For this one I did some masking and then white heat embossed the images. Then went over that with distress inks in black soot and barn door.

I stamped the sentiment from the I believe in Leprechauns set onto the Scallop & Stitched Circle dies.

For this one, I created a background with the cards stamp. Then I white heat embossed the border strip. Super duper simple. In case you missed it...here's another card I made with the new Game Night set....

I also used the Stitched Oval Die on this one...

The patterned papers on this first card are from the Madeline collection from Prima... Here's another calendar b-day card...

For this one I also used the Fun Borders set to stamp the pink border on the bottom. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Sweet Threads collection.

For this one I used the Polka Dot Surprise set for the sentiment. And for this last card, I wanted to used the "negative" of the die...

I decided to use up some ribbon scraps, and I just LOVE how this card turned out! I mean I seriously LOVE it!

I stamped the sentiment from the Wow So Many Candles set on the Curly Label Die. I popped up the sentiment so it's flush with the negative kraft piece. OK...pop on over to Emma's BLOG to see all the greatness over there!

Love Bears All

Hiya! Today is my guest design day for the Scrapbuggy Blog. Let me tell you that I am IN LOVE with this ADORABLE Button Bear die!!! Is he/she not the cutest?!!! AND it's under 20 bucks {$16.99}...AND I can think of TONS of things to make with it! :) Enabled yet? Anyhoo, I ran the paper behind the bear through my vagabond in a sizzix heart embossing folder. Then it inked it with spun sugar distress ink. I then spritzed it with perfect pearls and water in a mini mister.

The sentiment is from the Woodland Critters set from PinkByDesign. Okie dokie, that's it for me today. :)

PeachyKeen Blog Hop!!!!

Hello! If you arrived here from Heidi then you're hopping in the right direction. Click HERE to go back to the beginning, you don't want to miss anything! Today I am showcasing PK-646 Fall Fun Faceless Set. Such a totally versatile set that I got a tad carried away and made a card with every image. ;) Lets get started! First up...

Crazy simple card. Took about 5 minutes by just using patterned paper. The sentiment is from the Pumpkin House Accessories set. No lets move onto some more involved cards.

For this one I used the Bit of Burlap background stamp from MarketStreetStamps.com. The faces on the candy corn are from the Cutie Pie Faces set. The sentiment is from the Frankly set.

For this one I used distress inks to make my background. Stamped the flowers and gave them Wide Eyed Kids faces. The clouds are from MarketStreetStamps.com. I stitched some stems and leaves with twine. Here you can see the dimension...

Clouds are from Sure Miss you and Ain't No Sunshine from MarketStreetStamps.com.

This entire card was made with white cardstock. I used distress inks in Victorian velvet, milled lavender, dusty concord, and aged mahogany. I white heat embossed the swirls and the leaves and then inked until I got the colors I wanted.

I misted with perfect pearls in a mini mister to add shine. Can you see it? :)

For this last one, I used black embossing powder and colored my background with distress inks in mustard seed and scattered straw. I also used those to color the flowers that I popped up. I swear the color is more varied in real life.

I sprayed the background again with copper perfect pearls and water in a mini mister. Their faces are from the Wide Eyed Kids asst. The sentiment is from the set called Happy Birthday Kids. Ok, that's it for me!

Do you love the set I used??? Just comment on this post for your chance to win it!!!
