Hello

Hi y'all! 

Happy Monday, hope your week is starting off right?! :) 

Today, I'm sharing another card using some of the recently released goodies from Not 2 Shabby! Again, if you haven't seen any of the new goodies, you should definitely check things out, especially for your summertime/July cards! :) 

For my card today, I went with stamping and masking. Without further ado, here is my card...

Let's make this card! I promise it's so simple to create! ;) 

• Start with white cardstock/paper that is alcohol marker friendly.
• Cut to an A2 card size.
• Using the Stars & Hydrangeas stamp set, stamp on two of the hydrangeas using black ink (one on each bottom side of the cut panel).

• Then stamp on the hydrangeas to a post it note or thin paper to make 'masks'.
• After stamping the images onto a post it note/paper, cut images out. 
• Place the masks over the stamped images on the card panel.

• Now stamp on the middle hydrangea using black ink.
• Remove the masks.

• Using the Stars & Hydrangeas stamp set, stamp on the bee using black ink.

• Color the hydrangeas and the bee using alcohol markers.

• Using the Stars & Hydrangeas stamp set, stamp on 'hello' using black ink.
• Add paint splatters over the flowers using a black paint pen while covering the top part of the card panel with a piece of cardstock/paper.

Don't you just love those blooms (hydrangeas)?!...I hope I was able to inspire you today! :) 

Well, that's all for me.

Also, don't forget the Not 2 Shabby May Monthly Mood Board Challenge is in full swing! Hope to see you join us! It's so easy to play along, just create a card! And don't have any Not 2 Shabby goodies?...That's ok, you can still play along! :) And there's even a chance at winning a $15 gift certificate to the Not 2 Shabby Shop!! How fun is that?!...hope to see you there! :) 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Hello July

Hello, hello! 

Happy Sunday! 

Today, I'm swinging in with another card using the new release from Not 2 Shabby! Seriously, this bundle and goodies are just too much fun and so pretty! If you haven't seen things yet, be sure to check out the Not 2 Shabby Shop. :) 

For my card today, I'm back with using more of the papers and ephemera. I just love it when things can come together so easily! And we all need those easy cards at times, right?!...

Below are all the steps on how to create things...maybe you'll put your own spin on things?!...

• Start with choosing patterned papers and ephemera.

• Cut the blue faux glitter paper to fit an A2 card base.
• Cut the woodgrain paper to the size of 4 1/4" L x 2 1/2" H.

• Using an A2 card base, adhere the patterned papers to the card base.
• Arrange ephemera onto the card and adhere.

• *Note: After having things put together, I thought the edge where the woodgrain was needed a little something. So I opted for a small strip of patterned paper to give it a little more detail and finish. 

• Set aside.
• Using the Stars& Hydrangeas stamp set, stamp sentiment onto white cardstock.
• Use the Ultimate Sentiments Universal die with the stamp sentiment.

• Add burlap twine to the sentiment piece.
• Adhere to the card using foam tape.

• Add sparkling enamel dots.

Doesn't this card make you think of the beach?!...I hope I inspired you today! :) 

Also, the May Not 2 Shabby Monthly Mood Board Challenge is in full swing and we'd love for you to join us! It's so simple to join, just create a card!

New Not 2 Shabby release goodies!

Hello, hello! 

Happy FriYAY! :)

Today, is the brand new release from Not 2 Shabby!! This bundle is full of goodies, especially for the 4th of July and summertime! You can find everything in the Not 2 Shabby Shop, available now. :)

Without further ado, here is my card...

If you know me, you know I love clean and simple cards and that's exactly what I did. Clean and simple, nothing more. Well, I did do some fussy cutting, too. ;) 

While this is a simple card for me, I know it is not that easy for everyone. So follow below for step by step on how to create things! I promise it'll be easy peasy! 

• Start with white cardstock/paper that is alcohol marker friendly.
• Using the Stars & Hydrangeas stamp set, stamp on the flower images using black ink.

• Color image using alcohol markers. 
• Fussy cut the image.
• Set aside.

• Take an A2 size white cardstock/paper that is alcohol marker friendly and stamp on the butterfly using black ink.

• Color images using alcohol markers and the same colors as before (minus the purple).

• Adhere the colored card panel to an A2 card base.
• Adhere the first image (flowers) onto the card using a low profile foam tape.
• Add sparkling enamel dots.

Simple, right?!...I hope I was able to inspire you today! 

Also, don't forget the May Not 2 Shabby Monthly Mood Board Challenge is in full swing and we'd love for you to join us!! It's so easy to join, just create a card! And don't have any Not 2 Shabby goodies?!...That's ok! You can still play along! :) There's also a chance at winning a $15 gift certificate to the Not 2 Shabby Shop!! Hope to see you there!
