Birthday Bounce!

I needed a boy's birthday card, you have no idea how hard that is for me LOL I have issues with masculine cards and boy cards...I practice a lot on family members LOL

Most supplies used can be found at Scrapsalot and if you don't see it in the shop contact Debra and she can help you out! (stamps,ink,paper, foam dots,stamp shammy)

so for this card, we used the happy birthday paper pad from Echo park the colors were perfect they may be a little busy (since I've used most of the subtle ones already LOL) but they are cute so it makes up for it!

 I used this cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Really high five. I just love the look of these critters and you can use them in different ways, they can be floating with balloons, jumping on a trampoline for doing high fives.

 I think the hardest part was curving the text to go around the circle LOL thank heave for clear block...it's not perfect by any means but all in all I think the recipient will love it especially since he loves his trampoline!!

 thanks for stopping by...hope you have a fabulous week!

Happy Birthday

So as I said in my last post I received several things to play with from Scrapsalot and alcohol inks were one of them, I've always wanted to play with them but just couldn't get my hands on any...until now....and I have to say I love them and will be playing with them often!
 for my project this week I combined the newly done alcohol inked background with this super cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn...

the set is called really high five and it's absolutely adorable! I added the Waffle Flower Sun Shine Panel Die 

 I really loved the bright colors in the background... every time I look at this card I just smile.

Make sure you stop by scrapsalot she carries a little bit of everything from scrapbooking, cardmaking a little bit of mixed-media!

quick 3x3 Christmas cards

This year I made a few 3x3 cards to add to a small gift in place of a tag... here is just one design... I used the cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn HoHo holidays I love the cute Santa in this set!
This stamp set and all the inks used on the card can be found at Scrapsalot Shop

to make my life easier I stamped all my images and scanned them to my silhouette portrait to be cut out (scan and cut cheapo version LOL) so I have a stack of images to choose from and it helps when you need that extra card

here is a sample of what I was talking about...I normally have just a couple but I did these for special Christmas cards I'm making with a friend so I was trying to get ahead of the game LOL as I was saying I'll keep at least one set in the back of the stamp set ready to go.





Products used from Scrapsalot Shop

Atcoins

Hello crafty friends, I had no intentions of posting today LOL but  I was up late last night crafting away...get some swaps ready for next month when I finished this cute ATcoin (you know an ATC just a circle LOL) and I had to share...Of course, this post will be for Scrapsalotllc.com because all the items used were from that store 😁

First, we started off with a 2.5-inch circle...I inked it using distress oxides I wanted a beachy scene since I knew I was going to use the on the beach stamp set from lawn fawn so I used (bottom to top) Gathered twigs, mermaid lagoon, tumbled glass and finally broken china...it gave it a nostalgia feel

 I'm not sure about you but I always stamp off a couple images to color and then put the extra back in with the stamps....so these were already colored I just needed to add them to my coin...

 I stamped the word relaxing and added a couple birds free hand (lol) and tada we are finished...I swear this was the fastest project ever ...now I just need to make 3 more for the swap set!

My island

Good morning my crafty friends wanted to share a cute card I made using some different Lawn Fawn sets I got from Scrapsalotllc.com
I love that you can mix and mingle all sorts of lawn Fawn products for this card I think I used three or four different sets to make my scene...isn't it cute I created my very own island ...the background is an old texture plate...I used it as an embossing folder and my island is just a stitched circle die ...I cut out along one of the waves and inserted the circle...tada the island is there LOL

the Octopus is from the little set  octopi my heart  the palm trees are from Hammock and trees die set the shells and sand are from the on the beach set and the die cut is Lawn Fawns Hello die

Geez I probably could have put the unicorn here too but I was trying for the tropical island, not fantasy island LOL Well I hope you enjoyed my imagination and all things lawn fawn...make sure you stop by the Scrapsalot shop and check out some the awesome deals you can also use the code Buffy10 and get 10% off your order!

Bugaboo Bingo

This is the image I colored this morning for the daily marker color challenge last time Kathy held this challenge I learn also I wanted to take part again but this time to actually make a card out of the images I colored LOL..I did make cards out of a couple of the others but most sat in a pile until recently!

so ....here is the card I made with this darling little lady from Bugaboo stamps..hehe I think I own all the digi's with any kind of cats or dogs in them...they are just too cute! and took part in the new Bingo challenge over at Catch the bug challenge blog!

