A Happy Birthday Card - DICC #009

Hey everyone!

 The Desert Islands Crafters Challenge blogs' challenges have changed to one challenge per month and will be posted on the 20th of each month. This month's challenge will run until February 20th, 2017.

  Challenge #009 is sponsored by the awesome Kenny K Stamps! Check them out at their website (Kenny K Stamps). I used their stunning Happy Hour digi stamp and Social Media Sentiments digi stamps for my card.  I used numbers 4 (add sparkle), 6 (use a die/punch), and 7 (no patterned paper) from the itenerary.

   For number 4 (sparkle), I used white glitter cardstock for the card base. I used a small circle and star Fiskars hand hole punch for number 6 on a blue 4x6 Project Life card.  I also didn't use any patterned paper on my card (number 7).  The Happy Hour stamp was colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

  Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card! Please come play along with us at the DICC blog for the challenge this month!

  See you soon!

Happy October! - DICC#003

Hi Guys!

  For the first challenge of October at Desert Islands Crafters Challenge, I created a 6x6 scrapbook page. Sweet Escape is our wonderful sponsor for this challenge.

 

   I used the Witch and Cat digi stamp and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. I fussy cut out the stamp and adhered it to a 6x6 spider web paper. I then fussy cut out the bottles from another sheet of paper and adhered it onto the paper in front of the digi stamp to make it look like the witch was standing behind them. The Happy Halloween is a die cut sticker by K and Co., and the glitter spider is by Recollections.

  Here is the itenerary for the challenge (you only need to use 3 items in your projects!). I used numbers 2,3,4 and 8.

   Come visit us at DICC and check out all of the projects the Design Team created for this challenge and also please play along with us!

  Thanks for stopping by! Happy October!!!

Pizza?!?! Sch-weet!!!!

Happy Fri-yay!

  I created this quick card for a pizza lover I know using a pre-made card base that I cut down a little smaller.

  All the stamps used on this card are by Sweet Stamp Shop, and were inked using inks by Imagine Crafts. The pizza slice has a pop dot underneath to give it some dimension. I love the checkered triangle stamp, for some reason it just reminded me of a pizza parlor (or restaurant) so I thought it would be the perfect background for the pizza slice.

  Hope you all have a great weekend!

Say Churro!

Hey there!

Click pic for a better look!

  It's been so hot in Jersey this week that I'm actually longing for Fall. Ok I admit, I always long for the fall. However, I do enjoy summer too so I created this 4x6 Churro card for my pocket page scrapbook to keep the 'summer vibes' going.

  I cut the instant photo frame and backing of the frame with my Silhouette Cameo. I used VersaMagic inks for the sky/sun background, adhered the polaroid frame back and front together and then glued the stamped churros inside. Say Churro was stamped with Memento Ink and fussy cut out. The churros were colored with Spectrum Noir markers and there is Wink of Stella clear glitter on the actual churro part (not the wrapper). I adhered the frame to a 4x6 journaling card by Project Life with a Scotch ATG Gun and a little bit of washi tape. The hearts were stamped in the corners and colored with Spectrum Noirs as well.

  Are you ready for Fall? Or are you still all for Summer? Let me know in the comments below!

Refresh Yourself.

Hi there!

  I can't believe it is August already! This week my theme in my planner is Spa Week or as I like to call it, Refresh Yourself Week. I think everyone needs a week (if it's possible) where they can just slow the pace down, relax, de-stress and refresh. That is what I will be doing this week.

My Planner for the Week - Beach Please!

Hi Guys!

  I wish I was down the shore (or as some say at the beach) but unfortunately I'm not. So I used the new Beach Face stamp set by Sweet Stamp Shop on my planner this week.

Click this pic for a larger look.

   I love this washi/deco tape, it's one of my faves, but unfortunately I don't know what brand/company it is. I have it in a cool blue/green/yellow stripe version too. If you know who made it, please let me know! I'd love to get some more.

   It's official. Beach Face is one of my new favorite stamp sets. The images in this stamp set are so cute and the phrases are spunky. Doesn't that dog on a raft just crack you up?! Ok, maybe it's just me. Lol.

    I hope you are all having a great week! See you soon!

Tiny Shark Bites.

 

  These little shark picks are so super easy to make for a tiny shark bite-sized treat. And I will let you in on a little secret, the stamp set I used by Sweet Stamp Shop called "Between You and Me" is the reason why this project was so quick and easy. This set has the exact same shark design facing left and right! Super super awesome!  Ok, so I know you guys are so super smart and probably know exactly how to make these but I'll give you a brief run down of how I made them anyway. 

 
  First, I stamped out the left and right facing sharks on a piece of paper and colored them in. (I used Spectrum Noir markers because they were literally right next to me but you can use anything to color these in.) Then I fussy cut them out.

