Adorable Smiling Butterfly

Hi all! I have a cheery card to share with you all today. This smiling butterfly is just too cute, she's a digi image from Pickled Potpourri Designs' Cutie Pies stamp set. 

I colored this image using Spectrum Noir markers. I'm slowly adding them to my alcohol marker collection. I usually wait until they go on sale for $7.88 at ACMoore and will pick up a pack or two. I didn't think I'd like them, but I really like the newer designed markers! They color and blend pretty well without bleeding, which was a common complaint about these markers when they first became popular among card makers a few years ago.

I matted the image and adhered it to the card front using foam tape. I then stamped the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock using pink dye ink and tucked it behind the image. I used some white embroidery floss and a button to embellish the card.

 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges

4 Crafty Chicks: Something Old/Something New. The image, pink patterned paper, & markers are my new items. The green patterned paper mat is my old item.

Red Rubber Inspirational #134

 

I have a quick one layered card to share with you today. I pulled out a couple of stencils, some inks, and a moth image from Red Rubber Designs' Moths stamp set to create a card for the latest Red Rubber Inspirational, you can check out the details for this challenge here -----> "Just Wing It"

 

 

I stamped the moths using distress ink... which turned out pretty good! I usually don't have much luck using distress ink for my stamped images but I'm happy with how nicely the moths stamped. I used a newer ink pad so maybe that made a difference. 

 

 

I then used some gray ink and sponged it through my stencil to give the background some texture and interest. I spritzed some purple ink over the card front, and stamped the sentiment using black ink. I finished the card by adding a few mini rhinestones. 

 Thanks so much for looking!

A Mini Album Sneak Peek

My little sister will be welcoming a baby boy into this world in just a few weeks. She's not a scrapbooker, but takes tons of photos so I thought I'd make her a little chipboard album that she can fill of her new little guy and his big sister. 

I haven't sent it to her yet so I'm just sharing a sneak peek of the cover today but I'll be sure to share some of the inside pages after she receives it.

That adorable little lion is from Pickled Potpourri Designs' Wild Animals stamp set. I colored him using Copic Markers, added some distress ink around him, and adhered some stitched Thickers underneath the lion. I also adhered a wood veneer heart to the lion's chest. I added some red glitter Stickles to the heart, and adhered a few strips of light blue cardstock to frame the image and title.

Thanks so much for looking!

Happiness Always

Hi all! Hope you all are doing well. I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog in awhile. I haven't been feeling well and between dr.'s appointments and preparing for the start of a new school year things have just been busy! 

I did created a few projects over the last couple of weeks though. I created several wedding cards. This is one of my favorites

I used my Silhouette to cut the trefoil patterned background from American Crafts silver glitter paper. I ran it through my Xyron sticker maker to make it easy to adhere to the card front, it worked perfectly! 

I pulled some Prima Flowers from my stash, applied glitter enamel dots to the center of each, and adhered them to the card base using foam tape. The sentiment is from an old Stampin' Up Sale-a-Bration stamp set, I stamped it using black ink onto a tag. After threading some lace ribbon through both sides of the tag I adhered it to the card using foam tape. 

Thanks for looking!
