Smooshing CAS Card...

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
I have a quick post for ya today!

I decided to make a Quick Smooshing Technique Birthday Card --

I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper, a couple of
Distress Oxide inks in Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick,
and Twisted Citron, and the Cherry Blossom Stamp set
by Raisin Boat 

I stamped my Cherry Blossom image onto the watercolor paper 
with some versamark ink then poured some
Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder over it -
I then heated it all up -

Then I added the Distress Oxides to a clear block
and sprayed it with some water
I laid it right on top of my embossed image
and I let it sit there for a few minutes to
get the colors soaked into my paper 

Once I lifted it off, I heat set my paper again
Then I added some flicks of the pink & green inks
onto my paper to give it a splattered look
I heat set it one more time to make sure everything
was dry before putting it through
my Gemini Jr. with the Stitched Rectangle Die

Once it was complete I added the Celebrate
Sentiment in some Memento Tuxedo Black ink
and adhered it to a piece of White Fun Foam
for added Dimension -

Of course, it needed some Sparkle so
I grabbed a couple of Clear Adhesive Gems
and it was ready to go!!

Cherry Blossom (10149-Z)

Flourishing Thoughts (10271-z)

The Theme this week is Butterfly!!

We also have an AMAZING Sponsor for this Challenge!

SVG Cutting Files

They are giving away a wonderful Gift Certificate!! 

How AWESOME IS THAT!!! Thank You SVG Cutting Files!!

-- Here's what I created to inspire you --

I created my cards in the Silhouette Program using Some Digital

Papers from Down this Road (Live, Laugh, Play) Collection

Then I die cut everything out with my Cameo - 

My Stitched Rectangle dies are from My Creative Time

I added dimensionals under the butterflies to make them POP

and added some Clear Adhesive gems for some sparkle.

The sentiment Stamp is from Jaded Blossom called 

(Sweet Birthday Wishes)

I needed a second card, so I made another one, without the

Butterflies this time - I added some Clear Gloss to the centers

of the Flowers and both cards are spritzed with Sheer

Shimmer Frost. They sparkle & shine! :)

The Thanks word die is from Pink N Main cut 3x's

and then layered on top of each other.

Now that you've seen what I've created - Head on over to

Die Cuttin Divas , join in the fun and create something

All about a boy...

Hello and Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

June is winding down already and Summer is in Full Swing! 

I hope you guys have some FUN Summer plans...

I'm still working but fewer hours so I have time

to PLAY for now... We have just been Chillin

for the past month - It just seems to hot out for me...

I'm more of a FALL Gal anyway! LOL

I thought I would share a card I made a while back -

Just hadn't had time to post it til now! :)

I'm using the Echo Park Digital paper collection (All about a Boy)

I printed everything out on some White Bazzill Cardstock

Then Sprayed my sheet with some Clear Acrylic Sealer

Then die cut all my pieces out on my Cameo -

I stamped the Happy Birthday from an Older My Craft Spot

Birthday Stamp set and I used my Stitched Rectangle Frame Die

from My Creative Time -

This was made for my April Local Card Swap Group

We needed to make a Baby or Kid card and I went

with a little boy theme 

My Card was inspired by one I found somewhere

online - Can't remember nor did I write it down anywhere

Which is unusual for me - :(

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a Fabulous Day!!

SumMore Fun Mood Board Challenge #31

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 --

As you can tell... I went with the Color combo & flowers

The sentiment I'm using could work for a Wedding Or Birthday Card -

I plan to use it for a Birthday card of course (I always need those)

The Stamp set I chose for my card is the

Cherry Blossom (10149-z) Stamp set from Raisin Boat

I'm also using an Assortment of Memento Dew Drop Inks

That Sabrina carries in her store - I hadn't realized how

vibrant these inks were and now I love using them

I'm using - Summer Sky, Rich Cocoa, Lilac Posies, Bamboo Leaves

and Desert Sand

My sentiment stamp is from the Flourishing Thoughts (10271-z) Stamp Set 

Which I LOVE to use ALL the time!!! So many beautiful Sentiments

in this set keep me picking it up time & time again!

  

The (Celebrate) Word Die is cut out

4x's for added Dimension and I used my

Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz on the Word and

the background - It really Sparkles in person!

Since I really wanted my floral background to shine

I used a piece of Vellum and folded it behind the white

Cardstock and adhered those 2 pieces together

Then I added a Piece of Fun Foam to that and attached

it to my Dark Espresso card base

I added some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards

to tie everything together and now it's ready to

be mailed off!!!

Just a reminder that if you play along, the Random
winner wins a $20 Gift Certificate to the 
SumMore Fun Stamps Store AND if you use a
SumMore Fun Stamp on your project 
 you'll get a $40 Gift Certificate!!
This is such a wonderful prize!!

I hope you guys can join us --

 I would LOVE to see what you create!

National Anthem....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

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

SumMore Fun Stamps Blog!!!

Today I thought I would share a Red, White, & Blue Card-

With the fourth of July coming up I felt the need

to create some Patriotic cards that I will mail

off to some of my friends!

I'm using the TOTALLY AWESOME

National Anthem Background (74508-S) Stamp

from Victorine Originals!! I gotta say this was

so easy to use and I LOVE how my background turned out!!

I used my Distress oxide inks in Candied Apple & Salty Ocean

Then I grabbed my Picket Fence Distress ink and stamped

the center in the white ink - It looked like it might fade out

so I pulled out some White embossing powder and poured

it over the center, part and heat embossed it

It totally made a huge difference and looks great between

the Red & Blue Words ...

As you can tell I did all of that on some Kraft Cardstock

And since it looks so nice, I didn't want to

take away from it too much --

So I decided to use a piece of Vellum and stamp

U.S.A. & an Eagle from the Strokes of Pride Raisin Boat

Stamp set. I used some Ultra Fine Black Embossing

powder on that part and I think it turned out nice...

 I felt my card needed a little something Extra --

So I die cut 2 Medium sized stars in Blue & Red and then 

2 tiny Stars in Silver then I adhered them

in the areas were the vellum was.

-- Just a closer look at my card and the Stamp Sets I used --

National Anthem Background (74508-S)

 Strokes of Pride (10212-Z)
