Introducing a sweet new release from Hello Bluebird! Happy GOOD Friday!

Hi friends! Happy Friday! Happy GOOD Friday! It's a blessed and beautiful day indeed! I hope you have a beautiful Easter weekend this weekend, as we all try to make the most of the holiday. We'll be watching church online all weekend and having a backyard party with just the two of us. It's going to be a gorgeous weekend here in Sacramento. Sending love your way.

There was a brand new release yesterday from Hello Bluebird. I was lucky enough to have Kaydee mail me some of the stamp sets early so I could make a project to share with you. Like every other release from Hello Bluebird, this one is perfectly sweet and beautiful. I love everything from this company!! I chose to make a little Easter Hello greeting with a cute bun bun and a girl in her Easter dress!!! 

My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I layered some pink and white mini gingham and then a white panel for the top. I combined three of the new stamp sets to make my scene. I kept the background lighter because I was going for a storybook feeling!

 

I started by stamping the trees directly onto the background. Then I stamped the rocks/grass, the bun bun, the girl, and the bird. I colored everything with Copic markers and cut them out by hand (the dies are backordered because of Covid...)  I used a little piece of the gingham to paper piece her shirt and bow to match the bottom layer of the card.

 

I die cut a cloud die and stamped the sentiment directly onto the top of it. I used Distress ink to gently ink the clouds and the ground.

 

Everything was affixed to the card using foam tape for dimension - you know I love that!

 

The rocks/grass image is part of a giant background stamp, I stamped just this part using my MISTI and cut it out to place under the trees. Tip: To add some rock interest I used just the fine tip of my marker to add some dots. 

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I will see you next week with some more cards and other crafty things! XOXO

Hey Busy Bee! Fun with Create A Smile Stamps! Bzzzzzz

Hi everyone! I'm buzzin by with a cute little bee card today! I can't wait for the days when we can all go out and be busy bees again! Hope you're doing well and staying healthy. We are good here - just stir crazy and ready to get back to normal. Like everyone... Happy Easter Week also! I have LOTS of fun and cheerful cards to share in the next couple of weeks. 

I used a super adorable stamp set called "Best Bugs" from Create A Smile Stamps! Seriously SO cute. I used copic markers and some pretty purple and yellow hues... Oh, and gingham too! The finished card is an A2 white card base.

 

This stamp set doesn't have matching dies so I stamped the flowers directly onto a white stitched circle! I stamped the flowers three times across the bottom of the circle. I stamped the flowers one more time on another paper and cut them out to layer on top. I stamped and hand cut out that sweet bee. Everything was colored with Copic Markers.

 

Could he beeeeee any sweeter?? I added some white gel pen accents and Diamond Stickles... He's holding a love letter!!

 

In this photo you can see my layers... I covered the front of the white card base with pretty purple gingham. Then I wrapped more gingham, and cord around the center of that top rectangular panel. Two stitched circles...

 

I stamped the sentiment onto the white rectangular panel. I hardly ever use purple - but I love it with this bright sunshiney yellow!!

 

Here are my Copic Colors for this project.

 

 

 

 

 

Just a sprinkling of enamel dots finish off this card and it's ready for mailing!

Thanks for stopping by today! I'll be back on Friday with a card using BRAND NEW stamps from Hello Bluebird! Yeah! Can't wait to show ya!! Take care friends until I see you next. XOXO

Amazing Grace - Palm Sunday 2020

Hi everyone! Happy Palm Sunday, and Happy Holy Week! I sure do miss going to church and really am going to miss it this week especially. This morning I got up and watched church on my phone in the craft room. Um, okay, we're doing things a little differently now right? I was happy to hear the music and even had a little tear in my eye. I will be so happy when we can all get back to normal things again... Wishing you a blessed and beautiful week. Easter is my favorite holiday and I will try to make it as special as I can for us here at our home. Sending you hugs and love. I hope you are holding up okay right now. 

