Lawn Fawn card

Sorry about that last post. It's really hard to write posts on my phone and I haven't had much of a chance to get on my computer lately. I went away last weekend to a crop for the whole weekend! So I have lots of stuff to share in the near future.

First, I made this card for the latest Lawn Fawn lawnscaping challenge

The challenge this week was to use your favorites. I'm loving these echo park papers and especially the cork adhesive backed paper from DCWV that I used for the log. 

eyelet outlet back to school card

I made this card for eyelet outlet using their bling strips along with some Unity stamps from their stamp of the month club

Joy's life nature card

This week the Joy's Life team is working on cards inspired by nature! I chose this little eyelet outlet owl brad as inspiration. 

The sentiment is from the Wild Life Puns set. The washi tape is also from eyelet outlet.

the ink and mist are from clearsnap. The die is from memory box and the paper is doodlebug.

Great Impressions Guest Designer

I am so excited to be guest designing for Great Impressions this month!

I made two cards with these adorable stamps! I definitely could have kept going because I had so much fun! For this first card, I used watercolor pencils to color the image. For the sand, I masked the penguin feet and then blended a couple colors of ink to create variation. Next I used a mask and a slightly darker ink to add the dots, which I then embossed with opalescent clear embossing powder to create a little bit of glimmer, which doesn't show up very well in this photo. Additionally, I added glossy accents to the inner tube, sunglasses and bow, which also doesn't show up well in this photo.

Supplies:

Great Impressions Beachy Penguins stamp

Faber Castell watercolor pencils

Clearsnap inks and embossing powders

Ranger Glossy accents

Crafter's Workshop stencil

SRM stickers sentiment

Studio G brad

For this card, I wanted to make the image stand out from the rest of the card, so I fussy cut it. I colored this one with watercolor pencils and alcohol ink markers. The double frame really sets off the image.

Supplies

Great Impressions Peek-A-Boo stamp

Bazzill Cardstock

SRM sticker sentiment

Faber Castell watercolor pencils

Prismacolor and Copic markers

Spellbinders dies

Glitz and Carta Bella papers

Clearsnap ink

joy's life back to school project

Today I have a Joy's Life Back to school project to share with you! I thought this would be fun to put in a lunch box filled with treats or fruit snacks or whatever. I used several stamps because I thought my daughter would get a kick out of the puns.

I used four sayings from the Punny Animals stamp set. 

The papers and Washi tape are from Doodlebug. The brads are Eyelet Outlet. The ink is clearsnap. I started with an explosion box that some perfume came in. I recovered it in blue cardstock then added the details.

Joy's Life Love Card

This week the Joy's Life Design team is having a FREE FOR ALL!

I love combining my Joy's Life stamp sets, so I grabbed the Mother Daughter set and the Joyful Hearts set to create this fun card!

I stamped the heart from the Joyful Hearts set using a multicolor Clearsnap ink pad. The sentiment, from the Mother and Daughter set, is stamped in black Clearsnap ink.

The patterned paper, die cut and washi tape are all from Glitz. I applied the washi tape to the sides of the patterned paper, so that it was half on and half off, then I trimmed the half that was hanging off.

Runway Inspired Card

I created this card for a friend who likes pink and sparkle. The Runway Inspiration was pretty much perfect for this! I happened to have scraps of this tiffany blue and silver swirl paper laying on my desk and I just took it from there.

Here is the inspiration

and here is my take

The cardstock is Coredinations. The sentiment sticker is SRM. The silver swirl paper is Recollections. 

Joy's life watermelon card!

This week the Joy's Life team is using WATERMELON as inspiration for our projects! I have to admit, I was a little intimidated with this assignment. I had no idea where to begin! Then I decided to make a watermelon slice. Now, I just adore this card!

I used the 'Seeds the day' stamp from the That Tastes Punny set. I created the watermelon by hand, using a rain drop punch for the seeds. The papers are Doodlebug. I put glossy accents on the seeds to make them pop. I also used some foam tape under the watermelon to make it stand out. The ink is clearsnap. The cardstock is Bazzill.

Joy's Life Great Catch Card

This week at Joy's Life, we are focusing on cards that relate to the great outdoors. Of course I had to get out my Wild Life Puns set. 

I used the 'You're a GREAT CATCH' stamp on this masculine fishing card. The papers are a combination of My Mind's Eye and Simple Stories. The brad is from Eyelet Outlet. The ink is Clearsnap.

Eyelet Outlet and Art Impressions blog swap!

Today is the beginning of the Eyelet Outlet blog team-up with Art Impressions stamps! I am up today with this fun birthday card!

Viva Las VegaStamps! DT Tryout

I loved working with Viva Las Vegas stamps so much when the Clearsnap team did a swap with them, that I decided I had to give the design team call a go.

So, here is the project that I created with the Viva Las Vegas stamps from the Clearsnap\VLVS swap. This altered mini canvas (my first) is kind of out of the norm for me, but the stamps just inspired me so much to create this dr. who / sort of steampunk themed piece. It didn't turn out quite how I had it in my head, so I plan to give it, or something similar another go when I get a chance.

Lots of clearsnap products here - sprays, inks, smooch, etc. Even the phone booth is painted with clearsnap ink. All the stamps are Viva Las vegas.

This card uses one of my favorite Hero arts stamps; it's so versatile! Of course the inks are Clearsnap.

This one is a personal favorite of mine. The stripes remind me of gum drops! Impression Obsession butterfly stamp and Clearsnap inks, glitter and smooch accent ink. The sentiment is Hero Arts.

Joy's life Hero Blog Hop

Welcome to the Super and Everyday hero blog hop, featuring stamps from the Joy's Life My Hero stamp set. If you didn't come from Maria's blog, you might want to go back to the beginning because there are lots of prizes and inspiration.

