there's no bunny like you

Hello and happy Saturday to you! For this card I used the sweet Bunny Dolls set from PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped the bunny on kraft cardstock and cut her out. The patterned paper is from the gorgeous collection called Graceful from Echo Park. I paper pieced her ears and her bow which is also from the Bunny Dolls set. I added a bit of glossy accents to her nose. 

The cute sentiment is from the Color Me Happy set from MyCreativeTime. I hope you're having a great weekend! The new movie on HBO tonight is Bridesmaids...if you haven't seen it...you're missing out on the funniest female cast ever in the history of the world. HA. Melissa McCarthy {Mike and Molly} is hysterical AND she's from my hometown of Plainfield Illinois! :)

You're Cool!

Hiya! Nikki here with a card made using the cutest little surfer dude ever! Boogie Board Max is just, like totally awesome dude! {that was me using surfer lingo} I am just a tad obsessed with paper piecing, so that's what I did with Boogie Board Max. Admittedly it is a time consuming process, but I personally find it incredibly relaxing! And the outcome is just totally tubular! ;) 

I used the Beach Bum collection from Fancy Pants Designs to paper piece him. And that perfect sentiment  is from the Cheep Talk set. I think any little boy {or big boy} would be like totally stoked to get this card in the mail. :)

Have a GREAT day!!!

Throwback Thursday

Hello! Welcome to another Throwback Thursday with MyCreativeTime. For this challenge, use any "older" cartridge and make a project of your choice. I used the fabulous Script Type Backgrounds on my card. I stamped the background and inked it up with distress ink in tumbled glass. 

I cut that simple butterfly from the April Showers cricut cartridge and stamped it also with the Script Type Background. I inked it up with shabby shutters distress ink and then sprinkled a little water on while the ink was still wet to get a splotchy look. Then I heat set it and spritzed with perfect pearls and water in a mini mister to add some shine. To finish this little butterfly off I wrapped some black embroidery thread around it. OH and the cute little "hi" is from the Teeny Tag Greetings set. 

Ok, pop over to Emma's Blog to see the awesomeness she created...and the awesomeness that the rest of the DT created ;)...........AND to play along in the challenge! :)

Quack quack ;)

Hello! I hope your day was just ducky! ;) I finally got my paws on the lacy circle nesties. I have wanted them forever to use with my fiskars apron lace border punch. Looks so cute together! I stamped the cutest duck ever from the Duck Dolls set from PeachyKeenStamps. I just LOVE this set to pieces!!! One of my all time absolute favorites! I paper pieced this sweetie with paper from the Springtime collection from Echo Park. Gosh, yellow makes me happy. 

This adorable duckie from the Duck Dolls set is also a die!!! The die is called Duck and Egg...AND there is another coordinating die called Duck Accessories. So quackin' cute! ;) 

Ok...are you watching Dancing With The Stars??? The Voice??? Hate having to pick one and to DVR the other.....such PROBLEMS!!! Baaaahahahahahaha

thank you

Hiya. I ordered some sticky back canvas to try out. It is super cool stuff! I cut a piece with the XL Label die from MyCreativeTime. I stamped and inked it with distress stains in broken china and shabby shutter....Well I HATED how dark it turned out! But I didn't want to waste it so I did some googling and found a video about using embossing powders on the back/sticky part. So I made a little mask with my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and then heat embossed with clear powder. You can see the shine here

Because I used clear you can see the cool texture of the canvas through it. Oh and I removed the mask and white embossed that. It didn't turn out perfect, but I think it's cool. ;) Stitching through the canvas with twine was tricky, but I looked too plain without it. :) The sentiment is from PaperTreyInk.com. 

Happy good tv night! ;)
