Such a sweet image! I colored this one with Copic markers from the Perfect Primaries and the Skin Tones. The paper pad is a Christmas pad from Hobby Lobby, by the Paper Studio, called Old Christmas. I used three gems from my stash and the stamp is a set from Recollections with red Archival Ink.

During my reno of my craft room, I was organizing paper collections and found these gorgeous papers by Anna Griffin called the Fleur Rouge Collection. These papers have a nice vintage feel to them! And of course, the beautiful digi from A Day For Daisies. OMG, go to their website, they have some beautiful digis there! <a href="http://www.adayfordaisies.com/">http://www.adayfordaisies.com/</a><br />
<br />
Here is what I used:<br />
Digital Image (Dreaming of her wedding day) by A Day For Daisies<br />
Anna Griffin the Fleur Rouge Collection- 2 papers, 1 cut to 4 x 5 1/4 the the other to 3 3/4 x 5<br />
White flatback pearls- 6<br />
Recollections white card stock- 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Card base<br />
Copic Markers, Perfect Primaries- Y19, Y13<br />
Skin Tones- R20, E00, E11, E13, E15<br />
<br />
I picked out 2 papers from the collection. Layer them and adhere to the card base. Color the digi with the Y13 and the Y19, using R20 for the flowers on her dress and hair. Then use the E00 and E11 for her skin. I used E13 and E15 for her hair.<br />
<br />
Fussy cut her out and adhere to the left side of the card. Add the 6 pearls and a sentiment from the paper collection to the upper right corner.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out A Day For Daisies for some beautiful images!<br />

What a darling Digi! I made a bunch of base cards and this is one of those. Here is what I used:<br />
<br />
Bun Bear digi by Crafty Sentiments <br />
Recollections white card stock- 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, plus scraps big enough for the sentiment and the digi. I used green ink for the sentiment.<br />
Recollections light blue card stock- 4 x 5 1/4, 3/4 x 4 1/4<br />
Primrose & Sparrow pink dot w/ butterflies paper by The Paper Studio- 3 1/4 x 4 1/2<br />
Embossing folder by Anna Griffin (Sizzix)<br />
Glossy Accents<br />
Arteza Everblend Alcohol Markers- A4103 (ginger) A2492 (hazelnut brown ) A1000 Black<br />
<br />
Emboss light blue card stock and adhere the Primrose & Sparrow pink dot paper to it. Print the sentiment, cut out and adhere to the upper right side of the Primrose & Sparrow paper. Adhere the light blue strip across the lower 1/3 of the card.<br />
<br />
Color the bear digi first using the A4103 Ginger marker and then the 2492 for the highlights. I used some on his cheeks as well. Color his nose with the black and apply Glossy Accents and allow to dry. I fussy cut him out and adhered him to the left of the strip of light blue paper.<br />
<br />
There you have it! Another super cute card!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
This darling little card was so much fun to make, oh my gosh. This is a Digi from Bugaboo Stamps, so adorable. Deacon is one of my favorites, very cute!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpOtCepU1GVkBvGUERAukG91NViQr1TUJ4aH_Jaozh2tlm7M-ob7_VQryt0qAXxddZTB0ue0cRa150BTD7OI6iNiXplNAtj5_xi_Ay9EL76B8I8DtWgYvkgjPaHyCLwQfpIJzhfN2Pt2k/s1600/Deaconwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="592" data-original-width="463" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpOtCepU1GVkBvGUERAukG91NViQr1TUJ4aH_Jaozh2tlm7M-ob7_VQryt0qAXxddZTB0ue0cRa150BTD7OI6iNiXplNAtj5_xi_Ay9EL76B8I8DtWgYvkgjPaHyCLwQfpIJzhfN2Pt2k/s400/Deaconwm.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
He was alot of fun to color. I used two digis from BugaBoo, Deacon baseball and a bench.<br />
I also used:<br />
Recollections card stock- white 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scraps (about 5 x 4 each)<br />
Recollections card stock- light blue 5 1/4 x 2<br />
Recollections card stock- green 5 1/4 x 2, plus a scrap for sentiment<br />
Recollections card stock-yellow 1" circle<br />
Copic Markers-Skin Tones, E100, E11, E13, E15, E18. Perfect Primaries, R46, B04<br />
Tombow Markers-755 Rubine Red, 555 Ultramarine, N57 Warm Gray<br />
Stampin' Up! - Circle of Spring Stamp Set<br />
1" circle punch<br />
Recollections yellow card stock- scrap for 1" circle<br />
Recollections green card stock- 2 3/4", 2x2"<br />