Yesterday I had kind of a breakthrough. Breakdown? Not sure really. I poured my heart out in a very very long Instagram post and it felt good to get all my feelings out into the world. My hope was that just maybe I could make even one person feel better by letting them know they're not alone. Well, the outpouring of love in the comments and wise words filled my cup and uplifted me so much. I awoke this morning feeling a lot better than yesterday and ready to try to create. 

This morning I ended up making a clean and simple card to celebrate the amazing grace shown to me yesterday by my IG friends and every day by my savior. I used pretty palm leaf dies and a gorgeous sentiment, and my fav watercolors. The finished card is an A2 card base from brown paper from my stash...

 

I used my MISTI to stamp this GORGEOUS sentiment directly onto a watercolor cardstock panel. I wanted it to look watercolored to match the leaves. I put the stamp onto my MISTI and inked it with water based Distess Ink. Before stamping it, I used a sprayer to mist the ink on the stamp... Then I stamped it. The water on the ink on the stamp makes a soft flowing edge, like watercolor ink!! Perfect. This stamp is from the set called Handlettered Easter by TE. This stamp series (handlettered) is really really pretty. I'm working on collecting all of them for my stash. LOVE. 

 

I die cut three of the palm leaves using watercolor paper. Then I used watercolor paints to color them in pretty green shades. Once they were dry I added green splatters. I also used gold paint to splatter the background panel.

 

Here's a close up of the leaves and coloring. This is really a wonderful die set! Flowers and leaves both. CLICK HERE to see a card I made with them last year! I tied a bit of twine around the bottom of the cards also for a bit more somethin somethin. 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for coming by today! Sending hugs your way! XOXO

Pretty Spring Lemon Cake!

Hey friends! It's almost the weekend... Wait, what day is it?? The only way I am keeping track of days lately is that my husband is working from our dining room so I know it's the weekend when he's not buried in his laptop! Otherwise.... How are you holding up with being sheltered at home? I have good days and bad days. I'm trying not to think about it and keep busy here at home. Today was a brilliant day to go for a walk. I've been cooking a ton, too. Trying recipes and taking my time in the kitchen. Because normally it's rush, rush, rush all the time. We have a huge window in our kitchen that faces the most beautiful big oak tree. I'm taking it all in....stirring and whisking and chopping. I hope you are doing good and staying mentally and physically well. XO

One of the things I made last week was a beautiful lemon cake! Our neighbors behind us have a big lemon tree in their backyard, right where it joins our backyard. And, lots of the branches have grown over the fence... You know the saying... When life gives you lemons! The lemons are a variety I've never seen before. When you cut them open they have just the very slightest tint of pink!! They are sour but juicy and delicious. And because I have so much time on my hands I decided to do a photo essay. Because I miss going out and taking pictures of FOOD! Lol. 

Here is the finished cake - dusted in powdered sugar.

 

And one of those pretty lemons right off the tree.

 

See how they are slightly pink inside?? This color is divine!!! Only nature...

 

Here's a photo I posted on Instagram when I was getting ready. This is my cool lemon pan from Crate and Barrel. I've had it for years! 

 

I love this pretty and simple design that the cake pan makes! I have a little muffin pan that makes bees and honeycombs! I haven't used it yet!!

 

 

 

 

 

It was pretty dang delicious too! Didn't last long!! HERE'S THE RECIPE - FOUND ON PINTEREST!

Okay friends - please stay well and happy! I will see you back here soon with a crafty project! Love ya! XOXO

Welcome Spring - cute little bluebirds!

Hi crafty friends! Guess what? It's Spring outside! Even though we're not out doing all the spring things...we can still craft for Spring! I have been making lots of cheerful, colorful greetings... Maybe trying to cheer myself up! I'm drawn to critters lately too! Lots of coloring. Because coloring totally gets my mind off of things. I love to put on music in the craft room and lose track of time and color. I hope all of you are doing well when you read this note. Thinking of you and wishing you the best during this strange time in life. XOXO

Today's card features stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird and Lawn Fawn. This finished card is 7" x 4" and I made it using white cardstock and my trusty Scor-pal tool. This card will fit into a business size envelope for mailing. I colored these cute birdies for the coloring challenge and then on Saturday I made them into this card to WELCOME SPRING!! 

