Love you to the moon and back

Hello and happy Friday peoples! :) This is one of my favorite cards I've made in a long time! Kinda felt like I had my mojo back while I was making it, and that's pretty rad! :) I used the adorbs Over The Moon stamp set from PeachyKeenStamps for the cow and the greeting. I {of course} paper pieced the cow. All the patterned papers are from the Sweetheart pad by Doodlebug. Super cute papers! I cut a circle from vellum and embossed it to make my "moon". Finished it off with some glossy accents covered hearts and sequins. 

I hope you have a GREAT weekend!

MCT Inspiration Wednesday

Hello! It's Inspiration Wednesday over at MyCreativeTime. Today is the day we make something that was inspired by something. I was SUPER inspired taking the Stenciled class at OnlineCardClasses. So, I busted out a stencil and got inky. :) I first inked up this stencil with lemon yellow shadow ink. Then I shifted the stencil over slightly and inked it again with bubble gum shadow ink. This ends up making 3 colors {orange-ish in the middle}. And I then {of course} turned the panel into a shaker. ;) I stamped the greeting from the Fun Variety On The Inside And Out set from MyCreativeTime

You're Such A Deer

Hiya! I had fun making this card. :) I started by clear heat embossing the Woodland Birch Background from PeachyKeenStamps on some valentine patterned paper. Then I used pale tomato, fresh peach, and soft cantaloupe shadow inks to make my little love forest. :) I paper pieced the sweet dear from the December 2013 set. The greeting is also from the December 2013 set.

Fun with Stencils :)

Hiya! Today was the first day of the Stenciled class over at OnlineCardClasses. It was a great first day! So I had to do my "homework". ;) I busted out the Falling Stars Stencil from SimonSaysStamp. I inked it up with a rainbow of Hero Arts Shadow Inks. I then {of course} turned it into a shaker. I used the 3 Stitched Stars die from MyCreativeTime to cut my window. Then I filled that puppy up with a rainbow of sequins. :)
I stamped the greeting from the Polka Dot Surprise set from MyCreativeTime. I filled in the polka dots with a black pen to make the greeting a little more bold so it would stand out more. Love stretching stamps! 

I hope you're having a fabulous {and inky} day.

Whatever Wednesday

Hiya! It's Whatever Wednesday over at MyCreativeTime. Today we make whatever we want. I used the fabulous new Puffy Hearts Just For you set to stamp my polka dot hearts. I used Pale Tomato, Fresh Peach, and Soft Cantaloupe Hero Arts Shadow Inks. The greeting is also fro the Puffy Hearts Just for You set. The tiny hearts are stamped with the baby heart from the new Once Upon A Time set. 
I used the Once Upon A Time set to stamp I love you on the Stitched Circle Tab Die. I stamped the hearts on the tab with the Circle Tab Sentiments Set. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but I chopped off the top of the card so the tab is used to open it. :)

MyCreativeTime Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello! It's day 2 of sneaks for the latest MyCreativeTime release. For this first card I used the adorable new Mini Stitched Envelope Die. This is a small 3x3 card that would be cute as a valentine for kids. The sweet little hearts are from the new Stitched Sweetheart and XOXO Dies. Here's my other card for today...
I used the fabulous new Stitched Sweetheart and XOXO Dies to create my shaker window. Look closely and you'll see that these dies leave stitching on the outside of the die cut as well! Neat, huh?! I used that same die set to cut 5 XOXO's and glue them together to make faux chipboard. :) That sweet greeting is from the new Puffy Hearts Just For You set.
