Porthole center step card

This card was made with 3 files from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  I love this PortHole, the file is for a full card but I chose just to use the top layers so I could put it on the center step card base (SVG Attic).  This  porthole card file was only 99 cents!  What a deal and I will be using it a lot I am guessing.  You can find all three PPPR files that I used here. I chose to use my brand new waves die (CDD) for the water inside the Porthole but the file has its own very cool cuts for the water that I did not use this time around.  

 



The title at the bottom is a freebie file I just received for the recent blog hop I got to hop thru.  How fun and so many fabulous projects on the hop.  The Sea Horse is the Friday freebie right now and I decided to do those as a print and cut.  The sea grass and coral along the edges of the card are just bigger versions from the ones on the under the sea title.  I added blue bling rhinestones around the title for bubbles and some assorted sized sequins scattered in the water and a die cut from spellbinders twisted metal I added to look like a pole on a buoy holding a flag to say Happy Birthday 2 U (stamp & Flag from CDD).  Oh and I almost forgot, I placed blue brads in each bolt hole... I love the look it created for the Port Hole.

Here is a side view so you can see some of the fun layering

 





For the inside, errrr... well back of card in this case.... I used a computer generated sentiment square, which I made up myself and added the super cute Sea Horse in printable form and added some light blue bubbles around.

Stars & Stripes birthday card

I made this fun birthday card this morning following an awesome sketch challenge over at Die Cuttin' Diva's.  I think the hardest part for me in all of this was to pick the papers but I finally settled on this bright and sparkly stack from The Paper Studio called "Uptown Flair"   The pink layer is embossed with Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder.  The"Happy Birthday" stamp is from Craftin Desert Diva's "Happy Celebrations" stamp set.  The die cuts are from Spellbinders ... the small stars are from Moroccan accents and the large star is from Moroccan Motifs.  The face stamp on the large star is from peachy Keen "princess" face stamp set.  I chalked the cheeks with pink chalk and dotted the cheeks and eyes with a white gel pen.  I added some green gems to the center of each small star.

Elegant Snow Globe Card

Hello crafty Friends, after yesterday's shaker card which needed a bigger globe than I originally thought so today I wanted to use the other globe I cut out to begin with. 

I decided to make this one a bit more elegant, but not a shaker this time.  Using my Frosty Forms for the die cuts and of course had to use the awesome "Outdoor Landscape" die from Craftin Desert Diva's again for the snow layer... ooh I love that stitched look.  The sentiment stamp is from My Craft Spot "Tiny Tags Christmas"  worked perfect for the half tag I added.

On the inside I used a snowflake & sentiment stamp from a CardMaker kit.  What a beautiful message :)  The Snowman at the bottom is also from Frosty Forms.

Items I used:
Snow Globe - Cricut DoodleCharms
Embossing - Sizzix "Snow Caps" folder
Deer, Bow, Swirly Border & Snowman - Spellbinder's Frosty Forms
Half tag at bottom - Spellbinder's Twisted Metal
Stitched Snow Layer - Craftin Desert Diva's "Outdoor Landscape" die
Front Sentiment Stamp "Christmas Cheer" My Craft Spot "Tiny Tags Christmas" Set
Large Sparkly Snowflakes - Martha Stewart double sided stickers w/ glitter sprinkled over
Blue Inks - Martha Stewart Cats eye stack
Stamped Snowflakes & Inside Sentiment Quote - CardMaker kit stamp sets

the "HB2U" sentiment and the cute tag (Short & Sweet Tags) are from Craftin Desert Diva's.  Easy Cheesy :)

Caught a Bug? water color Card

Hi Crafty Friends,  More water coloring for today's Project.  This one is with water color Paper and real water colors.  This was so much fun!  The cute Recollections sticker bugs were perfect for this with their adorable googly eyes. I used a white die-cut behind each bug from Spellbinder's Moroccan Motifs.

The tag is from Cuttlebug Emboss Plus folder - Embossed Tags... I just bought this on clearance and really like it... they cut and emboss at the same time and there is a window you can open to chalk or ink raised embossed part... Love this set!  So I used the same watercolors to color the embossed part and decided on the purple... of course because Purple is my favorite color :)

The Caught a bug? sentiment I used is from Craftin Desert Diva's "Lil Bit Buggie" Stamp set
I also added lots of fun sequins named "Lilac" also from Craftin Desert Diva's

For the inside of this card I used the same water color technique only this time on regular white card stock which I cut out using a Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangle die.  I added a couple of more sequins and the sentiment  "Just Feel Better" is from a Card Maker Kit.

Summer's Bounty watercolor card

hello crafty friends,

Today I decided to work with some water coloring techniques, it was a lot of fun.  To the right side of the card I used a long stamp block that I inked directly with some of my small distress ink pads.  I layed it down ink side up, spritzed with water and layed my cardstock onto it and carefully rubbed the back to soak up a bunch of the ink water.  Then I layed it face up & I took the remaining ink on my block and rubbed it around the other areas of my card.  This one was just with plain ole white card stock.  After letting it dry a bit I decided to spritz the whole card front with perfect pearls mist.  It is so shiny and pretty in person.
The fun puffy Popsicles are stickers from recollections.  The Sun I made from a Spellbinder's Ironwork Accents Die-cut from a bright yellow card stock, I stamped the face using Peachy Keen Stamps Princess faces then chalked the cheeks in an orange glitter chalk.  I then placed the sun back in the die and spritz with perfect pearls mist.  I went around the edge of the inner circle placing dots of pink glitter glue on the sun.  I went around the outer edges with orange ink and bent each one upward a little to give more dimension.

 

The sentiment "Summer's Bounty" is from my stash of scrapbooking stamps I purchased long ago when I first started crafting, I don't know the maker of them.  It is stamped on a fun tag from Craftin Desert Diva's "Short & Sweet Tags" set which I edged in pink and orange inks.  I just love the stamped inner edging.

Father's Day Flag Card

I had fun making this Simple Masculine Father's Day Card.  It is good to be crafting again.



I used a stamp from Craftin Desert Diva's for the Happy Father's Day sentiment.  It is from the Happy Celebrations stamp set.  I stamped it with Black Staz-on ink right onto the Kraft Card stock.  I also ripped the edge of the craft card stock and added wet Gold Perfect pearls powder.... it looks really nice in person.  for the flags I just gathered up some different blue pattern paper scraps that I cut down to strips.  On the center one I hand cut the flag bottom, the other 3 I used my envelope punch board to cut the flag bottoms.  I used some Sew Easy brown and white twine to wrap around the layers.  I used another piece of same twine to tie on a blue button from my stash. 





On the inside I created a greeting with my computer and printed it out on light blue paper.  I also added some more flag strips on the inside with coordinating scraps.  I also created this light blue envelope matching the inside paper and added a couple of more Pattern paper flags.