 

These cutie patootie bluebirds are from Hello Bluebird Stamps - how appropriate! This set has been in my craft room for a while and I finally used it. YEAH! I stamped and die cut out three birdies and colored them with Copics. Then I colored some flowers and one wee little ladybug too!

 

This little guy is affixed to the card with a mini action wobble!! He's flying off the card!! This makes me ridiculously happy. The words are spelled out using a brand new alphabet die set from Lawn Fawn - Oliver's Alphabet. I have this obsession with alphabet dies! I'm not gonna deny it. This one is PERFECT for cards. It's just the exact right size to spell out anything and that stitched detail is one I always love. 

 

I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the MFT cloud stencils (both the regular one and the mini one) to create a cloudy backdrop for the little guys. Just a faint blue... The background and the letters were spritzed with white gloss spray! (Another new product in my room)... Yes, I'm using all the new things!

 

Here's a side view of the action wobble! Have you used these before? I love them!! SO easy to add something to your cards!! 

 

wobble wobble wobble

 

I glued the letters directly to the top layer with Lawn Fawn glue and tweezers. The critters were attached with foam tape.

 

 

 

I tucked in some pretty yellow flowers behind the bird. I felt like the card needed a bit more yellow...

 

 

Okay, friends, that's it for today! I'm posting on Instagram every day now - all different things. If you're not already, find me over there, and we can keep in touch throughout this lockdown. I'd love to see you there too! Be well, stay healthy, and craft on! XOXO

Bunny Kisses and Springtime Wishes! Colored Pencils on Kraft paper...

Hi there crafty friends! How are you doing? How are you holding up to all the crazy news in the world today? I have to admit I've had my bad days lately. All of this is so stressful and I am a worrier by nature anyway. My husband is working from home and that means 24 hour togetherness....We are doing good together but I am very used to time alone!! Lots of lessons in patience and grace right now. Yesterday I drove to the park and read a book under the trees and it was marvelous to be out in the fresh air. My thoughts went to how much we take for granted. I hope that whatever is happening in your life because of the Covid Virus - that you are doing okay. I hope that your family is all safe and well. That's our main priority right now - keep everyone safe. I'm sending out a big giant virtual hug from Sacramento. XOXO

I've been trying to keep up with the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge! I've missed quite a few days, but that's alright! I'm making my way along with less mojo than normal, and it's all good. For today's project I used my Prismacolor Colored Pencils on Kraft paper. It's a look/technique I love, but I forget to do. I used an adorable stamp set with a Spring theme. Easter is on the way after all!! Cute bunny and some flowers....

This finished card is an A2 white card base. One layer of pretty teal cardstock and then my kraft layer. Clean and simple card design, with the focus on the images. 

 

This stamp set has the adorable rain boot image, and then a bunny and a kitty, and flowers to put in the top! SO cute!! There are also flower pots and a hanging pot. I chose the rain boot, flowers and bunny. I started by stamping the boot on a kraft panel. Then I used my Mini MISTI to line up the flowers coming out of the top. The I used mask paper to mask off the boot, and stamped the little flower pot. On a separate kraft paper, I stamped the second boot, the bunny, and the small flowers and die cut them out using the matching dies.

I colored all the images using Prismacolor Pencils. I used a lot of the white pencil to add bright highlights. I think the white pencil looks so nice on kraft paper!! I splattered some white gloss spray on just the top and bottom of the kraft layer. 

 

I stamped this sweet sentiment in black ink directly onto the kraft panel. I used my MISTI for perfect placement. I added a few clear droplets onto the card. I love using those when I think that the image should have water... Just a little bit of morning dew!

 

 

 

To assemble the card I put the second rain boot onto the card using foam squares. I tucked the bunny over the lip of the boot. EEP.

