Hello friends! I'm popping by today with a project that I'm sharing on the Emerald Creek Dares blog for our newest challenge Flowers On The Wall. Even though we still have snow, I am holding out hope that before long we will see flowers blooming, lol! And, I'm always up for crafting with flowers! I decided to create a tag and use some of the new Eileen Hull Molten Dimension embossing powders. They are amazing!! I also had a lot of fun playing with the new Ranger Alcohol Pearl Inks... so yum! They work amazing on Yupo paper as well as to customize any metallic embellishments. You'll be able to get closeups on each step on the EC blog!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Emerald Creek Dares blog to see a full tutorial, supply list, closeups and find out how to enter your floral project this month for a chance to win an awesome prize!! Have a wonderful week friends. xx
Hello! I sure hope you have all had a great weekend. Today I'm sharing a pretty recipe card holder and mini folders to hold recipe cards. I find I often just look up recipes online now, but I do have my favourites that I love to use over and over, as well as a few that have been passed down. It's nice to have a home for those ones and a pretty place to keep the one I'm using safe and tidy. I started out with a chickenwire frame from the dollar store and stained the wood a light brown colour. Then I tucked a piece of green cardstock inside the backing, along with a mason jar cut out.
My family loved this Sweet Potato Scones recipe I found online and I wanted to make sure I kept it handy to make again! The Farmhouse kitchen sign was easy to make with some white corrugated paper covered with a silver stain so that it resembled corrugated metal. I cut out the words from a larger piece of cardstock and layered it all together.
I used the chicken wire paper to cover the front of the mini file folders and then added some fun labels. The paper itself was black and white so I chose a few colours that would coordinate with the frame and painted in the details.
I used some Little Birdie Crafts flowers and chipboard, along with some more images cut from different papers, to create a pretty cluster on the corner of the frame.
Here's few closeups of the details, along with the yummy scones!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have an awesome and very crafty week 💚
Hello! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful week
friends! We are finishing off the last week of school here and getting our
teacher gifts together. I thought this adorable Kitty Bee Designs - Venti Coffee Panda Girl was just
perfect for the front of this sweet coffee gift card holder greeting
card!
I used Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers to colour
in the cute image and then I cut it out with a Waffle Flower stitched die
before layering on the Tim Holtz Gift Card Holder Bag from Sizzix. The pretty,
bright papers from Your Next Stamp matched the colours I used on the image and
I got inspiration for the design from the June Scrap Shotz card sketch. (You have until the end of the month to enter!)
I cut a piece of patterned paper to create a tag and stamped on a sentiment from a Pretty Cute Stamps set with Pink Distress Oxide Ink. I’ll attach a coffee gift card to the tag with glue dots so it can easily be removed. Some pretty SpiegelMom Scraps sequins and a Little Birdie Crafts Burlap flower, altered with some shiny yellow Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, finish off the card.
We are so thankful for the amazing teachers the girls have been blessed to have this year, and this card is just a small token of our appreciation for them!

Whew, that's almost a tongue twister! Well, I'm so happy to be on the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew again this year!! They are an amazing family owned company and have a wonderful assortment of products. Definitely a dream to be on their design team! Every year the DT gets to create a 4x4 canvas using the beautiful products from CCB - which include Tattered Angels, 7gypsies and Canvas Corp Brands. These 4x4 canvases represent each DT member's unique style. One thing I love about CCB is that they don't want everyone fitting into the same box and they celebrate the different talents that each person brings to working with them. This year I wanted to start with a beautiful rub-on from the 7gypsies Architextures Pose Rub-ons. These rub-ons are sooo super cool! They are meant to look like a vintage stamped image, and you can use them on numerous surfaces. I wanted the beautiful texture of the natural canvas to show through so after I applied the face rub-on I used various Tattered Angels translucent Mists to paint in my face and background.
I used some of the 7gypsies Architextures Short Base Doily Stickers (a wonderful product you can use as a stencil, a sticker, you can alter....) to the corners of my canvas and glued on a pretty Little Birdie Crafts butterfly.
I used one of the gorgeous 7gypsies Architextures stickers and added a rub-on sentiment. This girl stickers was a Michaels Exclusive! Some Little Birdie Crafts glitter was glued around the canvas for a little more sparkle.
These pretty canvas flowers from Little Birdie Crafts were just perfect to spray with the Tattered Angels Mists. I added touches of gold to the leaves as well and layered them on the canvas.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! You can find the link to all the Crew's fantastic creations HERE, and just by clicking on the 4x4 pics you can find your way to each person's blog. You might just discover someone new to follow, and a lot of great inspiration!
To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images. If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!
I decided to make a Thank You card for my project using this Floral Emblem from Cricut Access in Design Space. I used floral papers from the Maggie Holmes Bloom paper pad to layer on the cardbase as well as to diecut in my Cricut Explore. Because the papers were so soft I added a little Distress Inks sponged around the edges of the cuts. In order to place all the cut elements just right, I first laid the negative image on top and then glued each cut into the open areas. After I pulled off the negative I was left with perfectly placed diecuts!
Inside, I used a Many Thanks sentiment from the Jasmine cartridge. I cut 3 of them at once and layered them to create a thicker embellishment. I added a few more sequins, and you can see how they just add that extra detail!

