Florida Sunshine

Today I'm playing along at Cupcake Inspirations where this is the theme this time.. TRAVEL!

I know my colors don't match the theme cupcakes, but my design is all about travel. This stamp set from Pink & Main called Florida Sunshine has me thinking about just that.. a trip to the sunshine state!

The image in this set are iconic Florida images that have me thinking of many of the postcards I've picked up there over the years. I love the Al E. Gator, magic castle, oranges and of course the manatee!

My background is embossed with the Beach Waves dry emboss folder that I inked with Distress Oxide in hot colors.

I adhered a few elements flat to the base, the remainder are raised on adhesive foam to add dimension. Quick Tip: Make your own adhesive foam with craft foam and double sided tape sheets. You can cut the pieces to any size you like and they actually stick better than premade squares from the craft store.

I hope you'll find some time to play along! And start thinking about your next travel destination!

All I Want For Christmas

Thanks for stopping by! Today I'm sharing a card made with the Pretty Little Studio Candy Cane Collection. This is the latest release and I'm really excited about it!

Any day I get a holiday card make is a plus for me! I know I'll be glad I have them when the holidays roll around.

This beauty starts out with a 3x4" journaling card with a list of all good holiday things that I embellished with sweet treats!

The background papers are a simple plaid that I wanted to resemble a table cloth. The beads are table scatter I'll have on my own holiday table to make the house more festive.

I hope you'll visit the store and find a new collection that speaks to you!

Hello Sunshine!

Today I'm playing at Paper Funday where anything goes with dies or punches this time! With spring in the air I'm looking for BUTTERFLIES! They can't be far!

This card starts with the Waffle Flower Quatrefoil Texture die. I splattered it with watered down distress ink in rainbow colors that match the die cut leafy branches that I inked with Distress Ink.

The butterflies are stamped and then inked with a stencil, and finally cut with a metal die. To get the variation of color I just ink blended Distress Ink in the stencil layer.

The sentiment is a pre printed, die cut so no stamping required. It's a nice short cut and it's perfectly printed with no inky imperfections that you might get trying to lay down a solid layer of ink.

I hope you have a great day. Let me know if you spot some butterflies and tell them I'm looking for them!
