I used Abigail again and this card is my favorite from the 3 that I have made. I first started out stamping Abigail and her outfit from Live Love Grow Stamp set onto white cardstock. I colored her in with Copic Markers and fussy cut her and the outfit out. I made my background using white cardstock cut to a A2 size and 2 different Distress inks Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire Oxide ink. I ink blended my cardstock and grabbed a scrap of cardstock to help with my design. I chose to do something unplanned and fun since I love stripes. My stripes are not even and that makes me like it even more. I sprayed some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Spray for fun. I am loving all the blues.

I used Sweet Cuts Circle Scalloped Frames with white cardstock. I also used Sweet Cuts Sweet Hello with white cardstock cut out a few times and Holographic cardstock. I layered everything onto a A2 card base. Lastly, I added some clear sequins. I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun making this card.

I first started out stamping the doll and outfit with black ink on white cardstock. I colored this doll Emma with black hair and used the stamp set Tackle One Cup at a Time for her outfit. I used pink ink to color her outfit and shoes using a blending brush. I fussy cut her outfit and used a black Copic marker to clean up the edges a little. I stamped the coffee cup with the same pink ink and fussy cut it out.

I made my background using kraft A2 size cardstock and the solid coffee cup from the stamp set using brown ink. I just rotated my stamp block. I stamped my sentiment onto pink cardstock and cut it with my paper trimmer. I glued everything to a pink A2 card base and added my sentiment with foam tape. Lastly, I added some pink Doodlbug Sprinkles to match. I hope you like my card for today. I will be back tomorrow!

I started out with some white cardstock. Using my Mini Misti I stamped Abigail with some black alcohol friendly ink. I also stamped her outfit and flip flops from the Aloha Stamp set. I colored her in as well as her outfit and flip flops with Copic Markers. I used the Sweet Cuts Abigail to cut her out and I fussy cut the outfit and flip flops. I used a black Copic marker to clean up the edges a little on my die-cuts. I used a craft knife to cut a slit for the purse, for Abigail to hold it.

I cut out a A2 cardstock rectangle and ink blended the background with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Aloha stamp set onto my panel using black ink. I copic colored one of the borders to match. I glued everything to a A2 card base and added Abigail with foam tape. Lastly, I added some sequins. I hope you like it.

I stamped a sentiment from Spell binders Wildflowers Stamp with black ink and used the Sentiment Labels with the same yellow and wood cardstock. I used an A2 card base and added everything to it. Lastly, I used Pops Of Color in Pearl Lemon Chiffon.

With All My Heart

Happy Mother’s Day! This is the first Mother’s Day without my mom physically here. I hope she is celebrating in Heaven and knows how very much I miss and love her. I have a card today using Simon Says Stamp products. I will have links below of the supplies I used using my Affiliate links. Of course there is no extra charge to you when you click on the links. It just helps me out. Thank you for your support.

I started out with some Neenah Desert Storm 80lb. cardstock. I cut it down approx. 5×6 so that I can place it in my Misti stamping Tool. I used this Beautiful Magnolia Background stamp. I inked it up with Versamark ink and used my powder tool on my cardstock to emboss with Wow Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder. I used my heat tool and heated up the powder. Super pretty, I should use it more often.

Next, I colored in my Magnolia Background with my Altenew Woodless Coloring Pencils. I had fun and it was so relaxing coloring with colored pencils. Another thing I should do more often. I had started out with white, and Moss. I colored the empty space with Starlight. I then added a touch of Maple Yellow and Yellow Ochre to the centers. When I was done coloring I cut out my panel with the A2 Marquee Dies using the largest rectangle.

I flicked some gold paint splatters using my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors-Red Gold using a paintbrush and a little bit of water. I wanted to make a shaker card without taking to much from my background so I grabbed some clear packaging and cut it to fit over my panel. I used double sided tape to secure my panel. I left one side open to place some sequins into my shaker. I then secured it with some more tape. I added some foam to the back of my shaker background before adhering it to my 110lb. card base. I used Tim Holtz Metallic Sticker Book for my sentiment layered on Neenah cardstock. I added that sentiment with tape and added a few blue sequins. I hope you like it, it was so much fun to do.

Thank you for stopping by!

I really love this stencil. It’s so pretty. I chose to use Catherine Pooler Sauna ink Cube with Hammermill cardstock using my Waffle Flower Crafts Mat. When I was done ink blending I cut it out with a Spellbinders die using the largest die. I then used some Mica Spray to flick some over my panel.

I had a foiled sentiment that I had used the Solid Hot Foil Plate from Pinkfresh Studio with Glimmer Gold Foil using my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. I also used a Simon Says Stamp Encouragement Sentiment Strip. I just cut it down to fit my card. I glued my panel to a A2 card base and added my sentiments.