 I did ribbon, die/punch and sentiment....but then I also did button, Bugaboo image, and sentiment.. it just happened to work out that way!

thank you so much for stopping by!

Who's ready for the beach?

I was super excited when my design team package from Scrapsalot came this for this month...it had all sorts of cool things from Hero Arts...and for today's project, I got to use a couple of them lets start with this awesome stamp set from Hero Arts called color layering waves...It's so cool and really simple to line up and even if you don't line it up just right no one will notice its the beach the waves don't match up LOL
 Normally with a layering stamp, you need three (or however many layers your set has) different shades of the same color ..in this case, blue...hmm that was a problem for me...I don't own a whole lot of inks, I'm lucky to even have a one blue LOL

 so I dug through ALL of my inks and found some really old and really generic blues...they came with a stamp set off amazon like 3 years ago let's just say they didn't work LOL so I went back and pull these out...I wasn't sure about the cracked pistachio but I figured tropical places have greenish blue water...so now we have water...

 I masted off the water to add my blotchy (so it would look a bit cloudy) sky ...used the same salty ocean and then I used a light blending of walnut stain and marker for the beach...

I found the white rub-on in my stash while I was looking for something else and thought they would look nice.. I used one of the sentiments from the set "enjoy the beach life" and I heat embossed it with

this cool Embossing Powder looks just like sand!! It's from Hero arts and its called sand Sand (of course LOL)
well, there you have it a super long explanation of a really simple card!

Belated Birthday Gnomes

Good day my crafty friends, today I wanted to share a project I made featuring supplies from Scrapsalot shop...
I used Lawn fawns Oh Gnome stamp set, I kind of did a stamp and cut using my silhouette portrait..reminder to self color the tiny images before you cut them..anyway I did a bunch of lil gnomes and mushrooms so I would have plenty on hand at a later date... I colored them using Prismacolor pencil and a lil gamsol then set aside to assemble some mushroom houses they come together pretty quick, I went with the standard red and brown but I've seen them pink and purple so you can use your imagination.

 I decided to keep my sky simple and just used some faded jean ink oxide..the grass and fence were cut using my silhouette the flowers and grass papers are from DCWV.

 Now isn't this just the cutest thing ever...its a mushroom house shaped card, yeah yeah it's little but just so cute! I folded a piece of cream cardstock in half and used the background mushroom die to cut the base I just kept the top of the die above the fold line so when I was done I had a fold at the top...I then cut two more bases in brown one I placed on the back of the card and the other on the front and decorated accordingly...haha I kept this one for myself!

 so I kind of rambled on in this post and if you're still here I'm sorry but I really wanted to share some of the processes and as you can read I write as I speak all over the place LOL

Supplies used from Scrapsalot

~Distress oxide- faded jeans
~Lawn Fawn- Mushroom house die and Oh Gnome stamp set
~Catherine pool Ink~ Midnight

SSS 710

Happy Mother's Day!!! I'm very lucky I get to play most of the day but kind of sad that none of the kids are around! anyway...Stella Says Sketch Challenge #710 here is my take on the new sketch challenge over at Catch The Bug, I used the adorable digi stamps BUGUNIBEYOU from Bugaboo Stamps

I'm kind of a thrifty crafter most of the items I buy personally have to have a multi-function...I have a limited budget and space for all my craftiness LOL...So this card is a mix and match of all different companies...the digi is from Bugaboo stamps...the paper is DCVW...the butterfly die is lawn fawn and

 the sentiment is from an Altenew stamp set called Reason to smile, I really like this set!

 Thanks for stopping by....hope you had an awesome day!

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

Oh Gnome!

 Hello, my crafty friends... can you believe it's already May! I received some really awesome goodies to play with from Scrapsalot and I couldn't wait to get crafting! So I thought I would share this cute little card I made using Lawn fawns Oh Gnome set...it was easy to make a small scene, I used a couple of the small dies from the mushroom house set I had to piece together the grassy area it might be time to invest in a grass die cut set LOL ...this kind of reminds me of may flowers...I have tulips popping up all over my yard.

 The gnome set can be used in many different ways. I'll be showing a couple different ways throughout the month.
