LBBS~ Donut Worry...

Good morning crafty friends, today I'm super excited to share with you my make for 

Here's a lil' tag using Donuts Digital Stamps which is one of the two  new releases this month.You get 2 DELICIOUS Donuts in this little set!

Here is my card:

As soon as I saw this yummy donut, I knew I wanted to make it into a shaped card.

 I printed one copy onto Kraft Paper and one copy onto Neenah Smooth Solar White Cardstock. Before cutting out the one on Kraft paper, I lined up another Kraft sheet and cut out the image. This gave me the backing to the Donut card. I then scored the backing about a 1/2' from the top and used scor-tape to adhere to my card front. 

I colored the Donut Topping on the White CS and fussy cut out, I also added some shading to my donut on the Kraft paper using Spectrum Noir Markers. I edged all the edges with FC Black Pitt Pen and then embossed with Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE) to give it a GLAZED look. I stamped my sentiment from the Two Paper Divas "Just Donuts" Stamp set (retired) onto Pink CS and adhered across my donut.

There we have it...a fun and delicious shaped card! Be sure to check out the other beautiful creations from the DT and leave them some love!

I sure hope I've inspired you to get crafty today!

Two Paper Divas~ Sending Warm Thoughts

Happy Saturday everyone, I'm back to share with you my final make for  Two Paper Divas  using a sentiment from the "One Cup At A Time" stamp set. 

I lurve coffee....so I love this stamp set as the sentiments are perfect...and I thought this one could be used for Christmas as well...just add "This Christmas" sentiment inside. :o)

I got the idea for this card from Kristina Werner's post here. She used Watercolor paints and I used Distress Inks and changed up the snowflakes.  She has amazing videos so be sure to check her out and leave her some love!

I started with a 4' x 5.25' piece of watercolor cardstock and blended Distress Inks (Seedless Preserves, Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry) with a blending tool. I then embossed with We R Memory Keepers GEOMETRIC embossing folder. I then embossed a Spellbinders Snowflake Diecut with "Stardust" Embossing powder. I added the sentiment that I embossed onto vellum in white EP and die cut. I finished with a little coffee mug die cut from my stash that I stamped a lil' snowflake on it.  

It's been an honor and a pleasure designing for Gayla and Melissa from Two Paper Divas this year. These ladies are truly beautiful inside and out and I wish them all the best in their retirement. xx

Two Paper Divas~ Be the Reason Art Journal Page

Happy Saturday everyone, I'm back to share with you a fun and vibrant journal page I made for Two Paper Divas  using the Be the Reason stamp set. 

I've used this sentiment a lot in cards and tags, but I loved it for this fun journal page. It's one of my favorites and so versatile. :o)

I started with a page in my Strathmore 5.5x8' Journal  and used Cherry Pie and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions paints for the background. Blending is easy if you dry with your heat gun in between colors and just layer them until your happy with it. ;o) I then added some contrast and texture by adding black acrylic paint thru the TCW Mini Cubist Stencil and a white pigment ink thru the Memory Box Starry Nights stencil. 

I splattered some Yellow and Black acrylic paint diluted with water and a fan brush and added Washi Tape and Heidi Swapp chipboard stars. 

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Jet Black Archival Ink and then went over it with a  Black micron pen. 

There we have it, a fun, vibrant journal page with one of my favorite inspirational sentiments. :o)

Two Paper Divas~ Sew Much Fun Tag

Happy Sunday everyone, I'm back to share with you a lil' Tag I made for Two Paper Divas  using the Sew Much Fun stamp set. 

Ok, how CUTE is this set???? ADORBS!!

I started with a #8 Tag that I covered with Prima DP and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I added some lace trim and distressed ribbon that looked like measuring tape. I stamped the adorable images onto water color paper and colored with Distress Markers and Waterbrush pen. I fussy cut them out and adhered them to the tag. 

