Old time Jukebox

I was super excited when I received this set of stamps It's from Sugar Peas and its called Jukebox Jive...hehe how awesome is that!
all stamps and inks can be found at the scrapsalot shop Debra has a little bit of everything...

 I'll apologize right now I took a tin of photos...I was trying to get the sparkle of the gel pens that I used to make it look like metal, they were metallic and sparkly LOL

I thought this Jukebox would look awesome on a surprise pop-up card

 the top sentiment is from a Honey bee's set called for the record they blend perfectly with the sugar peas stamp set

I can see using this set a whole lot...there are so so many options and its great for masculine cards too

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest project, make sure you swing by scrapsalot and see what she has to offer. Have a wonderful week and stay safe and Healthy!

Beautiful Butterflies

I am so loving these foil mates...that make such stunning cards and are super simple to use... all items use on this card can be found at Scrapsalot Make sure you stop by there and check things out...

 I used the ones from Gina K designs the background is called butterflies and the sentiment is Happy day greetings I used deco foil pink melon and the papers I used are from the Honey bee paper pad called over the rainbow.

 So I am new to the whole foiling world LOL I used a simple hot laminator from walmart...wicked cheap and it seems to work well.

 so once I got started I just kept going...I did butterflies is a royal blue Oh Gosh I loved it....but I think the pink melon by far os my favorite!

thanks for coming by and checking out my card...I hope you head over to Scrapsalot and check them out also! Have a great week!

Chinup

Good afternoon my crafty friends, this card seems very fitting for the last couple weeks...I've made several and sent them out to some friends that on the stay at home order alone :( away from their families. I'm very lucky at least I have my husband and my fur babies LOL.....anyway...

LOVE this stamp set from ink roads (from Scrapsalot shop) seemed fitting and it reminds me of my Grams she always used this phrase!

 for my top panel, I chose a pretty die then heat embossed my sentiment, I then masked off the edge of the die-cut part. then using some ink oxides tumbled glass, faded jeans and just a bit of blueprint sketch blended to my liking.

I stamped my beautiful flowers and colored them using a bit of fossilized amber oxide ink.

Hahaha, Of course, I'm talking about coffee and crafting!! I love this Mug life background stamp...I've used it several times and each has a different effect on my card...this time I heat embossed using vera mark and a copper embossing powder from Ranger...

 I had already picked the sentiment I wanted to use from Honeybee stamp's shake it off stamp set, it has many different ones to choose from! I used my silhouette to cut out this super cute coffee cup and tada....all done!

Hello Friend

Good day my crafty friends, today I wanted to share a card I designed for Scrapsalotllc.com I used this awesome Waffle flower stamp set called peony dreams ...now I did post a photo of the whole set, and it's beautiful but I decided to only use a partial leaf and the butterfly/moth for my card...I kind of wanted it to feel open and airy!

I used vera mark and white heat embossed my images, colored them with Prismacolor pencils then masked them off so I could do a bit of ink blending in the background. for that, I used painters tape to mask off my images and ink oxides for my blending inks...a blending brush works well for this....I can keep it nice and light but well blended. I matted my panel with black than white to make it really pop added that to a standard 5.5 and 4.25 card panel, I used a piece of the honey bee stamps over the rainbow pattern paper pack...it matched my greens nicely...I added a simple sentiment which is also from the same stamp set...I used Catherine Pooler ink...popped it up on some dimensional foam and we're done!

 Scrapsalot shop has a little bit of everything for your crafting pleasure!

Bugaboo Bingo

I haven't had a whole lot of time to play along with the challenge over at Catch the bug challenge blog but I finally found some time! 😁


Its time for Bugaboo Bingo!!

  I went with Gem, washi tape and bugaboo image....but I could also do Sentimen, sparkle and bugaboo image LOL I swear this Unicorn is one of my favorite Bugaboo images I own!

I decided to create my own background using a stencil (Honey bee stamps Radiant stencil) and some distress oxides (Tattered rose, dusty concord and mermaid lagoon) after I used one color I shifted the stencil slightly and used a different color...those supplies can be found at Scrapsalotllc.com ...I love how this turned out!

Also entering this in the Simon Says stamps Wednesday challenge -Anything goes!

I kind of made my sentiment the focal point on my card because it kind of says it all LOL I love this stamp sentiment from Honey Bee-shake it off stamp set it has all sorts of coffee-related sentiments

 I used the awesome Tim Holtz stencil splatters for my coffee rings and some distress inks... I used waffle flower enamel dots and changed the color with alcohol markers ...So we have a kraft card base, a vintage book page (awesome find from our local restore habitat for humanity!!) put my white card front layer on then I die cut a piece of DCWV corrugated paper using a spellbinders card creator die for my final layer...

 yeah yeah, maybe one of these days I'll get the hang of describing houtI put my cards together...I'm guessing today isn't that day! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and make sure you check out the Scrapsalot shop!

