Happiest of Holidays
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week. I'm in D.C. for work, and I'm really looking forward to seeing some local crafty friends at the end of the week. :)
I'm guesting with the My Favorite Things Challenge and Inspiration team again. Yeah! It's a sketch challenge this week, and you can see the sketch HERE.
Here's my take on the sketch:
Isn't the elf adorable?? I love him and had to use him. I colored the little guy from the My Favorite Things Santa's Elves set with Copics. For the bell, I added a little Wink of Stella over the coloring (yes, I know; it's hard to see).
The elf was tucked behind the two die-cut panels. On the bottom layer, I stamped the awesome Sweater Stitched Background stamp and then die-cut the panel with Cross-Stitch Square STAX. On top, I die-cut patterned paper using the Zig Zag Stitch Square STAX.
Below the elf, I wanted to make it look like the elf was dropping the jingle bell into the stocking. I stamped the stockings using the same Santa's Elves set, and then colored and paper pieced them.
Be sure to stop by the MFT Challenge and Inspiration blog. I hope you have a chance to play along!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Celebrating Cath + Technique Tuesday Blog Hop
Hi everyone! Happy Monday! I'm in a very special blog hop today:
I am super-duper thrilled to be sharing projects using the new Technique Tuesday stamps and dies by Cath Edvalson! :) You can check out the new stamps and dies HERE. Aren't they fabulous?
To celebrate the release, there's a special hop today. You should be coming from Kimberly's blog, or if you want to start from the beginning, the Technique Tuesday blog.
Here's what I made:
I made a set of cards with the inlaid die-cutting technique. First, I die-cut the Garden Flowers dies in white and trimmed down the base flower to make a backing. Next, I used old Mint Julep BasicGrey papers to die-cut the outline flower. My Big Shot got a work-out! I know Cath likes homespun designs, and these papers reminded me of her. :)
I in-laid the pieces and made a couple of flowers at once. It's not a 10-minute card, but this technique is great for card sets (and using up 6x6 paper pads).
Next, I stamped a leaf from the Garden of Life stamp set and stamped a few yellow flowers in the background. The sweet sentiment is also from the set. This die is *perfect* for this technique!
Here's my next card:
This card uses the same stamps and dies for a very different look. I started by stamping the leaves from the Garden of Life set. I partially colored the leaves with Copics and fussy cut them. I love the boldness of these stamps! Next, I die-cut the Garden of Life flower base die on vellum and heat embossed the flower.
I layered a Citrus Bliss paper and a chipboard frame. For the sentiment, I die-cut the "friend" sentiment from the Garden of Life set in charcoal grey. Here's a close-up:
Giveaway
Technique Tuesday is giving away three prizes! One winner will receive all five of Cath's new products (wow!). The other two winners will receive $25 gift certificates to Technique Tuesday. The winners will be randomly chosen from all of the comments left during the hop.
To enter, leave a comment here and at each of the blog hop stops. The more comments you leave, the more chances to win! You have until midnight PST on September 16th to leave comments, and the three winners will be announced on the Technique Tuesday blog on September 18th.
Here's the whole list:

July Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week! We went to the Badlands today and had perfect weather. If you ever have a chance to go, it's a great national park. :)
I'm very happy to be participating in the July Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge! The Pin-Sights challenge is a monthly challenge at Ellen Hutson based on a Pinterest-inspired photo. Laurel really hit it out of the park with this month's inspiration pin! You can see it over in The Classroom [Go check it out, but please come back! :)]
Here's how I was inspired:
My focus was the Twelve Days stamps set, but I used a total of five Essentials by Ellen stamp sets. :) All of the background squares are stamped or masked:
The top left was blended over the All Lined Up stencil. For the top right, I stamped the stars from the Cozy Christmas set, and the bottom right was stamped using the Bokeh Dots. I clear embossed the flowers from the Bold Blooms set and then blended the ink over the embossing. To get whiter blooms, I ironed off the embossing powder. It was the first time doing this technique, and it worked like a charm! My iron will finally get used for something. ;)
I hand-cut the squares and wonky-stitched around them. To emphasize the drums, I added a piece of vellum:
The cool drums are from the 12 Days set. I masked the number, Copic-colored the drums, and die-cut a star from the Home and Hearth dies for the the bass drum. The sentiment is from the 12 Days Companion Greetings. Here's one more close-up:
Want to play along? You can link up your projects over at The Classroom. Want to see what one random participant will win?
Yep, super awesome! I hope you have a chance to play along!

