Happy Sunday blog friends. Today we had some relax time and well I decided to play along with the Tyalored Expressions sketch challenge. I just got this stencil and well I had to ink it up. I mean who doesn't love watermelon.... right?

Stencil the One in A Melon stencil twice, once on your card base and once on a separate piece of white cardstock. The stenciled melons on the separate piece, trim down to 2 1/4 x 5. Cut a piece of green cardstock 2 1/2 x 5 1/4. Adhere the stenciled melons to the green cardstock using foam tape and add to the card on the left side. 

Die cut the Open Scallop Circle on a piece of pink cardstock and adhere to the card using foam and liquid glue. Die cut the circle from the Open Scallop Circle on white cardstock and adhere to the center of the pink scalloped circle using foam tape.

Birthday Shaker...

YES! It is Friday and I woke up feeling much better. Thursday must have been my last bad day, because I thought it was never going to end. I think as you get older that colds are a little harder to recover from. It might just be me, it just feels that way. 

Because I am much better I created this card using some older sets, which does not bother me one bit. I have lots of oldies that I still love and just can't get rid of them. So I dust them off and add some ink... LOL

Today's card was created using...

• Avery Elle: Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set
• Avery Elle: Quilted Frame die
• Avery Elle: Some Bunny stamp set
• MFT: Fringe Banners
• Pink & Main: Ballroom Gems 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Die cut the Quilted Frame on a piece of green cardstock.

Die cut the Fringe Banners 4 times on four different colors of pink cardstock. Add the fringe to the back side of the circled die cut area of the Quilted Frame. Create a fun design that looks like you're ready to celebrate. Trim off access.

Stamp out the images from the Peek-a-Boo Pals stamp set using black ink on a separate piece of white cardstock. Color the images using your favorite medium. I used Copic Sketch markers. Die cut using the coordinating dies, if you have them. I did not, so I had to fussy cut. Adhere the hippo only at the bottom, but in the inside of the circle. 

Cut a piece of acetate and adhere it to the back of your circle using double sided tear tape. 

Add some foam tape to the sides of the acetate, creating a square for your shaker bits. Add some colored sequins to the center of your circle. Cut a piece of white cardstock for the backing of your shaker and adhere to the card with the foam tape you added before. Now adhere your shaker background to your card base. 

Adhere the big balloon behind the hippo using liquid glue.

Finishing with a few of those Pink & Main Ballroom Gems that I love so much.

A little shaker fun for someone's special birthday. Very simple and totally fun to create.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Sending Sunshine...

YAY! for Thursday. The week is almost over and I am ready to start the new week. I got my craftiness back and so I created this Honey Bee Stamps card using...

• Sweet Honey Bee stamp/dies
• Rainbow Dreams stamp/dies 

You got it... two stamp sets and my Copic sketch markers. I know I don't color much these days but I really need too. I noticed some of my Copics are getting dry. That's a full time job, testing them all and refilling the ones that need it. LOL Well let's get to this card I created. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Stamp out this fun Rainbow Dreams using your favorite inks. Stamp directly onto your card base. 

Stamp out the Sweet Honey Bee images on a separate piece of white cardstock using black ink and color using your favorite medium. I colored using Copic Sketch markers. I had the coordinating dies so I die cut them all out and then started to create my scene on the card. 

Stamp out the stars using colored ink on white cardstock from the Rainbow Dream stamp set and die cut using the coordinating dies. Now add them stars all around that adorable sleeping bee. He's floating on a flower cloud. Well that is what I see anyways. 

Finishing with stamping the sentiment on white cardstock using black ink and die cutting using the coordinating dies. Add the sentiment to the card using foam tape. 

That is all for today... a bee garden full of adorable bees and pretty flowers. Plus that fun rainbow... hard to   beat a card full of summer fun. 

That is all for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a day full of smiles. 

So Loved...

Happy Wednesday blog friends. Boy o boy this cold really put me out. I thought it was getting better and well this week has been rough. No, I don't have covid, I just have a head cold that will not go away. BUT, today seems to be better. Yesterday I started creating this card and all I can say is I don't know. The flowers are not in the right place and it just did not turn out the way I wanted it too BUT I am sharing aways. LOL The colors are pretty.... don't you think?

Card designed using:

• The Stamp Market: Joyful Bloom stamp/dies
• The Stamp Market: Circles and Circles Cover die
• The Stamp Market: Banners For You stamp/dies
• NUVO: Simple Black Crystal Drops

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Die cut the Circles and Circles die two times, once on each color of yellow/green and pink cardstock. Cut the circles on one of the die cuts in the center and adhere it to the top of the other. Adhere the circles to the card base. 

Stamp all these fun images from the Joyful Blooms stamp set and die cut using the coordinating dies.. Arrange the images on your card and create a colorful card full of flowers. Maybe arrange better than I did. LOL  I used foam tape so I could not take off and redo.

Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock and die cut using one of the Banner dies and adhere to the card using foam tape.

Finish with a few of those NUVO Crystal Drops here and there. 

That is all that I have today... I am going to work on a new card and hopefully do a little better than today. LOL I blame it on my head cold.

Have a wonderful day!