 

The teal layer was made with a gorgeous new Frilly Frames background die! As you can see, it makes the PERFECT layer for an A2 card!! AND it has a center piece that you can use with it that makes eyelet!! I am obsessed. Check it out here. You can use the center piece alone, this outline piece alone, or use them together. Brilliant!!

 

I want to tell you quickly about something new too! For this project I used my new Hero Arts Mini MISTI!! One of the 'big deals' at Creativation this year was the announcement of the partnership between Hero Arts and My Sweet Petunia to create a line of new sleek black MISTI's! They are super cool. I did a series of Instagram videos about the sizes, etc. You can find them in my Instagram Stories Highlights if you want to see more about them! The mini is perfect to pack into your crafting travel bag!! And there is a giant 12x12 one for Scrapbook pages - so awesome. CLICK HERE if you want to check them out!!

 

 

 

Thank you so so so much for coming by my blog and spending part of your day with me. I am so excited to hear from you! I'm lonely here in my craft cave. I miss everyone and everything. I hope you are doing well and please take care. XOXO

Introducing The Greetery - Fresh Air Collection - Day 2!

Welcome to day two of the project sharing for The Greetery's March Release! I hope you saw my post from yesterday (if not, scroll down and you'll see it!) The new release is called the Fresh Air Collection. And, boy, is it a breath of fresh air indeed! Pretty florals, new clouds dies, stripes, alphabets, and a sweet little convertible car! It is my distinct pleasure to share these new things with you! I love being part of this amazing team! Full list of our wonderful team members' blogs is at the bottom of this post. 

The new products go live in The Greetery Shop on Friday, March 27th at 10am EST! Mark your calendars! Quick note from Betsy - a few of the dies have been delayed in production because the factory had to shut down due to the corona virus situation... She predicts the dies will be available in early April - so two weeks' delay. We are all adjusting on the fly these days, right? 

The products being introduced today are: Print Shop Fresh Floral stamp + stencil + dies, Fresh Floral Background stamp, Slim Alphabet Dies, and Alpha Buds stamps + Dies. You are in for a treat!! I used the florals and the slim alphabet to create two totally different cards to share with you. One is vintage and feminine and the other one has a big rainbow on it!  Please pop over to The Greetery Blog to see the cards and information from Betsy! 

My first card today is an A2 size vintage style card with tons of yummy, pretty layers! I used the new floral background and the floral stem in a favorite color combination of pink and green...

 

In this photo you can see all the layers... Pretty cream postage stamp layer, green, and another cream layer with a stitched border. Everything was inked up with a sponge dauber and Vintage Photo Distress Ink... That background stamp is SO gorgeous! I stamped it in a mid shade green to look like wallpaper. YES!

 

For the floral panel, I used cream cardstock. I stamped the background stamp in green using my MISTI for a nice impression. Then I used one of the word stamps from the Pretty Postmarks set to add the faint text on top of the floral. Then I splattered the panel with gold paint. THEN...I inked the edges! I really like how this came out. Very vintage!

 

 

 

I stamped and die cut out the floral stem and smaller flowers. I used cream cardstock and edged everything with distress ink. I heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of vellum and wrapped the vellum around the top layers. Finished off with a pearl for a bit of shimmer and some ribbon from my stash. These florals are so beautiful!!

 

Okay, put on your sunglasses!!! This next card is a rainbow! The finished card is an A2 white card base. I used the Crimped edges dies to make my layers along with some golden yellow cardstock. I used the Fresh Florals set to stamp sprigs, leaves and flowers in a dark grey ink. I used vellum for this card also.

 

I die cut the letters of the rainbow using the new Slim Alphabet dies and my favorite tropical cardstock. I glued the letters onto a vellum strip... The sentiment is from the Top Dow Day stamp set featured yesterday. I LOVE that sentiment!!

 

The fonts in this stamp are PERFECTiON!!!! I used my circle dies to create this sentiment piece. Love the bright yellow with that saying.

 

To finish off, I attached some rainbow stickers from my stash (sometimes it's good that I'm a craft hoarder!)...