Going Cute
Hi all! I hope you're having a great week. My son graduated from preschool last night (complete with caps and gowns, lol), and my daughter is done with school on Friday. All of the end-of-the-school craziness is happening!
I wanted to share a couple of Paper Smooches projects using the new dies.
This card is pretty straightforward. I stamped, Copic colored, and die cut the sea creatures using the Surf and Turf stamps and Surf and Turf Icons dies. The papers are from a Studio Calico kit.
The critters needed to be grounded, so I stitched a loose circle under them. I also added some Glossy Accents to the bubbles around the sentiment:

I wanted to share a couple of Paper Smooches projects using the new dies.
I used the new Paper Smooches Tooth Fairy die to make a tiny card. There are flap dies for a pocket on the Tooth Fairy die, and I used the flap to make arms. The crown is one of the dies, too. To make the face, I stamped the smile using the Cool Dudes snowman stamps--this set is great for making faces (not just for snowmen). On the flag, I used a sentiment from Sugar Rush. Get it? A "sweet tooth." Tee hee....I crack myself up. ;) I'm such a dork.

100th Lawnscaping Challenge Celebration!
Hi everyone! I have a special post today...
It's the 100th challenge at the Lawnscaping Challenge blog! Everyone is so excited about this milestone, and each of the Design Team members have invited a special guest to play along. The theme is Birthday/Celebration!
I was invited to this party by my sweet friend, Samantha Mann. Samantha's designs are always super clever and fun (and often laugh-out-loud funny). I just love her work. :)
Be sure to head over to the Lawnscaping blog where you can see ALL of the Design Team projects as well as ALL of the special projects, too!

Here's my project for the celebration:
For this card, I went CAS with a whole lot of coloring. All of the stamps and dies are from Lawn Fawn. I stamped monsters from Monster Mash and Yeti, Set, Go and colored them with Copics. Since it's a celebration, I added hats and balloons from Hats Off to You and Year Four. For the sentiment, I used my favorite Milo's ABCs.
I had to go with the 'ole Roy G. Biv for the layout. A few of the critters are popped up with foam tape. Here's a close-up to see the dimension:
I hope you'll join in the Lawnscaping celebration! You can link up your projects HERE.

A Vitamix Would Have Been Easier
Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
Just a quick post to share some valentines I made for my daughter's class.
So back in December (for the January Paper Smooches release), I stamped, Copic colored, and die-cut about 35 fruits and vegetables using the Paper Smooches Fruitastic and Vegtastic stamps and Fruitastic Icons and Vegtastic Icons dies. Thankfully, I find coloring pretty relaxing. :)
I used a mix of Paper Smooches sentiments, from the Fruitastic, Vegtastic, and Woofers and Tweeters sets. For the background papers, I used the Scalloped Circle die.
Here's a close-up of my favorite--the carrot. Hee hee.
My daughter used them for her valentines, but these cards would work year-round--I kept a few for me to use. ;)
Tomorrow, I'll share the valentines I made for my son's class.
Have a great day!
Supplies
Stamps: (carrot, peas, sentiments from Vegtastic; strawberries, peach, orange, sentiments from Fruitastic; "I dig you" sentiment from Woofers and Tweeters) Paper Smooches

Here's my card using The Welcome Wagon:
The Welcome Wagon is the November TAM set, so it's *free* if you spend $60 at Paper Smooches. Score! I couldn't believe how many different phrases I could make, and I like that they are different than other stamp sets I own.
I stamped three of the sentiments from The Welcome Wagon and added the new Welcome Word die-cut. Aren't those snowmen the cutest ever? They're from the new Cool Dudes set and matching die. I used digital patterned papers from Paislee Press for the layers. Yup, had to make it a hybrid card. ;)

Happy Holidays!
Hi everyone!
It's day two of Release Week at Neat & Tangled! Today, we're sharing projects using the Little Santa Girl stamp set. She's so cute! Danielle is sharing pictures of the stamps on the Neat & Tangled blog, so be sure to check it out.
I used the mini set for a tag:
Do you ever have those projects where you start creating but have no plan in mind? Yep, this tag was one of those projects. I started by coloring the Little Santa Girl with Copics, but I felt like she needed an oomph. So, I paper-pieced her hat and tights and used colored pencils to add shading to the patterned paper.
At first, she was going to be standing, and then I was going to have two girls coming from the edges. After playing around, I decided to have one girl peeking into the scene. I had to cut off her legs, which was kind of weird. But, it looked weirder to have the legs hanging off. ;)
I added some Webster's Pages All That Glitters vellum and stitching. Here's a close-up:

