Friends Brighten Your Day


 I just love this big Pink Magnolia stamp from Stampendous, it's fun to color and I have so many plans for it too, I might even try pink! 

The image is colored with Prisma Colored Pencils and layered onto patterned paper.
The sentiment is from the True Friends Perfectly Clear Set also from Stampendous, it was stamped with black ink and the word "brighten" was outlined with an orange pencil.
To finish it off sequins were randomly added to the card.  
Adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L were used to pop up and stick down the images and sequins.

Sunshine and Shade



Today my card is filled with mousey cuteness.  This Rainy Play House-Mouse Designs Stamp is from Stampendous and they have a LARGE variety of House-Mouse stamps.

Rainy Play was stamped on Mixed Media White Cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink.  The image was then colored with Prisma Colored Pencils.  Everything was stuck down and popped up using adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.This is an easy card, it just takes a bit of coloring.

Bloom With Grace


Hi my crafty friends, today I have a clean and simple card using the new, cute Lily of the Valley House-Mouse Designs stamp from Stampendous

To make my card, I stamped Mixed Media White Paper with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and colored with Prisma Colored Pencils.  It was then layer onto a slightly larger blue panel. The sweet sentiment is from the new True Friends Perfectly Clear Set which was also stamped in black and the word "Bloom" was outlined with the same colored pencil as the flowers, it was then popped up on The white textured paper from a 12" x 12" paper pad and gives a touch of texture to the card. This was then glued to a blue card.

Will Work For Stamps!




Today I have this bright, cheery and fun card up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  I love their adhesives especially when I have a lot of elements stuck down and popped up, with their adhesives I know nothing will fall off!

Here's how I made my card, first I stamped the images on watercolor paper with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and watercolored them using Inktense Pencils.
Once the shirt is dry, it was stamped with the sentiment using Onyx Black VersaFine Ink.
To cut them out, the matching dies were used.



Die-cut white cardstock using a slimline die and use the E-Z Dots Permanent Runner to attach the flowers and leaves except for the daisies, as shown.



The smaller 3D Foam Circles were used from the Permanent White Mix to pop up the shirt in the center of the card and also pop up the daisies, one on each side of the shirt. You always want to use enough of the 3D Foam Circles so the edges of your images don't droop, that's why I don't just use one in the center of the flower.


Attach the decorated panel to a black and white buffalo plaid card using the E-Z Dots Permanent Runner.
Apply Sunflower Liquid Pearls to the center of the daisies.
Randomly add a few black and white epoxy dots to the card.

Happy Birthday to You!



Do you need to replenish your birthday card supply?  If so, you're in luck because Rubbernecker Stamps is sharing birthday cards all month long!

To make my card, I used their new release Gift Set #4 which comes with this pretty vase of flowers and four sentiments in different fonts.

Here's how my card was made-
  • Stamp the vase of flowers on watercolor paper with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and emboss it with clear embossing powder.
  • Color the image with Clean Color Real Brush Pens, cut it out and set it aside.

  • Use a blender brush to add Rose Color Fuse ink to the center-right of a white cardstock panel and over stamp this with any sentiment using the same ink.
  • Stamp ink splatters from the Watercolor Splatter Set using Silver Color Fuse Ink.
  • Apply a strip of black and white washi tape to the left side of the card and set a side.

  • Stamp a pink card with the Graduated Horizontal Stripe Background Stamp using VersaMark Ink and emboss with Vintage Pink Embossing Powder.

  • Stamp the sentiment from the same set on pink cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.
  • Glue the white panel to the pink card and pop up the sentiment and the flowers on the card as shown.
  • Randomly glue iridescent sequins to the card.
  • For the final touch, glue a pink twine bow to the flower vase.



Have a crafty day!

Love Makes The World Go Round



Today I'm up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog with this Valentine's Day card with heart accents.

For Valentines Day I give out more cards than just to my husband, I also give one to my mom and kids.  I want everyone to know that I love them even though I tell them every time I talk to them.

To make my card, I used the Speckled Heart Stencil and Carnation Red Make Art Ink to add a heart to the center of a white cardstock panel.


I then stamped the sentiment on a strip of red cardstock with VersaMark ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  This was then layered onto a strip of black cardstock with Double-Sided Tape Runner Strips Permanent 150ft and a 3D Foam Strips was placed on the back.


The sentiment was then placed on the bottom of the panel and a heart from the 

E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser was placed on the right end of the sentiment strip.  Crystal Micro Glitter was then sprinkled on top and the excess was shaken off.  "Love" from the Big Words Happy Set by Stampendous, was then stamped over the stenciled heart with black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.



Three more hearts from the E-Z Runner® Hearts Refillable Dispenser were placed on the card by using an exact knife to remove the hearts from the dispenser and placed on the panel.  Black glitter was then sprinkled on top of them.


Attach the panel to a red top folding card using the Double-Sided Tape Runner Strips Permanent 150ft.

Creative Time: 35 minutes

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®
3D Foam Strips
