You got this!

Hi!

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

  Susan is our hostess and she chose the code word Girl Power

.

 Here's my take on it:

 

I'm sending this to a friend who is taking a Stats Class that she has been dreading.

...just a little confidence builder!

Here's what I used :

Mama Elephant - Tiny Heroes Stamp set

Simon Says Stamp dies -  Stitched Circles and Holiday Shapes

My Favorite things - 6x6 paper pack black & white stripes 

Vellum 

White embossing powder

Copic Markers

Thanks for looking.

'till next time,

Butterflies

 

Hi!

The challenge at the Double D's Blog Challenge is to use butterflies. 

They gave us this mood board for inspiration:

 

 

I liked the color combo that's on the upper right square.

This morning I got out my distress inks and water spritzer

and played around using the colors, 

mermaid lagoon, peacock feathers, mowed lawn, and mustard seed.

 

When I got done  I was not impressed! It pretty much looked like a big ole mess!

However, the butterflies I die cut from that mess turned out really nice!  go figure! 

 

Here's the card I made:

I used clear Wink of Stella on the butterflies, 

but you can't see the sparkle in the picture.

Supplies:

Distress Inks (colors listed above)

Memory Box - Isabella Butterfly Die

Wink of Stella - Clear

Lawn Fawn - Stitched Hillside Borders

Detail White Embossing Powder

Stampin' Up - Rose Wonder (sentiment)

Thanks so much for stopping by.

'till next time,

Frame it!

Good morning!

I'd like to share 2 cards I made yesterday.

On the first one I used very soft colors .

I just love this blue footed boobie bird!

The stamp is by Dina Kowal for Impression Obsession stamps.

The next card is a CASE of a card I saw on instagram by Yolanda Garrido.

Here's her card:

 and here's my CASE:

 

This cute peeking panda is a digi stamp, from

Gerta Steiner. You can get it HERE.

Both these cards fit Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge 

for this week which is...Frame It!

Thanks for looking.

Rainbow Cupcakes

Hi!

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

  Barb is our hostess and she chose the code word RAINBOW.

  

 

I was hungry and naturally my mind went to sweets! lol

So, we have rainbow cupcakes!

 

And the inside: 

 

I heat embossed the greeting ( white detail embossing powder) on

 a black strip. Then I added a very thin border of black & white stripe paper

just because I thought it looked better with than without!

The cupcake stamp is from Lawn Fawn (baked with love)

and colored with Copics. 

The inside sentiment is from Stampendous.

To dress up the cupcakes, I used clear Wink of Stella on the tops.

then I remembered these tiny seed beads that I got from

Queen & Co. to use in shaker cards and they just happened

 to come in 6 rainbow colors! Bonus!!

I glued them on with a little Glossy Accents.

I think it turned out kinda cute. Hope you like it.

'till next time,

Doni