Go and Do Amazing Things
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week!
It's day 4 of Neat & Tangled's release week! Today we're sharing projects using the Origami Map stamp set, which was designed by Miriam Prantner. Danielle is sharing pictures of the set on the Neat & Tangled blog.
This set is fun and very versatile! Here's what I made:
This card took time, but it was pretty easy to make. I stamped the Origami Map, got out a bunch of Copics, and started coloring. I skipped the shading--otherwise, I'd probably still be coloring. ;) Once I was done, I fussy cut the map and trimmed off the edge.
The sentiment and airplane are also from the Origami Map set. I stamped them on the MME Just Sayin' paper:

Neat & Tangled Release Day 1
Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend!
It's release week at Neat & Tangled! To kick things off, we're sharing projects using the Creepy Cute, Creepy Cute Shadows and Sentiments, Creepy Cute Dies, and Spooktacular Sequins. Danielle is sharing pictures of the products on the Neat & Tangled blog.
Here's how I used the sets:
Aren't those little guys adorable? I masked and added the bow on the ghost. I realized after I took the picture that I used my "draft" ghost instead of the final one. Oops! I really need reading glasses.
After I had all of the elements on the AC Haunted Hollow paper, I felt like it needed something more. I flipped through my pins and saw THIS gorgeous card by Rahel Menig. I *loved* the glitter edges and had to try it. I also added a few drops of a metallic mist. Here's the card in the light:

Here's my card using A Blessed Christmas:
Isn't that image so sweet? I love that it's a cute religious, Christmas image. This set has so many fabulous images!
Isn't that image so sweet? I love that it's a cute religious, Christmas image. This set has so many fabulous images!
For my card, I simply stamped and colored it with Copics. To add a soft layer, I die-cut a the window out of vellum and stamped the sentiment from A Blessed Christmas directly on the vellum (got to love the Brilliance inks). Finally, I used the matching Blessed Icons dies to die-cut the dove. When I think of Christmas, I don't typically think of rust and black colors. ;) But, as soon as I saw these BasicGrey papers with the image, I had to go with the non-traditional colors.

Neat & Tangled Release: Gifts for You
Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent most of the weekend on the beach. :)
It's release week at Neat & Tangled! To kick things off, we're sharing projects using the Gifts for You stamp set. This set, designed by (the super-talented) Pamela Ho, is super cute and very versatile:
Here's how I used the set:
Isn't she adorable? I was thinking this set would work perfectly as a tag on a party favor. I stamped the tag, hearts, and sentiment for each tag on patterned paper. For the girl, I stamped, colored her with Copics, and fussy cut her.
I die-cut a party favor box and attached the tag:
These tags were so easy to mass-produce for a party thank you. I think I'll be using these for my daughter's next birthday. :)
There's a giveaway! Comment on the Neat & Tangled blog to win the Gifts for You and new Pink Lemonade sequins.
Thanks for stopping by!

Best Friends
Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week. We've been having crazy weather and flooding this week--I have my fingers crossed that we won't have any more rain this month!
I'm guesting with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge again. :)
This week's challenge is "You've gotta have friends." The team is using stamps by Art Impressions, although you don't have to use AI stamps to play along.
Here's my card:
I used the Art Impressions Cat and Dog Mini stamp set for my card. The set has heads and arms for a cat and a dog and stamps for their backsides. They're made for a window card, but instead, I made a ledge out of pp.
I colored and fussy cut the cat and dog and used some hearts and sentiments from the Pen Pals Die-Cuts (and yes, that pink heart is wonky). I layered some Pen Pal papers underneath.
Here's a close-up:
Want to see the inspiration for my scene?
This picture was taken 10 years ago, and while Marma (the cat) didn't like other animals, after five years together, she could peacefully co-exist with the dog. ;)
If you would like to join in on the challenge, you can link up your projects HERE. In addition to our fabulous $50 Simon Says Stamp Gift Voucher, Art Impressions Stamps is offering a wonderful prize opportunity for those who participate in the challenge! To enter, simply link up your creation (like you usually do) and then use the Rafflecopter Widget on the challenge blog to enter to win!
