Kennedy Grace Creations: Hugs to You!

Hello again, my friends!  I'm back with another fun card using sequins from the Kennedy Grace Creations store!  I had lots of fun with this one.  I know it's not really close to Valentine's Day or anything, but I really wanted to make a small CAS love themed card with the *NEW* Watermelon Spritzer mix, so I did!  Take a peek...

I punched a heart shape out of the white focal panel, then stamped a sentiment and laid the panel aside.  I took a piece of red cardstock and glued sequins to it, then layered the white piece on top using dimensional foam.  A glittery chipboard arrow, a large sequin from the Watermelon Spritzer mix, and a glittery red heart were added for a bit more texture and glam. 

I REALLY love the way this fun little card turned out!  I want to experiment with all kinds of shapes now--I think flowers and butterflies are next on the agenda! ;)  What do you think?  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope that you take some time today to craft and create!  If you're looking for some GORGEOUS sequins, the place to start is the Kennedy Grace Creations store, so hop over and see what they have in stock today!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

The Stamps of Life: French Fry Explosion Box

Hey, all!  I'm sure you've seen here on my blog a few times...but I can't get over the *NEW* dies and stamps from The Stamps of Life this month!!!  Take a peek at a fun box card I made with some of these products...

I used the Exclusive Box Card Dies, Salt Shaker Club Dies, and Have a Super Sized Day Die Set for this fun creation.  I also used the *NEW* frenchfries2stamp set and some fun patterned papers.

On the sides, I added the "hello" die from the Exclusive Box Card Die Set for a bit of whimsy.  I think it looks super fun against the blue and white chevron paper from the Celebrate paper pad.

I really LOVE the way this box card turned out, and I hope you agree!  So, what do you think?!  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you take some time to craft and create today.  Go grab these fun products from The Stamps of Life, too!  They are so fun to work with!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping! :)

Great Impressions: Spring Scene

Hi, friends!  I am back today to share a new card using stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  My card today features a fun stamp that needs no sentiment, but it could go either way.  I chose to go with NO sentiment!  Take a peek...

This image is H267 Potted Flowers.  I stamped it and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers.  I then added some glitter, glossy accents, rhinestones, and a bit of faux stitching for more texture.

I then matted the focal panel with black cardstock.  After doing that, I added the panel to a kraft card base that was prepped with some fun polka dot paper.  I LOVE the way this turned out, and I hope you do, too!  I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

That's all for me today, friends.  THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

MHKDesigns: March 2016 Chalenge

Hello, everyone!  I am back today with another card for our new challenge over at MHKDesigns!  We have a fun and seasonal photo/color inspiration for you this month, and I can't wait to see what you create with it!  Take a peek at the inspiration...

You can be inspired by the photo, the color, OR if you useMHKDesigns products, you can link up ANYTHING you want!  I was inspired by the colors and image this time around, and I really hope you like what I made!  Take a peek at my creation...

I used a sweet image from the Bunny Love set.  I colored parts with white Glaze gel pen, then colored over them and other areas with glitter gel pens.  I punched out the image with a circle punch and framed it with a scallop circle.

This sentiment is also from the Bunny Love set.  I printed it onto vellum, then layered it under the punched image and attached it with staples.

The card base was gussied up with some paper from the Egg-cellent Easter paper pack, then faux stitched with a glitter gel pen from Sakura.  The last thing that was added was some die cut leaves and pink flowers to add some elegance.  I think this card is PERFECT for our challenge, don't you?  I would LOVE to hear what you think of my card in the comments below! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today, friends!  I hope you hop over to join in our monthly challenge at MHKDesigns!  There are prizes for each one, and you can use any products you'd like! :) Don't forget to leave some love with the other gals on this wonderful DT, too!

French Fry Box Gift Card Holder

Hey, all! I'm back with another fun paper creation using *NEW* products from The Stamps of Life? Today I want to share a gift card holder with a fun twist!  Take a peek...

I used the *NEW* frenchfries2stamp set, the French Fry Box Die, and the Have a Super Sized Day Die Set to create this fun gift card holder.  I used colors reminiscent of fast food restaurants to go with the french fry theme. ;)

To jazz my gift card holder up a bit, I added some kiwi seam binding ribbon and a fun chevron button to the side.  I really like the way they accent the sentiment!

A gift card is all that is needed before this can be given away!  I think it turned out really cute!  I hope you do, too!  Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for popping by today, friends!  I hope you take some time to join in the fun with these fabulous challenges!  Go grab these fun products from The Stamps of Life, too!  They are so fun to work with!  Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping! :)
