White Gel Pen

Colored Fine Tip Markers - I used Sharpie

Zig Wink of Stella Glitter Pen

Instructions:

1.  On the 4" X 5" & 4-1/2" X 4-1/2" - Cream card stock - stamp the donut using the brown ink. Making sure to cover the entire paper. Stamping some of the donut just off the paper so that you have a continuous pattern. Then using your coloring materials color in all the donuts. I enjoy coloring the glaze and sprinkles area in different colors. Optional - I also colored over some of the sprinkles with different colored markers and a white gel pen.  

2. The donut of the 4-1/2 X 4-1/2 card stock cut it out after you colored it. Optional - I used Zig Wink of Stella Glitter pen to give it a sugar sparkle. Reserve the rest of the card stock for the banners.

3. Now, create your card base by cutting your 8-1/2" X 11" Piece of  Heavy weight (110 lb) White colored card stock in half - I cut mine long way so I have a top folding card measuring 4-1/4" X 11"
Fold in half, using the bone folder to get a crisp crease. Then, adhere the 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" Piece of Kraft colored card stock to the base. Next, adhere your 4" X 5"Piece of Cream colored card stock with colored donut images centered on top of the Kraft card stock.

4. On the back of the small donut - put foam adhesive and place on top of one of the donuts. I chose the top left.  Next, I stamped my sentiment on the remaining cream card stock and cut it into 2 banners which I fishtailed the ends. I adhere the banners underneath the popped up donut.

Now for the Shaker Donut Card:

Supply list for this card are:

Simply Stamps Donut Stamp

1 - 4" X 5" Piece of Kraft colored card stock

1 - 2-1/4" X 2-1/4" Piece of Kraft colored card stock- for your extra donut.

1 - 5" X 5" Piece of  White color card stock

1 -  8-1/2" X 11" Piece of  Heavy weight (110 lb) White colored card stock for card base.

1 - 1" X 6" Piece of cream colored card stock - For your banner

Ink-I used Colorbox Pigment ink in Brown & Various color ink Which can be purchased at Simply Stamps

Coloring materials - watercolors, Copic Markers, color pencils, Distress Markers Etc.

Sequins - Various colors & sizes

Acetate Plastic for shaker front. I used a recycled adhesive packaging,  

Adhesive - tape runner, liquid & dimensional foam tape

Trimmer

Scissors

Bone Folder

Craft knife

Sentiment stamp or Letter stickers.

Cleaning pad 

Optional Supplies:

White Gel Pen

Colored Fine Tip Markers - I used Sharpie

Zig Wink of Stella Glitter Pen

Donut stickers

Instructions:
1. On the 4" X 5" Kraft card stock - stamp the donut using the brown ink. Making sure to cover the entire paper. Stamping some of the donut just off the paper so that you have a continuous pattern. Then, Using your various color ink repeat the steps above.

Note: I stamped more than I needed. I was making more card.

Then using your coloring materials color in all the donuts. I enjoy coloring the glaze and sprinkles area in different colors. Optional - I also colored over some of the sprinkles with different colored markers and a white gel pen.  Then cut out only the glaze part of the donuts set aside.

2. The stamp donut on the 2-1/4" X 2-1/4"  Kraft card stock cut it out after you colored it. Optional - I used Zig Wink of Stella Glitter pen to give it a sugar sparkle.

3. Now, create your card base by cutting your 8-1/2" X 11" Piece of  Heavy weight (110 lb) White colored card stock in half - i cut mine so it measures  5-1/2" X 8-1/2" Fold in half, using the bone folder to get a crisp crease. Set a side.

4. On the now donut covered and colored Kraft card stock I traced the plastic adhesive packaging. Note: if you are creating this with acetate - then you would cut the shape you desire and then follow the next step.  I then use my craft knife to cut out the circle.

Then, I turned over my Kraft card stock with the circle cut out and put adhesive on the back all along the edge of the opening. I then put the plastic into the opening from the back. This way I have a nice clean look. Keep the center that you just cut out. You will be using it.

Next, I adhere the colored glaze piece to the donut bases. Note: I should have adhered them first and then cut my circle but, I didn't. Would have been much easier.  

 5. Now,  on the card base center the cut it piece (from before) adhere one of the glaze to the donut and then adhere to base.  Then, place the sequins on top of it.

Optional: I used some cute donut stickers for the shaker inside. I place the stickers on a piece of white card stock the cut them out. You don't have to do this part. I just wanted to show you where the little donuts came from.

