Doily Fun

Today is my FuN post day over at Cut@Home!  My post today is all about doilies.  I love adding pretty doilies as embellishments to my cards, so I decided to expand that with different types of doilies and came up with the following.

First, here's my video showing you the cards up close:

The doily on this first card is die cut - Tattered Lace Doily Flourish!  So much pretty detail!

Then I stamped a doily using the Spellbinders Celebra'tions Doily Fun Stamp!

Next, I embossed a doily using the Spellbinders Celebra'tions Doily Art Embossing Folder.  (Of particular note in this card is that fun and funky flower from Dare 2B Artzy, Totally Tracy Collection - Be Bold.  

And finally, I used a "regular" doily, inked up with TH Walnut Distress Ink on this fun-filled Graphic 45 card.

Bird Freakin' Crazy

Yes, that's right I'm Bird freakin' Crazy for Tim Holtz's new Bird Crazy stamps!  It's my day over at Cut@Home today.  Be sure to stop by there to see more details, but I wanted to share with you here a couple of the cards that use Unity {Have Some Sass} sentiments (because it's FWF Friday).

I stamped the "sorry" part of this stamp on the inside of the card.

The paper on the first card is from Heartfelt Creationz Majestic Morning and Spellbinders Celebra'tions prints and solids on the second.  They are embellished with Timeless Twine, 3 Girl JAM ribbon, Bella Creationz Sequins and The Pearl Girl pearls.

Here's my video that shows all of the cards I made with these Bird Crazy stamps.

Thanks for stopping by today, and have a GREAT weekend!

Beauty from Birds and Blooms

I'm have a project up over at Cut@Home today using the Heartfelt Creations Birds and Blooms collection.  Love this pretty feminine paper so much!  

One of my cards I highlighted on the Cut@Home blog is this one:

Here's a close-up of those pretty shiny flowers:

After coloring them with Prima Watercolor pencils, I covered them with Angel Craft Podge in semi-gloss and sprinkled just a TEENY bit of Tim Holtz Distress Glitter in Spun Sugar on them.  I love this NEW podge.  I am super sensitive to smells, but it really hardly has any odor and doesn't bother me at all!

Here's a video where you can see these cards a little more close-up!

Celebra'tions Ink

I'm up over at the Cut@Home blog today with a couple cards I made using the Spellbinders Celebra'tions line.  The super cool thing about these cards is the ink that I stamped with!  It's the Celebra'tions Berry Black ink.  This ink can be used for coloring in BOTH alcohol and watercolor techniques.  This is an unusual trait in ink-pads and is so super handy!  These are the cards I made:

The card on the right is colored with Copics, and the card on the left is colored with the  Tim Holtz distress watercolor markers.

And here's my video showing how I put these cards together:

Guest Design: Die Cuttin' Divas

I'm super honored and excited to be guest designing for Die Cuttin' Divas!  Their current challenge theme is, "Celebrate Spring."  What BeTTeR way to celebrate spring than with fun, bright colors and patterns and a flower or two thrown in!  Here's what I did.

The paper is from Spellbinders Celebra'tions line, the stamp is from Unity Stamp Company, and the ribbon is a "soon to be released" color from 3 Girl JAM!  SO much fun.  But wait, you say - it's DIE Cuttin' Divas.  Well, I used my MOST-loved and MOST-used die, my Lifestyle Crafts Circle dies.  Love circles.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Be sure to stop by Die Cuttin' Divas to join their challenge too!

Framing Daisy

I'm excited to be showing a project on the Cut at Home blog today with the LO below.  I used a picture of my MIL's bull mastiff (and my husband) to create a lay-out.  (The dog's name is Daisy!)

For this project, I used Tim Holtz Ideology Wallflower Stash paper (which is seriously GORGEOUS!) and the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eight, but most any of these fabulous nesting dies would work.  Here's a close-up of my project.  Full details, a video and more close-up pictures can be found at the Cut at Home blog.
