Mixed Media CAS card!

Here is my final entry for the MFT Superstar Card Contest. This time I decided to play with some stencils, stamps and dies to create this CAS mixed media card. I love how these flowers are so versatile and are perfect for any card style. Guess I am having too much fun using these...lol

Pattern Play!

Here is my second entry for the MFT Superstar Card Contest. This time I decided to play with the patterns. I made the background patterned paper using the leaves from the Flashy Florals stamp set. I used Delicata Black shimmer ink. I then cut the tiny check patterned paper. I sponged some ink for my next mat layer. For the final layer behind the florals I used the biggest of the Precious Polaroid frames dies.

I normally would have gone for some watercolor effect but this stamp just called for a layered card :) AND I am happy I did go for it.

Thanks for dropping by! I will add the supplies tomorrow :)

Acetate card with Gilded background!

Hello everyone!!! Yup, it's been long since I shared any project here. I was away last week in Phoenix to be with the wonderful peeps at Richard Garay and Fun Stamper's journey. It was such a fun learning experience. It felt like being part of a small crafty family :)

I wanted to play along the MFT Superstar Card Contest but was experiencing jetlag so wasn't able to create. I felt much better today and had to play along as I love love MFT stamps and dies, eventhough I don't have many of their products at the moment. 

So I decided to challenge myself to use the beautiful florals I have and play with them using a different technique than normal watercoloring :)

I used acetate on my card front and I did use gilding flakes for this wonderful effect. I really like the Autumn hues and hope you like it too.

Thanks for dropping by! I will add the supplies tomorrow as it's getting late here and I am glad to be able to finish in time :)

You're Nice!!

Hello everyone!

Today I am on the SugarPea Design blog. I got this cute little foxy card to share with you all. I used the Fall Fox stamp set and the coordinating Fall Fox SugarCuts. I also used the Zig Zag Stitched Circles SugarCuts.

I love autumn and I really enjoy coloring in cute little critters. So naturally, I fell in love with this cute fox immediately! Check out the SugarPea Design Blog to check on more info about the card.

Love you a Bunch!

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! Today I am sharing a card using the lovely inspiration photo for our September challenge over at Waffle Flower Crafts.

I used: A Bunch stamp set, Mini Trifold Notes Die, Chunky Chevron Die
I got inspired by the colors. The white space, texture and the circles of the garlands floating around. I did some dry embossing using the chevron die for added texture!

Challenge ends on the 25th of each month. You can link up your creations and will find all the information along with the prize details HERE.

Watercolor Congrats (Laura's 10K blog hop)

Hello everyone!

Welcome to this amazing video blog hop hosted by Laura Sterckx. She's celebrating 10K subscribers on her YouTube Channel. Congrats Laura for reaching this milestone! :)

I created this card using stamps by Altenew and the inspiration photo from their current challenge. 
I got inspired by the design. The bowl of yummy washi tape is the focal image for me, surrounded by lots of elements. And also the yellow, blue, red hues. My daughter took my red marker so I used pink instead.

Here's my video. You'll find futher details like the next stop on your hop in the video description box.

There are some amazing sponsors & giveaways. You must subscribe to Laura’s YouTube channel & leave comments along videos of the hop for your chance to win. Check out Laura’s blog for more information.

Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp Release Blog Hop! Now I can't wait for autumn to come with its beautiful colors, and lots of opportunities to cuddle up with a warm cup of tea ;)

So without further ado, here's my card:

I really love the cute critters from the Funny Forest Critter Crew. I chose the squirrel surrounded by nuts and leaves. The coordinating dies makes it super easy and fun to cut out tons of leaves at once.

For the background, I used this Mini Autumn Leaves stamp. It's perfect to create your own background paper!

Party Like A Rockstar

Hello everyone!

Today is a special post and I am so excited to tell you that I will be guest designing for Your Next Stamp in the month of September. I recently came across their products and fell in love with them.

You can check out my Introductory post HERE.

For my card today I used this cuuuteee Monster from Silly Monster Rockstars stamp set. I used the matching dies too.

I first created the galaxy background as it's perfect with the sentiment...why if you are thinking. It's cos I have half the sentiment to the inside of my card. So the sentiment is Party like a ROCKSTAR. And I just went with the word STAR...lol

It was fun coloring him :)

And the inside of the card

I want to thank Karen and Julie for inviting me over. And don't forget to check out the shop...you will really love all the awesome products!!
