You’re So Sweet

Hello friends, The temps are already extremely warm here in the sunshine state, so I am back with something to cool me down. I am using this fantastic Ice Cream Sundae set by Pixi Dust Designs. I had not used all the dies on my previous cards using this set so today’s card shows the pretty dish that comes in this set, it also comes with a short one as well.

They also have this darling Ice Cream Die set on sale this week. I have it pictured below.

Card Details: I found this pretty polka-dotted paper from Pink and Main and thought it would work well with my design. I also used some clear Nuvo drops to make my cherry shine. The strip embossing folder with the hearts is from Stampin Up. The rectangle stitched scalloped die is from MFT. The sentiment is also from MFT from the set Sweet Celebrations. I cut it out three times to give it some depth.

Do you like Sprinkles on your ice cream? I sure do! Or do you prefer it dipped in Chocolate? Oh, and I am certainly Team Cherries too!

You Are Such a Tweet Heart

Hello friends, I am back with another card using the May-Small Die of the Month from Spellbinders called Tropical Friends. As these releases come down the pike, I tend to fall head over heels for the SDOM, and it happened once again. How could you not? Just look at that face! I enjoy the foliage and flowers that come in this set too.

HERE is the page where you can get a peek at all of the clubs along with some amazing samples. The Club kits will be available for purchase by subscription starting on the 6th of the month and running through the 27th. However, quantities are limited so if you are interested don’t delay.

I knew I wanted to make a different colored parrot, so I googled it and this is where my inspiration came from. He is called a Golden Conure.

Card Details: The free-formed background is something I drew and cut out of a piece of acetate and I have used it many, many times. The stencil is from Miss Ink Stamps and is called Leafy Green. I used SSS inks to lightly blend my background. The sentiment is from MFT-A Tweet Hello and the banner die I stamped it on is from Pink and Main. I inked up nearly all the die cuts to give them a bit of dimension. This time I got a bit carried away with my splatters. 😏 Last time, it was not enough; this time, it was too many. I also have used some Foam Squares for dimension.

I am linking up over at the Stencil Fun Challenge today.

I Think You are Pretty Great

Hello, Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a good weekend. Today I am sharing the Embossing Folder of the Month from Spellbinders May Club, called Lattice Work and this gorgeous New Better Press Plate set called-New Beginnings Timeless Sentiments. The fonts on the plates are just so gorgeous and it foiled like butter! I pulled out one of my favorite dies-Strawberry Patch as I had never used the basket before. I enjoyed seeing this card come together.

A Few Card Details: The green piece of paper in the background is a piece of DSP that after it was run through the EF I added a bit of distressing to it. The white piece along the base of card is also Embossed with the same folder. I used a piece of vellum to back my strawberry basket. The strawberries, stems, and leaves were all sponged with various inks. The stems of the strawberries were cut out of polka-dotted DSP and then sponged a bit darker. The strawberries themselves were backed with black paper. As you can see, I foiled my sentiment in gold. A few paper gold gems to finish it off.

HERE is the page where you can get a peek at all of the clubs along with some amazing samples. The Club kits will be available for purchase by subscription starting today the 6th and run through the 27th. However, quantities are limited so if you are interested don’t delay.

A Treat For You

Hello, I am excited to be back today with another card using the fabulous Pixi Dust Designs products. This time, I have a shaker card, which is not something I do very often. This is my first time using this Tag C-Die Set, and I have turned it into a popsicle. Of course, I am sure you figured out that it’s Cherry-flavored. 😆 The cherries are part of the Ice Cream Sundae set.

Instead of using foam tape on my shaker, I prefer to do a large amount of die cutting to build my gap between the base of the object and the acetate window. I love how clean it looks around the edges and that you can’t see the tape. I think this one actually has eleven layers and you can kind of see how thick it is in the photos. I just used a rounded cornered sentiment die for my posicle stick, it worked perfectly.

Because the popsicle is sticking over the end of the card base I shortened the card base down about 1/2 of an inch so that it would still fit in an A2 size envelope. I did that on another card this week for Seize the Birthday’s Topping of- Off the Edge, and loved it.

The sentiment is an oldie from MFT and is in the set-Every Flavor of Happy. The DSP is scraps but I know the teal piece is SU, and the decorative border on the card is made with my Fiskers cutter. I used clear Nuvo drops on my cherries to make them shine. The tied sheer ribbon I put on the top was an afterthought and not sure I like it. 🤔

I am linking up with Darnell over at NBUS as it is the first I have used this fun tag.

Have a PHONEomenal Day

Hello, It is the First of the Month and time for the next Hues of Colors at Color Hues. Julie B has a pretty color combo for us that I really enjoyed. We also have a new guest joining us! Welcome Sue, happy to have you designing with us. One of my favorite parts of running a Card Challenge is to see the cards as they come in before we go live. It is so enjoyable to see the different directions everyone takes with their cards and how different they all are. I certainly have a talented bunch!

