whoa baby

Hello! I made this shaker using Jennifer McGuire's tip on how to get die cut letters lined up straight. Stretch Your Dies class at OnlineCardClasses sure has been fun! I used the Uppercase Fun Dies from MyCreativeTime. I stamped "whoa" with the Claire's ABC's set from Lawn Fawn onto the banner die from the Vintage Labels set from MyCreativeTime. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More dies to cut the panel. 

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend!

Pet Sympathy

Today's class at OnlineCardClasses was about using border dies. Instead of masking with border dies, I just cut strips so I could make stripes. I cut the paw with my Cricut Explore and the Life's A Party cartridge. Then my favorite part as usual...gluing my sequins. :)

sending a little happy

This is the card I made with the "negative" spaces left from the mask made for the other card I just posted...scroll down. ;) I sprayed the negative space with squeezed lemonade and mustard seed distress reinkers in mini misters. Then I stamped the roses from The Sweet Life set from PaperTreyInk. The happy is from the Happy Trio Dies from MyFavoriteThings. And the "sending a little" is from the Sending Sunshine set by Wplus9. I'm basically obsessed with this greeting. LOL The vellum circle with cut with the Bunch Of Fun Circles dies from MyCreativeTime and my panel was cut with the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More set from MyCreativeTime. 

I super love how both of these cards turned out!

Every little thing is gonna be alright

Hello! I was inspired by today's Stretch Your Dies class at OnlineCardClasses. I used The Sweet Life stamp set and dies from PaperTreyInk. I cut masks with the dies, and used soft granite and charcoal Hero Arts shadow inks to stamp the roses. I inked the background with mint julep and soft pool Hero Arts shadow inks. I heat embossed the Every Little Thing greeting from MyCreativeTime on vellum.

I made another card with the "negative" leftover from the mask I cut...I'm gonna share it in another post so I can share them both in the class gallery. :)

Sending a little happy your way.

Hello! Today is the first day of the Stretch Your Dies class at OnlineCardClasses. Here is my take on the technique the fabulous Jennifer McGuire showed. I used the Happy Trio Dienamics dies from MyFavoriteThings for my background and for the greeting. I used the biggest "happy" die cut for the greeting, and added glossy accents to it to make it pop. I used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies from MyCreativeTime for the circle. For the greeting, I used the Sending Sunshine set from Wplus9. 

I hope your week is off to a happy start.
