{ March 2016 Drops Of Jupiter kit from Scraptastic Club }

Good morning. I wanted to share my other three layouts that I created with March 2016 Drops Of Jupiter kit and add-on. I shared my first one earlier this month.

For this layout I used an older photo that I found recently. It’s from 2011 of Alex in the back yard chasing bubbles. I added some gold foiled paper and cut files from my stash.

For this layout I used the triangle mask in the kit and added some stamping from Drops Of Jupiter stamp set.

For the last layout I added some gesso to the patterned paper background, to tone it down. Then I added whipped spackle through the mask.

That is all from me today. I am waiting on Cherry Pie April kit and add-on.

{ March 2016 Card Kit from Scraptastic Club }

Good morning. I have a blog post on Scraptastic Blog sharing the cards I created with the brand new March 2016 Card Kit. I paired the kit with super fun DecoFoil from Therm O Web.

For the first card I used several different elements from the kit and added some twine from my stash. I love all the gold and shiny elements in this kit that I decided to add my own touches of gold with gold Deco Foil and Deco Foil Adhesive. In this card I applied the adhesive to the chevrons.

For my second card I used one of the exclusive sentiment stickers that I adhered to the tag and folded over the edges. I tucked some pink thread under the heart. I added gold foil around the edges and at the bottom of photo frame.

For my last card I used the exclusive stamp set that I heat embossed on the black tag that was in the ephemera pack. I used the “x” in the stamp set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I layered several of the elements from the kit under the tag. The pink sticker tag I cut in half and tucked it under both sides of the tag. The stickers are from the March 2016 Card Subscriber Extra Stickers.

Have a great Monday.

Here is my card for today.

I started the card by stamping the background with Cover-a-card background Lattice. I used my brand new stencil from StecilGirl Products and Whipped Spackle to add some striped circles.

I die cut the Ornate Oval Frame and adhered gold polka dot vellum with a stamped sentiment from Hello stamp set on the tag. I die cut a rose from Spiral Rose Set and added it to the frame with glitter ribbon. I love using Therm O Web Zots adhesive Dots for those little roses. I roll the flower and add a little Zot at the end and it holds it together.
The Hello is die cut from adhesive backed foam. I love it. I got two sheets, black and this pink color from Bazzill. I added white paint to some of the elements on the card and sprinkled color shine.

Come back tomorrow for another card. Have a great Thursday!

{ Favorite Friend card for Elle’s Studio }

Good morning. I have a quick card share for Elle’s Studio I created using our new 6 x 6 Little Moments paper pad.

 
Products used: Little Moments 6 x 6 Paper Stack, Jonah Alphabet Stamp, The Story Of Stamp, Little Moments – Word Labels, Little Moments – Journaling Tags, Little Moments – Bits and Pieces, Acrylic Stars – Spring Mix

I layered two different patterned papers from the 6 x 6 paper stack for the card base, one slightly smaller than the other.

I layered journaling tags and bits and pieces with word labels to create my card front. I found the perfect ink color for my stamped “friends” to go along with my “You’ll always be my favorite” sentiment. I added some ribbon with a button and twine to the tag and added some enamel dots and an acrylic star. I used Therm O Web Zots adhesive Dots to adhere the star, and Sticky Dot Mini Runner to adhere all the paper elements.

Have a great Monday!

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Easter Fun }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Easter Fun. For this card I used all my new stamps and dies.

The background is stamped with Circle Fusion 2 background stamp and that one is not new, but one of my favorites. I wanted some color and texture in the background, but nothing too bright. I only inked a part of the stamp so that it wouldn’t cover the full piece of cardstock.

The new Easter Egg Set die has three different egg dies. I used the largest one since it coordinates with the Ornate Egg 1 die (and Ornate Egg 2). The strip of patterned paper is from Elle’s Studio and it was sitting on my desk just waiting to be used. It contains my favorite colors. I die cut “happy” from cardstock and stamped “Easter” on a little journaling tag that I adhered with foam adhesive. I couldn’t resist adding a little yellow flower with twine to the egg. A touch of sprinkles and sequins to finish the card.

