There's no place like home for the holidays

Hey y'all!

I'm up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing this card...


 Something about the smells in the air of cinnamon, nutmeg and even pumpkin. Don't you just love the holidays, especially when you're at home? Lawn Fawn's new Winter Birds Add On stamp and die set combined with their Winter Wonderland Window die makes for a sweet holiday card! 

Let's make this card! 

1. Start with stamping all the images on marker friendly paper and do all the die cutting using white cardstock and Spiffy Speckles pattern paper (for the background behind the window die cut).

2. Color in images using Copic markers. E31E23E27E47B0000B000R27R89B18B29B39C5Y11Y15.



3. Take your white card base and adhere the die cut window with the spiffy speckles behind it, along with foam squares on the back of it.

4. Adhere colored die cut images (using foam squares on the back of some of the images) and adhere additional die cut snowflakes.

5. Stamp on sentiments to white cardstock, cut into strips/banners and add foam squares on the back. Add to card.

That's it! You made this card!

Thank you

Hi y'all!


Today, I'm sharing a card I designed for Scrapbook Pal.

Are you a fan of monochromatic color schemes or sepia color schemes? I love them, even though I don’t always use them. However, they seem to give such an impact and that’s what I did for this card.



I used Spellbinders Stylish Oval Birthday Wishes stamp set. I simply stamped on the image using marker friendly ink, as well as cardstock. Then I used Copic Sketch Markers E34, E57, and E18 to color things in.



Lastly, I outlined the image using Copic Sketch Marker BG10 and then added Spellbinders Two Tone Teal enamel dots. Oh, and don’t forget to add the sentiment! (heehee) Simple, right?



Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day and see you soon!

Pinata Happy Birthday

Hi y'all! 
Hope all is well?! :)

I'm swinging in to share a card I made for Amy's Woodblock Wednesday feature. 



Without fur ado, here is my card...


Simple and fun, right?!...I went with my usual CAS style and made the pinata the focus. I used some festive colors and of course, drew on a 'string/rope' for it to hang from. I also added a few little details with a black pen around the one ear, tail, and one foot. (I was trying to make it look like it had some movement. ;)) Lastly, I stamped on the 'happy birthday'. Easy peasy, right?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great weekend! :)

Ahoy, Matey!

Hi y'all! I'm up on the Scrapbook Pal blog sharing this card! :) 

Something about being in or by the water just takes your worries away and lets the good times begin, don't you agree? This card is all about that, fun, sun, and sea! I'm using Catherine Pooler's Ahoy, Matey stamp and die set for my card. 

With that being said, let's make this card! 

1. Start with using a marker friendly white paper. Stamp on images using Catherine Pooler's Ahoy, Matey stamp set in black ink and then color them in with Copic markers. I used colors, E59R59R29N8B95B99BV02C1C2C3C5E47E23E34E27B28B39Y15Y08Y21Y17W1W30.


2. After coloring, use the images with Catherine Pooler's Ahoy, Matey dies. Use the 'wave' die with blue cardstock.

3. Take the card base and stamp on sentiment using Catherine Pooler's Ahoy, Matey stamp set in black ink.


4. Add the colored die cut images to the card. Add some foam tape on the back of some of the images to make them 'pop'. 

5. Add a touch of gems to card.

That's it! You made this card!

Sending a note

Hi y'all! 
Hope all is well?! :)

I'm sharing a card I designed for Scrapbook Pal

Don’t you just love market stands and all the fresh vegetables? For my card today I had some fun with Hero Arts Keep it Fresh stamp and die set. Going back to the market stands, that’s what I did for my card! Without further ado, here is my card...


Let's make this card!

1. Stamp images on a marker friendly cardstock.

2. Color in mages using Copic Sketch Markers.


3. Use matching dies with the colored images.

4. Add a piece of patterned paper to the cardbase, then layer on the die cut images.


5. Hot foiling time! Use Spellbinders Hexi Gems Sentiments with silver hot foil. Then use matching dies with the foiled sentiment.

6. Add hot foiled sentiment to the card.

That's it! You made this card! Fun, right?! :)