This darling set is owned by a friend. I cut everything out in white as I didn’t know when I would use it. So when I saw this color combo coming up I thought it would be perfect, all I had to do was add the color. I have everything that I used on this card listed below.

  • Vintage Phone-Sugar Pea Designs
  • Call Me Sentiment-Sugar Pea Designs
  • Notched Corner Frames-Spellbinders
  • Large Dot EF-Stampin Up
  • Hearts- MFT
  • Long Oval die is most likely Sizzix or a very old Spellbinders
  • Oxide Inks-Twisted Citron/Wilted Violet
  • Foam Squares
  • Glitter paper gems

Please stop by Color Hues and check out the cards by my talented team and then play along! We would love to have you! Nanc’

Life is Better with Friends

Hello Friends, I hope you are having a good day! I am back with a CAS card using that darling set again by Pixi Dust Designs, It is called Keep Swimming. I was in the midst of putting things away in my studio when this set called to me and said, “One more card.” How could I resist those faces?

A Few Card Details: First, I made my own wave stencil out of scrap paper (even though I have a few water stencils, I just wanted something a bit more subtle) and inked up the bottom of the card with three colors of Oxide Inks; Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, and Antique Linen. Next, I cut out all the cute little images in various colors of paper and sometimes even white and inked those up too. I took a Copic marker to my rocks. Before I adhered everything down, I decided to spatter the background with water and some white paint. I was afraid to do too much and might have gone to light. 😏 I used some Foam Squares for some dimension and the sentiment is an oldie from MFT. I also took some paint to the critters to give them some personality.

Know that you are in our prayers

Hello, I am back with a simple and quick Sympathy card using the Stampendous set released by Spellbinders this month. The set is called Sincere Sentiments.

The paper in the background is called One of a Kind 12 x 12 from Paper Studio. I used the Nestled Hemstitch Rectangles again and backed it with black paper. I took a tan Prisma Colored pencil and lightly colored the leaves. The tiny flower is from Four Petal Bloom and the leaves are from Envelope of Wonder Etched Dies. A few gold paper gems to finish it off. This card came together in just a few minutes; sometimes that is a good thing when you need these types of cards in a hurry.

You’re the Best

Hello, I hope you are having a good day. I am finally starting to feel a bit like myself after being under the weather since Saturday evening. I finally found a wee bit of energy to make a CAS card.

Have you seen the newest Better Press plate called-Cheers to You Sentiments, released this month? It comes with 7 different phrases. What I love most about it is, that you can press all the sentiments at once and then cut them all at once too. There is nothing better than having sentiments on hand for your next card.

I decided to pull out the set Sitting Pretty once again as that tiny bird is just so cute. Next, I found some pretty paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby eons ago and had yet to use. The DSP has a lot of cream in it, so I decided to use that same color for my flowers and base. The Nestled Hemstitch Rectangles that I used on the mauve background elevate any card, and I really like them. The Gold Glitter Cardstock is also from Spellbinders.

This card came together very quickly and was initially inspired by The Paper Players CAS Spring Flowers Challenge.

Just Keep Swimming

Hello friends, I have jumped into Summer today ( since our temps are already there) with this darling Pixi Dust Designs die set called Just Keep Swimming. It is absolutely the cutest and was originally designed as a Slimline set but I changed it up a bit to an A2 size. All I had to do was make a stencil out of the background, and only use two of the three free-form holes. I have the set pictured below so you can see what I mean. The possibilities are endless on what you can do with this darling set.

This set is on sale through Tomorrow, so if you are interested, don’t delay! It is jam-packed with so many dies!

I just love the little sea creatures. Which one is your favorite? I think mine is the octopi or perhaps the seahorse. 🤔

A Few Card Details: I made my own stencil with a piece of Acetate as I knew I wanted to make an A2 size card rather than a slimline. Next, I taped off the part of the die that I would not be using and then used Salty Ocean Oxide Inks for my background. Next, I splattered it with water to get the bubbles/water effect. After I die-cut the rest of the elements for this card, I used various other inks from either SSS or Oxides to add some dimension. All that was left to do was to assemble. A few sequins finished it off.

I am playing along with the Doube D Challenge as their theme is-Water Related.

Those We Love…

Hello friends, I am back with a Sympathy card today using a fantastic new set by Stampendous and Spellbinders released this month. The set is called Sincere Sentiments. If this set looks a bit familiar keep reading. Also if you are looking for a set for these types of cards, look no further. I really like it and I have it pictured for you below.

I have this set on a larger scale and use it all the time. What I think is so interesting is that the stamp set I own is all one piece, and I wish it wasn’t for years. Below is a card using the older version to see what I mean. This sentiment is such a classic and perfect for a sympathy card! I love that I now have the set on a smaller scale with multiple pieces including different sentiments.

A Few Details: I used a mix of foliage from Spellbinders for accent and have everything listed below. The background is a piece of DSP that has a nice grunge look to it. After I stamped the background, I cut an oval out to place the sentiment in the center. All the foliage was sponged with various inks including the mushrooms. Foam Squares for dimension and a few paper glitter gems to finish it off.