Recollections Light Blue card stock- 2 3/4"<br />
Recollections white card stock- 8 1/2 x 11, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2<br />
<br />
Use the 8 1/2 x 11 piece of white card stock to print the digital images on. Using Copic Markers, color Deacon and his baseball bat and ball, then the bench. I fussy cut these out. Stamp happy birthday to you on the 2x2"green card stock. Round the corners. Butt together the rest of the green card stock and the light blue card stock on the card, adhere down. These two together should measure 4x 5 1/4".<br />
I popped up the sun on dimensionals and placed it in the upper left corner. Place the bench on the lower part of the card and set Deacon on the bench. Place the happy birthday to you under the bench by Deacon.<br />
<br />
The hardest part was coloring Deacon and the bench. Not bad to bring together at all.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!!<br />

This classic gate fold card done with hearts and golden arrows is so cute. I used some dies I bought from Wish.com. It also had a swirl line that I also used on the card. Here is what else I used:<br />
Recollections pink card stock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, and some scraps<br />
Recollections white card stock 3 5/16 x 4 5/8<br />
Galentine's paper pad by Recollections- XOXO 5 3/8 x 1 7/8 (2) 5 1/4 x 4 (1)<br />
Galentine's paper pad by Recollections- Hearts with Arrows 5 3/8 x 1 7/8 (2)<br />
Recollections Gold (shiny) paper 3 1/2 x 4 1/2<br />
1" paper punch<br />
Flatback white pearl <br />
Happy Anniversary Stamp (Wish.com)<br />
Archival Ink- Vibrant Fuchsia<br />
Scoreboard<br />
Die Cutting Machine <br />
Paper Trimmer<br />
Adhesive<br />
<br />
<br />
Score the pink card stock at 2 1/8 & 6 3/8, longest side at the top, fold score lines. Set aside. Cut XOXO paper and Hearts and Arrows paper. Adhere Hearts and Arrows paper to the front flaps of the card. On the inside, adhere the XOXO papers.<br />
Ink and stamp on the white card stock then adhere to the center inside of the card.<br />
<br />
With the 1" circle punch, punch out a circle from the shiny gold paper and set aside. With die cutting machine, cut out the flower and ribbon die and the flower without the ribbon in pink, then the flower without the ribbon in shiny gold, along with the swirl if desired. ( I put the swirl on the right side of the front flap for interest and more shiny gold! Now put the flower dies on top of the flower and ribbon die and glue together. Adhere the flat back pearl in the center. Adhere the flowers in the center of the 1" circle. Put glue on the left side of the back of the circle and adhere it to the right flap of the card, with the half that has no glue overlapping the left flap of the front. Then if you like the swirl, add it as well.<br />
<br />
Done! Love this one and the beautiful shiny gold!<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
I like this one very much. Here is what I used:<br />
Tombow markers- 933 Orange, 925 Scarlet, 025 Lt Orange<br />
EK Success Memory Pencils- Wedding White, Smoke<br />
Copic C3, B00<br />
Leaf die<br />
Green Recollections cardstock<br />
Hobby Lobby blues on a wood patterned paper 3.75 x 5<br />
Blue Recollections cardstock 4 x 5.25<br />
White Recollections cardstock 8.5 x 5.5 folded in half<br />
White Recollections cardstock 7/8 x 3.75<br />
Happy Anniversary Stamp from Wish.com<br />
Jot pop up stickers from Dollar Tree- small, green<br />
Digi stamp from our sponsor Morgan <br />
<br />
First I colored the digi butterfly from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/163615714504851/">Morgans Artworld</a>, btw, this image is so sweet and delicate, using the Light Orange pencil all over, and then shaded with the 933 Orange along the left side of the butterfly. With the Scarlet Tombow, I shaded even darker just on the inside of the left of the butterfly and just a few whips of the Copic C3. Along the right side of the butterfly, outside the coloring line, I used a bit of Copic B00. With the Wedding White EK Success colored pencil, I did a few highlights on the center of the butterfly. I added a little of the Smoke colored pencil on the left part of the butterfly.<br />
Cut the blue paper and layer it with the Hobby Lobby patterned paper and put the butterfly in the upper left corner.<br />