Introducing The Greetery - Fresh Air Collection - March 2020!

Welcome to day one of the project sharing for The Greetery's March Release! YEAH! We could all use some fun crafty things right now to cheer us up!  The new release is called the Fresh Air Collection. And, boy, is it a breath of fresh air indeed! Pretty florals, new clouds dies, stripes, and a sweet little convertible car! I had so much creative fun making the cards I'm sharing today!! Full list of our wonderful team members' blogs is at the bottom of this post. 

The new products go live in The Greetery Shop on Friday, March 27th at 10am EST! Mark your calendars! Quick note from Betsy - a few of the dies have been delayed in production because the factory had to shut down due to the corona virus situation... She predicts the dies will be available in early April - so two weeks' delay. We are all adjusting on the fly these days, right? 

The products being introduced today are: Top Down Day stamps + dies, Silver Lining Dies, and the Painterly Stripes background stamp (which is red rubber!) I used all three products and it was a joy to work with them!! I'm sharing two cards today with that cute convertible! Please pop over to The Greetery Blog to see the cards and information from Betsy! 

My first card showcases the Painterly Stripes background and the Top Down Day stamps and dies. I used my favorite watercolor paints to color the images! The finished card is an A2 red cardstock card base. I layered the stripes and then one more layer with the cute car. This stamp set lends itself to a clean and graphic style of cards I think!

 

I stamped and die cut the car, the balloons and the girl using watercolor cardstock. Then I painted them all using Mijello watercolor paints. I kept the color palette fresh and bright with rainbow colors! My first car I ever bought brand new was a convertible!! Oh, man, how I loved that car!!! (A Volkswagen Cabriolet!) 

 

Here's a close up of the stripes background stamp... I stamped it in Candied Apple Distress Ink and used a damp paint brush to soften the edges of the stripes. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the top layer. 

 

Everything was attached to the card using foam squares to pop off the page!

 

Doesn't this just make you want to go for a drive??!! YES!

Next up is another graphic and clean card. It's a finished A2 card base made from white cardstock - that was covered with gingham patterned paper. The top layer has the convertible stamped directly onto it.... Then I layered those yummy new clouds dies!!

 

I used the happy word die in rich black paper and then stamped the sentiment Summer onto the top cloud. I thought the fonts worked nicely together! See how gorgeous those clouds are?? Just a bit of detail with the pierced dots. I edged the clouds with Distress Ink and then went over them with a bit of Wink Of Stella pen.

 

The car has a floral option for the back that is just gorgeous!!!!!

Pretty Pink Posh March 2020 Release! Love you bunches!

Hello my sweet friends. How are you?? Like, really, how are you? I'm freaked out, to be honest. I feel weird. This is the strangest time ever. I have super high anxiety and I am so worried for my friends who own their own small businesses. Not to mention being freaked out by this virus and what it might do. I honestly don't know what to think. Yesterday, my husband's work finally sent them all off to work from home. So now here we are, me, Lucky and hubs... Now what? I guess I'll keep crafting and try not to watch the news too much, and pray. What else is there to do? I am sending hugs and good vibes your way and I'm hoping you are all doing fine and staying healthy and busy. Much love. XO

Pretty Pink Posh has a new release today - a small release for Easter and Spring! Paulina, the owner of PPP just had a sweet baby boy two weeks ago, so she has her hands full! So she asked some of us to spread the word about the new products. Everything is so fresh and pretty. My favorite item is the new Hedgehogs set, so I colored that one right away and made a card. Please CLICK HERE to see the entire new lineup. 

My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered some gingham patterned paper (my fav) and then used one of the gorgeous new border dies as an accent. 

 

I stamped the hedgie, the mushrooms, the heart and branch and die cut them all with the matching dies. I colored everything with Copic Markers and used a white gel pen to add accents.

 

To make the 'ground' for the hedgie I used two shades of Distress Inks and added blue to the top and green to the bottom of a rectangular panel. Easy way to add some color and still keep the layout clean and pretty.