  Next I used a mini glue dot (ok - 2 mini glue dots and 1 of those was cut in half) to adhere the back sides of the sharks together with the top of the toothpick in the middle. All that's left to do is stick them in your mini dessert or appetizer of choice and serve up your bite-sized treats!

Happy Shark Week Dude! A 6x6 scrapbook page

Hey Guys!

  Here's a 6x6 scrapbook page I made for one of my albums. Shark week themed of course! I *love* this little speech bubble.

  It's an easy page to put together. The speech bubble is by Sandi Idleman and lettering is by Lettering Delights. I added the lettering into the bubble in Silhouette Studio and cut it out using the print and cut feature. The shark stamp is by Avery Elle and colored with Spectrum Noir markers. Both items were adhered to this fun paper by Echo Park. And I added a few black pearl bling to the sides.

  Thanks for stopping by! I'm so sorry I didn't post yesterday. It was a long day and I didn't get a decent daylight picture before the sun went down. I will be posting twice on Saturday!

  I hope you are all enjoying shark week!  See you tomorrow for a fun shaker card using this same caption bubble!

Hello Chum ATC

 

  Here's another ATC sized card I will be adding to my Shark Week pocket page (in addition to my shark score card you saw on Sunday).  On a 2.5 x 3.5 inch card made from Specialty Stamping Paper, I inked a layer of Salty Ocean Distress Ink and then added a thick coat of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Sea Glass and dried it with my embossing tool. On a second 2.5 x 3.5 inch card, I die cut a circle and inked the card with Distress Ink in Salty Ocean. After drying this card with my embossing tool as well, I adhered the cards together and stamped both fish and the worm on a hook with Ranger Archival Ink in Jet Black.  The shark stamp was colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and I added some sequins to glam it up a bit.

  I am linking this up to Simon Says Stamp's Tic Tac Toe Challenge since I have a line. (Sequins, Blue, Spray).

  Thanks for stopping by! See ya tomorrow!

My Planner Monday - Shark Week

Hi Guys!

 Here is my week before the ink, all ready for Shark Week!

  I used stamps by Sweet Stamp Shop, blue and white striped washi tape, inks by Imagine Crafts / Tsukineko, and Spectrum Noir markers to decorate my Happy Planner this week. I drew the seaweed and coral by hand using the Memento Dual Marker.

  Hope you all have a great week! See ya tomorrow for some more sharky goodness. =)

Shark Week is here!!!!

Happy Shark Week!

  This week I will be sharing shark themed cards and crafts on my blog so be sure to stop by!

  I created a score card for my boyfriend and I to fill in at the end of this week, so we can rate how we liked Shark Week this year. It's a small card, 2.5 x 3.5 inches (ATC sized) and I will be saving it in a pocket page for our album of random things.

  I cut the card out using my Silhouette Cameo, and cut out the shark bite with plain ol' scissors. The stamps are by Sweet Stamp Shop. Everything except for the shark and tv was stamped right onto the card. The shark and tv were stamped onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth cardstock and colored with their markers, fussy cut and adhered to the card.

Mmmmm Burgers...

  Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!

   I couldn't resist creating this cheeseburger card for a burger loving Dad I know. But seriously, who doesn't love a good burger?! Even if meat is not your thing, veggie burgers are pretty darn good too.

  The burger stamp is from Let's BBQ by Lawn Fawn. I just stamped it all over my paper and colored 'em with Spectrum Noir markers. The lettering is my own. I drew Dad by hand with a pencil and then used a black embossing pen by Ranger to outline the letters, heat set some black embossing powder on top of it and then colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers.

  I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Cameo Control Panel - Shark Week Is Coming!!!!

  Shark Week is coming! Do you watch it?! My boyfriend and I have been watching it for years and love it!

  Fun fact about me: Sharks are one of the reasons I am not a big fan of swimming in the ocean. Just the thought of one being near me and not being able to see it, eek!

  Anyway, I will be celebrating with a few shark themed projects from June 26 - July 2, right here on my blog!

  So to kick off the Shark Week countdown, here is my new Cameo control panel for the rest of June.

Will you be watching or crafting for Shark Week?

Cameo Control Panel for June - Sweet!

Hey guys!

  Happy June! I updated my Silhouette Cameo control panel for June using some sugary sweet stamps from the Donut Forget set by Sweet Stamp Shop. Will I be thinking about or craving donuts, ice cream, fro-yo and cookies next time I craft? We shall see...

  I decided to color these with my Spectrum Noir markers in a bold color palette instead of a light pastel palette. The fro-yo's and cherries were my favorite stamp to color for this project.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you are having a Sweet Day!

