TupeloDesignsLLC - Ocean Bliss

Hi! Happy Friday! I hope you're having a great day! I'm having a sweet crafty escape today. It's been getting colder and colder here in the midwest and I guess I'm just not ready to give in to the winter months ahead. That's really what I love about crafting.. I can go anywhere.... to a flower garden, to the beach, camping or to outer space.. it's all just a stamp away LOL!

And what I love about TupeloDesignsLLC store is finding something new like this cute mermaid from HoneyBee Stamps called Ocean Bliss.

I made a simple background of Distress Ink. I made a mask by cutting a sheet of scrap paper in half. I covered the top half of my paper with the scrap and inked the sandy beach, then used the other half of the scrap paper to cover the beach and ink the water (Tumbled Glass). I made a separate wave die and inked in a darker blue distress ink (Salty Ocean). The mermaid was inked with Memento and colored with Copic Markers. I also used Copic markers to add little dots on the rock and sand to add some dimension.

Isn't she sweet? I know you'll love finding something new at TupeloDesignsLLC too! The best part is that they have FREE SHIPPING every day with no coupon required (USA only - discounted rates international). It's a great way to treat yourself! Click here to jump to the store - TupeloDesignsLLC.

Pretty Little Studio - Just Dance In The Rain

There's no escaping it.. some days there's just going to be rain. You might as well make the most of it and look for the rainbow! The Pretty Little Studio Savannah Dreams Collection might just have you looking forward to some big fat colorful raindrops! They're total eye candy with their split color and stitched outlines.

My card is mostly blue which makes the colorful raindrops just pop off the page. 

All the die cuts on this card - the raindrops, clouds, and even the sentiment, are from the Rainy Day 2 pack. I adhered some of the elements flat to the card while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape. This adds dimension and brings the card to life. 

I can't resist a little bling, and the appropriately named Raindrop Blue Sequins are perfect here. They're a soft transparent blue with just the right amount of color and shine! 

So don't let the rain drag you down.. it's just temporary.. look for the rainbows!

Pretty Pink Posh November Release Blog Hop!

Oh happy day! Pretty Pink Posh is having a 2 day blog hop to celebrate the new November release and there's so much to show you! If you're hopping along you should have reached me from Alix Davis's blog! If you'd like to start from the beginning and get all the details you can get them here at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

The release includes lots of new things including 5 new stamp sets, loads of dies and new sequin and jewel mixes too.

I'm sharing just die cuts today.. so only a small portion of what's available! I love color and die cuts are always my favorite! I started both of these cards with a background of Stacked Edges dies. You simply cut a bunch of the stitched border dies and attach them together to create beautiful backgrounds. That's a lot of cutting, so I always cut three dies at a time and save all the strips in an envelope for future projects. My tree at home is always covered with a rainbow of colored lights and ornaments so the rainbow background was a natural here.

The new Layered Tree die is easy to assembly. I cut the dies in shades of green and decorated it with lots of bitty ornaments hanging from little bows.   There are three ornaments in the die set so you can choose the shape you like.  The Season's Greetings Script die is layered over the tree.

The finishing touch is a rainbow of jewels to add some sparkle and shine.

My second card is on a Stacked Edges background of blue and teal.

I die cut the new Stitched Ornaments dies in red, and yellow, and carefully cut a piece in orange where they overlap.

The ornaments are stitched all the way around and come in two different shapes. The little topper is a separate die. I cut mine from gold foil to look like the real thing.

The new Pine Sprigs dies are perfect to deck the halls I know I'l be reaching for them all season long to mix with the other new products (Poinsettias and Decorative Ornaments), and older ones too! (Festive Holly).

The "jolly" word sentiment was cut from the new Ornament Shaker die (there's a new Tree Shaker die too!)!

I think the jewels are my favorite embellishment right now. The new mixed color packs make it easy to choose a favorite since it's got more than one shade inside!
