Fruit Boarders

Using a new release from MHK Designs, this fun card was made.  It reminds me of when we went to California and picked fresh lemons.  We carted a bag of plump, lucious, fresh picked lemons home to Wisconsin and made fresh lemonade.  I do not think I have tasted lemonade any better!

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny day!

Eat Your Cake

Tomorrow  my youngest  celebrates a 16th birthday.  Where did my baby go?

We have a tradition on your birthday you get to pick the meal and the cake.  Cheesecakes seem to be the favorite around here.

This is the card I made to go with the gift.  It is a new image at MHK Designs.

Thanks for stopping by.

Let's talk itty bitty.  Teensy Tiny.  Size matters.  No super sizing here!

The finished size of this is the size of a post it note.  But let me tell you, if you use your realestate well, you can add a lot of detail!

I Wheely Like this card and my DT member Asha received it in a card exchange.

Besides using the Wheel Like You set, Can you guess what other sets are used?  Did I use any MHK Designs paper on the card?

This is zoomed in so you can see the metallic bike made with glitter and alcohol markers.   There is also an itty bitty butterfly on the sentiment.




So, have you guessed what sets were used?
See below.  And thank you for visiting my blog!!

Monarch

This Monarch stamp with the flowers is a beauty!  

I used some distress sprays to create the background and splatters.  I am really liking this white emboss on the black paper.  It seems to give the card a mondern feel.

Hope you enjoy!

Vintage Sunshine

A grungy, vintage card today.  I went to my first garage sale of the year at the scrapbook store.  People bring in their slightly used supplies and they are sold.  Then they get a credit at the store to buy new supplies.  You sill find stamps, cutting supplies, embellishments, paper and other craft supplies.  Believe me...you will only move through the sale as fast as the person in front of you as they go through all the stamps, paper etc!

So, I mixed some of these supplies...I behaved myself...and mixed some of my garage sale supplies with my supplies on hand to make this card.

This is a mixed media card as I used DI, clear embossing powder on the sun rays, an acrylic piece over the circle on the sun, distress spray for the splatters, twine, and a metal brad.

Simply Roses

This stamp is an oldie but a timless goodie.  I like the two step stamping in a light color and then a darker color.

Using my scraps, all the  pieces are from cards cut to short or paper left over.  Why not use the magazine that would otherwise hit the garbage?  I love using newsprint.  Then a little white embossing on black paper finishes this card off.

Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great day!

Oh My, Butterfly

I saw Barbara's technique and was so impressed with it, I had to try it.  I was so nervous because you cover everything up with black DI.

  I sprayed the distress sprays on the paper.  Then I layered  die cuts on top of the paper and covered the whole thing with Black Soot DI.  When it dried and I removed the die cuts...magic happened.  I splattered some white paint on the front layer and black paint on the back layer.  The butterfly and Happy birthday are embossed.  I added a few white punched pieces and OH MY, BUTTERFLY!
