Nuts About You Shaker Card

Happy Saturday everyone! Paulina over at Pretty Pink Posh invited everyone to hop along with her by making a shaker card, and seeing as I have massive amounts a bit of her sequins, I just had to join!

I inked up the adorable squirrel from the 'Cheeky' stamp set made by Sweet Stamp Shop (such cute stamps!) and colored him in with my Spectrum Noirs. Add some sequins, a bit of patterned paper, and voila!

kinda nuts about you

Ohhhhh the shakey goodness!! (What, that's a word.)

Wheeeeee!

Hello little squirrel

Wouldn't you want to get this in the mail?

I had so much fun making this card. If you're curious about how I did it, Pretty Pink Posh has a fabulous video up on their YouTube channel all about it. The secret is in the foam tape... ;)

Happy Crafting!

Bunches of Love Card

Happy Thursday everyone! Almost to the end of the week and Easter goodness. I snuck into the craft room the other day to play with my new Stamp of the Week from Unity and made a 'just because' card for my Gram. She's as addicted to strawberries as I am to coffee, so this really fit!

Bunches of (strawberry) love

I'm hungry just looking at these berries. Seriously. I pulled out a pad of MME 6x6 paper and went to town stamping the berries & stems, then fussy-cutting them out. The patterned gray paper was from MME as well, then backed with a lovely deep red card stock. The sentiment was stamped with the Ranger embossing pad then embossed with the Black Soot distress embossing powder.

I added dimension to the stems with one of my Spectrum Noir pens, then coated the berries with Crystal Lacquer to give them some shine. A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh and this card was ready to mail!

Thanks for stopping by today, and happy crafting!

I spread out my collection of stamps to see what I was going to use this time, and my little creative brain looked at the Scallop Circle stamp a little differently:

Buttons & bows & washi, oh my!

I stamped the scalloped circle at varying heights in different colors of Memento inks, then colored them in with my Spectrum Noir pens. The stems & leaves were added with a green Spica glitter pen, and then they were 'planted' in the polka dot washi grass.

Twine bows - divine!

Some buttons for the centers and twine bows made these flowers complete. A bit of Distress Ink for the sky and this card was done!

I hope you enjoyed this month's card! Now you're off to Pattie's blog to continue the fun.

Birthday Kitties Card

Good morning everyone! Welcome to another DeNami blog hop where this month we're having fun with fuzzy friends. You should have arrived from Tammy's blog. Remember if you get lost along the way to head on back to the DeNami blog for the full list of hoppers.

I was so excited when the theme this month was announced as that meant I got to pull my kitties back out again! I decided that it was time for a birthday card:

Happy birthday kitty!

I decided to set it up as comic panels showing this little gray kitten celebrating her birthday! Lots of stamping and fussy-cutting with coloring using my Spectrum Noir markers. Because really, what's better than a best friend with your favorite toys?

The teal paper was treated with Heidi Swap Color Shine in Tinsel

Pretty Pink Posh glitter makes everything better

Dreaming of yarn and mice; ooo, what's in the present?

Oh my, it's my bff! And she brought me yarn and mice! Best. Birthday. Ever.

Hope you enjoyed the card today! I know I had fun creating it. Next you're off to Stacey's blog! Here's a reminder of the blog hop fun:
