Lawn Fawn Treat Box

Hi!

As January winds down, I find myself looking 

forward to February and that means Valentines! 

Here's what I made:

A valentine treat box.

I'm entering this in challenge #21 on the LAWN FAWNatics Challenge Blog.

Here's the inspiration board:

I was inspired by the pinks and the reds and the heart shapes.

I used:

Lawn Fawn -Scalloped Treat Box Die

Lawn Fawn - Tiny Tags Sayings ( stamp and dies)

Lawn Fawn - Jump for Joy stamp set

MFT Die-Namics - stitched rounded rectangle stax

( to cut out the window ) 

plastic packaging scrap ( also for the window)

foam tape ( to pop up the critter)

 and pink baker's twine

colored with Copics (YR18, E09)

and filled with red Hershey Kisses!

It was all I could do to NOT eat those kisses!!

'till next time,

Doni

Thinking of you

Hi !

Time for a new code word from Addicted To Clean and Simple.

 

Our hostess for this challenge is the terrifically talented Barb and she 

chose the word "Ombre"

 

 

Here's my card:

 

 

I began by stamping the sentiment ( Sending Happy Thoughts stamp set)

 from Simon Says Stamp with VersaMark and sprinkling on 

white embossing powder.

 

 I used My Favorite Things Layered Heart Die-Namics

to cut a stencil and then centered the heart over the sentiment.

Next came Candy Apple Distress ink . 

I started blending at the top and when I got to the sentiment , all this white stuff got all over my blending tool!! Duh...I had forgotten to heat emboss the lettering! 

So, I started all over again! this time it went a lot better, 

 except there was this little tiny speck 

right above the heart. 

Of course your eye went right to it and it really bugged me,

so.. a few tiny sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were needed to hide the speck!

Whew! Calling this card done before  I have time to mess it up any more!  lol

Thanks for stopping by.

'till next time,

Celebrate

Hi!

I'd like to share with you a card I made for

Freshly Made Sketches

  Here's the sketch:

 

Here's what I used:

Hero Arts - stencil

Distress Inks- cracked pistachio, Peacock Feathers, 

Tumbled Glass, and Blueprint Sketch 

Spellbinders - classic diamonds

My Favorite Things - Die-Namics(celebrate)

I layered the celebrate the celebrate (3 layers- 2 white, 1 blue)

and offset the white a little behind the top blue.

 I think it added some much needed dimension.

I'm also linking this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

While I had my brain in the Blue mold...

I made this Baby shower card for my great niece's  shower tomorrow.

I had done a card like this awhile ago 

with different colors and flowers for a bridal shower.

Can you tell she's having a boy?! lol

Thanks for stopping by.

'till next time,

Love is in the air!

Another wave of bad weather is sweeping across Ohio again.

This morning I (and about a million other people) went

to the grocery store !  So now that I've stocked up enough to keep me and the 

two cats well fed until about April.....

Now I get to craft myself silly!

This is what I'm working on:

I used a Essentials by Ellen stamp set

a sentiment from Art Impressions

and patterned paper from a 6" Glitz Paper Pack

 

I'm linking this up to

CAS on Friday

and

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay warm!

 

'till next time,

Music

It's time for our first challenge of 2018!

Stephanie is our new designer, so it's only fitting that she 

is the hostess for the new year's first challenge.

She chose the word 'MUSIC'.

 

Here's my card:

 This cute little guy is a digi stamp 

from Sassy Cheryl called 'Don't stop the music'.

The sentiment is from Purple Onion Designs.

After I  got him the size I wanted, I printed him once on white 

cardstock and then again on scrap paper which I then fussy cut 

 and used as a mask.

Then I sponged ripe persimmon and mustard seed ( Distress Inks)

and then removed the mask.

Then colored him with Copics.

( E01,E41, E42, E44, E47, C2, and C7)

Thanks for stopping by!

'till next time,
