April Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #120 - Male Call

Image
Hi everyone. It's April 1st and that means the start of a new LTSCB #120 Male Call. I am so excited to participate for this month because we are creating masculine cards with stamps from Bugaboo Digi Stamps .  I don't have many masculine cards. I hear these types are cards are harder to create and I can see why. Most of my stamps are floral or frilly, LOL.  ------>> CLICK HERE   to join the challenge <<--------- YOU COULD WIN DIGI STAMPS!!! Look at this adorable little guy!!  Let's get into how I made this card.  I colored him with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers on some Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock.  This is the best card stock to use with Zig Markers. Because they are water based brush markers they blend very easily. I tried to do a fade out in the letters for DAD.  The patterned paper is from Scrapping for Less. I love the metal arrow for embellishment. My second card I used Zig Markers again. This is...

Fly Me Away - SSS June 2018 card kit

Hi Everyone! Today's post is about the June 2018 card kit from Simon Says Stamp - Fly Me Away.  Again, they have knocked it out of the park with this kit! This kit sold out FAST!! There were so many goodies in this kit and they are all sold separately so you can pick and choose what you'd like.  Personally, I absolutely love the huge 6x8 stamp set  Beautiful Flowers  and the ModaScrap Fly and Scrap 6x6 paper pack .  The images and watercolors used for the paper pack are AH-MAZ-ING !  Just look at my first card below. With the paper pack all you need to do is use one of the gorgeous papers, cut to size, and wah-la, you have one beautiful background already created to add a sentiment too. Seriously though, how amazing are those flowers!!!  The card base is Fog card stock . I used White Blizzard  Nuvo Glitter drops to finish the card. This huge flower pattern is a STAMP!!  There are so many things you can do with this stamp a...

May - Kind Heart card kit from Simon Says Stamp

Image
Hi there.  Hope everyone is having a great week.  It's Friday and the weekend is finally here! I thought it would never come. Today's post is about the beautiful May card kit from Simon Says Stamp called Kind Heart.  It is full of so many amazing goodies.  There are two stamp sets.  The Everything Together stamp set is 6x8 with gorgeous lettering. The picture above shows an A2 sized card and how the largest stamp fills up the card.  It's truly stunning! I used emboss resist technique on the card front.  I added VersaMark ink and then embossed using a glitter embossing powder to give it a sparkly effect.  After that, I used Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink  to cover most of the card front and then wiped away the ink to reveal the prettiness. I love using this technique when I want a solid background for bold lettering stamps. I used one of the sheets from the Pinkfresh studio paper pack that was included in the kit and cut ...

April Beginnings

Good afternoon. I hope you're having a great week so far. I received the new  Simon Says Stamp  April 2018 card kit Beautiful Day.  This kit is AH-maz-ing!!!  So much is packed into it.  The large 6x8 stamp set has such beautiful butterflies and hand lettering (you can find it here Beautiful Day Stamp Set ). And, the 6x6 stencil is just as perfect (find it here Simon Says Stamp Stencil Butterflies )! Also, who can resist 2 of the new full size Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks included with the kit. Unfortunately, the kit is sold out.  But you can purchase everything in the set separately if you wanted to pick and choose what you want.  The stamp set is on reserve until April 19th. I had so much fun making these two cards with the kit.  The Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow paper pad is so colorful and fun (find the paper pad here Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow ).  They really pop when added to any color card base. For the first card I used ...
