Hip Hip Hooray

Hi friends! I hope you're having a good day! Today I'm playing along at Shopping Our Stash. The theme this time is Leaf Me Alone! I love that they encourage me to use products I already have instead of shopping for new! I've been trying to slow my spending and focus more on supplies like inks, makers and cardstock lately.

This card starts with the Reverse Confetti Stitched Pinwheel cover die cut from white cardstock. Instead of cutting a bunch of scraps with colored cardstock I inked the cut out pieces with distress ink. This saved me time cutting !!!

I topped the panel with Reverse Confetti Tropical Leaves that I stamped with colored ink on colored cardstock. You don't have to be a master with markers to add some color to your designs!

The HAPPY sentiment is cut from cardstock in matching colors. The letters are adhered over the background die that's included in the Reverse Confetti "Happy" die set.

The finishing touch is a few gold enamel dots. I always stock up when Hobby Lobby has a Paper Studio half off sale! The gold is brilliant because it goes with EVERYTHING! I hope you find some time to play!

Hi and thanks so much for stopping by! Today I'm sharing a fun and happy card made with Heffy Doodle's Pandtastic stamp set and coordinating dies!

I've been crafting for as along as I can remember, but cardmaking became my obsession about 12 years ago! I can't resist a rainbow of color, crisp die cuts and sweet images to play with. Crafting is my sweet escape!

My card starts with a rainbow Distress Ink panel in Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, and Salty Ocean. Distress Inks are much brighter than their Oxide Version making them perfect for this cheery card!

I think these cute pandas look like they love crafting just about as much as I do! I inked them with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic markers.

I loved arranging these little guys! All the fun accessories in the set like the paint tubes and cans, brushes and easel just bring this scene to life!

I couldn't resist making a coordinating tag. I cut a panel of white cardstock, rounded the edges and punched a hole for the tag base. A little ink blending, a stamped sentiment and these adorable pandas and this one comes together quick!

  

I appreciate this opportunity to share my love of crafting with you ! I hope you're inspired to break out the ink and make some adorable cards!

Just A Little Autumn Note

Well it's Monday again and I hope yours is off to a good start! I'm slept in today - the cool night and open windows had me bundled up and dreaming away! I'm trying to get motivated today! I thought a little challenge might be just the thing! Today I'm playing along at the Make my Monday Challenge where the theme is Autumn Flora and Fauna. This card has both!

Today I'm playing along at the Make my Monday Challenge where the theme is Autumn Flora and Fauna. This card has both!

My card starts with a Distress Oxide Panel that I stenciled with Gina K. Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel using the Falling Branches stencil from Pretty Pink Posh.

I topped the panel with an Autumn Wreath and some cute little Mouse Friends. The open wreath center seemed like just the perfect place for a sentiment! I die cut the sentiment with a circle die and it fit perfectly inside the wreath.

Have a good week and don't forget to stop and enjoy the little things!