Next, adhere the card front to the base - making sure that you have plenty of adhesive foam around the back of the plastic piece so that the sequins do not fall out.  On the back of the small donut - put foam adhesive and place on top of one of the donuts. I chose the bottom right.  Next, I stamped my sentiment on the 1" X 6" Piece of cream colored card stock  and cut it into a banner which I fishtailed the ends. I adhere the banner underneath the shaker donut. 

Now your cards are complete! Give them to someone special.

Over on the Sunsational Stamps Blog we're doing Christmas in July Challenge.

I used the Oh, Christmas Tree digital stamp which you can get here.  I live in Sunny Florida so our Christmas is more sunny than snowy. We make Sandmen not snowmen. Or in this case Sand-People. I use my children's favorite colors for their hats. I also decorated the tree with sequins. I flip them over to give a more Christmas ornament feel.

Are you feeling festive yet?  Join the Christmas in July Challenge !

My Hubby is really supporting my new design team work. He bought me these wonderful card magazines. Which came with beautiful stamps and dies; along with amazing ideas.

Then, my mother's day gift arrived. I new it would be late we agree to do gifts for mother & father's day late this year. We had other things going on during that time. I am very excited about the 150 Prismacolor Premier Color Pencil Set!!! Oh, I also got blending pencils and eraser with it. I also got my tech on with an external hard drive. So, I can start creating videos(Yikes!!! - I can do it!?! Right?!?) and other stuff.



I told you so exciting for me. I am also working on my DT cards and layouts; getting ready for the start date of July 1st for most of them. I already started with Jo's Scrap Shack.

We have amazing challenges and prizes be sure to check it out. Jo's Scrap Shack Fun-day Friday Challenges

It's been a fun filled and exciting couple of weeks for me. I was chosen for Creative Inspirations Design Team, Jo's Scrap Shack Design Team  (I already started) & now I was offered a spot on the Koala T Crafts Blog Design Team.

I won a Prize from Kraftgali! (See post below)  and then, my hubby treated me to some fun shopping. At Michaels - I was so happy to find some Distress Oxide Ink pads. I also got some stamps, stencils, flair, wood veneer alpha & coffee cups, stickers, storage boxes - not shown, alcohol marker -( Mike's brand to try out) & lots of adhesive. Which is not enough - there's never enough adhesive.

I hope you are have a good month, week, day, hour! I hope to be post a project real soon.

I am so excited!! I was one of several winners of a giveaway Kraftgali was having on Instagram and Facebook. I always try out for these type of giveaways. I usually don't win. So, when I won - I was surprised and over the moon.

Kraftgali's shop offers a variety of stamps, dies and other wonderful things for card making. I won a gift certificate to the shop. I of course went right over and redeemed it.

I ordered the following:

Avery Elle Cool Treats Stamps & Die Set



Avery Elle - Birthday Bus Stamps & Die Set


Lawn Fawn - Party Animal Stamps



Sunny Studios - Oceans of Joy & Die Set

 

All I have to say is wow the stamps arrived so quickly and I am so happy with them and the services. If you are interested in purchasing so stamps, dies or other goodies please stop by Kraftgali.com

I am so excited to finally be able to share this news. I have been honored by Creative Inspirations to be on their Design Team. I have meet everyone on the team and these ladies are super sweet and so talented.

I haven't been on here because I have been visiting Goldie. Let me tell you a bit about Goldie, She is just perfect. Goldie is the nickname for my craft room. It's because I use to craft in our walk in closet of our apartment when my hubby and I first lived together. I just made do - It was my little spot.

Then, over the years I got a spot or I should say corner of our living room in our rent house. Some corners where bigger than others but much bigger that the walk in closet. Now, in our house which we bought about 2 years ago. I have a craft room. It's the perfect amount of room. Not too small and not too big. Just like the in 3 bears story. One was to big, one was to lumpy and finally one was just right. So, hubby and I nicknamed my space Goldie. Because well the " just right size bed" seemed a bit weird. 

Now, that you have a bit of back story. I've been hanging out over at Goldie's and creating cards and layouts. I will share some here in the next few days. 

Here is one of the cards I created. I used a digital from Yumpuff - (creates lots of cute chibi  & other style images), A Fiskars stamp - (coffee beans & sentiment), and Tim Holtz stencil. Colored the image with Faber-Castell - Color pencils, Tim Holtz Distress Ink for the background, colorbok- blue dot paper and added a puffy heart on the mug & few sequins. 

   

Thanks for stopping by I appreciate it. Leave me a comment or link me to your latest project.

I created this card a few days ago. It was a lot of fun to create. I used a free chibi image from Yumpuff. I colored her with color pencils and blended out with baby oil. I added a some more details with a black fine tip Sharpie. I then used a free digital kit that I printed out for the rest of the card. I add some washi tape, enamel dots & Zig Wink of Stella to finish off the card.
