Have A Sweet Birthday

It's my day on the Where Creativity Meets C9 blog. Here's a peek at the card I'm sharing filled with glitter + cake + watercolors...hope you'll stop by for a visit!

 

You're Too Kind

Happy Wednesday to you! I completely forgot to share this here on my blog, but here's a little peek of a card I posted on the Honey Bee Stamps blog yesterday. I used a *new to me* technique and am so happy with how it turned out.

You Are Absolutely Wonderful

Happy new week! Popping by today to share a card I created for the Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge.

 

I used one of my favorite flower sets to create my card, Bold Blooms, along with the sentiment set, Totally Awesome. I started by using the 3 dots in Bold Blooms to create the polka dot background on my card-base. Next, on a piece of white card-stock, I stamped my sentiment and colored the 'WONDERFUL' in with a Copic marker. I added a strip of glitter along the side, as well as a bit of white twine. Then came the flowers. I die cut and stamped both the flowers and the leaves and then arranged them on my card before adhering them. And last but not least, the buttons were added to each flower.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed and hope you have a fabulous Monday!

Happy Birthday Lovely

I'm up on the Honey Bee Stamps blog today with this colorful birthday card using Not Too Shabby and Happy Everything. I hope you'll pop in for a visit!

Where Creativity Meets C9 - Challenge #2 - Watercolor

Hello, crafty friends and happy Sunday to you! Are you ready for the next Where Creativity Meets C9 challenge? This next one is all about 'Watercolors'...something I think we all enjoy using on our projects, from time to time. I know I do!

For today, I focused on creating a pretty and colorful background for a few of my favorite Concord & 9th images to sit on. What I love about water coloring is that your really can't mess it up...you just have fun with it. And isn't that what paper-crafting is all about! ;) 

After I created my background, I set it aside to let it dry and moved onto my stamping and die-cutting. I used a mix of the Beautiful You dies , Floral & Flutter dies, and the You're My Person stamp set on my card. I'll give you a step by step of what I did...

1. I stamped the sentiment (from You're My Person) in black ink and then cut it into separate strips.

2. I die cut 3 white flowers and 1 flower (from Floral & Flutter) in each of these colors....orange, pink and yellow.

3. I filled in each of the white flowers with 5 petals from the colored flowers.

4. I die cut 'beautiful' (from Beautiful You) 3 times out of white card-stock and layered them to give my sentiment more dimension. 

5. Last, I assembled my card!

I hope you'll join us in the 'Watercolor' challenge!
