Sharing Some Cards I Created

Hi crafty friends! Today I have some projects to share using a variety of products in my stash. Here is what I made:

I made these two cute cards featuring stamps from My Favorite Things. 

I stamped, embossed and colored up the images using Copics. The backgrounds were inked using the Stamp Anniething Diamond Ball Crosshatch stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and Spun Sugar ink. 

The sentiments were embossed and and cut using the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips stamps and dies. 

For the frames I cut out the hearts in rainbow colors on this one and the other I left open. I embellished with iridescent sequins from Honey Bee Stamps. 

For my second set of cards I used the Wave Hollow stencil for the backgrounds.

For this first background I used distress inks and Nuvo Glimmer Paste to add texture and sparkle.

The adorable mermaids and sea creatures are from the Love Cynthia Just Keep Swimming stamps. I stamped, embossed and colored up these cuties using Copics. 

For the second background I masked off the semi-circle and moved the stencil around and ink blended to get a cohesive effect. 

I framed the background using the largest die from the Stackable Spiral Pattern Circle Dies. I embellished with the same Honey Bee sequins and stamped and embossed the sentiment.

I hope you like my projects! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day :)

U R GREAT Father's Day Card

Hey there crafty friends! Today I have a card I made super quick to send to my Father-in-law for Father's Day. Hubby asked if I had a "guy" card and of course I did not LOL! I've been wanting to use this truck die from Spellbinders for forever so I pulled it out and went to work.

I asked hubby for a theme and since his dad has a dark gray truck and lives in Arizona he said make it driving into the sunset in the desert LOL. Well, this is what I came up with. First I inked up the background using distress inks. I cut the truck out using cardstock and mirror cardstock from Sizzix. 

I added an extra touch by inking up the license plate. The cactus cuts are using a Stamp Anniething Die set. It's hard to see in the pics but I added some acetate behind the windshield.

I also added the cactus to the inside of the card and stamped a sentiment from Jaded Blossom.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a great day :)
