I really enjoyed making this card with a Bethlehem theme. I used a darker blue with silver and a pop of brown, I love these three colors together. The Denim Days cardstock works great for a dark sky. I added stars in the sky with the Starry Sky stencil. The star is embossed in silver…

California Sunshine
The California sunshine is really hot right now so I have been enjoying some pool time. This cute little Drink Up The Sunshine, My Favorite Things stamp set, is just too cute. I was excited to use some printed paper on this card. Like the jungle card that I made, I decided to try and…
Mermaids are Winners!
Another fun sentiment showing that Mermaids are winners. Tee hee! The background is the same as the previous card (Shark Music). I used the outside of the FSJ die Sparkle Mermaid Tail die on the background. I then Splashed a piece of Whip Cream Cardstock with the Distress Inks and the FSJ Splash to create…
Shark Music
Shark Music is what I call this card. I saw this funny sentiment by Rubbernecker at the Santa Clara expo and I couldn’t wait to use it. Within a week Fun Stampers Journey came out with Shark Attack stamps and dies so I paired these with the Flying Music from Rubberneckers.
Wild One
Oh wow! My grandson’s first birthday is coming up in September. I just can’t believe he is going to be one already. I had so much fun finding these stamps and dies to create this fun jungle themed card. I used copics to color and used my Scan N Cut to create the “Grayson is…
Cluck Cluck Cluck!
This card was so punny! I found Rubbernecker Stamps at the Santa Clara, CA, Scrapbook Expo a couple of weeks ago and spent a little time in their booth. They had so many fun things. One of the things I really like is that you can purchase individual stamps. For example, I could have purchased…
Have a Cupcake or Two!
This fun Layered Cupcake card is another amazing layered stamp set from Altenew. It is a quick and easy way to create a fun birthday card. Remember that most Altenew stamp sets also have matching dies. Altenew has a great variety of shades in each ink color family. I think this really makes the layer…
Magnolia for Her colored with Inktense Pencils
Each time I use my Inktense pencils I fall in love more. I created 22 of these cards for a swap I joined for the local Scrapbook Expo. With a whole lot of coloring on these magnolia flowers, I sharpened these pencils and never had a breakage. I LOVE these pencils. These pencils have “ink”…
Garden Picks 3D Birthday Card
I love the layering dies from Altenew like I have shared on previous posts, but when I saw these 3D layering dies, I thought… not sure those are for me. Well I was wrong! I kept seeing these amazing card with these dies so I thought I would try one. This is my first card…
Magic Picture Slider Card
This magic window card was so fun. I was working on a swap or some very special friends and wanted to do something different than my usual card. I saw this adorable Lawn Fawn Magic Picture frame and thought “that’s it!” Flamingos were a perfect pairing for this little card.
Peruvian Lily Love
This Peruvian Lily has so many layers of stamping but oh so worth it!!! I am finding that the Altenew layered flowers are my favorites!! It is such a great surprise each month to receive the Build-a-Flower stamp set. This stamp set always comes with a die too. I saw a video from Jennifer McGuire…