Root Beer Father's Day Card

  The Root Beer stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop's May Release is one of my new favorite stamps. Besides being cute, it is the perfect size stamp for cards and planners. One of the many ideas that came to me for this stamp set was a Father's Day card, a holiday which I'm sure will be here before we know it.

 
  What is one stamping technique you have always wanted to try but were afraid to?  For me, it was the mirror image stamping technique. It just seemed a little intimidating to me and I always wanted to try it out but never did. So I bit the bullet and tried. I feel that my mirror image stamp doesn't really do justice to the actual stamped image (I'm sure you can tell which one it is -- the left one) but I thought I would share it with all of you anyway as I keep practicing this technique. Maybe it will inspire one of you to try a new technique that you haven't tried before!
 
  I found a few YouTube videos with different ways to do this technique and after trying a few of them, I found one using the Misti stamping tool by Sharon Curtis (click here for the video). This method was the easiest one for me. After I mirrored the image, I darkened it using my Memento Dual Marker because it was much lighter than my regular stamped image. I then needed to touch up my regular stamped image with my marker also, as the mirror image was a little darker.

  The card bases, background, and stamped images were all cut out with my Silhouette Portrait. I used Spectrum Noir markers as my coloring medium for all of the stamped images. For the pretzels, I "salted" them with a Molotov paint pen and applied a coat of Glossy Accents. I also added a touch of "fizz" to the root beer bubbles with my Wink of Stella brush.

Hope you all have a Happy Tuesday! And let me know in the comments below what technique you will be trying next!

Under The Sea Bookmark

  The Sweet Stamp Shop Fan Club on Facebook has a Bookmark Challenge for the month of May. So exciting! Who doesn't love bookmarks?! I can still remember one of my favorite things about going to the library when I was in elementary school was getting to pick out a bookmark after you checked out your book for the week. The librarians would cut out the illustrations from old donated greeting cards and make them into bookmarks. My friends and I would always search for the cute animal ones first. So much fun!

  For this challenge, I created a bookmark with an under the sea theme. I like to read paperback books on the beach rather than an e-reader and I wanted to create just a fun summery bookmark that I could use.

  I started by cutting down a piece of Ranger Gloss Paper into a strip for a bookmark and inking it with Salty Ocean Distress Ink. After it dried I punched a hole in it so I could later attach ribbon, and then I stamped the anchor stamp all over the bookmark in Brilliance ink. After that was dry, I coated the whole bookmark with my Ranger Clear Resist Pad and then clear embossing powder and heated it to give it a watery look. Next I stamped out the mermaid, shells, seahorse, jellyfish and bubbles from the Mermaid Shelfie stamp set in Memento Ink on Spectrum Noir cardstock, colored them in with Spectrum Noir Markers and fussy cut them out. I applied them to my bookmark using my Xyron Create a Sticker. The shells and bubbles have a touch of a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter applied to them to give them a little bit of a shiny look.

  Here's a closer look so you can see the embossing on the bookmark. Sorry the pic is a little blurry!

  Thanks for stopping by my blog! My supply list is below. If you have any questions please leave me a comment or send me an e-mail.

Have a great Thursday!

Adventures Await Shaker Card

Hey There Adventurers!

  So, I may be late to the party, but I am obsessed with making shaker projects lately. It actually all started with this cute adventurer shaker card. (Disclosure: Some of my blog posts are scheduled in advance from when my projects were created.) 

  It went like this - you make one shaker, you get hooked! Kinda like you buy one stamp set and a day later you buy 100,000 more. (Something like that...) I feel like someone should have warned me or something...

  The arrowhead shaker was created from a Silhouette Studio file using the actual file and also using the inner offset function. The cute stamped bear and fox are from Sweet Stamp Shop. I kind of already had a similar color palette in mind (in my head it was a few shades darker) at first for this card, but once I found these sequins in my craft stash I changed my color scheme to match them.

   Since Adventures Await, you will need to Be Brave. So for the inside of the card I decided on the sentiment "Be Brave" and used a mixed alphabet stamp set to create it.

Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions, please leave me a comment or send me an email.

Have a great day!

My Planner Monday - Week of April 18th - 24th

Happy Monday!

    Or not, if you aren't a fan. I was never a big fan of Mondays since it signified the end of the weekend (which I obviously love). Now, having a fresh design for my planner does make my Monday happier, so I hope it does for the rest of you planner lovers out there too!

    Here's my planner for this week before I filled it in.

    For my color scheme inspiration this week, I used the same colors that I had used on a card that I created. The card features the same cute bear and fox from the Adventure Awaits stamp set, which you will see right here on my blog on Wednesday!

Have a great day!
