For my project today I got the pleasure to use Woof You by all dressed up. i really loved getting to color this darling pooch. I pulled out a great set of stencils and a stamp set that I received in a kit from Hedgehog Hollow recently.

Using a light blue ink I blended over the stencils to create the fun paw and bone background. I needed a sentiment so I finished it with this cute love sentiment. I added a bit of the light blue to the outer edges of the dog panel to give a bit more depth.

I finished the card with some fun dew drop embellishments from The Robin's Nest. 

TULIP LOVE FOILED CARD

 

Hi everyone! Diana here to share a fun spring card using pastels variety pack. 

It's been so cold this last month that I knew I wanted to create a fun spring card. I pulled out some dies and started cutting out my main focal point, the flowers.

I used all three colors in the variety pack to create the flowers. Using the colors and different textures really gave some dimension to them.

Then I used a gradient cardstock set in green meadow colors from Altenew to create the leaves and stems. Here I'm starting to adhere all the pieces together. 

I wanted my flowers and sentiment to pop so I used a fun cover plate in white and layered in onto a white card base. Once I had that put together I started adding my flowers. 

To finish off the card I die cut out the love sentiment and adhered it on the lower right hand corner. I decided not to add any other embellishments as I wanted my foiled flowers to be the center of attention. 

I hope you'll give this fun easy card a go! 

Supplies: 

Rinea Foiled Paper: Variety: Pastels

Other supplies:

Altenew: green meadows gradient cardstock set, script words dies, the right angle cover plate. craft-a-flower: tulip dies

ALWAYS & FOREVER DAY 5 STENCILS UNLEASHED

 

Hi everyone! I have a fun stencil card I created for 

I am having so much fun creating with my stencils and all the different mediums Nicole has shared with us. Today's card is using the flowing hearts stencil. I laid it over watercolor paper and applied limestone ink with a blending brush.

Once I had my base down (it is super light so I can paint). I pulled out my 36 pan watercolor set and started painting in the design. I used the crimson on the outer edge and coral berry for the inside. Using a very fine paint brush I traced around the edges and then painted the middle. 

I then took the on point stencil and using limestone ink again I stenciled it onto my background panel. After it was where I wanted it I stamped some leaves from the leaf canopy stamp set. I also stamped and cut out some in green behind my heart. 

I add a sentiment from sentiment strips and cutting it out with the coordinating die set featured sentiments dies. I finished off the the card using some enamel dots in rock and red cosmos collections. 

All Supplies From Altenew:

leaf canopy stamps/dies, sentiment strips, featured sentiments dies

flowing hearts and on point stencils

36 pan watercolor paint set, limestone, forest glades, frayed leaf, embossing ink

red cosmos and rock collection enamel dots, pure crisp white embossing powder

LOVE YOU MORE THAN COFFEE

 Hi everyone! I'm back today with a fun card for 

We have some great sponsors for today's challenge

Prize: Two digi images of winners choice

Prize: Two digi images of winners choice

Prize: One stamp set of winners choice

For my project today I used coffee and...set from Artsy Stamper. I'm all about anything coffee, which is funny since I used to hate the drink. Once I hit my 40's it was like a light switch and I can't go a morning without!

I used three images from this set. The mug, coffee saying, and the background paper. I added some embossed beans to the paper to give a bit more dimension to my card. 

It's been a long time since I've done a monocramatic card. I really like how all the different browns work together to bring this card all together. 

I kept my coloring pretty simple by just using three shades of brown copics. I did use two cool grey's on the handle and bottom of the mug but I wanted the coffee to be the star.

HOGS & KISSES SENDING LOVE & HUGS

 Hi everyone! Welcome back for the first challenge of 2021 over at

We have two great sponsors for this challenge:

Prize: 4 digi images of the winner's choice

Prize: 3 digi images of the winner's choice

For my card I got to use bobble head greetings "hugs" and kisses from Bugaboo stamps. It took me a few tries to get this cutie colored the way I wanted. I started out trying it in pink and just didn't like it. That's when I decided on grey's.

I had so much fun creating this scene! I wanted the sky slightly pink to give it an evening glow look. I pulled out some fun dies from Honey Bee Stamps to create the burlap background, fence, and grass. 

Once I had all these dies cut and laid out the card just seemed to create itself. Lately I've been watching a lot of youtube videos and scene building seems to be the new fun thing to do. 

I have to say, after making this card, I'm hooked!!

LOVE YOU MORE THAN CANDY CORN

 Hi everyone! I'm here today sharing a fun card I made using a variety of new products I've received over the last week. I am all about this time of year and seeing a fun candy corn stamp set is right up my alley!!

For this card I added two different challenges together. A sketch challenge and a color challenge. 

To be able to use all the colors (I know, there's only three lol) I decided to color my candy corn with the cajun craze as the bottom and the pumpkin pie as the middle and leave the top white. 

I did follow the sketch "loosely" to get the look I was going for. I wanted some type of shaped background so I searched through the cricut design center and found this web panel. Once I cut it out I adhered it over a piece of pumpkin pie cardstock and added it to my card base. 

I cut two 1/2" strips from cajun craze and mint macaron. One at 5 1/4" and one at 5" and lightly layered one over the other. 

Once I did that I stamped all of my images using my misti and then colored them all in. Once they were cut and colored I started creating my scene. After everything was adhered down I took my wink of stella glitter brush and added some glimmer to the spider web. 

I didn't want to use any other embellishments other than the candy corn pieces and the glitter brush. I love this card!!

SENDING LOVE

 Hi ! I'm hear today to share a fun card I made using distress oxide ink.  Now I don't have the new color just yet (it's ordered) but I figured I might as well play with my other colors. 

This is the card I came up with. I wish I would have chosen a larger image so I could have more of the blue color. I really love it and wanted more. 

Using my Taylored Expressions blender brushes I started out with the candied apple distress oxide and blended it down to cover the first third of the heart. 

I then followed it with peacock feathers ink blending it slightly into the candied apple. 

Finally I added the mustard seed making sure to blend it into the peacock feather. I did need to go back in with the blue as the mustard seed blended a bit to well lol. I finished it up by taking a cloth or paper towel and wiping the ink off the white embossed heart image.

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge over at

Today's challenge is to create a layout using a slant or angle. 

I decided to do angles for my layout. I first started by using embossing paste and orange cream spray and mixing them together. I then used the paste over a large stencil all over my white cardstock.  I then took the same spray and added some splatter.

I cut the cardstock into two angled pieces and added them to my light peachy heart background paper. 

I love how it adds just a bit of difference to the layout and it's something I haven't done before.

This picture is from our 21st wedding anniversary back in 2015. We went out for a pretty fancy dinner (we never do that) and a little shopping. It was a great night. 

Now it's your turn! Create your layout and share with us over at the blog!!
