House Mouse Blueberry Tart

Hello friends!  I created this card from an image that I colored a while time ago.  It ended up in my scraps pile and I thought it was time to rescue this little guy.  The flowers and most of the elements were also scraps.  This should have come together pretty quickly, but I had to take lots of breaks to run after my youngest.  He's not even two but he really is a menace!

Kraftin Kimmie Rapunzel

Hi!  I created this as an inspiration card for the new Anything Goes (With a Twist) Challenge at Crafting by Designs. 

I was in a princess mood.  I think Rapunzel may be retired, but there are so many other adorable Kraftin' Kimmie stamps available with new releases monthly.  My wishlist is a mile long, KKS images are always cute, fun and sometimes sassy!  They just announced a guest DT call on the FB Page, and I submitted this card.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed, wish me luck!

This originally began as a tag but things kept changing direction.  There are so many different dies on this card.  I just kept pulling out supplies.  

The MFT layered pink roses were colored with glimmer mist and copics. The Marianne Design purple leaf die cuts were colored with distress ink.  The greenery was cut from green paper with a Penny Black die and sponged with distress ink and the ends colored with gold Smooch paint.

Rapunzel was colored with copics and glittered with clear stickles.  The Die-Namics flourish die was embossed with two types of gold embossing powder.  The Magnolia banner and Sue Wilson French Collection Corner die (under the flowers) were embossed with Frantage embossing powder.

I added some sequins in spots, and voila!  I framed this in my daughter's room.  I had a collection of empty frames and shadowboxes on her wall and figured maybe it was time to fill them before she becomes a teenager. My Kraftin' Kimmie Cinderella Card ended up there too, now I just need to make her one more princess card and her wall will be done. :)

DRU Back to School

Good morning, this is a card I made for our Back to School Challenge at Dies R Us.  You have two weeks to enter your project and the challenge begins today so head on over to join us for some fun!

LaLa Land Folding Banner

Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circle Large

Spellbinders Nestabilities Star Circles

I made the card above for my son's teacher and the one below for my daughter's teacher.  They were colored with copics and the image is from Crafter's Companion.  It was one stamped image that I cut in two. These cards ended up being very quick to create and I like how the dark background really helps to make the main images stand out.

LaLa Land Folding Banner

Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circle Large

I love these La La Land banners.  They are big enough for a number of sentiments and fold perfectly to give a great 3D embellishment.  It's really a perfect staple die.

Did you know that if Dies R Us doesn't have what you're looking for in stock, they frequently re-stock items and if you put yourself on the waiting list you'll be notified when items are back in stock?

Thanks for stopping by!

KKS Anne Girl

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite children's books and I had to have this Kraftin' Kimmie stamp.   I've owned this stamp for a while now I think but it's my first time using it.

My 17 month old grabbed my Copics (boy, he's quick!) and colored over the image so I ended up having to cut her out as well as paper piece her carpet bag.  Maybe he did me a favor?  :)  Thanks for stopping by!

I made this card for Scrapbook Pal's "Use Stickles" contest.  You can find Scrapbook Pal's info HERE. I used three colors of Stickles on this card:  Waterfall, Copper Brown & Star Dust.  

 The flower has a sprinkling of Stickles glitter but her Stickle-covered hairbows really sparkle! Plus the bow centers are blue rhinestones. She was stamped with Memento Ink (Tuxedo Black) and colored with Copics. The flower, the Spellbinders Lacey Oval and the center of the La-La Land Banner have foam tape behind them for added dimension.  Here's a close-up:

La-La Lotus



I was so excited to discover this lotus flower die.  It reminds me of a water lily.  When I was little I had a packet of water lily seeds.  I'm not sure they ever germinated but I remember being fascinated by the large seeds that could be planted in water.  I think the flowers could be turned into different types depending on how they are colored.  Next time maybe I'll pair them with mermaid stamps.   It may be difficult to see but the leaves really do shimmer.  The green scallop was a last minute addition but I think it was needed for visual balance.  Thanks for looking!
