Happy Friday + New Mood Board Challenge

 Hi, and welcome, everyone! Today I'm sharing a few cards featuring the Victorine Originals Flower Pot with Birdhouse Red Rubber Stamp. And course, the gorgeous new mood board from SumMore Fun Blog. 

 If you link your project up over on the SumMore Fun Blog you have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the SumMore Fun Online Store. 

First, I'm going to say this stamp is not one that I would normally gravitate towards. I realized while using that being outside of my comfort zone is when my creativity is at it's best. Weird, I know but hey, that's me. 

This card is super easy to create. Just follow the steps below.

FULL SUPPLY LIST BELOW

For the card above I colored the image with Prisma Pencils, stamped the sentiment background with Memento Ink Summer Sky, layered on to Doodlebug Kraft In Color 6x6  Paper.

Emboss the background, die-cut hello die 4 times to layer, add Steel Navy Embossing Powder and heat set, color image with COPICS, finish off with sequins.

Quick and simple, right?  

As always, thanks for joining me today.

Champagne Kisses

Hi, and welcome to the New Year, everyone!I'm over on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog bringing you the CDD Daily today. I'm so excited for 2017 and all the possibilities that it brings to us. Craftin Desert Divas has some amazing things coming your way this year, and you will want to continue to follow along to stay up to date with new releases, monthly challenges, and more. 

Here's a card I made for the New Year, and even though we are two days into it I wanted to share it with you. You could easily use this for a wedding or anniversary card by using the sentiment that comes with the stamp set, "Champagne Wishes."

Hoo's Been Naughty or Nice

Hi and welcome, everyone! Today I'm up on the Craftin Desert Divas Blog bringing you the Daily Post today. First, I want to start by telling you that my inspiration for this card comes from Angry Birds. I guess this is my take on a Christmas-themed Angry Bird. Only one problem, this Lil' guy is way too cute to be angry! He is naughty, though. I love the Owl-idays Stamp Set from Craftin Desert Divas, too much cuteness. 

I say it every time; this card is simple to create. A little die-cutting, stamping and coloring. And I always say let your paper do the work for you especially for backgrounds. I admit once in a blue moon I can create a watercolor background that I'm happy with and I sincerely wish I could knock them out every time but the fact is, I can't! So I rely heavily on patterned paper to do the work for me. 

CARD BASE:

• 4.25"x 5.5" card base - 8.5" x 11" #110 cardstock scored at 5.5" and cut at 4.25" to create to top fold card bases

LAYERS:

• Cut red/white patterned paper to 4.125 x 5.375
•  Die-cut blue snowflake patterned paper using Fancy Frame Dies
• Die-cut snow using Stitched Scalloped Dies; ink the edge of one with Tumbled Glass Distress InkUsing the SVG Outlines for Owl-idays, Santa's Helpers and Build A Scene cut the owl, lights, branch, and presents using your electronic cutting machine. Silhouette Cameo

STAMP:

• Using the Mini Misti stamp images and sentiment on X-Press Blend It Cardstock
• Color using COPIC Markers

ASSEMBLE:

• Adhere red & white patterned paper to card base, layer blue snowflake patterned paper, add die-cut elements *see above photo using 3D mounting foam on branch  and snow 
• Add adhesive to owl and presents attach to card
• Finish off with sequins
