Today I am joining my friend, Kylie, to celebrate her bestie’s birthday! She throw a surprise link up party. Everyone is invited to this party!

My card today I made using a new stamp set I got this week, Bloosom Stamp Set from Precious Remembrance Shop.

I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black and colored it with CTMH Watercolor Pencils. Then I wet them with watercolor brush. Then I stamp the sentiment with Gypsy Exclusive Ink Stamp Pad.

I added American Craft Glitter Paper as the mat and added some gems on the middle of the flowers for some bling.

I also link up this card at TIME OUT Challenge – CAS with optional twist of purple, which also dedicated to celebrate Sandie’s birthday 🙂

And my card is ready to send to her. Come and play with us. You can link up your card for Sadie until May 30th.

Thank You for visiting me today and have a fabulous weekend!

My friend asked me to make 20 Thank You cards for her and she wanted them by Sunday. So today, I sit down at my craft table and started to work on them.

So I pulled out my MISTI, Thank You theme stamp sets from Close To My Heart and Winnie and Walter, American Crafts assortment cards, and ink pad.

I stamped multiple labels for sentiments with MISTI and fussy cut them with Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors.

Then I added them on the American Crafts assortment cards. These cards already have gorgeous pattern and I only need to embellish them with sentiment and sequins.

I made 20 cards in a day. Love them all. Here some of them:

On these one-layer cards, I stamped the sentiment from The Big, The Bold and You (Winnie & Walter) with MISTI and then dressed them up with some silver sequins I got from Hobby Lobby.

And on these set of cards, I used several stamp sets from Close To My Heart. I embellished them with gold thread, paper doily and some silver sequins.

I must say this MISTI tool is great tool for mass-producing 🙂

What is your favorite crafting tool?

Thank You for visiting my blog today and have a fabulous day!

STAMPlorations May Theme and Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the Technique Blog Hop. This month we will showcase an interactive element (or more) on your layout, card, or other item! You can include a pocket, slide out, tabs, etc.

There so many tutorials out there you can find how to create interactive cards, layouts, and other projects. And this month we have 11 participants that sharing the projects with you. So, if you are here from Michelle, you are on the right tract 🙂 But if you are here, you can continue hopping to the next blog to make the loop.

I found this video tutorial how to make this fun push-and-pull card (or watch here):

And this is my Push ‘n’ Pull Card using Celebrate with Cake—May Stamp of the Month and Happy Times Paper Packet:

Here are the close up of the pull tab and the push tab. I added a piece of Black & Gold Ribbon with Liquid Glass and secured it on the top of the pull tag with Mini Stapler.

The for the cake tier, I stamped them with Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad, colored them with Watercolor Pencils and Blending Pen.

For the flowers, I stamped them with VersaMark™ Ink Pad on Watercolor Paper, added some Ranger™ Princess Gold Embossing Powder and heat set them with Craft Heater. Then I colored them with Watercolor Paints using wet flat Paintbrush.

I fussy cut those flowers when they dried completely with Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors and added on the cake with some mini glue dots.

And I decorated the front of the card with Happy Times Paper Packet and the sentiment is from Celebrate with Cake—May Stamp of the Month that I stamped on a strip of White Daisy Cardstock with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and Saffron Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad, cut it with Non-stick Micro-tip Scissors and added on the front card with adhesive runner.

My card based size is 5.5″ x 4.25 that fits perfectly in the regular A2 envelope. You do not want to decorate the inside panels too bulky so they will slide perfectly when you pull them. I avoid to much embellishment on the front card because the surprise is the inside panels when the recipient pull it also I think the gold and gorgeous flower papers from the Happy Times Paper Packet is just enough.

Your next hop is Danielle’s blog to see her project. THANK YOU for stopping by 🙂 Have a fun blog-hopping!

Take It Make It Challenge: May

Today I am sharing 2 cards from 1 designs. These are cards for babies: for a baby boy and a baby girl.

On both cards I used the Box – Nice and Neat Die from Neat and Tangled. I cut the box out of White Cardstock and cut the patter paper using the same die. When I assembled them, I added the patterned papers on the outside layer of the box. Then I heat-embossed the sentiment from Diploma Day (CTMH-retired) on a piece of Vellum Paper using VersaMark Ink Pad and Ranger Gold Embossing Powder, then fussy cut them. I added the vellum sentiment on the box using Tombow Vellum Adhesive. I love the script “Congratulations” 🙂

I used the Little Boy Blue paper pad and Little Bo Peep paper pad from Crate Paper for the background papers. I added the paper doily, and then the box on the paper doily. I added some tissue papers for some extra accent for the cards.

I kindda like the simplicity of these cards yet they have some layering too 🙂

Hopefully you also like these cards I made today! Thank You for visiting and have a fabulous day!

We have been having rain a couple of days every week. The part of the Ohio River in our area is getting full. But we hope to have more sunshine this coming week. I still love Spring in Ohio.

I found couple quotes about rain and rainbow that I love:

source: Goodreads

source: Skinny Mom

source: The Organised House Wife

So, today’s card is a simple and clean with super colorful and rainbow-y background, inspired by the rain and rainbow quotes and the Inspiration Nation 2016 – Day 3 mood board at the Stamp Nation.

On this card, I used the stamp, die & texture embossing folder from Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations – Coffee Time.

I embossed a piece of CTMH Watercolor Paper using the embossing folder set. Then I scribble some of the Tim Holtz® Distress Crayons Set 1 (Bright Colors) on my craft mat and sprayed from water. I used paintbrush to mixed the crayons and water until they mixed well and no more chunks, I dipped the embossed watercolor paper on the crayon inks.

I set it aside to dry. While it was dying, I stamped the cup and sentiment with Vintage Photo Distress Ink Pad, then I cut it with the matching dies. When the background paper dried well, I added it on the card base using adhesive runner.

And then, I cut a strip of vellum paper and added it on the card with Tombow Vellum Adhesive runner. Final step, I added the cup and sentiment on the vellum with 3D foam tape.

The card is done. I love working with kits, and this stamp, die and embossing folder set is a great set to create projects, especially if you love coffee theme projects 😀

Thank you so much for visiting me today and I hope you all enjoy this card, too! HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!
