For The Happy Couple....

It's that time of year again, when weddings are popping up all over!  Today's card for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps features the CLR027 Scalloped Oval clear set, D027 Scalloped Oval Die and the D034 Floral Border Die. 

I paired these up with papers from Authentique's Delightful 6x6 Bundle and a CheeryLynn Die.  Lace is from my scrap bin...and a few little flutterbies to finish off my card! 

MarkerPop Embossed Gift Box with Belly Band

 

Happy Weekend!!

 

Today I have a post for MarkerPop featuring a fun little gift box that is always handy to have on hand. This is a clear box that I ran through my Big Shot with an embossing folder! How absolutely fun and easy is that?! I simply slid a piece of pink cardstock into the box on top of the cards and there you have a simply packaged but oh so pretty little gift box! I made a fun belly band to decorate my box using a Wild Rose Studio set: CL294 Bunny With Cake. I colored the image with Copic Markers:w7, w3, e59, e44, e43, e42, e41, b000, r89, r46, r85, r83, r81, 0 colorless blender. To make a quick and easy belly band, I embellished a wide piece of brown ribbon with some of my favorite washi tape! It adds a fun touch of detail, is fun, easy and quick!

 

Check out that cake! I got the *cakey* appearance by coloring the cake with my darkest pink color and then applying some Copic Colorless Blender solution to an old terry cloth scrap and dabbing it onto the cake! LOVE!!!! How simple and easy and fun! Other fun touches are the faux stitching in a white gel pen and distressing with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

 

Supplies:

Wild Rose Studio: CL294 Bunny With Cake

Copic Markers

Washi Tape

 

Make it a great day!

New Draw Me A Daydream Release!

Hello there!  Today is the McMahon Five Designs Release....and it's packed full of fun!  Time has not been on my side these weeks...so while I've been busy playing with the Draw Me A Daydream images...be sure to bop by the McMahon Five Designs Blog to see all of the fun stuff that is also being released!  It's gorgeousness!

I am demoing two new images from the Draw Me A Daydream line.

This image comes from Draw Me A Daydream's Butterfly Wishes set.  I used the pre-colored image for this card, fussy cut it and created a fun little scene with some candi and scraps from my desk.  What a fun happy little card to show up to add a smile to someone's day!

Here is another version I colored with Copic Markers and paired up with Simple Stories' and My Minds' Eye paper collections.  There are three sentiments that come with this set.

And here is a third virsion.  For the butterfly on this one, I colored it with a series of dots and then blended just a touch.

Also releasing this week is the Golfer Guy set.

 I paired up the images with papers from a Simple Stories paper collection and a few Candi dots here as well.

and here is another rendering using the original sketched image and papers from the same collection!

Your Day To Shine!

Today I'm sharing a card using the  CLR027 Scalloped Oval set from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps and the D027 Scalloped Oval Die.

I used papers from Authentique's Delightful 6x6 Bundle.  I stamped the designed oval on designer paper and then applied Perfect Pearls to the wet ink for the subtle shimmer you see.  I stamped the design border with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink onto pink designer paper, cut it out and embellished it further with Candi dots.

I love the delicate Scalloped Oval Die adding a peek of lace....a great girly card!

Teacher Appreciation Week~

This week sneeks up on me every year...but I do like to pop in and let the teachers know that we're thankful for all they have opened up to our kids each year and thank them for all they put up with as they endeavor to do so!

This year I made cards featuring this image from From The Heart Stamps called Star Teacher.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and then combined them with papers from Simple Stories' Snap Life collection.

Happy Friday all!
