It's a Girl!

Happy Friday! I am heading off this weekend on my annual craft getaway with some amazing friends and talented crafters. I am so excited! Things have been hectic lately and I am looking forward to four days away!

Before I leave I am popping in with a new baby girl card created with some fun, new dies from Taylored Expressions. 


I used a pretty plaid for the card background from the Carta Bella 6x6 pad - It's a Girl. Next I die cut a circle in the the center of the card front and matted the cut out.


To create the scene in the circle I used the Build a Scene - Nursery and Little Bits - Rocking Horse Dies. The sentiment is from the Sign of the Times Stamp & Die Combo. The sentiment is cut out with the Label It Dies.

I hope to have lots to share when I get back from 4 days of crafting. Have a good weekend!

These are the products I used to create my card:

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Rainbow

Hi Everyone! It's the 15th of March and time for a all new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Rainbow. 

 I hope you get a chance to play along. The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge.


Here's my take on the challenge, drawing inspiration from watercolors and rainbows!


First I cut a piece of watercolor paper to fit the card front. Next I got out my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paints and just painted strips in the order of the colors in the Inspiration Photo.

I used the Taylored Expressions' Rainbow Scallop Cutting Plate, perfect for the challenge, to added the background pattern and then attached the watercolored rainbow behind the rainbow pattern.


I stamped one of my favorite sentiments from the Simply Stamped - Sunflowers Stamp Set in white pigment ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added the clouds and sun with the Little Bits - Sun & Clouds Dies. 

The finishing touch is a scatter of 4mm Clear Droplets from Pretty Pink Posh. 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you get a change to play along!

Magic - Working on a Scrapbook

Hi all and thanks for stopping by! It's been a long time since I have worked on a scrapbook project. I still do enjoy creating on a 12" by 12" canvas. These photos are from a recent wedding shower for my sweet daughter Lisa. I used the Essentials by Ellen March Mix It Up Challenge with Pretty Pink Posh for inspiration. 


When Ellen released the Mondo Hydrangea Stamp Set and Dies I knew I had to have it! These are the colors Lisa chose for her wedding and hydrangeas are included in bouquets.


The pretty sequins are from the Pretty Pink Posh Share Kindness Sequins Mix. I also added a few 4mm Clear Droplets. These little droplets come in two sizes and are so pretty in person!


I stamped the Hydrangea and the leaves with a Delicata Ink Pad in Silvery Shimmer on watercolor paper and embossed with a silver embossing powder. Then I watercolored the images with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor Paints. The sentiment is from the Essentials by Ellen Designer Dies, Positive Word by By Julie Ebersole.

Thanks for taking a look and have a good week!

Happily Ever After

Hi and thanks for stopping by today. This past Saturday two of my daughters and I hosted a wedding shower for my daughter Lisa, who is getting married in May. I made this card, created with some new products from Taylored Expressions, to give her with my gift. 


I stamped three flowers from the Happily Ever After Stamp Set in White Pigment Ink on watercolor paper and embossed with white embossing powder. I colored the flowers with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker in Turquoise Green, Light Blue, Lemon Yellow, and Yellow.


I stamped the leaves and then used colored pencils to add shading. I used the Happily Ever After Dies to cut out the flowers and the leaves. I sponged the background with distress ink and then splattered white paint. The sentiment is from the Happily Ever After Stamp Set . 

The ring is put together with the Little Bits - Wedding Ring Die. 


And here is photo of the happy couple! 

Here are the TE products I used to create my card:
