Scrapbook.com Hello Sunshine Bunny card

 Hello Sunshine!  I am so excited about this card.  I created this card after taking this class as part of SBC Fest 2024.  The possibilities of this Scrapbook.com Rabbit die set are infinite.  I am sending this to my niece and nephew. I hope they display these cuties. I made it an easel card so it would be easy to display. I never make easel cards. It was super easy and I appreciated the challenge of designing for a different fold.


Here's a close up of all my die cutting.  I used the Scrapbook.com papers for most of the die cutting, however, the grey of my boy bunny is out of my stash as is the black, white and pink papers.


I stamped the sentiment inside.  I also stamped the carrots and fussy cut each piece.  Scrapbook.com is coming out with the matching die set soon.  You know, I will have to have it!


Ingredients:
American Craft Pine pigment ink (carrot foliage)
Ranger Archival Russet ink (carrot)
Momento Tuxedo Black ink (sentiment)
Quick Quotes Feather Gray Powderpuff chalking ink
misc card stock

All the Scrapbook.com product came from the SBC Fest bundle kit available HERE and let me tell you it is a bargain!  Of course, there's more accompanying product that I need to now purchase.  LOL

DCWV Stardust Stack: Flanders layout for Sketches in Thyme

Good morning sunshine! Today I am scrapping some of the few photos I like of myself.  These are from a dinner in Flanders, CT. It's a trip we took in 2020 so you know those smiles, laughter and sharing meals with friends were few and far between.  I used DCWV Stardust Stack papers and from there I picked up whatever I had in my stash that worked to embellish.  Of course, I was inspired by my monthly sketch from Sketches in Thyme Facebook Group.


Here's the sketch.





Ingredients:
DCWV Stardust Stack
misc card stock and papers
gold doilies, gold chipboard sticker letters, tickets, fibers, sequins and various embellishments

Don't forget you can play along until the end of the month with any of our weekly sketches on the Sketches in Thyme Facebook group.  Thanks for stopping by.

Sizzix Fold a long Rainbow card for Spring

Spring is right around the corner so I created a subtle bright rainbow to help usher in the new season.  I love rainbows and I love the wow of special folds.  This made all the more exciting by being a shaped card and all the more easy with the Sizzix die set.


I stamped this sentiment inside the card, but I can't for the life of me figure out the set from which it came.





Ingredients:
Sizzix Card Fold-a-long Jen Long Rainbow

Stampin Up All Boxed Up with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challange

Welcome to my blog today.  I am creating for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I recently purchased this Honey Bee paper second hand.  I thought it was so pretty, but who knew I would come up with this March holiday card with it!  I found this awesome sticker sheet in my March holiday stash.  I consulted my color swatches and found Stampin Up Wild Wasabi to be the best ink match.


Here is this week's sketch.


A close up of my cluster.  I created with sentiment strips and stickers. I added the circular sticker to white cardstock and die cut it.  Then popped it up with foam stickers.


It's so easy to coordinate with a paper stack.

Stampin Up Wild Wasbi Ink
Honey Bee Playful Pastels 6x6 papers

Brother and Lil Sister layout for Sketches in Thyme

Welcome to my blog today. I am posting my inspiration for the latest Sketches in Thyme sketch.  We have four sketches per month, play along on the Facebook Group.  I created a layout of my niece and nephew.  I love them so much.  I used a lot of random papers and embellishments from my stash.


Here's the sketch:

I sprinkled all sorts of brads, rub ons and other embellies around the layout. 


I dug out Creative Memories sticker letters for the title but I also found the word "lil" on a sticker sheet and found it to be the perfect touch.


I used drops of liquid glue to adhere the fiber in just dots around the twist.  I ended by wrapping it around the circle frame I cut with a metal die.


I found a little ticket that worked great and some cool stickers too!



Ingredients:
Craft Smart card stock
misc card stock 
Close to My Heart Sassy Strands Autumn Harvest fibers
Basic Grey Heritage stickers and Boxer rub ons
Bo Bunny Cambridge Icandy brads
Spellbinders Celebrations Fun Filled Rings
Stampin Up Always Artichoke pen
Creative Memories sticker letters
Simple Stories Homegrown foam stickers
My Mind's Eye Happy Days die cut border

Hero Arts You're a Fungi with Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Welcome to my blog today and my latest Atlantic Hearts challenge inspiration card.  I recently purchased this paper pad and embellishment pack.  I can't remember where, Target?  Ollies?  I am trying to think where I was shopping before Xmas.  I loved it, I even got my friends some of this adorable paper.  I adore mushrooms and found this sentiment to be the perfect size to die cut.


Here is this week's sketch.


I stamped the sentiment in Tip Top Taupe and cut it out with a die.  I popped it up to allow for the twine underneath.  Finally I adhered the chipboard sticker to the top of the sentiment.


Ingredients:
Violet Studios 6x6 paper and chipboard stickers
Hero Arts You're a Fungi stamp set
Stampin Up Tip Top Taupe
Stampin Up Sizzix Apothecary Accents die
