My first make is an Easel Card using Eden Blossoms from Polkadoodles

I used CS from American Crafts and DP I got from a Crafty Magazine, sorry, I can't recall which one. Added some Flower Dies from Lalaland Crafts April 2015 Club Kit.

I colored this pretty image with Chameleon Pens and White Gelly Roll Pen;  finished with Wink of Stella on the Flowers and Butterfly Bodies.

I added a couple of Cheery Lynn Designs Large Exotic Butterflies. Stamped  'Cherish the Moments' from So Suzy Stamps onto Vellum and embossed with Plum EP from Recollections. Added Liquid Pearls to the Butterfly bodies as well for added texture.

Inside sentiment  is 'Magical Birthday Wishes' from C.C. Designs.
Lastly, the border is Butterfly Border Punch from Martha Stewart Crafts.

My second make this week is a Christmas Tag using 'Winter Girl' from SLSLines. It's never too early to start on Christmas tags and cards, am I right? ;o)


I cut out the image with a Tag template I made and layered onto CS from American Crafts. Finshed with Some Ribbon and Snowflakes from my Stash and Martha Stewart Snowflake punch. 

Colored the image with SN Markers and added Wink of Stella to all the fur trim. (Just can't tell in the photograph) Sentiment is from Close to My Heart Stamps.


Here's the Back using "To & From" sentiments from Molly Bloom Designs and "Merry little Christmas" from Recollections.

So Suzy Stamps~ Elegance with Perfect Pearls

Good Morning my crafty friends! 

It's my turn to host over at So Suzy Stamps! today.

For today's make, I went with a CAS card using Dandelion & Dandelion Fluff set and

I started with a piece of Black cardstock. Use your Embossing Buddy over the entire cardstock to ensure your Versamark or Perfect Medium and Perfect Pearls stick only where you want it to. :o)

Add Versamark or Perfect Medium to your sentiment/image.  Then with a thin paintbrush, paint your image/sentiment with the Perfect Pearls, brush off any excess with a wider brush or even a Swiffer Cloth. 

Spray some water into the air using a Mister and wave the cardstock thru it. This will set the Perfect Pearls without soaking it. 

Embellish and decorate as desired and Voila! Very Pretty CAS card. :o)

So Susy Stamps~ Judy Garland Bokeh Style

Good Morning my crafty friends! 

I'm here with my first inspiration post for

So very excited to be on this fabulous DT with sucah an amazing group of gals!

So without further ado....

I used Judy Garland and did a Bokeh Effect Technique for the background. 
 I loved this technique with the amazing stand alone sentiments that Suzy has in her store. I started with 5'x5' Watercolor paper. Inked with  Tim Holtz Distress Inks in "Abandoned Coral" and "Broken China". 

Then I used a template I made from Acetate using circle dies from Lifestyle Crafts in various sized circles. 
Using White Craft Ink, I dabbed in the templates, overlapping some circles and making more circles more defined or "Whiter" to give the illusion they were in the forefront. 

Allow to dry or dry using your heat tool.I finished with Stamping my Sentiment in Teal Dye ink and layered it onto Coral cardstock 1/8' bigger and layered onto my 5.5'x5.5' basecard. Finished with some bling, because really, what's a little bling hurt? hehehehe

I hope I've inspired you "to Get Crafty" today.