Stamp Happy Anniversary on the small piece of white cardstock and adhere to the lower section of the Hobby Lobby patterned paper. Place the Jot pop up stickers on it. Adhere to the patterned paper then adhere to the card. Voila!!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!!<br />

Black Recollections card stock- 4 x 5 1/4 and some scraps<br />
Yellow Recollections card stock- 3 3/4 x 5<br />
Ink Blending Tool and pad<br />
<br />
First, I made the background with the yellow card stock and the Dried Marigold Distress Ink, using the Ink Blending Tool and pad. I used quite a bit of ink, so I sat it aside to dry.<br />
I then cut out the beehive, 2 bees, flowers and leaves. After deciding the placement of all the pieces, I inked the edges of the flowers. then I glued down all the pieces. Lastly, I used the Diamond Stickles on the bee's wings.<br />
After allowing it to dry, I adhered the yellow beehive page to the black card stock, then to the card.<br />
And that's another project completed!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
My card club this month had a challenge making a card with Graphic 45's Penny's Paper Dolls. I am a huge fan of Graphic 45 papers and will be doing more posts with other papers of theirs. But first, here is this one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4EfTjzNABbc0stIu6bTUyi2owku3wO_gu0f9g-wL4kXeC3B944CIVR8g3Bh2cl63OBCh0UesmjrPa7n9eBJX-y4H63mmgthdLCNIMVoN0TjMOllJD7Ih9PV4abMrCGjFh1BLUxXheI0c/s1600/graphic45Pennywm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="584" data-original-width="387" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4EfTjzNABbc0stIu6bTUyi2owku3wO_gu0f9g-wL4kXeC3B944CIVR8g3Bh2cl63OBCh0UesmjrPa7n9eBJX-y4H63mmgthdLCNIMVoN0TjMOllJD7Ih9PV4abMrCGjFh1BLUxXheI0c/s320/graphic45Pennywm.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>
I did some fussy cutting on this card (patting self on the back) I am not a fan of the fussy cut. I cut out the stamp, the doll and the sentiment, as well as her dress and hat. This card measures 8.5 x 5.5. Here is what you will need:<br />
Graphic 45 Penny's Paper Dolls, 1 sheet, front and back<br />
Back of the Graphic 45 sheet- cut 8 1/8 x 4 3/4<br />
Ranger Distress Inks- Black Soot, Frayed Burlap, Old Paper<br />
Tim Holtz Distress Tool<br />
Ink Blending Tool & Pads<br />
White card stock- 8.5 x 11<br />
<br />
Fussy cut the stamp, sentiment, doll dress and hat. I cut out the tabs on the dress, folded them back and put some adhesive on the back of the dress and put it on the paper doll as you normally would.<br />
Cut out the hat and the slit to put her head through. Adhere it to the doll. Place them all on the back side of the Graphic 45 paper cut at 8 1/8 x 4 3/4 as shown.<br />
Distress the edges of the card and ink the distressed edges with Old Paper Distress ink, then Frayed Burlap and finally Black Soot. Adhere the rest to the front of the card. Fini!! Simple and easy.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!!<br />

<br />
This project is one that I made for a craft fair coming up. The Kentucky items I have done in the past seem to do nicely, so here is one of them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilTAKIBIuCPvkjtUA5B4kcyVpYlPxj-em4QUlAu1P_MEaL7GmMotPO31TvZbrd1avqzYJ0Zgk2h3HZb7LJCfPCD3b75deVSaDiaFfvSu0zdggRuU187UQvn8qw6_L10-iCrIieywWKqHE/s1600/Ky+Magnets+2wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="571" data-original-width="413" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilTAKIBIuCPvkjtUA5B4kcyVpYlPxj-em4QUlAu1P_MEaL7GmMotPO31TvZbrd1avqzYJ0Zgk2h3HZb7LJCfPCD3b75deVSaDiaFfvSu0zdggRuU187UQvn8qw6_L10-iCrIieywWKqHE/s320/Ky+Magnets+2wm.jpg" width="231" /></a></div>
I used my Cricut cutting machine for these, but there are many layers, 5 of each for the heart and the state. They were fun to make, so here it is.<br />
<br />
Here is what I used:<br />
Recollections red cs<br />
Recollections #110 black cs<br />
Recollections blue cs<br />
Recollections #110 white cs<br />
Amber gemstones from Michael's<br />
Uncharted 4.5 x 6.5 paper pad by The Paper Studio by Hobby Lobby<br />
Plastic Sleeves from Clear Bags.com B4x5 4 1/4 x 5 1/8<br />
Wet glue<br />
Glue Dots <br />
magnets <br />
<br />
On my Cricut I set the hearts to cut at 2 1/4" tall by 3" wide. For EACH heart I cut 4 of the #110 black cs and 1 from the red cs.<br />