I created this card with some Bazzill cardstock, some Clearsnap embossing powder and ink, my Joy's life stamp (of course) and ... drinking straws!

I glued the straws in a pattern on a scrap piece of paper then snipped the ends to create a straight line.

Clearsnap stephanie barnard card

I made this card for the Clearsnap Stephanie Barnard product spotlight. 

I used some Stephanie Barnard dye inks to stamp the branch, first in the lighter ink, then in the darker for the details. 

For the background, I stamped and embossed the design in clear, and then misted over it with the Stephanie Barnard dye ink spray in blueberry.

Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill

Stephanie Barnard for Clearsnap premium dye ink in Artichoke, spearmint and kettle

Stephanie barnard for clearsnap dye ink spray in blueberry

Top Boss embossing ink

Top Boss embossing powder

Other: Stamps of life by stephani barnard stamps

Hero arts stamps

Clearsnap Misted Starburst Card

Today I want to share this fun card that I created for Clearsnap using their Smooch Spritz mists and Crafter's Mini accent inks. I used a Crafter's Workshop mask for the background. The Crafter's ink minis are great because the color is opaque and covered the mist perfectly. I was glad that I didn't need to mask!

On this card, I started out by laying down the template and misting over it with gold Smooch spritz. Next, I stamped with Chalk ink, using the Impression Obsession and Hero arts stamps. Finally, I used the Crafter's Accent ink mini's to color in the stamped image. The Crafter's inks require heat to give them a permanent set, so I heated in between each color, to avoid smearing. I think I also heated after a couple of petals on the flower.

Supplies:

Crafter's ink mini 4 packs

Smooch Spritz Gold Glow

Clearsnap Colobox Chalk in in Blackbird

Hero Arts Sentiment Stamp

Impression Obsession stamp

Crafter's Workshop template

Bazzill Cardstock

Bo Bunny Clearsnap Layout

I took one look at the bright colors in the Bo Bunny double dot 6x6 pack and decided that it would go great with some Stephanie Barnard dye ink sprays. I had a little bit of altering to do, to get my title and flowers to all match, but the sprays and some crafter's ink did the trick!

I misted the flowers with the dye ink sprays to make them bright and fun!

For the title, I inked the back of the acrylic letters in 'chilling' with crafter's ink and then heat set it. That caused the acrylic to bend a little, but I like the funky look it gives.

I also misted the background cardstock with a combo of bubblegum and some splashes of guava.

Supplies:

Clearsnap Stephanie Barnard dye ink sprays in Bubblegum, Guava, Banana, and Tangerine.

Clearsnap Colorbox Crafter's Ink in Sweet Pea and spiced plum

Clearsnap Glue Gloss

Bo Bunny double dot soft shades 6x6 paper pack

Bo Bunny blossoms 

Bo Bunny acrylic alphas

Crafter's Workshop mask

Bazzill Cardstock

Joy's life dimension card

Today I have a super easy card for you with fun dimensional elements!

I used the sentiment from the My Hero set. The paperclips were already colored, I just bent them into triangles and glued them onto the card with some glossy accents (or maybe it was fabritac). It's simple, but I love how the paper clips look a little like the chevron/arrow trend, and bring in primary colors relating to a kid (or a superhero). Of course, the ink is Clearsnap.

Molding Mat and Modeling Pasted

For this card, I used my new favorite mixed media product, modeling paste. I applied it in a strip with a palette knife after masking off the rest of the card to create nice crisp edges. Then I inked the molding mat and pressed it into the modeling paste. 

The inks and molding mat are all Clearsnap. The striped stamps are hero arts and the sentiment is Stamps of Life.

Clearsnap Ombre Sprinkles card

I just love this card! (If I do say so myself) To make this card, I cut strips of cardstock and inked them with various Clearsnap inks into a sort of ombre look. After the strips were dry, I covered them in Sprinkles chunky glitter. The butterfly is from Impression Obsession and I colored it in using Smooch Accent inks. 

Clearsnap Product:

• Donna Salazar Designs™ Mix'd Media Inx™ in Berries,. Adobe and Schoolhouse
• Donna Salazar Designs™ Mix'd Media Chox™ in Pomegranate
• Sprinkles! Chunky Glitter
• Smooch® Accent Ink in Siren and Sweet Melon

Other Supplies:

• Stamps: Impression Obsession (butterfly) and Hero Arts (Sentiment)
• Circle Punch

Reindeer Chox card

Today I have a fun Christmas card to share with you. This card was created with the Clearsnap Mix'd Media Chox inks, some hero arts stamps, may arts ribbon and Bazzill cardstock. It's simple, but clean and classic.

Joy's Life Honey Pot card

These new Joy's Life stamps are so much fun! I am having a great time pairing them up with my Cricut library! 

This time I used the 'I love you, honey' stamp from the That Tastes Punny set. I paired it with a honey jar shaped card! 

This shape is actually a cookie jar from the Savory cartridge. I used Bazzill cardstock, Clearsnap ink, Eyelet Outlet brads, and Twinery twine.

Clearsnap birthday card

Today I have another Clearsnap card to share. This card was so much fun to make! Sometimes I really love getting messy! I used some Smooch Spritz over a Crafter's workshop template for the background. 

Then I used the blending stylus to apply ink in a strip down the left hand side of the card. The red lace was a remnant that I got at a fabric store and misted with some Stephanie Barnard for Clearsnap Dye ink Spray. 

Supplies

• Clearsnap Smooch Spritz in Green Olive
• Donna Salazar for Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx in Vintage
• Colorbox Blending Stylus and Tips
• Stephanie Barnard for Clearsnap Dye Sprays! ink in Strawberry
• Top Boss Watermark Embossing Ink
