered looped, white bakers twine beneath the largest circle.  Thanks for taking a peek! I am also including this in the.   Inspire. Create Challenge #015 .  I created this for a male so I think it meets the criteria.

I used Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Banners to create this unique Mother's Day card for my mother.  For the background I used cream cardstock and inked up Tim Holtz "Roses" embossing folder with black Versafine Ink (make sure you have a strong cleaner like Blue Wolf to clean up the embossing folder, Versafine is permenant).  I have found that the distress inks contain too much water and do not do well with embossing folders, but other inks (Stampin' Up!)  work really well.  If you look closely, I did get  some black ink on the embossed part, its difficult not to.  But if you apply the ink with a brayer, it reduces this.  I added an assortment of embellishments, including the flower which I die cut using Stampin' Up! Botanical Builder thinlets.  I embossed the sentiment and die cut that with a circle and cut an additional black circle and cream scallop and adhered two little wooden hearts.  Finally I added some ribbon (purchased locally at Mi...

The colors are Rich Razzleberry, Garden Green, and Sweet Sugarplum.  I substituted Berry Burst for Rich Razzleberry, and Cucumber Crush for Garden Green. I used similar elements on both cards.  The embossing folder that I used came from Aliexpress.  It does not have a name but looks like a radiating flower.  I embossed Berry Burst cardstock but I brayered the embossing folder with Berry Burst Ink to darken the background portion of the card.  For the second card I used the embossing folder on the background.  These Aliexpress embossing folders work perfectly fine and are A2 sized, most cost $1 or so.  I used Cucumber Crush DSP, the same pattern on both cards.  I used elements from the December Paper Pumpkin - the sentiment from the second card and the awesome seam binding ribbon on the first card.  Finally I incorporated "Sweet Sugarplum" using plain cardstock.  I cut the cardstock into pierced circles on the second card and l...

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I received a sweet gift of 132 Prismacolor Premier pencils!  I may post those if I can find the time. Here is my Paper Pumpkin Alternative showcase for this month (Lol).  I put these together fairly quickly and still have lots of kit to spare!  My favorite item was the linen thread, so glad to add that to my growing collection.  I am currently a demonstrator but I'm not sure I will be after March, I may not have enough sales to remain a demonstrator.  However, I love Stampin' Up! products and I do plan to continue my Paper Pumpkin subscription for now, so I'll post my monthly projects.  I have two videos for these cards you can view them below.  TFL. I just saw my Paper Pumpkin unboxing video had 52 likes!  To see this video:  https://youtu.be/DLlxibr2pA8 My second video is uploading so I'll update the post once that video is live.

I created this card today for the MFT Creative Olympics Event 3, Crafty Biathlon.  I don't have a ton of MFT stamps so I'm having to get creative!  This took me a while to stamp & emboss, but this is such an adorable set of images, right?  I chose a gatefold card, but I off centered the fold, and for the technique I went with Emboss Resist.   The stamps are from "Friends in the Forest" by MFT. I embossed with red & white embossing powders and used several images from the set.  Next, I brayered Picked Rasberry Distress Oxide Ink to get a pink gradient, then I wiped away the ink from the white embossing.  I splashed that with some water (and added some morning dew Nuvo drops to look like water droplets).  Next, I used  MFT Tag Builder Blueprints 2 and basically used two of the tops to create holes for baker's twine.  I also added a red button and some 1/4" white grosgrain ribbon I found at Wal-mart for $1.  I hot glued...

I'll post the MFT information a little later.  This card took me a little while longer.  I'm learning to use colored pencils and I still don't have turpenoid or gamsol yet so I'm using an alcohol marker to blend the colors, and I did mess up, but I think its acceptable considering the cuteness of this bear!  Since this is not realistic imagery, I can use whatever colors I want and I went with a sunny yellow sky!  I was going to add some blue but I was sure to mess it all up, so that will be another project.  I used Dr PH Martins Pen White to add some snow.  I tried a gel pen, but it wasn't covering well so I switched to this.  I took a small round brush and splattered some pen white ink, its subtle.  I almost started the whole thing over, but it took me awhile to get the images stamped because I had to mask so I decided to keep trying on this one.  MFT has the cutest, most adorable images!

I put this together super quick!  I've been brainstorming on how to use this Hello Easter stamp set from Stampin' Up!  The rabbit is not so cute.  But its quirky and reminds me of Tim Holtz style,  so I may use that with some of his supplies.  This is what I came up with today.  I picked up the Limeade cardstock that I was working with earlier this week and stamped with Stampin' Up! Lemon Lime Twist.  The background stamp came from AliExpress and it is a basket weave pattern.  I stamped the background with my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, then die cut it with a stitched rectangle then inked the edges.  I layered that on some Bazzill "Quicksand" cardstock which was also on clearance.  I stamped the rabbit in a row and then the flower and tiny dot.  I love the little stamps in this set!  I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and cut the banner so that it raises off the card (like in the catalog card sample)....
