This week I used an image from Laurie Furnell Ink. She generously donated the Autumn Mouse Digital Stamps for the Design Team to use.



For my card, the mouse and the leaves were from the digital stamp set. I colored them in with Copic Markers and then cut each image out.

I covered the A2 card front with pattern paper and layered a panel of paper that I used some Distress Ink to ink blend a sky and some "grass." 

I stamped a small sentiment and adhered the leaves, the mouse and a stamped sunflower to the background.

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

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578

(Some Links in this post are Affiliate Links used at no extra cost to you)

Hello friends!! 

I am just popping in to say that there is still time to play with the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578. It is a THEME challenge this round. It is to use PLAID on a project.


The challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578 is below:


For my project, instead of a buffalo plaid, I decided to use a piece of American Crafts "Blooming Wild" pattern paper for my project. It had all sorts of fun colors that I could choose to create accents with. I then die cut a rectangle using the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackable Dies and adhered it over the pattern paper. 

I added a scalloped frame die cut from light purple cardstock over the white panel. I then used a flower that was all ready stamped and die cut from my stash over the front. 

I used an embossed sentiment strip from my stash that I cut apart and adhered it to my card with foam adhesive. My last step was to adhere some purple gems to the front of my card and it was complete.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578

(Some Affiliate Links are used in this post at no extra cost to you. These are designated by an asterisk **)

Hello Friends!!

There is time for a new challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Challenge #578 is a THEME challenge. It is to create a project using PLAID!!!


The Challenge Badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #578 Is below.


Instead of a card, I created a gift card holder. I used the Gift Card Bag Holder Die from the Stamp Market for this project. I photographed the bag with the inside pulled out.


I used a Buffalo Plaid stencil in pink on the white background for the pattern. I then die cut the banner with the same Stamp Market die and stamped a sentiment with The Stamp Market Gift Card Greetings Stamps.


The bag was perfect to layer some the **Stylish Oval Hello You Floral Etched Dies by Spellbinders over the top. I cannot wait to give this to someone!!!

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577

Hey Friends!!! 

There is still time to play with us over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #577. This round is a THEME challenge-BEARS.


Below is the challenge badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for CIC577.

Once again I used a bear from our sponsor this round, PJ Moore Illustrations. Isn't it so cute?


Once again, I resized the digital stamp and printed it out onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. 


I colored it in with Copic Markers and cut it out. I shaded a white, A2 card front and shaded the back in with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then adhered the bear on top. 


I added scraps of pattern paper around the image for some fun detail. I added a sticker label and used stickers as the sentiment. I LOVE how this card came out!!!

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