Hi! I'm popping back in today to share a cute Get Well card using an adorable Kitty Bee Designs Get Well Soon Panda 1 Digital Stamp. How can tiny bandaids be so darn cute?!! I'm still having fun using the awesome Paige Evans Pick Me Up papers and thought they'd be perfect with this cute card, making anyone who's under the weather feel a little bit better. I coloured this panda cutie with coloured pencils and added Glossy Accents to the little bandaid and cast to add some dimension before cutting him out on a YNS Stitched Tag Die. I really love how quick and easy this guy can be coloured up with a little shading.
I used a sentiment from Pretty Cute Stamps on a Spellbinders Tab Die along with a few cute Pretty Pink Posh heart stamps, which I also added Glossy Accents to. I really love the Bamboo Stencil from Little Birdie Crafts - it worked great with some Evergreen Bough Distress Ink to add a bit more colour to the tag. A beautiful Little Birdie Crafts handmade paper flower and some SpiegelMom Scraps sequins finish off this bright and colourful card.
Inside I used another sentiment from Pretty Cute Stamps and stamped three more tiny hearts.

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you! It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #112 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!
Challenge #112
Anything Goes
Optional Love/Marriage
Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge:
For this challenge I'm using a pretty digi image from Bugaboo Stamps - Live Laugh Love Rose Block. I wanted to create a vintage mixed media tag using this image, so I grabbed some fun supplies and got inky! I printed the digi image onto white cardstock and coloured in the flowers, butterflies and leaves with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers (alcohol based) before using Distress Inks to sponge a blended ink layers over the background. I heated the image first with my heat gun to help prevent ink bleeding. Then, I added Versamark Ink over top and shook on clear UTEE, which is a thick embossing powder. I layered on 3 coats of the UTEE, heating and melting the powder each time, and then after it cooled completely I bent it carefully in different directions to add vintage cracks in the surface.
I started out by stenciling the background of a black chalkboard paper tag with Distress Oxide Inks for a subtle hint of colour. Then I used a craft stencil from Little Birdie Crafts and some of their Wild Wasabi paint to add some pretty leaves over the background.
I inked up the edges of some Canvas Corp Brands Tan & Ivory French Script paper to tuck behind the digi stamp and then layered it over a piece of tissue from my stash and a pretty floral Tim Holtz diecut from the Botanical collection. The Vintage Tim Holtz Collage Medium was a great glue and added a subtle sepia tone to the ephemera I glued down. A piece of green jute twine from Little Birdie Crafts ties a pretty bow at the top and a lovely Architextures Findings Vintage Key hangs down. I think this sentiment is probably a very important 'key' to a happy marriage... 😉
Hello! I'm over at the Kitty Bee Designs Blog today sharing these adorable little Valentine Pocket Tags using the Super Bun Valentine Digital Stamp . I think my girls will adore finding these on Valentines Day with a few sweet treats tucked into the pockets!
I keep a box of Valentine themed papers and goodies in my craft room and was excited to find these sweet little My Mind's Eye pockets that I thought would be perfect to turn into little tags!
I coloured in these adorable digi bunnies with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers, which are alcohol based, and then cut them out using a Stitched Square Kaisercraft Die. I added a little Tim Holtz chit chat sticker to the middle of the heart and then layered it on a piece of BoBunny paper diecut with a Pretty Pink Posh scalloped die.
I stamped the Pretty Cute Stamps Valentine sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and cut that out with a Waffle Flower Patched Layers Die. A little pink Distress Oxide Ink added a bit of colour around the edge of the sentiment and onto the pretty burlap Little Birdie Crafts flower. (you can check out the unboxing video of these flowers to see more in the collection!)
I added a pretty button and some pink ribbon from a BoBunny Ephemera Pack - I've been loving the assortment of papers, buttons, ribbons and stickers in these packs! Great for crafting on the go too.
I had some ombre coloured doilies that I had picked up at Michaels a while ago and tucked these under the diecuts and the bunny image. I love the look of the layers and the stitched dies!
