Smile, it's your day!

Hi! I made this card today, and I really dig how it turned out. I masked off a circle and used the Lattice stencil by Heidi Swapp to blend on picked raspberry, ripe persimmon, and mustard seed distress inks. It's hard to tell from the pics, but I layered up the Stitched Camera Die by MyCreativeTime a bunch of times with black cardstock, and added while on top. Looks really cool from the side in person. 

I turned the camera into a tiny shaker. ;) The greeting is from the It's All About You set from MyCreativeTime.

p.s. My Sailor said, "Whoa! That camera looks like leather." LOL I think he thought that because of the stitching? I don't know. Silly boys. ;)

Made In Mintues

Hello! It's Made in Minutes day at MyCreativeTime. Today we make quick projects. My card today took a little less than 15 minutes. I started by creating a mask so I could use the Chevron stencil from Heidi Swapp to ink up a circle. I used mint julep Hero Arts Shadow ink. 

I used the Typewriter die to stamp the typewriter and greeting from the Once Upon A Time set by MyCreativeTime.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Hello! For my card today I used the Polka Dots stencil from Heidi Swapp to make my background so it would perfectly match my ice cream scoops. I used bubblegum and mint julep shadow inks, and dried marigold distress ink for the dots and scoops. The sweet ice cream cone is from the Yummies set by PeachyKeenStamps. I added an extra scoop. ;)

Those adorable faces are from the Kawaii Face Assortment by PeachyKeenStamps. LOVE those faces! The greeting is from the Celebrate Good Times set from MyCreativeTime. 

On a non stamping related note...I can't believe tonight is the season finale of The Walking Dead. :( Do you watch? I'm a tv junkie. I'm obsessed with the ID channel! Have it on all day while I create. :)

You Rock!

Hello and HAPPY FRIDAY! :) I am in total love with the Faceless Chickens from PeachyKeenStamps! LOVE I tell ya! ;) I just had to make a rockstar chicken. His super cool sunglasses are from the Sunny Side Up Sentiments set by PeachyKeenStamps. {that set is on SALE right now}... I stamped them on his face, and another time so I could cut them out and add glossy accents to make them shiny. I used the legs from the April 2013 set from PeachyKeenStamps to make him tall. :)

And every rocker needs a microphone, right?! The microphone is from the Karaoke Birthday Set by PeachyKeenStamps. I added some stickles to it to make look kind of real. :) The greeting is from the Great Big Greetings set by MarketStreetStamps which unfortunately closed. 

I hope you have a ROCKIN' weekend!

p.s. I googled the Great Big Greetings set and it looks like you can get it HERE. It's a really awesome set. :) 

Be brilliant...

Hello! I stamped and white heat embossed the new Chicken Wire Background by PeachyKeenStamps. And then I used just about every color of distress marker to color it in a rainbow. :) Then I spritzed it with perfect pearls and water in a mini mister...

See the shimmer? :) I used the Tag Dies from MyCreativeTime to cut a tag from vellum. And then I white heat embossed the greeting from the Girls Night Out set by MyCreativeTime. 

I really dig how this turned out.

Designer Challenge

Hello! It's time for another Designer Challenge at MyCreativeTime. The challenge this time is to create a project using no patterned paper. For my card, I masked off the edges and masked a square for my greeting. I then used a rainbow of shadow inks to stamp the Build a Chevy Background. LOVE those customized chevrons! :)

I stamped the greeting from the It's All About You set by MyCreativeTime...added a few sequins and called it done. And there you have it, a pretty one layer birthday card. :)

Whatever Wednesday "Hey girl"

Hiya! It's Whatever Wednesday at MyCreativeTime. Today we make whatever our little hearts desire. I am SO HAPPY with how this one turned out. I used the Lowercase Fun Dies to cut masks from Post It Craft Paper. I positioned them where I wanted and then used my picked raspberry distress ink reinker and water in a mini mister to make my own spray mist. Then, I sprayed the living daylights out of it. Ha! I used my heat tool to dry it. Then I used the Heidi Swapp Butterfly stencil and sprayed gold lame Heidi Swapp color shine over it. 

I dried my panel really well and peeled off the masks...and voila! EEK! I love LOVE love how this turned out! Finished it off with a few sequins. :)