Good afternoon my crafty friends.... It's time to share my some coffee LOL

Both the sentiment and background stamps can be found at Scrapsalotllc.com use the code Buffy10 to get 10% off your order!!

 Now on to my project... I used this awesome background stamp from The Ink roads  it has all different coffee's and coffee saying on it...like "death before decaf" my personal favorite LOL  I stamped on plain white cardstock with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder!
I wanted to make sure it was covered well so It would resist the distress ink I was going to add...

 I used distress inks (antique linen and vintage photo )to blend my background. I love using distress inks, there is no right or wrong it's all about what you like and I just happened to like this look so I stopped LOL I created the travel coffee on my Sihouette portrait... It's amazing what you can create with some simple shapes and the welding tool! the coffee cozy was just lined up and cut by hand then used a small heart die to cut the shape ...

Now for the awesome sentiment, I used Archival inks (Jet black and potting soil) and a fabulous stamp set from Honey bee stamps called shake it off...lots and lots of coffee related sentiments with some mix and match...yes yes there is tea related too LOL

I have a cute little card to share with you today for Scrapsalotllc.com look at these little bee's are they just the cutest thing!! They also sent some purple flocking and I was truly excited to give that a try hence the purple and pink bee. It was too cute so I just had to use it!

Free Bookmarks

It's about that time already, the parents are scrambling around getting school supplies ready...I really don't miss that! Anyway last I started making bookmarks and dropping them off at the little free library boxes we have around town...I usually put them in a children's book or a young adults book...they make for a nice surprise. Here are two I just finished, I just need to laminate them and they will be done I'll be making at least 10 more in the next couple of weeks... the little libraries have more activity the closer it gets to school starting...haha probably trying to get all their summer reading done!

Distress ink water coloring

Happy Monday my crafty friends...thought I'd share a super quick water colorish type card....It was really easy...I started off with a piece of watercolor paper (the really cheap kind from Walmart) I used my new stamp from Honeybee stamps that I got from Scrapsalotllc.com actually everything except the paper and embossing powder is from there! anyway, I stamped using vera mark ink and used Ranger's black embossing powder and quickly embossed it with my heat gun. I think it took me longer to figure out which colors distress inks I wanted to use.... I went with Salty ocean, seedless grapes, and peacock feathers

I smooshed the inks on my mat then add a generous amount of plain water around my sentiment then took a wet brush and picked up some of the ink off my mat, I did one color at a time adding more water when needed. I used my heat tool to dry between layers..I just kept playing with it until I liked how it looked. It did warp a bit but I put in under something heavy overnight and in the morning it was fine. I added some black ink droplets/splatters then trimmed it and adding it to a basic 5 1/2x 4 1/4 note card added some enamel dot and sequins and the card is done!
so what do you think?

Day 8 #thedailymarker30day

Well we're on day 8 already! Today I decided on a LLama from Honey Bee stamps haha I've done him a couple times but I've never done the cactus before...I did a little masking and made a front panel out of it...I'll crop it and add it to a card base later...It's great for one of those quickie cards we always seem to need!
I made a Booboo when I was stamping...I used archival instead of Memento it really didn't dawn on me until I was coloring :( but it all worked out in the end!

  thanks for stopping by...I hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!

Something magical

My first try at no line coloring using Ink on 3 Fadeout ink that I received in my design team package from Scrapsalotllc.com they always send the coolest stuff! ... I am also using a stamp set from ink on 3 called  Magical unicorn..such a beautiful stamp and I just love unicorns... so first impression was I couldn't see it LOL well duh but I have pretty bad eyesight so I really couldn't see it so I stamped it more than once to get a good clear image...

 So I did two different ones one in colored pencil and one in alcohol marker...I will admit it's going to take a whole lot of practice LOL heck I'm just getting used to coloring normal and now this LOL I will admit I like the colored pencils better at this point...I paired my Beautiful Unicorn with some pretty Rainbow papers from Honey bee stamps (also in the package)

 I used the colored pencil version in my art journal...LOve how that turned out!

Mushroom in my heart

This was a super quick card to put together since I stamped a but if the images all in one shot and used my scan and cut on my silhouette portrait (I have to remember to color before I cut LOL some of the images are really tiny on their own)Most of the products used on this card came from Scrapsalot its an awesome little craft shop based in Fl. she does crops and expos but also takes online orders... It's an awesome little shop! I created the background using a stencil and some ink oxides (which I love) the mushrooms were colored with colored pencils and I used some Gamsol to blend...I probably could have added some clear Nuvo drops but I really liked how it looks so I left them off LOL
