Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend? Did you craft? Bake?

Take a walk? Play games? Binge-watch TV?

All of the above? hahaha

ME? Well, I did take a nice 40-minute walk with my son -

No one was out, and it was like 74 degrees outside and

I was like... Ummm, yeah we need to take a walk -

We stayed in the center of the road and went up and down a few hills

It felt good to exercise and get some fresh air -

Then I cleaned my house! :) Did some Laundry and Baked 2 loaves of fresh bread -

I also caught up on some TV shows I like to watch and watched

a Disney Movie (Onward) :) - It was a nice relaxing weekend - :)

But I'm back to work today - Gotta finish up cleaning the school! :)

Trendy Baker's Twine - Flip Flops

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

This month they are featuring Classic Navy Trendy Twine

I created a Fun Summertime Card --

What do ya think of my Flip Flops??

The Flip Flop die set I'm using is from Stamps of life

I put adhesive on a small piece of white cardstock then proceeded to

add the Classic Navy trendy twine across it in rows - once I got

enough twine on I put the flip flop dies on it and put it through

my Sizzix machine - They cut out beautifully - 

I used navy cardstock for the top portion of the flip flops, 

then I used some designer paper for the flowers that sit

on top of the flip flops!

I'm using a Digital Image called: Summer Days Digital Cluster

The DP is from Recollections (Pool-Riffic) 6x6 pad

I've got some Doodlebug Sprinkles on my card and I'm

using a stitched rectangle frame die from MCT

Of course, I had to dress up the inside for ya too!

I used some Navy Cardstock for the Flip Flop and then

I die cut out the strap to the Flip Flop with some Classic

Navy Trendy Twine and then added the flower on top of that!

The Sentiment stamp is from Annie's Paper Boutique

It's called SMILE

 it has such SWEET sentiments and I love the

variety - This is a must-have for crafters!

You're Fintastic!

Hello & Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

I have a super fun Card to show ya today!

I seem to be playing with Sharks & Bees

this month besides my Christmas cards!

What a crazy combo! hahahaha

I'm using the Digital Paper Collection called

(SHARK TANK)

and my trusty old Silhouette Program

How CUTE is this?? I love the purple shark!

I designed everything in my program, just dragging and dropping colors

here and there - I printed everything out on some

Bazzill White 12 x 12 cardstock - Then sprayed my sheet with

some Acrylic Spray then proceeded to let my Cameo

cut out all my pieces

I used a Stitched Rectangle Frame die from My Creative Time

The Sentiment is from Lawn Fawn (Fintastic Friends) and I

heat embossed it with clear embossing powder -

Here's a Screen Shot of my design and pieces before cutting it all out

Of course, I did the inside as well - I thought this might be fun to send 

to a crafty friend!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FIN-TASTIC DAY!!!

Happy Bee's....

Hello and Happy Thursday Crafty Peeps!

I was playing around in my Silhouette program

and made these super Fun Cards - 

Aren't they cute??? I thought they turned out adorable!

I realized after I started taking the pictures that I forgot to

put a sentiment on the fronts! OOPS!!

Here's a close up of one of the cards - 

I Popped up the sweet little bee's

Funny that I say "sweet" for bees! Real Bee's are NOT Sweet! 

And I'm allergic to them! (Fun Fact) LOL

I'm using Digital Files for the bees (FlyPixel Studio)

And the Papers (Scrap de Yas)

The Clear Adhesive gems are from Stampin' Up & CTMH

I used Fun Foam to pop up the design on the Black Cardstock

And I added Some Clear Wink of Stella to all the black areas

on the little bees - 

Here's a look at the inside of my cards - I added more cute bees

and I trimmed a strip of the DP to go along the bottom -

I used a stitched Rectangle frame die to add a little something as well

The Sentiment is a Digital Stamp set from Polka Dot Orchard

It's called Bee Hoppy

It's supposed to read "Hoppy Thoughts for my BEE-utiful Friend"

But I wanted it to say "HAPPY" instead, so all I did was

print out the original sentiment then I took my black

Micron pen and added a little line to the "O" and

BAM I made Hoppy into Happy!!!

Nice way to get a little more out of your Digital stamps!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a Terrific Day!!

Jaw-Some

Hello and Happy Tuesday Crafty Peeps!

Do you have BIG plans for the 4th of July this week?

Going anywhere? or staying home and chillin'?

Me? I'll be staying home and probably crafting!

No fireworks... maybe some grilling & a salad or two

I'm a pretty simple gal, easy is always best for me! LOL

Recently I downloaded an Adorable Digital

Shark Tank kit and I had to make some cards

with it - So today I'm gonna show you

one of those Fun cards -

OMWORD... Isn't this just so fun??

I love that Sharks face!!! It makes me giggle!!

I started by using some Distress Oxides to create the background

While I let it dry completely I opened up my Silhouette Program

and pulled in the Digital Shark and seaweed, then I added the bubbles

in different sizes, then I added a yellow stitched frame

I got everything set up the way I wanted then put my Distress

Oxide paper through my printer - 

I used a second sheet of white paper to print out the sharks

and seaweed then cut them out with my Cameo - 

Everything was sprayed with some Acrylic Sealer

Then I added the Sentiment from (Lawn Fawn)

with versamark ink, and then I added some clear embossing

Powder over that and heat set it -

I put my card front through my big shot with the

Stitched Frame Die from (My Creative Time)

then added some fun foam to the back side before

placing it onto my White Card Base -

Of course, I had to share the inside of the card as well with you - 

The sentiment was Digitally created in my Silhouette

and I used the Stitched Rectangle Frame die from (My Creative Time)

along with a little border and a smaller Shark with Seaweed -

This is going to be a fun card to mail out to someone!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS 4th of July!!!

I made one! Crazy! Especially since I have

sooo many I need to get made!

Isn't it CUTE??? It looks cute on my shelf anyway! 😁

So, I found the plain Lemon Sign in the

Dollar bin at Target and I knew I could make it into

a simple sign for Summer -

I used 4 different colors of Vinyl

The Flowers are Pebbles Puffy Stickers and

I added 2 Clear Adhesive gems to them

The Cute Sentiment is from the Silhouette Store (#260696)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!!

When life gets sour....

Hello & Happy Friday! 

Also, Happy first day of SUMMER!!

It's been hot around here for a while already and

will continue through the coming months - my shock

is that we are almost done with June already! WHAT?

Feels like the month barely started! Is it just me?

Well... while I sit here in my Air Conditioned house

I thought I would share a nice Summertime drink with you -

I'm using some new Digital stamps from Polka Dot Orchard

This set is called - Endless Potential

I went ahead and made a watercolor background

Then I put it through my printer and printed out

the sweet sentiment - I die cut it out with a 

Stitched rectangle Frame die from My Creative Time

The lemonade image was printed and colored with

some of my Stampin' Blends pens and then I cut the image

shape out with my Scan N Cut machine

I added a couple of Clear Adhesive Gems and 

now it's ready to be mailed! 😁

Cardstock - Neenah Solar White, Papertrey Ink Black

Fun Foam, and SU Dimensionals

Buzzing by Birthday...

Hello and Happy Friday Fellow Crafters

It's the weekend!! YESSS!!!
That means I'm already on my way to my
sister's house for a nice visit!! I'm totally
looking forward to hanging with my sister and 
my nieces - They are so much fun to be around!

All this week I've been showcasing some digital stamps

I got from my Awesome crafty friend Jessica over at:

Polka Dot Orchard

I hope you've gone to check out her store or maybe even bought 
a couple of her Digi's - They really are wonderful and
you can mix and match them (which is what I like to do!)

Here's a sweet Buzzing Birthday card I created -

Isn't this just the cutest little bee!!!

I'm using the Bee Hoppy digital stamp set for the background and the

sweet Bumble Bee/Flowers - 

I'm using the Good Morning Spring Digital

Stamp set for my Birthday Sentiment - 

The "Hello" sentiment is from the

It's your Day Digital Stamp set and 

the (Heart) is from the

Winter Bear Digital Stamp set - SEE - Very easy to use lots

of her Digi's on one project!!! LOVE THAT!!

Because the Bee has bunny ears & a basket I had to
enlarged my flower to cover up the ears and covered up the basket 
by adding the heart to the front of it -

I thought I would share the inside of my card -

So you can see how I created it as well -

After I made my bee, I shrunk it down so I can add the

same elements to the inside of my card - I did the same for the

hexagon shapes -

I colored everything with my Alcohol markers -
I used some clear adhesive gems, Fun Foam,
a banner die, and a stitched rectangle Frame die - 
My bees & Flower image were all Die cut out with my Scan N Cut Machine

  

I'm Entering the following Challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes

Cut it Up Challenge - Birthdays

Die Cuttin Divas - Tic-Tac-Toe

I'm using Gems, an Insect, & Digital Stamping as my Technique

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Fabulous Day!!