 I had a dressform diecut and distressed it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and Liquid Pearls. I added some Prima DP for the top and trim for the skirt and finished with a Basic Grey resin flower. I stamped the sentiment out onto the same text Prima DP I used on the top with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and cut them out seperately and inked the edges with the same ink.

I finished this vintage inspired tag with some crinkle ribbon I dyed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays in Honeysuckle Coral and Steampunk Sepia sprays and added a button and pearl.

Two Paper Divas~ CAS Purple Simplicity

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you a lil' Card I made for Two Paper Divas

using the new ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS set from October's New Releases. I just LOVE this sentiment and know I'll be using it quite a bit because It's all about the little things right? ;o)

I went with different shades of Purple (Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves) Distress Inks in order to participate in the THE HOP TO STOP 2016. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this hop is designed to raise awareness about domestic violence, an issue that impacts 1 in 3 women, and the resources that are available to assist victims of domestic violence. So come play along and just remember to use Purple somewhere on your make. :o)

I used the shaded Lilac and Dusty Concord for my background and then went over a Dylusions Circles stencil with Seedless Preserves in random areas. A little purple washi tape was used to help position the focal point.  

I stamped the ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS

sentiment in StazOn Gothic Purple on a circle die cut and matted it onto black and adhered it using foam tape for added dimension. A little Spellbinders Feather Die cut with purple twine finished it all off. I matted it all onto black CS and then a 4.25' x 5.5' purple base card.

Two Paper Divas~ Enjoy the Little Things

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you a lil' Card I made for Two Paper Divas! My apologies for my absence last week, but I'm still fending off this viral infection and as it's now week 4, it's clearly winning! Lol!

But here's my top-folding card using the new FERN and ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS sets from October's New Releases. I fell in LURVE with this set as soon as I saw it as I knew it could be used for many occasions and using different techniques.



I created a sunset using Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin, Candied Apple and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks. A torn piece of paper created my "hillside" which I then colored in with a black Sharpie pen. I then stamped the FERN images using Black StazOn and my MISTI. I finished by coloring in the butterflies with a black Sharpie for a silhouette look and then stamped a portion of the Enjoy the Little Things Sentiment, also in Black StazOn Ink.

and of course here's the inside:

Two Paper Divas~ Just BE...

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you a lil' CAS Card I made for Two Paper Divas!

using the newly released BE. I love this words in this stamp set. Just empowering!

I kept my top folding card pretty CAS as I wanted the words to be the focal point. So I had them floating around in bubbles (Clarity Stamps Bubble stencils with Candied Apple Distress Ink) with the word "Be" in black. I love the contrast. 

I placed the words in the bubbles using my MISTI and stamped with Blazin' Red StazOn ink.  You'll notice I don't have any words in the below bubbles as I thought the uplifting words should be above...like what we strive to be...not below. Well it made sense in my head when I created it. ;o) lol!

Two Paper Divas~ Mmmmm Donuts!

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you a shaker card for Two Paper Divas!

using the newly released Just Donuts. How cute and delicious is this set?? I couldn't help but make it a shaker card so my donuts had sprinkles...cause what is a donut without sprinkles??? ;o)

 I started by stamping the dounts with Black Archival Ink and coloring them with Spectrum Noir Markers. I then stamped the Sentiment in Pink Passion Stampin' Up! Ink and then cut out the donut tops and layered that onto some acetate. I added some fun foam to the backing and added my "chocolate sprinkles"- brown assorted beads from Recollections- and layered that onto brown shimmer cardstock so it's a delicious chocolate donut! ;o) Mounted that onto a pink striped card base and finished with some pink and chocolate brown Liquid Pearls and voila...delicious CAS goodness!

 note to self: it's really DIFFICULT to take pictures that have acetate...get a reflection no matter what angle! DOH! hehehe.

and here's the inside I did using different sentiment & donut from the Just Donuts set with. Some glossy accents on the donut finished it off for a nice glossy finish!