<br />
For the state, cut at 1 3/4" tall by 3" wide. I cut 4 of the #110 white cs and 1 of the blue cs. There is a star that cuts out where the state capital is. Since the star didn't cut well, I simply applied the amber gemstone there.<br />
<br />
Layer all the pieces together with the red on top of the heart and the blue on top of the state, adhere with a wet glue. Glue the state to the heart and then glue a magnet to the back.<br />
<br />
Cut the Unchartered paper to 4x5. I used a glue dot to stick the magnets to the paper. Slide them into the plastic sleeve.<br />
<br />
They took a bit of time to glue the layers together, but overall, a simple project.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
Hope your Memorial Day weekend was a blast! Here is a new project made with coffee sleeves.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_kOUHi_1eU0Ld8lxdJn2qd2m3TZehJGpP6IHx-nysYR1akEkN_HHVA2pPRPSH1T856B5WAI1ZPaGvRxnSKd4XCoUVmYtGknbV102ePMLUoa4jYSSkVyJfxzeJJmWWkkRFZ7Gm8Z_Qi8/s1600/Coffee+sleeve+miniwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="424" data-original-width="603" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_kOUHi_1eU0Ld8lxdJn2qd2m3TZehJGpP6IHx-nysYR1akEkN_HHVA2pPRPSH1T856B5WAI1ZPaGvRxnSKd4XCoUVmYtGknbV102ePMLUoa4jYSSkVyJfxzeJJmWWkkRFZ7Gm8Z_Qi8/s400/Coffee+sleeve+miniwm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I didn't make this for Valentine's Day, although it sure would be appropriate. I made it because I liked the papers and the colors. My papers are a miss-match of different ones I had in my scrap stash. All of mine are different Valentine's Day papers.<br />
<br />
What I used:<br />
4 Coffee Sleeves<br />
Acrylic paints ( I used Americana Lavender and Joann Craft Essentials Leaf Green )<br />
1 piece of light weight chipboard or cardboard cereal box 2 1/2 x 2 1/2<br />
Lime green paper 2 1/2 x 2 1/2<br />
Coordinating patterned papers 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 (3)<br />
Pink sugar dot gems (2)<br />
Red heart gem (1) JoAnns<br />
Pink and purple twine ( Doodlebug Design )<br />
Pink and purple floss ( DMC )<br />
Red foil heart stickers (3) American Greetings<br />
Patterned papers for pages & tags 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 (2), 2 x 1 3/4 (4), 2 x 1 1/2 (3- I used cut a parts from a 6x6 pad- Be Mine by Pebbles) and some from my scraps, and 5 x 2 1/4 (5)<br />
Cropadile or hole punch<br />
Wet adhesive<br />
Bone folder<br />
<br />
First, cut one sleeve on one end and painted it with the Lavender acrylic paint, then cut one sleeve on one end and painted it and the other two with the Leaf Green. This may take 2 or 3 coats. Allow to dry thoroughly. With Cropadile, punch 4 holes in one end of the sleeves, and of the ones that are cut at one end, punch holes in the other end.<br />
Assemble together by having the lavender sleeve on the outside of the mini, then the two green uncut sleeves with the green cut one in the center. Glue the bottoms of the two green pages that have not been cut, making a pocket. Thread pink twine through two of the four holes and tie into a bow, then do the same with the other two holes. I applied a dab of adhesive to the centers of the bows to keep them tied. I used a bone folder to fold back the pages and scored the pages as well so they would open easier.<br />
Make 5 tags 5 x 2 1/4 with patterned paper. I made them twice as long so I could fold them and have a double- sided tag. I glued mine to make them stiffer. Punch a hole in the tops and thread twine through the holes and tie off. On 3 of my tags I used both colors of twine and alternated the other color of floss to tie bows onto the twine, along with threading the I, heart and U beads onto the floss before tying into a bow.<br />
Place the two tags in the first green pocket page and the other three in the back pocket page, with the I, heart and U in this order facing. Decorate your pages with the rest of the papers and stickers.<br />
<br />
I think this little mini is just adorable! I wasn't sure it was going to turn out this good, but I sure was happily surprised! This was so fun to put together.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
Hoping your week is going well so far. I have a new card that, hopefully, opens up the door to Summer. This card is going to my sister who lives out of state and I sure hope she likes it. She is the one with the green thumb, not me for sure!<br />
