Clear Sunshine Shaker Card

Hello! Happy Saturday to you! I'm happy to report that it is currently RAINING here in San Diego! YAY! Thunder and lightning too! So, that has made this a pretty exciting day. :) Anyhoo, I used my new Fuse Tool to make a clear shaker card. That tool is pretty darn cool! I used the new Stitched Starburst Dies and the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime to make the sunshine. I used the Stitched Cloud Dies by MyCreativeTime for the clouds. I also cut extra clouds and a starburst to add to the back of the shaker card to hide the adhesive, and to write my message. I used the Rosie's Favorites 1 1/8 Faces from PeachyKeenStamps for the sun's cute face. The greeting is from the February 2014 set by PeachyKeenStamps {sorry, it's no longer available}. I filled the shaker with sequins, glitter, and stars...and then sealed it up with my Fuse Tool. :) 

I hope you're having a HAPPY Saturday.

Ahoy, lil' sailor!

Hello! I hope you're having a relaxing Sunday. For my card today I used the totally sweet Rosie's Favorites Face Assortment by PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped the face on the adorable baby sailor in the Beach Babies Digi Set by PeachyKeenStamps. The Beach Babies Digi set is awesome! There are TONS of images in that set. :) Anyhoo, I colored my baby sailor with my Copics {I'll list colors below}. The greeting is also from the Beach Babies Digi set. I cut it out with the banner from the Vintage Labels Dies by MyCreativeTime. I've also used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies and the Stitched Oval Dies by MyCreativeTime. The patterned paper is from the Ahoy There 6x6 pad by Carta Bella.

I'm totally jelly!

Hello! I hope you had a fabulous 4th of July! I used the new Rosie's Favorites Face Assortment from PeachyKeenStamps for the adorable face on the jellyfish. That super fun jellyfish is from the new Beach Babies Digi Stamp Set by PeachyKeenStamps. I colored the jellyfish with my Copics {I'll list colors below}. After I colored it, I masked it with liquid frisket so I could create the water. I used distress inks and water to make the ocean. Then I rubbed off the liquid frisket and added wink of stella to the jellyfish. Yay for a glittery jellyfish! HA! I used the Stitched Oval Dies and the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies by MyCreativeTime to create my shaker window. I used the banner from the Vintage Label Dies to cut out the greeting that is in the Beach Babies Digi set by PeachyKeenStamps. TIP ALERT- to cut out a digi greeting with a die, first cut scrap paper with the die you want to use. Then lay the "negative" over what you want to cut out and pop the die in place. Secure it with washi tape, and run it through your machine. Voila!

p.s. I use the Silhouette Studio program to work with digi stamps. It's FREE, and super easy to use. You can manipulate the images...flip, enlarge, shrink, etc...Really makes digi's a great addition to your stamping! I was scared of digi's at first, but now I'm hooked! :)

p.p.s. You don't need a Silhouette machine to have the program. I just use it for printing my digi's. Oh, here's a tip, click the button to "show print border" on the mat. Makes squeezing tons of digi's on the mat easy to print...without wasting any space. :)
