Easter Canvas with The Robin's Nest

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with an Easter Mini Canvas. 

This canvas features the Dew, Diamond and Tear Drops; along with some chipboard ephemera.

To create this canvas I painted the canvas and set aside to dry. Then, I stamped the sentiment onto the ephemera card - set aside. Next, I die cut the oval shape from white cardstock and adhered the Dew Drops onto it. 

Once, the canvas was dry I adhered the Easter egg onto the canvas. I adhere a piece of the doily to the top of the ephemera card and one to the bottom of the card. Next, I added foam adhesive to the back of the ephemera card and place it onto the canvas. Finally, I adhered a butterfly Dew Drop to the left corner of the canvas.

Friendship Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I have a cute card for you today.

This card came together rather quickly. I started by stamping my images and gathering my dies. I did this to be sure that my dies would fit around my images and my card. I had the idea in my head so I was really hoping that everything would fit. Gladly it did.

Next, I ran the Honeycomb die using an embossing mat through my die cutting machine with medium yellow cardstock. I wanted the embossed look not to cut all the way through. Then, I used the hexagon dies in the two sizes I want and cut them from the honeycomb background. I set them to the side to color my image.

Once, I had my image colored I wanted the cool honeycomb background to show behind the bear and bee so I trimmed away the area behind them. *note: you can use scissors for this part - I just used my craft knife. I also trimmed my card front panels the white cardstock measures 4" X 5-1/4" and the medium gray is 4-1/4" x 51/2" (same as my card base).

Next, I adhered the card front to the mat and then the hexagons. The larger one for the image and smaller one for the sentiment; which are mounted onto low profile foam adhesive. 

Then, I added a few confetti sequins and flower sequins. to the center of the flowers, I added a tim=ny black heart.  I also added a few dots of metallic gold gel pen to the image flowers and some white highlights to the bee and bear.

Celebrate Everyday Card with A2Z Scrapbooking

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a simple card featuring

the Hero Arts Digital Stamps Poetic Petals 

I created a card using the open Tulip from the Hero Arts Digital Stamps Poetic Petals  I printed it out on the larger size so to take up the front of my card.

Since this month's challenge is Color It. I figured I would show you the coloring. Usually, don't. I started with the stem of the tulip. Colored it with shades of green. Next, I did the base of the tulip in shades of orange. Then, I blended some shades of yellows on the top of the tulip.

     

Next, I fussy cut the tulip out and added some foam adhesive behind the tulip. I added it to a 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" piece of black cardstock. I then stamped my sentiment from Hero Arts CL498 Celebrate Stamp set with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Gold powder. I Next, I added a few confetti sequins for finishing touch along with some metallic gold gel pen detailing in the center of the tulip.

You're Super Sweet Card with Doodles Paper Playground

Hello Crafty Friends -  I am here with a fun shaker card featuring the Sweet Treats Sparkle Blends

This card is full of sweet treat inside and out. I created a mini bag full of candy treats.

Sparkle Blends: Sweet Treat 

A pastel blend of sprinkle shaped beads,

artificial Fimo sprinkles, hearts, stars, 

cup sequins, iridescent crystals and 

cupcake & ice cream cone shaped Fimo shapes

is a fun addition to any birthday card or project!

Here's my card with the Sparkle Blends at the bottom of the mini treat bag. 

Showing the Sparkle Blends

So, let's get started on the card.

First, I stamped and colored the images from Skull and Cross Buns Retro Sweeties Stamp set. 

Then, die cut a window in my mini treat bag using a small square die. 

I added a piece of chipboard inside of the bag so not to cut through the bag.

Next, I adhered clear plastic to the die cut square. 

I used a piece of packaging, slid it into the bag and glue it in place.

Then, I adhered some of the little Retro Candy stamped images to the inside of the mini bag. Next, I fill the bag with the Sparkle Blends: Sweet Treat and I added a bit of Recollections Brand Glitz glitter. Seal up the mini treat bag.

 

Then, I matted white cardstock onto medium purple cardstock for my card front. I adhered the mini treat bag to the card front and embellished with the rest of the colored images. I stamped sentiment onto white cardstock and colored the word SWEET with some Distress Markers and matted it onto black cardstock. Then, I adhered the sentiment on foam adhesive.

 Now the card is complete! 

This is a fun and colorful card perfect for your sweetie, a child and a friend.

Spring Cottage with Simply Crafty SVG

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Spring project.

I turned the Love Shack SVG from Simply Crafty SVG into a cut Spring Cottage. Now, this little house is a gift box. So, you can place a small gift inside for a loved one or you can fill it with some sweets and place it on your coffee table or desk.

I created the little house as per the directions provided with the download from Simply Crafty SVG.
I love that Sandy provide both easy to follow PDF and Video for all the SVG projects on the site.

I simply changed my colors to Springtime colors and added a few extra embellishments like die cut grass, flowers, butterflies, bird, tiny cat & tree. I also added a few stamped images like the potted plants on the front porch and the bird fountain on the back of the house. I also added some curtain from pattern paper.

The back 

Some close up details of the roof, windows & Butterfly

I hope you create a Springtime Cottage of your own.