<br />

I got the inspiration ( I basically scrap lifted ) from Stephanie at Stamps of Life. She did a similar card, and this is her stamp set for the May stamp set of the month, which I am enjoying!<br />
<br />
Here is what I used:<br />
Stamps of Life Garden 2 Stamp set<br />
Copic Markers- YG06, B00, B93, G21, R32, R46<br />
Archival Ink- black (I should have used another ink, found that the alcohol markers make this ink smear)<br />
Distress Inks- Mermaid Lagoon, Peeled Paint and Lemonade<br />
Recollections cs- white, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 3 3/4 x 5, 2 x 1 1/2 ( 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 will cover what you need<br />
Recollections cs- blue 4 x 5 1/4<br />
Small clear gemstones (I could have gone smaller with these)<br />
Tim Holtz Blending tool and foam pad<br />
Pop ups or dimensionals<br />
<br />
I started with the piece of white paper ( 3 3/4 x 5 ) to do my stamping and background. For the background I used a piece of scrap paper that I cut scallops on and made a template for the clouds. With Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon, I tapped the color onto the paper with the Tim Holtz Ink Blending Tool and a foam pad. I cut a 1" circle from another scrap paper and used it to make the sun with Lemonade Distress Ink. Then I used Peeled Paint to make the grass.<br />
<br />
I used the 3 flower stamps and the watering can stamp from the stamp set and colored them with the Copic markers, cut them out or use the coordinating dies. Use dimensionals to pop them up on the card. I then stamped the sentiment on the 2 x 1 1/2 piece of white cs and also popped it up on the upper left corner. Apply the gemstones as the water drops coming from the watering can.<br />
<br />
What a cute card! I just love it!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting y'all!<br />

<br />
This project is not a card, but a sign. It takes a bit more time and effort, but with great results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq4WQBwq5nKTPiS7wkp0Cc97rgpHrMoc3Y2RCWqmvzt1dlFxi25o7yiYyA3mpJU4cEelKFRQ7NB0uwdyZZvOPQeRNJmHUEwdXh59AsvrrSRHYmom4U8hyphenhyphenA1E5Nbcr8W0Ob-MyiOkl9nEo/s1600/Supermanwm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="451" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq4WQBwq5nKTPiS7wkp0Cc97rgpHrMoc3Y2RCWqmvzt1dlFxi25o7yiYyA3mpJU4cEelKFRQ7NB0uwdyZZvOPQeRNJmHUEwdXh59AsvrrSRHYmom4U8hyphenhyphenA1E5Nbcr8W0Ob-MyiOkl9nEo/s320/Supermanwm.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
Here's what I used:<br />
<br />
Cricut <br />
Black, red, yellow and blue cs.<br />
I purchased the Superman logo SVG on Etsy. <br />
Wooden board from Hobby Lobby @16x21<br />
Strong adhesive<br />
<br />
I used my Cricut to cut out the letters, logo and stars. I cut them at 1 1/2" and used the Franklin Gothic font for the black letters and the Engravers MT font for the blue ones.<br />
<br />
The size of the stars are as for the black star is 3 3/4" and for the yellow stars is 3 1/2".<br />
The size of the logo is @ 4 1/4 or on the Cricut mat it is 4.127x 5.5.<br />
<br />
The spacing just depends on the size of your sign. This one was, I believe, 21 inches tall. I spaced them about 3/4" between the lines and then same amount of space on each side of the lines.<br />
<br />
I have made two of these so far, one for my hubby's office and one for a friend to give to her husband. I have all letters, stars and logo saved in my Cricut Design Space, so they are there if I need them again. I definitely used a ruler to keep my letters nicely leveled.<br />
<br />
Make one, you will love it!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
Hope all is well. This card has another really cool and simple technique called the Faux Torn Paper Technique. This is one I found on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXtky8yhemI"> Ingrid Blackburn's Channel</a> onYouTube. Easy with great results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhon9ie68sZ5tddrqnkMM8MaU9ecTtKikFtTZng2lMY4eH8SFJv3Tpmxw99NgCLdTLn4HAWWEXZtMJIHQcR4XDM0TmeE7CSes1VxN1dqpnBhmb4IeTahd4O1unLGDl4Z2Zh5Go1WVaIv84/s1600/Hellowm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="402" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhon9ie68sZ5tddrqnkMM8MaU9ecTtKikFtTZng2lMY4eH8SFJv3Tpmxw99NgCLdTLn4HAWWEXZtMJIHQcR4XDM0TmeE7CSes1VxN1dqpnBhmb4IeTahd4O1unLGDl4Z2Zh5Go1WVaIv84/s320/Hellowm.jpg" width="255" /></a></div>
