Hello!!
Happy FRIDAY!!
We will be BUSY at our County Fair but I wouldn't MIND spending the Weekend at the BEACH!!
How about you!!??
This Months Inky Paws Challenge #23 ~ Summer Lovin' is SO FUN!! How can you NOT be INSPIRED by this Challenge Photo!!??
I decided to use the New Message In a Bottle Stamp Set and the coordinating Message In a Bottle Die Set and then I paired it with the Years of Cheers Stamp Set to created a FUN Shaker Card!! I was ISNPIRED by the Sand and the Idea of Sea Glass!! So I've used more of a Beachy Color Scheme, but its still in a Rainbow of Hues and I LOVE that this Design could be USED for SO MANY Occasions!! Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays and even Congrats!! I Started by Die Cutting the Bottle and I wanted it to be a Wine Bottle so I Stamped it and then Masked it to create a FUN Wine Label using the Swirl Image  from the Years of Cheers Stamp Set!! I then Stamped the Sentiment from the In Slow Motion Stamp Set!! I thought it made the PERFECT Name for a Bottle of Wine, and also worked GREAT for an any Occasion Sentiment!! Then I used my Distress Markers to Water Color the Bottle and the Wine Glasses!! I Stamped the Cheers and added the Wine Glasses and created the Shaker and my Card was done!! The Sequin Mix is from Simon Says Stamp and I just LOVE this Color Combo!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you'll Play Along for a Chance to WIN!! I CAN'T WAIT to see what you Create!! =)
Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Hello!!

I'm here today for the Newton's Nook Designs 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop!!  =)

I'm SO EXCITED to share my Creations with you!! I thought it would be FUN to Create a Shark Themed Party!! I've made SEVERAL Creations to share and I'm hoping they Inspire you to create a Party of your own!! =) First though I have a Card using the New "Message In a Bottle" Stamp Set and the Coordinating "Message In a Bottle" Die Set!! This set was Showcased Yesterday!! For More Inspiration (just in Case you missed it) Click Here!! I just LOVE how Versatile this Set is and I have some FUN Gift Tags/Bags to share using these same Message In a Bottle Stamp Set and the Dies at the End of my Post!! For my Party I started with these Sweet Treat Bags!! I Die Cut the Base from an Avery Elle Die and then added some Large and Small Gum Balls!! I combined two Sentiments from the "Shark Bite" Stamp Set and I just LOVE it!! Next the FUN Drink Holder Ideas!! I used Paper Straws and some Vintage Milk Jars!! I created several different Ideas for how you could Decorate them!! SO FUN!! Party Hats!! What's a Party without Party Hats!!?? I used a Die Set from PTI and I Die Cut the Fringe Circle from two different Shades of Felt!! Next I thought it would be FUN to have some Shark Arm Badges!! I used another PTI Die and Die Cut my Felt and then Stitched around the Edges!! I added another Circle and Stamped and Embossed the Images and then Stitched around the Edges attaching it to the Arm Badge!! I think it would be FUN to have some Markers set up and to let each of the Kids Color their Own Sharks and then add the FUN Party Hats if they wanted too!!??  I decided to also share a FUN Invitation Idea!! =) I've used a Library Card and Holder from Fancy Pants Designs for the Base, but you could create these using anything you wanted!!  =) Last but NOT least are the FUN Gift Tags and Bags!! I just LOVE being able to use my Crafting Supplies for my Gift Giving needs too!! How FUN are these Little Bottles Die Cut to create Folded Gift Tags!!  When I was looking through my Newton's Nook Design Stash, I realized that there are SO MANY Stamp Sets that your could use along with these to make some REALLY FUN Projects!! I've also used the "Winged Wishes" Stamp Set, "In Slow Motion" Stamp Set and the "Naughty Newton's" Stamp Set!!

Hope you LEAVE Feeling INSPIRED!!??  =)

Newton's Nook Designs July Release ~ Message In a Bottle!! =)

Pin It

(This is my Second Post for today!! For my Paper Sweeties July Release Wrap Up Post, Please Scroll Down or Follow the Link!! THANKS!!  =)

Hello!!
Today we are showcasing the Newton's Nook Designs July Release with the New Set called "Message In a Bottle"!! SQUEAL!! Plus a Coordinating Die Set "Message In a Bottle Purr-fect Dies"!! Just look at these AMAZING Images!! =)

I've made several Projects to share for today!! =) First a One Layer Card!! I just LOVE the way it turned out!!  =) I was Inspired by this Picture on Pinterest!!

So I knew I just had to create a Card that had a Similar Scene!!  =) I had to use SEVERAL Masks and I stamped it out about 4 Times on Practice Paper before I got the Design/Layout just Right!! It was SO WORTH the Effort though!! I used the New Dies to Die Cut the Paper Scroll Image and used it for my Sentiment!! I also added a FUN Burlap Twine Stitched Border around the Edge and I really LOVE the Texture it adds without any Bulk!!

  My Next Card is a Shaker Card and I had FUN using Shrink Plastic to create some Little Shaker Charms!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE having the Coordinating Dies!! =) I Stamped and Embossed my Images on Distress Watercolor Paper and used my Distress Markers to Water Color them!! I Stamped 3 Waves from the Shark Bite Stamp Set and Fussy Cut Them!! One from Distress Water Color Paper and 2 from Vellum!! I added the Vellum Waves infront of the Acetate on the Window and I LOVE the Look!! Hope you'll give these Shrink Plastic Charms a Try!

My Last Project is a Bracelet!!

I've used Shrink Plastic and Die Cut a Large Stitched Rectangle using a Lil' Inker Designs Die and then I Stamped and Masked the Images the same way I did on my First Card!! SQUEAL!! It was SO FUN watching it Shrink Down!! While it was cooling I shaped it on my Wrist and then used Copic Markers to color it in!! I found out that if you used the AMAZING MFT Hybrid Ink which is good for Copic Coloring you can color with your Copic Markers once the Image is Dry and Shrinked and it doesn't harm your Image or your Copics!! AWESOME!! =)

I have a Video coming Tomorrow for the Blog Hop!!  I hope you'll stop back by to check it out!!
