I used a the Mixed Stripes Stencil by Scrapbook.com with Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Distress Ink as the base for my 5 by 7" card. 

I added an A2 white panel over the top that I had ink blended the lipstick Distress Ink and used a Stamperia Stencil over the top. 

I added a Reverse Confetti circle and a Pinkfresh Studio butterfly from the Small Butterflies stamp set. The sentiment strip was from my stash and the Gold Pearls are from the Kat Scrappiness Shop. 

That is all from me today. I hope that you play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge for this round. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #543 Reminder

I embossed the daisy from Altenew's Paint a Flower: Gerber Revolution in white and used Ken Oliver's Colorburst powders in Lime, Indigo and Violet to "paint" my flower. 

I splattered Picket Fence and Black Soot Distress Stain across the top and added a sentiment from My Favorite things.

This card was SO FUN to make and plan to make more with some of Altenew's other Paint-A-Flowers.

I hope that you hop on over to play with us this week at Cupcake Inpsirations!!! If you do, you will be entered into a random drawing to win a $25 credit to the Crafty Meraki Shop.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #543

Hello everyone!! I cannot believe it is May!! 

I am just popping in today with a new card I created for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #543.

This weeks challenge is to create a Mother's Day card or a feminine card. I created a feminine theme card as I don't really make Mother's Day cards since my mother passed away years ago.

We have a sponsor for this challenge! It is Crafty Meraki!!! She has a FABULOUS shop and I hope you hop on over to her store!!

I used a lattice die for my background and added some stamps from the WPlus9 Shop that were colored in with Copic markers.

I am sending this out to a specific friend that I have not seen in ages and that I miss a lot.

Please hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #543 to play with us this week. I always love seeing the creativity of everyone!!!

Just a Reminder to Join Us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge for Challenge #542

Hello everyone!! 

I am popping in with a quick post to remind you to come on over and play with us for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #542. 

It is week #2 for this challenge and it is to use the colors Lime, Yellow and Orchid on a card.

Once again I used an image from the Varada Sharma Shop that she generously gifted us. 

Instead of coloring my flowers in orchid purple like I did last week, I decided to use yellow. I also used the sentiment that was gifted to us by Varada as well. 

I added some Kat Scrappiness Purple Glass Bubbles around the sentiment to draw more attention to it.  They were the exact color of purple I needed!!

Please hop on over to play with us at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #542. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Shaker and Stencil Release from Kat Scrappiness

 ***This post contains affiliate links that are used at no extra cost to you

Hello Friends!! 

I am so excited today for a NEW April 2022 Release from the Kat Scrappiness Shop! They released new Shaker Dimension Sets and STENCILS!!!

I created two new projects for this release, a shaker card and a congratulations card with the new stencils.

For my first card, I used the new Butterfly Shaker Dimension set and the new Floating Dots stencil for this card. 

I started off by creating my pattern paper background using the new Kat Scrappiness Floating Dots Stencil, the new Kat Scrappiness Stencil Brush and a stamp from the Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings Stamp set. I die cut it using the largest die from the Kat Scrappiness Embossed Edge Rectangles Dies and adhered it to a white A2, card front.

I used the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Stamp Edged Rectangles to die cut a white postage stamp element and adhered it over my pattern paper.

Then it was time for the shaker!!! I used various colors of Distress Oxide Ink and Clear Embossing powder over the front of my butterfly. I filled my shaker with Kat Scrappiness Trix Mix II and White Diamond Sequins. 

I used the Kat Scrappiness Boxed Sentiment Strips to die cut a sentiment from the Friendship Greetings stamp set and adhered it over the butterfly with foam adhesive. To finish off my card, I glued sequins from the Trix Mix II randomly around the shaker. I LOVE how this card came out and cannot wait to send it to someone!!

My second card is one that is special to me because it is for my daughter. When I saw the new Falling Star Stencil, I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for-a graduation card!

I started off this card by using some blending red dye ink across a white, slimline card base. I then used the same red ink and the Kat Scrappiness Falling Stars Stencil to stencil stars over the entire card front.

Next I spritzed water and some mica spray over the entire card front. I then added the glitter letters that were die cut from gold and platinum glitter paper using the Kat Scrappiness Upper Case Condensed Alphabet.

I made sure to NOT adhere these letters in a straight line so that I didn't have to fight for it to be perfect!!!

My last step was to randomly adhere some pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gray Opal Pearl Mix randomly across my card front. I cannot WAIT to give this to my daughter for her graduation!!!

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!