I applied this technique on top of the card base, but you can do it on a 3.75 x 5 piece of white card stock and mat with a black piece of 4x 5 1/4 card stock.<br />
<br />
Here is what you will need:<br />
White cs 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, and 3 3/4 x 5<br />
Black cs 4 x 5 1/4<br />
Choice of ink ( I used Stampin Up Tangerine Tango)<br />
Any background stamp ( I used an Inkadinkado stamp)<br />
White cs for the letters that spell hello ( I used my Scan N Cut to cut out hello)<br />
or you can use white letters and stamp on top of those.<br />
<br />
Use Ingrid's video to make the card and do the Faux Torn Paper Technique. It's fast and really makes a statement. Continue watching the video for more techniques you may want to try.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

The cow is a digital image from <a href="https://bugaboostamps.com/">bugaboostamps.com </a>It's on sale right now so check them out. Here's what you will need:<br />
<br />
Solid color card stock ( I used Recollections red) 7x 9 1/2<br />
White card stock (I used Recollections #65) 3 1/4x5 (2) and 3 1/4x 3 1/4, and to print the digi stamp on.<br />
Patterned paper to match 3x5<br />
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Ten, 2 dies, one smaller than the other<br />
Bugaboo digi stamp, one of your choice or a physical stamp and ink<br />
Copic markers R43 and 100 (Pink and Black)<br />
Wink of Stella Dk Pink<br />
Paper Trimmer<br />
Score Board <br />
<br />
First I printed the digi stamp at 3 1/2" tall. I colored the spots with Copic 100 then the nose and udders with R43. I re-colored the nose and udders with the pink Wink of Stella. The cow now has sparkly nose and udders!<br />
I used the smaller die to cut around the cow image, then cut the next bigger size with red card stock.<br />
Watch Dawn's video to assemble the card. It's such a cute one!<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />

<br />
Hope your week was awesome! Finally, the sun is out and the weather is more like Spring.<br />
<br />
Well I have an interesting card tonight, a fun technique. Get out that texture paste and a cool stencil, and let's get busy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
Texture paste (I used Martha Stewart Brand)<br />
a Stencil (I used the shark from a set of 25 white stencils with a Nautical theme)<br />
Glimmer Mist (I used Creme de Chocolat)<br />
Heidi Swapp Color Shine (I used Teal) by Pink Paislee<br />
Alcohol Pearls Kit #2 - Tranquil and Sublime<br />
Alcohol Blending Solution<br />
Alcohol Inking Tool and pad<br />
Black Diamond Stickles <br />
Palette Knife<br />
Recollections black card stock (I used #110 because I had a scrap just the right size) 4x 5 1/4<br />
Recollections white card stock 8 1/2x 5 1/2 + a piece about 5x6<br />
Adhesive<br />
<br />
I first applied texture paste on the shiny side of my paper stencil to a piece of white card stock, about <br />
5x6. I took my palette knife and make 3 "gills" on the shark then allowed this to dry over night.<br />
I applied both colors of the alcohol pearls along with the blending solution, to the pad on the alcohol inking tool and applied color to the paper around the stenciled shark, getting as close to the shark and the edge of the paper as I could.<br />
Then I used Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in Teal to the top part of the shark. With a folded piece of paper, I covered the top of the shark about 1/2 inch under the top fin. I sprayed the center part of the shark with Glimmer Mist Creme de Chocolat. Then I sprayed some of the teal Color Shine on my mat and with a wooden stick (or you can use a cotton swab) I applied some of the color on the top, the edge of the tail, gills, and the two bottom fins. I let this dry a bit and used Black Diamond Stickles for the shark's eye.<br />
<br />
I let this dry for a couple of hours and cut to fit the piece of black card stock, then adhered it to the white card base.<br />
<br />
Texture paste is a real treat to work with, and meanwhile I am making covers for 2 journals with this same technique. I will have a post on those at a later date.<br />
<br />
Happy crafting!<br />