 

I die cut the new scallop border die from white cardstock and added it on top of the gingham. I stamped the cute sentiment directly onto the scalloped panel. I placed the heart in the hedgie's hand...

 

Just a few Nuvo Drops accents to finish off the card! Oh! And some pearls too...

 

 

 

Here's a little peek at some of the other products being released today! I will do some Instagram Stories today and show you the new release - so pop over and check it out!! 

Thank you for coming by today! CLICK HERE to shop the new PPP release!  Please take good care during this strange situation. I hope we're all out having fun and enjoying Spring very soon!! Love ya, mean it. XOXO

Guest Designing with Catherine Pooler! Fresh & Fruity! Introducing the Forever 13 Collection!

Hi there everyone! Whew. How are you? Like truly, how are you? Things are weird right now, and I haven't left my house in a week. Not sure how to correctly process everything that's happening in the world so I'm just trying to stay positive and creative. I hope that whatever's going on with you - that you are good, and healthy. One good thing about being crafty is that we have a LOT of things to do when we're stuck at home, right? Silver linings and all that. I was supposed to go to a three day creative class/workshop this weekend and that just got postponed. Kinda bummed, not gonna lie. Me, hubs and Lucky are all doing okay. I have a very very cheery post for you today!

I am guest designing today for the brand new release from Catherine Pooler. The release is called Forever 13 and OMG it's all soooo adorable and FUN. Think roller skates, and rainbows, and fruit... Cheery things. Also, images of Lisa Frank go through my head with this collection. COLOR!! This is the third or fourth time I've guest designed for Catherine Pooler and I have to tell you I am always so impressed by the quality of everything. The patterned paper is THICK and gorgeous...luxe even. The stamps give a perfect impression right from the package. And don't get me started on those awesome ink pads. YUM. If you've never ordered from her store before - I'm gonna ask you to go over and take a peek. I think you'll like it. 

I'm sharing a card and some pretty rosettes I made with the Fresh and Fruity paper pad and the Sweet Life stamps and dies. Let's get started! This finished card is an A2 white card base. I covered the front of it with polka dot paper flush with the card base. I used stitched die for this layer. Next I used the pretty pink lemons paper and then a tag...That's the base for my stamping. 

 

I stamped and die cut those juicy lemons and the leaves and set them aside. I inked the sentiment directly onto the tag. I love black against all that bold color.

 

I used some green sequins from the new sequin collection. The tag is attached to the card with foam tape for dimension...

 

At the top I put some twine and a clothespin from my stash. EEK. So delightful. The stamp set is kinda mod and 70's and I'm loving it.

 

Here's a peek at the collection!

 

So I wanted to make another project, and I really wanted to use all that pretty paper, so I decided to make some rosettes! This is a cool and fun thing to make! I have a little basket in my craft room with rosettes in it. I will grab one to tie onto a gift bag or present just to jazz it up. I like to use kraft wrapping paper and then embellish with ribbons and rosettes and things. Kinda my vibe. You can get a pretty gift box and put a gift card in it, put a rosette on top and voila - pretty gift all ready!! I'm crushing on the strawberry stamp - it's my favorite from the stamp set. 

 

Super easy to make a rosette! I cut 2 strips of paper 1.5 inches x 6 inches. Then I used my Scor-pal and scored every 1/4 inch. Then you just fold then like an accordion and glue them together. I like to use my little cordless hot glue gun so it's quick. After the rosettes were made, I used circle dies to layer papers to the look I wanted. Then they were topped off with fruits and sequins.

 

I added some paper banners to each rosette - just quickly cut them by hand. Then I added twine and gemstones... I used one of the pretty accent stamps to add light pink scallops under the berries. 

 

 

The entire new collection is available now for shopping! Have fun! It's time to stamp in color for Spring and Summer. And I'm totally ready.

Thank you for coming by today! So good to see you! Are you crafting more right now? What are you working on?? I'll be back on Friday with a card I made for the new release from PPP and then next week is The Greetery new release. Lots of fun things coming up!! Until then, please take good care. XOXO