Impression Obsession Stamps and Dies:

Happy
Ornate Egg 1
Easter Egg Set
Greetings
Circle Fusion 2

{ DeNami Design Guest Designer }

I am back again for with my second card I created for DeNami Design using Owl With Flower and One Of A Kind stamps.

For this card I started by adding two strips of patterned paper to the top of the card. I tied ribbon over the seam and added a button with twine to the bow. The Owl With Flower is stamped once and then I created the mask to stamp the other three so they look like they are standing behind each other. I colored the owls with watercolor crayons. I stamped the sentiment under the owls in black ink. I added some circles with ink and a mask.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you visit DeNami Design blog.

{ March 2016 Drops Of Jupiter kit from Scraptastic Club }

I am sharing my first layout with March 2016 Drops Of Jupiter kit and add-on on Scraptastic Blog today. I absolutely loved the glassine bag with the striped washi tape that some of the elements came in and used that as part of my layout. That was my starting point along with patterned paper. After that I just added bits and pieces from the kit. Those that follow me on Istagram have seen this kit and sneaks of this layout. Lots of pretty blue color in my feed the last few days.

This was very popular kit and it sold out fast. Thre are still other kits available from this month and some bits and pieces from this kit: Drops Of Jupiter Die Cuts, Drops Of Jupiter Flair, Drops Of Jupiter Digital Files, Drops Of Jupiter add-on stickers. 

I hope you check out the blog for more details about the layout.

I will be sharing more layouts with this kit and cards with March 2016 Card Kit.

{ DeNami Design Guest Designer }

I am thrilled to share some fun projects this week as a Guest Designer for Denami Design. Today, on DeNami Design blog, I am sharing this card that I created with Cupcake Owl Trio and Celebrating You stamp sets.

To create my card I started by adding ink through a stencil onto a card base.  Then I added three different pieces of washi tape to the card front. I added a gold flower rub-on at the top and a tag over the whole area. Under the right side of the tag I tucked a gold polka dot banner. The image was stamped on a die cut circle and colored with watercolor pencils. I inked the edges and colored some of the circle with distress ink. The circle is adhered to the card with 3D foam squares.

I stamped “Celebrating You” sentiment on a tag and adhered it to the card. For the final touch, I added three buttons are sprinkles of pink color shine.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you visit DeNami Design blog.

{ March 2016 Memory Keepers Studio by Technique Tuesday }

Our March release of Memory Keepers Studio – Good Stuff and Fresh Cut Studio – Greatest ships on 3/15. Plus, check out all that is new and available for March. Here is what I created with the set.

Yesterday, when I set down to create with this stamp set I knew that the photo from our outing that day would be perfect. We are on spring break and it’s been raining non stop. We went to IKEA to meet a friend and have lunch. When we got home I printed this photo and started with this layout. I went “shopping” in my stash. Some of these were my most recent purchases from Emma’s Paperie and some were older purchases from there (mostly Crate Paper rubo-ons and stickers). I used several of the bits and pieces from my Scraptastic Club kit, Elle’s Studio March kit (available on 3/10) and the newest, Little Moments collection (available on 3/10).

The stamps from the Good Stuff set I stamped on the little tags from Elle’s Studio, “adventure” and “snapshot” and the “today’s” banner on white cardstock with pink ink. In addition, I stamped arrows (in black) and the little flower border (in orange) directly on the layout. The polka dot patterned paper is toned down with white gesso.

There are lost of layers, but everything works so well together. It was a very quick and easy layout and I just love it.

Here is a card I created with Bird Friends, but haven’t shared. I also used Planner – Today Tabs and Accent Tabs - Fresh Cut Studio Dies - Feb 2016.

Make sure you visit Technique Tuesday blog for all the new releases and inspiration.
