Best Friends

Hey Y'all!!!  So excited to showcase another a beautiful pop up vase as part of the Design Team for Scrappy Tails Crafts.  Today it's all about dies.  No coloring involved.  Sometimes I just like to cut shapes out of fun paper and create a beautiful something.  How about you?  This beautiful something folds flat and fits perfectly inside an envelope for mailing.  This beautiful folding vase is available in my Etsy store HERE!  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

I started by cutting plenty of daisies using Scrappy Tails Crafts ‘Whimsical Layering Daisies‘ die set.  I cut them from Honey Bee Stamps ‘Back to Basics‘ and ‘The Bee's Knees‘ 6 x 6 paper packs.  These are some of my favorite paper.

 

 

The pop-up base is cut by using Scrappy Tails Crafts ‘Flower Vase Pop Up‘ die set.  You can put several together to make a bigger vase.  I love this little cute size using just 1 set of panels.  I cut it from Honey Bee Stamps ‘The Bee's Knees‘ 6 x 6 paper packs.  The sentiment ‘Best Friends's is from Scrappy Tails Crafts ‘Slimline Pop Up Box' die set.  The set has lots of fun sentiments for you to cut.

 

 

Wouldn't you love to have those beautiful daisies in your backyard?

Make The Cards Challenge Week #14 – 3-2-1 Challenge

Hey Y'all!!!  I'm back with the Make The Cards Challenge Week #14.  This week's challenge was a 3-2-1 challenge.  3 embellishments, 2 dies, 1 stamp.  I fell in love with Mae the first time I laid eyes on her this winter.  She's a digital stamp from Whimsy Stamps.  Breezy Mae is the newest stamp in her collection.  With that sweet little almost smile.  Wonder what she's thinking?  This beautiful card is available in my Etsy store HERE!  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

 

I started by coloring ‘Breezy Mae‘ from Whimsy Stamps.  I just love digital stamps.  It's colored on Sweet Sentiments ‘Premium Coloring Paper‘.  Beautiful paper!

 

COPIC MARKERS:

• Dress (YG25, YG23, YG11, YG00)

• Skin & Eyes (E11, E21, E04, E00, R20, R30, R22, B000)

• Hair (N10, N9, N7, N5, N3)

 

 

 

 

The card base is made out of Stampin' UP!'s ‘Basic Black‘ card stock.  I colored a piece of card stock with Oxide Ink: Twisted Citron, Shabby Shutters & Mowed Lawn.  Love the ‘Cotton Tail Blending Brushes‘ from The Rabbit Hole Designs.  So smooth and effortless for Distress Oxide Inks.  Used the ‘Postage Windows A2‘ die from Whimsy to create the back layer.  I inserted the cut out pieces in reverse order to give the background a little more texture.  Popped them up with foam tape.

 

 

I glued ‘Breezy Mae‘ on top of the ‘Postage Windows A2‘ pieces.  Used Whimsy Stamps ‘Selfie' dies to cut a cool phone outline from Stampin' UP!'s ‘Basic Black‘ card stock.  One of the dies included in the set is the word Smile.  Her's is so pretty don't you think?

 

 

Added two beautiful flowers in complementary colors and a few dots.  LOVE!

Hello Spring From The Summer Tortoises

Hey Y'all!!!  Oh what fun these Summer Tortoises are having frolicking in the spring flowers.  This fun little stamp is from All Dressed Up Stamps on Etsy.  I'd love to look out my back window and see these little tortoises in my yard.  Wouldn't you?  This beautiful card is available in my Etsy store HERE!  All the details for making this card yourself are below (including links).

 

 

I started by coloring the ‘Summer Tortoises‘ digital stamp set from All Dressed Up Stamps.  I just love digital stamps.  It's colored on Sweet Sentiments ‘Premium Coloring Paper‘.  My favorite copic paper!

 

COPIC MARKERS:

• Flowers, Turtles & Leaves (R09, R06, R04, R02, BG07, BG05, BG02, B000, YG09, YG06, YG11, YG01, Y19, Y08, R29, R27, R24, E37, E35, E31)

• Glitter Gel Pens, White Gel Pen

 

The card base is from Stampin' UP!'s ‘Magenta Madness‘ card stock.  The background layer is from Doodlebug Designs ‘Hey Cupcake' 6 x 6 paper pad.  What fun paper.  I rounded the edges with a paper rounder from Stampin' UP!.  The scalloped border around the ‘Summer Tortoises‘ is created using La-La Land Crafts ‘Scalloped Squares‘ die set.  I just centered it on the Hey Cupcake paper.

 

The ‘Hello Spring‘ sentiment is from a La-La Land Crafts die set.  I cut it from Stampin' UP!'s ‘Magenta Madness‘ card stock and glued it to the top of the card.  Tied a matching ribbon around the bottom for a pretty finish.

 

Don't those tortoises & flowers look just like springtime?
