Spring Card with Doodles Paper Playground

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a cute spring card for you featuring Spring Fling and

 Flower Power Sparkle Blends.

Spring Fling

With Easter just around the corner, 

pastels are all the rage in the crafting world, 

and this blend delivers! 

With a beautiful base of pastel pink, lavender, green,

 light gold & blue, metallic cup sequins 

and a generous amount of tiny pastel heart confetti, 

but we also added a touch of whimsy with pastel 

colored butterflies and 

beautiful faceted crystals. 

Flower Power

For a floral fanatic, this blend is perfect! 

We skipped the usual cupped sequins in favor of nothing but 

flowers in this bright, happy blend!

 Flower styles range from simple daisies to 

tropical fimo slices and holographic blooms.

I also use March's Sketch from White Rose Crafts LLC. which is part of this month challenge in the Facebook Group Gallery - 

Here is my card

Love you More Card with A2Z Scrapbooking

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a CAS card.

This month we're using a Mood Board to inspire us

I am using the

  Instant Download Hero Arts Winged Friends DK033 Butterfly Digital Kit  

and Hero Arts Stamp & Cut LOVE Set DC175

I simply printed the digital download and cut the dragonfly I wanted to work with from the rest. Colored it in with some Arteza Real Brush Markers for a soft watercolor effect.  Then, Fussy cut it. Next, I die cut the word LOVE twice - once from plain white cardstock one once from Rinea Ruby Glossy Foil Paper. Stack and glued the layers to create a chipboard word. I stamped the sentiment You More on white cardstock and cut it into a thin strip. I adhered all the elements on to card front panel which measures 4" X 5-1/4" I made from tone on tone pink pattern paper and medium gray cardstock for a nice mat. I then stamped a few hearts for a dragonfly trail. Finished it all off with some small gray and pink sequins and a bit of Wink of Stella on the wings.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Celebrating Mardi Gras with Rinea Foil Paper

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun mask for Mardi Gras.

Featuring So Suzy Stamps Tulip Single Stamp. This month we're collaborating with So Suzy Stamps to create some inspiring projects for you.

Materials Used:

So Suzy Stamps Tulip Single Stamp

Rinea Violet Starstruck Foil Paper

Arteza Watercolor Brush Markers

Ranger Clear Embossing Powder

Tsukinneko Versafine Onyx Black Ink

Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock

Mask & Trim Dollar Tree 

Jewels: Pretty Pink Posh

Aleene's Tacky Glue

Heat Tool & Scissors

Let's get started!

I stamped the image 3x with versafine ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. (this is optional) onto Bristol smooth cardstock. I colored the images and trimmed them out once dry. 

I then traced the mask onto some copy paper and used it as a pattern to cut the Rinea Violet Starstruck foil paper. Next, I covered the mask with tacky glue and pressed the Violet Starstruck foil paper onto it. I trimmed away any extra paper - making sure that my edges were neat. I then adhered the colored Tulip images to the center and either side of the eye area of the mask. Next, I adhered some trim to the otter edge of the mask. 

For finishing touches, I adhered some jewel to the corners and around the eyes of the mask.

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day Card 

that you can even do with the kids. 

You can create several of these in no time at all. Perfect to send out to friends and family.

You create a cute little Shamrock with the wonderful Tear Drops.

Let's get started - First draw a simple shamrock onto green cardstock (optional). 

Then, adhere the Tear drops to the shamrock - but only to the top.

Set aside to dry. I added a bit of Distress Oxide ink to my stem- 

you can to this with a color pencil, marker, etc - this is optional. 

Next, on card front panel add a bit of Distress Oxide Ink in Bundled Sage

 (any green ink will work) in a circle making the center dark and fading out the color.

Then, add some spatters with Heidi Swapp Colorshine (any gold ink, watercolor etc will work). Allow the card front panel to dry completely. 

*Note** you can use your heat tool to speed up the process.

While your panel is drying stamp your sentiment onto white cardstock, trim and add some foam adhesive to the back. Once your front panel is dry adhere it onto dark green cardstock. 

Then, place your sentiment onto the card. 

Now, your card is complete! Quick and easy.

Stuck On You with Doodles Paper Playground

Hello Crafty Friends - I am  here with a puny card.

I know that we can always tell those we care about how 

we feel about them throughout the year. We can even do it in a puny way. 

I created this using the New Released Mardi Gras Sparkle Blend. 

A bright, joyous combination of purple, green and gold sequins in finishes ranging from 

matte to holographic, speckled with stars, golden confetti and sliced Fimo feathers 

in coordinating shades. This blend will be useful far beyond its namesake.

I stamped the cacti with Versafine Onyx Black onto Bristol Smooth Cardstock and colored the images with Arteza Real Brush Markers. I finished them off with a bit of Gellyroll Gold Gel Pen. 

Thank you for stopping by the blog today! 

Spring Inspired Flowering Lattice Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a lovely Lattice card.

This card has an open front panel - However, you can place a colored cardstock 

behind the lattice for a different look.

To create this card you will need an A2 card base and a piece of cardstock measure 4-1/4" X 5-1/2".

On the extra panel die cut the lattice.  

Next, on the card base measure a 1/8"  from the score of the card. 

I did a light pencil line for you to see. 

Now, trim off the card base front panel.

Next, adhere the lattice to card base.

Your card should look like this - with a see through front panel. 

Next, die cut several flowers and leaves.

I like to do what I call a dry run for placement of the flowers and leave so I get a general idea if I like the look of where everything will be.

Once, I like the placement. I adhere the flowers and leaves in place.

Next, I add a bit of Nuvo Drops to the centers of the flowers. **Note - you can add Liquid Pearls, Stickles or any other embellishment you would like to the centers.

Now, the card is complete. You can add a sentiment if you would like. 

I like having blank cards like this in my stash. 

This way I can use them for Birthdays, Mother's Day, 

Easter or Just thinking of you cards.

I hope you give this card a try.
