Fishing You A Great Day

Hi guys,

       Thanks for stopping by today. For today's project I want to share with you a card I cased from Bibiana's bendi fold card.

       This is such a unique style and I just had to share this with you guys. Of course, I used my handy dandy Silhouette to create the card and rectangles. "Why buy the die when your Silhouette can recreate it to any size you like ?", is my motto.

     
      I have never done a "man" card but as soon as I saw the moose fishing from Kaboodle Bug Designs I just knew that I had to try my hand at it.

      Love the outcome and so does my hubby. Know it's a winner when he thinks it's a man card.

      To create my clouds I used scrap paper and my cloud die from Mama Elephant. I laid my paper die cut out onto the card, grabbed my Tim Holtz sponger and my Memento Sky blue and sponge layered my clouds.
 
 

       If  this is your first time creating clouds like this, there are plenty of YouTube videos to show you how.

  I have to admit, when I first started layering my clouds I was ready to scrap it. So happy I just kept going and now I will tell you the same thing. Just keep layering the clouds. The end result will speak for itself.

   Notice my cute little forest border in the back? That little cut came from Lawn Fawn.


   To top the card off, I used Scrappy Mom Stamps Amusing Animals and topped it off with my Jaded Blossom die.

Thanks for stopping by and as always,

Hope you have a scrappy day!

Mourner's Top Hat

Hi all,

               Have I told you that Halloween is my favorite holiday? I just love looking at all the creative costumes, haunted houses and of course the much needed, highly anticipated, free candy! LOL! I have a serious sweet tooth.

               Anyway, enough about me, on to my creation. For today's project, I want to share with you my much beloved Mourner's Top Hat by SnapDragon Snippets. This design can also be found in the Silhouette online store, # 67665.

                 Isn't this hat amazing! When I first started this hat, I was ready to scrap it. But I am so glad that I just kept going with it and the result to me is amazing. To create the splatter effects I used a regular black crayola marker and just splashed it all over my paper piecings, let it dry, embossed it with Stampin Up's Spider Web embossing folder, and inked edges.     
              The skull with the feather boa was found at Joanne's and to add accents to the hat, I used dies from Jaded Blossom.
             To create the worn, distressed feather look, I just brushed the feathers back and forth over my jeans, assembled all the pieces and viola!

Hope you guys enjoyed this and as usual, wishing you all a scrappy day!

Aloha guys!

You should just have come from Jessi.  If you missed the beginning line up you can start here with Melanie.
One of my favorite sayings is "You're the bee's knees". When I saw Scrappy Moms Stamps, "Amusing Animals" stamp with this saying I just knew I had to use it to make my KBD creation. I found Lori Whitlock's A2 pop out card in the Silhouette online store and just knew I had to create my project with it. 

I just love KBD's cutie Kadoodle Bumble Bears and don't you agree that SMS stamp goes so well with it?

I used my handy dandy Stickles accents to glitter my project as well as the "Bee's knees" on the stamp. To create my eyelashes I used my Micron pen 0.05 and fanned out the lashes. To top off my card I used dies from Jaded Blossom.

Up next is the super talented JoAnn and her awesome creation.


Hope you guys all enjoy my card.

Beach Themed Sweet 16

Aloha,

I would like to share a special project I had been working on for my daughter's Sweet 16.

For this project I was inspired by a beach theme lantern found on Pinterest found here:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/459930180665538993/

To add the waves and seashell to the base of my lantern I used dies from Jaded Blossom and finished up the lantern handle with some hemp cord found at my local craft store.

My daughter's birthday invite was made using the Sizzix Flip It's and Stands Up collection die (mind you there are several different dies in this collection).

Beach theme for this invite was made using products from the Silhouette store as well as my beach theme Jaded Blossom dies.

Really love how this project turned out and I hope it inspires you to create today.

Hope you have a scrappy day.
