Irish you a....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!

I hope you all had a Fabulous Weekend!

I spent my weekend crafting - Which was

really nice and I got to chat with a wonderful 

Crafty Friend over the Phone! 🙋

As most of you know JADED BLOSSOM

brought back their Monthly Challenges -

One of my goals this year is to try and

participate in every monthly challenge they have!

In the past, I hadn't and I honestly forget

that there are challenges out there in blog land

I think we all get too caught up in life and

forget the little things that are fun for us -

Sooo, this months challenge is 

St. Patrick's Day Treat

I did struggle a little bit on this one

since I don't normally give out St. Patrick's 

Day Treats - But this is what I made to play along --

I made a pillow treat box with tag

-- Jaded Blossom Products Used --

Go Green Stamp Set

Unicorns & Glitter Stamp Set

Treat Tag Die Set

Card Layer Dies 2

I thought it would be fun to put the Unicorn with

that adorable sentiment since Unicorns

are Magical! Am I Right??? LOL

Anyway, the pillow Box die I have is a Sizzix one

and I just cut 2 pieces out and adhered them together

to create the pillow box - The Designer Paper is from Doodlebug

My Unicorn is colored with some Spectrum Noir Markers

on some Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock

That I Die cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut Machine

I added some Crinkled Yellow ribbon to the Tag and 

tied a Jute Twine bow around it --

I adhered my tag to the front of my pillow

box and now I need to fill it with some candy!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

And I didn't want to waste a really nice blended background

So I took my tag and scanned it into my computer so I could 

create a Border Tag shape -

and cut out that thin Black border Frame you see here --

SumMore Fun - Mood Board Challenge #22

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone!

Today... starts another FUN Challenge over at: 

SumMore Fun Stamps

 YAY! I know how you

guys enjoy a good Challenge!

Our Mood Board is - 

 You can use the theme, pictures, or color combo
 You don't have to use
a stamp from SumMore Fun if you don't have one!


All the rules for this fun challenge are RIGHT HERE!

Here's what I created to inspire you --

I chose to go with the flowers I see in the photos --

I'm using the lovely Raisin Boat Stamp Set Called:

OOPS A DAISY (9236-Z)

This set is so pretty - I colored all the

flowers already... I just need to get them on some cards!

I stamped my images on some Koh-I-Noor Bristol Smooth 
Watercolor paper with versamark ink and then heat embossed 
them with some black embossing powder - 
Then I cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut Machine
I colored the flowers with my Arteza Watercolor Pens (LOVE THEM)

Then pulled out some Distress Inks in - Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon,
& Spiced Marmalade and blended those colors together on a piece of
White Cardstock -
I pulled out a Lattice Background Die and cut it out with 
black cardstock -- Then adhered the background 
to my blended cardstock --
and attached it to a Black card base with some Fun Foam

I really liked the flowers but felt they needed some foliage, so 
I die cut 3 Flourish Leaves in some green Cardstock
I wanted my card to have some sparkle (Who Doesn't)
So I sprayed the card front, Flowers, & Leaves with my
Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray - I put some heat on 
everything to make sure it was all dry.

Then tried to figure out a good place for my
leaves and flowers to sit on my card front -- 

After that, I went for my sentiment, I heat embossed it
in black as well and I used a Stitched Banner die to cut it out
Placed it near the flowers and then added a little Bling!

I hope you guys can join us --

 I would LOVE to see what you create!

Last Valentine's Day Card....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today's my day to take over the blog at:

SumMore Fun Blog - (Victorine Originals)

YAY for me... 🙌


Today I thought I would share my last Valentine's Day Card -

Valentine's Day was Yesterday and I hadn't had a chance
to share the card I made for a friend of mine --

I die cut my Heart Circle die twice, so I could

mix and match the design together - Then I adhered them

on top of a White 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card front -

Then I used a Stitched Rectangle Die to give my card

a nice border 

I attached my Card front to some Fun Foam, then attached it

to my Pink Cardbase --

My Dotted Heart Stamp & Sentiment Stamp are Heat Embossed with

some Fine Silver Embossing powder

I used my Clear Wink of Stella Pen to add some

Glitter to all the pink hearts, then added a couple

of Clear Ice Cube Jewels for a final Touch!

I'm using the Playing Cupid (9059-Z) Stamp Set

by - Raisin Boat

This set is Perfect for so many

occasions besides Valentine's Day -

I just love it!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!

LOOOVE....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends!

I'm gonna try and make this post quick for ya --

Valentine's Day is Tomorrow and I wanted to

share another Card I made ---

So not all of this card is my idea -- The lower portion of my

card with the banner, heart, circle, & sequins are from a

tiny tag card I got from my card swap group 2 years ago --

We were supposed to make REGULAR Sized cards - But one

person in the group made these little tags -

Which I had no use for until now -- I cut it and used it for my card

I added the Stitched Chevron Die and LOVE word Dies

and the card layers and design --

I offset my LOVE word die, cutting it out 2 x's

Once in Black and Once in White

I'm Entering the Following Challenges --
Die Cuttin Diva's - Valentine's Day
Cut It Up Challenge #141 - Layers of Love
Jo's Scrap Shack  - Anything Goes

I'm happy with how this turned out

and I want to wish ALL of You

a VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Theresa
