"Baby Girl" Card

Hellllooo, all!

Today's project is a super simple and quick card and tag combination that focuses on a complex embellishment. I found this particular embellishment at a craft market, but you could also make something like this using some punches and a Sillhouette or you could hand-cut the shapes. This is a great concept to use especially when you're in a hurry to make a card. All I really did extra was some embossing and adhering :)! 

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Bazzill PINKINI Cardstock, Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock
• Embellishments: Baby Shoes Scallop Circle Embellishment, Faux pearl (large), Brown ribbon
• Stamps/Ink: Hero Arts ADORABLE BABY GIRL Clear Stamp Set, Tsukineko VERSAMARK Ink, Inkadinkado WHITE LINEN Embossing Powder
• Punches: Fiskars SCALLOPED SENTIMENT Border Punch, 1/4" Hole Punch
• Other: Cuttlebug A2 BABY'S BREATH Embossing Folders

Have a great day!

"BROWN Eyes" Scrapbook Page

Hey guys!

As you can tell from the title, today's post is yet another scrapbook page that I made quite a while ago, actually, and I thought that you could use some ideas from it. I don't want to call it a clean and simple style or a shabby chic style, so let me put it this way: shabby but simple.

So, here you go!

If you look closely, you can see the paint splatter in the background which I created by mixing gray acrylic paint and water to form a thin consistency (like a mist) which would be easy to splatter and not 'glob' up (I didn't have any gray colored mists.).

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Bazzill AVALANCHE Cardstock
• Patterned Paper: Amy Tangerine SKETCHBOOK Collection Pack
• Embellishments: Amy Tangerine Sketchbook BLACK JOURNAL Thickers, American Crafts BALCK DELIGHT Thickers, Amy Tangerine Sketchbook DRAW Dimensional Stickers, Black faux pearl dots
• Other: Martha Stewart 1" SCALLOPED CIRCLE Punch, Inkssentials GLOSSY ACCENTS

See you all soon!

"Smile, Cause' it's SUMMER" Scrapbook Page

Hello, my dear blog readers!

Now, today's 'project', as you can tell, is not a card, as it is an 8.5" x 11" premade scrapbook page (If you would like to purchase this page, click on the Etsy link to the right side of this post.). This season-oriented has many different vibrant colors, has a playful scheme, and has lots of dimension, In case you didn't know, I usually don't hand cut out paper, but in this case, I had to for the whale, fish, and clouds because I didn't have any dies or punches which would suit the project in terms of shape and size.

Anyhow, feel free to gather inspiration!

Tip: When hand-cutting shapes (from paper, in this case), sometimes it is a good idea to add glitter on the edges to hide any mis-cuts or blemishes.

Supplies (There are quite a few!):

• Cardstock: Bazzill OCEAN BREEZE Cardstock, Bazzill BREEZE Cardstock, Bazzill ISLAND BREEZE Cardstock, Bazzill MOODY BLUE Cardstock,Bazzill AVALANCHE Cardstock, Bazzill ALMOND CREAM Cardstock, Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock, Bazzill RAVEN Cardstock, Bazzill DATE SWIRL Cardstock, Bazzill WATERMELON SENSATION Cardstock
• Embellishments: Stickles CRYSTAL Glitter Glue, Stickles CHAMPAGNE Glitter Glue, Stickles COTTON CANDY PINK Glitter Glue, Googly eyes, Green grosgrain ribbon, American Crafts Dear Lizzy LIMEADE FANTASTIC Thickers, American Crafts CHERRY SUBWAY Thickers, American Crafts Garden Cafe BISCOTTI Delights
• Other: We R Memory Keepers CORNER CHOMPER, Fiskars BOUNDARY WATERS Border Punch

Hope you liked it and see y'all soon!

Bright Flowers w/Copics Card

Hello, all!

Today's post is mainly focused on some stamping and Copic coloring. So far, this is one of my favorite cards because of the vivid colors which 'pop' to your eye. Also, I've colored and cut several of the flowers and leaves on a seperate sheet of cardstock and mounted them on foam adhesive. In addition, it can be used for various occasions (birthday, hello, thinking of you, even baby), but in this case, I stamped a 'Thank You' sentiment on it.

P.S. The card base is a navy blue color (you can't see it that well)

As you can tell, I haven't colored much shadow in the flowers, but some of their colors range from dark to light, from the interior, and vice versa.

Copic Sketch Marker colors: R22, R29, R32, YR07, YR04, Y17, Y2, YG03, YG63, B32, B34, V06, V127 & V15
Tip: If some of the color goes outside the lines or you get unwanted colors in places, (inky fingerprints, don't you just hate 'em?) use a white gel pen to hide the mistakes.

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock (4" x 5.25"), Bazzill MOODY BLUE Cardstock (Card base - 4.25"x 5.5")
• Stamp set/Ink: Stampin' Up! FLOWER FEST Cling Stamps, Hero Arts YEAR ROUND SENTIMENTS Stamp Set,  GRAPHITE BLACK Pigment Ink
• Embellishments/Others: Copic Sketch Markers, Stickles CRYSTAL Glitter Glue, Stickles SILVER Glitter Glue, We R Memory Keepers CORNER CHOMPER

Hope you got some inspiration!

Bright Birds Card

Hello, all!

Today's post is actually a birthday card I made for my mom last week. As you can see, it is a generically themed card which can be used for multiple events. A new technique I used to add a little more 'umph' to the card was using scoring lines in the white space at the top of the card, for which I used my Martha Stewart SCORING BOARD (Tip: Don't press too hard while scoring, or  your card will become flimsy and bend, like mine did.) All of the patterned paper used in this card is from American Crafts COLOR CRUSH 6x6 Paper Pad.

(Inside of card)

 List of Supplies:

• Patterned paper: American Crafts COLOR CRUSH 6x6 Paper Pad
• Cardstock: Bazzill COCONUT SWIRL Cardstock
• Embellishments: Brown ribbon, American Crafts EVERYDAY FABRIC STICKERS (Coordinates perfectly with the patterned paper pad.), Stickles glitter
• Other: Martha Stewart SCORING BOARD
