Furry Friend with a dash of Glitter

Hello there. 

Sharing a card I made for my mom's birthday. 

She loves squirrels so I used the Lawn Fawn's  "Critters in the Burbs"  and "Chit Chat"  sets.

The background panel was made with texture paste mixed with Distress Ink and Martha Stewart fine glitter on the Hero Arts Monogram stencil.

The cloud background is washi tape.

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Furry Friends Challenge and the Lawnscaping Sparkle and Shine Challenge (glitter in the texture paste).

 Click on photo to see it better.

 

Hard to see but I put Martha Stewart fine glitter in the texture paste.

 

Have a GREAT day,

Kelly

Made with Love

Sharing a card I made for the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Have a Heart

This one will go to Emma.  
I am hosting a card drive for a 7yr old girl diagnosed with Leukemia.
The drive goes until July 2014!

You can get the details HERE on how to join the drive.  

I am offering prizes (one is to Simon Says Stamp).

This card features Simon Says Stamp's own Stamp set and die "YOU".

 


I found the washi tape at Michaels.  
The "you" was die cut in red and the "are loved" was stamped 
with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Valentines for "Cards from the Heart"

Hi there!  
Today I am sharing some cards I made for the Cards from the Heart Card Drive hosted by Winter Sims.  This card drive is in its 5th year.  I used a variety of products for these. 

The first card was inspired by Lin and her card I pinned HERE.
That heart is a punch I layered about 5 times.

 


This card features Lawn Fawn's "Your Future is Bright" stamp set that was a special release for Studio Calico.  The heart was stamped with red distress and embossed with clear powder for a nice shine.  

  

The next two cards feature the same heart from the
 "Your Future is Bright" set and sentiment by Hero Arts.

 

This final card contains a panel embossed with a 

Cuttlebug embossing folder with a heart punched out.

That heart stamp is by Stampin' Up! That top panel is raised with foam.

   

Thanks for stopping by. 

 I hope you will consider submitting cards for the drive.  

She needs them by the end of January!!

Great prize sponsors.

See you soon,

Kelly

STS#1: Good Times!

Played along with the sketch from Seize the Sketch.

It is a new sketch challenge!

I was inspired by the invitation below to create a background out of distress inks.

I started with a white panel and blended the inks to create a cotton candy look.

The stripes on the sketch were made with washi tape.

Rather than the star, I stamped the Lawn Fawn camera and colored with with Copics.  Then, I cut it out and adhered it with dimensional foam.

I added the wood veneer bubble for fun.  I used distress ink to color it.

I used three different stamp companies on the inside

 (Paper Smooches, Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp)

 Here was the invite for the party:

 

Here's the sketch:

Feel like I am getting my crafty MOJO back...

Lego Ninjago Party Invite

Our little guy's 6th birthday is in a couple of weeks.

He wanted a Lego Ninjago themed cake so I use that for his party invitation.

The Ninja was copied from one of the Lego instruction manuals and printed on lightweight card stock for the printer. I popped him with dimensional foam.

The Lego "brick" was handmade with a hand punch.  

There's two layers of dots on there.

It was so painstaking to layer so I stopped at two layers.

I put a coat of Glossy Accents on the brick to make it more realistic. 

Hard to see that in photo.

Supplies:

Ninja: Lego Instruction manual

Dies: Simon Says Stamp  "you" and "speech bubble"

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Harold's ABCs"

Other: star embossing folder, washi tape, handmade brick, Glossy Accents

Christmas card using washi!

Sharing another Christmas card.

This was was inspired by the Freckled Fawn Card Sketch contest at PageMaps. 

So happy to use my washi tape!  I only have three rolls!

The card features MME papers and Stamps by Deasy Designs.

I stamped the star from the set on the yellow washi.

The red polka dot to the left of the circle is also washi tape.

Here's the sketch from PageMaps:

Christmas Postcard

Hello.

 This Christmas card theme was inspired by
this week's Jingle Belles challenge called "Going Postal".

I teamed up my "Tis the Season" set by Deasy Designs

 with  Lawn Fawn's "You've Got Mail" and "On the Mend".

The patterned papers are MME's "Merry". 

The cute net ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel.  

I made the star the elf is holding with washi tape and a punch.
He was colored with Prismacolor pencils and cut out.

I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp: Put a Stamp On it Challenge!

I may have to make some more of these!

Thanks for looking,

Sharing a card I made for Father's Day for my father-in-law.

Glossy accents on the windshield and headlights.

Chevron patterned paper is by Moxxie.

Used 3 different sets (Lawn Fawn's "Harold's ABCs" and "On the Mend" & 

Paper and Such "Daisies") to create this inside sentiment:
