Instagram Blog Hop

Hi, there. Yesterday I participated in the the PaperCraftersUniteAgainstRacism Blog Hop on Instagram. I created two cards which I am now sharing here. 

My first card uses Hero Arts Color Layering Flower Power set for the image and the sentiment. My second card uses Picket Fence Studio’s BFF Ballerina Friends for the images and Hero Art’s Better Together set for the sentiments. You can go to Instagram to see all the Hop participants’ project. It starts with @1busyb.

Three Room Studio Challenge: Thank You

Hi, there!  We have a new challenge at Three Room Studio this week:  Thank You.  Here's my card using the Coffee Mug digital stamp:

I colored the mug with my Spectrum Noir markers and then cut it out with my ScanNCut2.  I adhered it to a patterned paper scrap from my stash. Then I adhered that to a black panel to provide a small black border. I applied Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink through a stencil to a kraft card base to which I attached the image panel.  Finally I added a sentiment from my stash.

This card was fun to make.  It's perfect for a coffee loving friend, don't you think?

Please view the cards my fellow team members created:

Winter Friend Card

Good day, friends!  Today I am again using the Merry Critters set from Kat Scrappiness.  It's so cute and so versatile!

I created my snow background using the Honey Bee Stamps Snow Day stencil available at Kat Scrappiness.  The snow is from Martha Stewart - Sparkle Texture Effect which I have had for years and years.  The holographic snow bank is from my stash. The sweet little images are colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. I think this turned out cute as can be.

Three Room Studio Saturday Challenge: Winter

Hi, friends and Happy New Year!  It's time for the Three Room Studio Saturday Challenge.  This week's challenge is Winter.  

I used the Mitten digital stamp.  I totally challenged myself by learning how to flip the image so that I had a pair of mittens rather than just a single one.  I colored the mittens using my Spectrum Noir markers and then embossed them to give them the appearance of being knitted.  I love that texture.  I used a background cover die for the pattern on the card panel.  Then I sponged Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide onto the center of the panel.  After adhering the mittens to the panel, I added some bling and a sentiment from the Welcome Winter stamp set.

Merry Critters Tag

The sweet little images in the Kat Scrappiness Merry Critters set are perfect for holiday tags. This one came together quickly.  I blended Distress Oxides for the background - Warm Lipstick, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet with a touch of Black Soot around the edges. I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Markers and used a white gel pen for the snow. Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment using Detail White Embossing Powder from my stash.  Finally, I added a ribbon.  So cute and such fun!

You still have a bit of time to order and receive this adorable set from the store if you hurry.  It's perfect to create a tag for a gift or to add to a card.

Merry Critters from Kat Scrappiness

Hello friends!  I'm back with a card using products available at Kat Scrappiness.  I made this wreath using Kat's Merry Critters set, which in addition to these cute critters and sentiment, has two other critters, a sled filled with presents, and four other sentiments. I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir markers and cut them out with my ScanNCut.  I cut the wreath using two circles from the Never Ending Circle Die Set and embossed the background using Sunny Studio's Cable Knit 6x6 Embossing Folder.  

                              

This cute little card was a lot of fun to make.  Check out the Kat Scrappiness website to see this and other adorable must haves.

Kat Scrappiness Dress Up Quokkas

Hi, there!  I'm delighted to share my very first post as an Influencer for Kat Scrappiness.  The KS shop has lots of delightful images, amazing dies and assorted embellishments among other items.  I used the cute little quokkas on a Christmas card.  These adorable animals live in Australia, but I have taken artistic license by placing them on a snow mound.

The background is created with the Stitched Winter Swirl Backdrop Die.  The sentiment is the Happy Holidays Brush Script Word & Sentiment Die.  I colored the quokkas with my Spectrum Noir markers. I hand cute the snow mound and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Finally I added clear gems. All products are from the Kat Scrappiness store.
