Magical

I bought this cute Queen and Co. card kit called "Magical" at the last scrapbook event I went to. I love Disney and Mickey Mouse so I couldn't resist buying it. It was fun to put together and I'd forgotten how fun it is to make shaker cards. 

My only issue is the thickness of the card. In order to mail them, I'll have to pay extra postage. The people who receive them will be more than worth the extra stamp!

Thanks for taking a peek,

Sail Away

You can't tell, but this is a thank you card...the sentiment is on the inside. I used some goodies I got at the Scrapbook Expo to make it. The Queen & Co. washi tapes and Heartfelt Creations stamp set were must haves for me. With the addition of some Taylored Expressions dies, the card was finished!

Ladybug Birthday Wishes

I'm not a big fan of paper (Washi) tape, but when I went to a scrapbook expo and there was some for $1.00 a roll, I couldn't pass it up. They, Queen & Co., also had lots of rhinestone decorations for $1.00. This lady bug is one of those. I used a Spellbinders die for the white then fussy cut the black layer. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations, also picked up at the same expo.

Ball of thanks

I've been doing different versions of the same layouts lately. Here's one of them. The first one uses a Queen & Co. rhinestone baseball and the other uses a bunch of Inkadinkado sentiments. The stripes are Queen & Co. washi tape and the circles are done with Spellbinders.

Make a Wish

Today I have a card for you using OWH sketch 57. The small squares are Bella Blvd. paper and the large square is American Crafts. I used Spellbinders for the circles and a Paper Smooches sentiment offset with some Triveni bling. The butterfly is from Queen & Co. 

Summer flowers...and a bug

I had this partial piece of Dena Designs paper I wanted to use up and went browsing through the OWH sketches. Sketch 52 worked great for using this colorful paper. The flowers are Prima and held with a brad from my stash. The circles are done with Spellbinders. That dragonfly is from Queen & Co. and the sentiment is Paper Smooches.

Juggling Penguin Note Cards

I was obviously in a washi tape mood when I started these cards. They were originally going to be all the same, but since I ended up with 16 card fronts I decided to make four note card sets. The juggling penguin stamp is by Memory Box and I used Triveni bling to make the juggling balls. Those stripes of washi tape are from Queen & Co. and the sentiments are all Paper Smooches. I used an orange Copic to color the beak and feet.

How great is it that these fit perfectly with the current Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge?

Conversation Hearts

One of my local LSS had a crafty garage sale awhile ago and I picked up a set of "conversation heart" stamps. I knew they would be perfect for some love and Valentine cards and I was right! I just wish I knew who made them.

This card is made with some paper from my stash that didn't have a company name on it. I used the My Favorite Things Peek-a-boo Trio die for the circles. The layer of brown is Bazzill and the hearts are stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa. Those chestnut colored brads are from American Crafts.

For this one, I used some Authentique paper layered on blue card stock. The hearts are stamped in Memento Danube Blue and the blue bling is Queen & Co.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?

OWH sketches 132 - 139

Sketches 120-122

Today I focused on using some pretty Purple Damask from Recollections. The first one, sketch 120, also uses some yellow and white Bazzill along with some black and silver cardstock. I pierced around the white oval (both ovals done with Nesties) and used my Copic black multiliner to give it a stitched look. The stamp is from Love by Little Yellow Bicycle and the lavender pearl is Queen & Co.

 

For sketch 121, I used the same papers (except the yellow). I did add some yellow, though, a yellow and black flower held together with a white brad. I'm still not sure if it needs a sentiment.

 

Sketch 122 is the last one for today. Again, I used the same papers. This time the sentiment is from Sassy Salutations by Stampin' Up! The silver embellishments are JoAnn Craft Essentials Metallic Dots. I love how flat they are.

 

Enjoy your day!

Sketches 114-117

Moving along with sketches today, I have four more for you. These all have the same basic elements. Green and white striped Colorbok paper. Purple Damask Recollections paper. Black pearl paper. Green and white Bazzil paper. Silver cardstock.

Sketch 114 and sketch 115: Love stamp set by Little Yellow Bicycle. Lavender pearls from Queen & Co.

 

Sketch 116: Love stamp set by Little Yellow Bicycle. JoAnn Craft Essentials Metallic Dots.

 

Sketch 117: I'm not sure where the stamp came from. I did two versions of this because I didn't like the first one which everyone else really liked. The first one has Recollections rivets. The second one has Studio 112 light green gems.

 

 

Enjoy your weekend!
