Hello Note Card

Happy Monday my crafty friends!!  I hope you had a fabulous Easter!!

So during this time of quarantine I have found myself wanting to be better at sending out cards.  I feel like having certain themed cards on hand is helpful i.e. birthday, get well, etc... but I also feel like having some general cards you can send out to just say "hi" to family and friends is good to have on hand too.  That is what inspired my project for today -

I used lots of Jaded Blossom products on my card today -

Stitched Oval Dies

Card Mat Dies

Grass Stencil

Cloud Stencil

Word Dies

Funny Mail 2 (revamp)

I created a mat with the Stitched Oval Dies and used it to do my stenciling.  I used some distress inks for my stenciling - mowed lawn, bundled sage and tumbled glass - along with the Grass Stencil and Cloud Stencil. I had stamped and masked the bird from Funny Mail 2 before I did the background inking.  I used the Card Mat Dies to cut out my panel and then glued it onto an A2 card base. Lastly I cut out the word "hello" in black cardstock using the Word Dies.  

Don't forget we have the mini challenge going on right now!  And....my card fits easily into the challenge ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Stamp Anniething April Release - Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of the Stamp Anniething April Release!!

This release features 3 new stamps along with coordinating outline dies, 1 new stencil, a word die and a die set.

Today we are featuring the new "William - Thanks for all your hard work".

Here is my card for today -

I designed my card with my husband in mind ;) 

He is my "Mr. Fix -it"!  and he has a birthday coming up next month. 

 I used the "Shaker Basics Set 1" to cut out my designer papers.  The enamel dots are leftover from the "Wizards Grab and Go Box" - I've used these a lot as I love the masculine colors!

That's it for the April Release!!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Stamp Anniething April Release Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Stamp Anniething April Release!!

This release features 3 new stamps along with coordinating outline dies, 1 new stencil, a word die and a die set.

Today we are doing sneak peeks for "Harriette - Think You're Knit" stamp set and outline die.
Here is what I created for today -

I used lots of goodies from this release on my card today.   First I stamped and colored in the image with my Copic markers and then cut her out using the coordinating outline die.  I created my background using the NEW Stamp Anniething "Cable Knit" stencil and "Pecan Hybrid Ink" using a "Blending Brush".  I then used the NEW "Corner Edger Dies".  I also cut out the word sending with the new "Sending Word Die" in two different colors of purple cardstock and offset them to help the word stand out from my background. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using the "Banner Dies".  To finish off my card I cut out a few hearts using the "Heart Reverse Die" and some coordinating colors of cardstock.

I hope you will come back tomorrow for the last day of this release.
Have a fabulous day!!

Hello my crafty friends!!  Today is my turn to post over on the
Stamp Anniething Blog with a card to share - 

I pulled out the Stamp Anniething "Magical Celerations" Grab and Go Box for my image and sentiment.  The sentiment is actually from two different sentiments and I put them together for this card.  The designer paper is also from the same box of goodies.  I also used the "Squiggle Wiggle" stencil for my background along with some squeezed lemonade distress oxide ink.  I finished off my cards with some clear sequins from my stash.  

Copic markers used - 

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00, R21

Cup - YR23, Y17, Y15, Y11, R29, R24, R22

I did go in with a few brown prismacolor pencils to add in some extra texture to her hair.
