Hello!!
I'm here for the New Paper Sweeties June Inspiration Challenge!!
You're going to LOVE the New Challenge this month!! =)
I've made a Sweet Little Card for today using the Homegrown Stamp Set!!

      Homegrown

I thought it would be FUN to Create a Card that I did some Masking and Watercoloring on and then I added some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker and some WoW Clear Detail Embossing Powder!! I used my Distress Markers and my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to Watercolor the Images and then I layered a BEAUTIFUL Sizzix Doily Die Cut and some Vellum along with a Few Crystal Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, a Burlap Twine Bow and a Vintage Button!! I just LOVE the way it turned out and hope you do too!!??=)

 

I hope you'll stop by to see what the rest of the AMAZING Design Team has created!!

Pin It

HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!!
SQUEAL!! Today is the New November Release Honey Blog Hop with Honey Bee Stamps!! I Can't wait to share what I've made, but first lets take a look at the New Stamps, Dies and Embellishments!! There's a WHOLE LOT of Goodness going on!! I CAN'T even pick a FAVORITE as I LOVE LOVE LOVE them ALL!! =)
    
  


   
  
   
   
   
   
   
SEE I told you!! TOTAL GOODNESS right!!??  =)
I've made a FUN Interactive Pickup Card and a SWEET Little Pickup Gift Tag for my Projects today!! I just LOVE this Sweet Images and ALL of the Possibilities with the Little Pickup Stamp Set!! Its going to be SO VERSITILE for ALL of the Holiday Occasions, but also for those Special Masculine Cards that you need!! I even think its great for PLAY time as my Boys have been using them to Drive around and to just Color and Create FUN scenes on their Own!! I CAN'T say enough about how MUCH use I've already gotten out of it!! =) I've used the Sending You Sentiments Stamp Set for my Sentiment and then I've used the Older More Flakey Friends Stamp Set to help finish off my Scene Design!!
                          
                          

                           

I Stamped and Embossed ALL of my Images and then I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to Watercolor everything on Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Paper!! I then created my Background on a piece of Distress Watercolor Paper using Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers to Watercolor the Background!! I then added some Splatters of both for some Texture and then I added some plain water droplets for even more texture!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment in Black Onyx Versafine Ink my FAVORITE for Crisp Images and then I added some Snow Flakes that I White Embossed for the added feel of a Winter Scene to my Card!! I wanted the Ground to by a Snowy Wonderland so I used a Mixture of the New Ice Chips Glitter and some Martha Stewart Chunky Clear Glitter!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the look in real life!! Then I Die Cut the Channel for my Interactive Pickup using a My Favorite Things Die Set from the Cooler with You Card Kit!! I LOVE how it makes the Pickup look like its driving over a Hill!! SO FUN!! Then I've added Glossy Accents to the Windows, Lights (both the Pickup Lights and the Christmas Tree Lights) and Wheels on the Pickup as well as some Glitter Nuvo Drops to the Stars on the Trees for an added touch of Interest and in real Life I think it just adds SO MUCH!! Then I put it all together and I REALLY LOVE LOVE LOVE how it came together!! =)
For my Gift Tag I used the same Little Pickup Image only this time I stamped the Group of Presents for the back and I Watercolored and added all of the same finishing touches but I Die Cut it Twice using the New Little Pickup Honey Cuts Die Set!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment on the Inside!! My boys discovered that these also make FUN 3-D Pickups to drive around!! So we had to make Several for them to Play with!! HOURS of NON-STOP FUN!! Such a FUN Idea for a Gift too!!
So I hope you FEEL INSPIRED and that you'll go and see what the rest of the AMAZING Design Team and our Special Guest have created using the New Release Products!! Plus,
What’s a Honey Hop without some SWEET Prizes, right!!??

Newton's Nook Designs September 2016 Release ~ Newton's BOO-tiful Night!! =)

Pin It



HELLO!!
SQUEAL!! Who's ready for the Newton's Nook Designs September Release!!?? Today we're showcasing the New "Newton's BOO-tiful Night" Stamp Set!! This set is just too SWEET!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL of the Images and the Sentiments and think you will too!!??  =)

 

Lights ON!!   =)

Lights OFF!!   =)

See I told you!! Just so FUN!! So for today's Card I decided it need to be SPECIAL!! I've been seeing LOTS of the CHIBI Lights Cards and thought it was the PERFECT time to break them out and use them for my Card today!! I went with a pretty complicated Design and if I had to do it over I would have started with something ALOT more Simple for my FIRST CHIBI Light Card, but it turned out AWESOME!! So I guess it was WORTH ALL of the FUN!! LOL!! =)
I Stamped and Embossed my Images First and then had to create my Scene which I Watercolored and did some Colored Embossing for the Moon the Stars and Sentiment!! I used Distress Inks for my Background and then added some Distress Paint Splatters in Black Soot and Picket Fence!! I also Die Cut a Pretty Pink Posh Picket Fence Die Cut to finish off the Scene!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out!! Then I had to Create my Holes for the Lights to shine from!! I First used an Exacto Knife and removed the Pumpkin Faces!! Then colored around the Edges with a Black Soot Distress Marker!! Then I Traced a Piece of Vellum to be the backer to my Pumpkins and colored it a Soft Yellow with a Copic Marker!! Then I Traced the Face Images onto my two Base Panels!! I had to punch through BOTH Pieces to get the lights to shine through!! =) Then I created a Multiple Simple Circuit in order to use 3 Lights one for each of the Pumpkin Faces!! I watched two Helpful Videos!!
One by Jennifer Mcquire and one here by MFT Stamps!! These helped a TON when it came time to design my Circuit on the main Card Base!! I added some Sequins and my Card was done!! SQUEAL!! Then just a WARNING!! If you have Littles that like to ADMIRE your creations be CARFEFUL!! They WILL be AMAZED at these and WILL WARE the Batteries out while looking at them!! My boys played with it SO MUCH I had to add a New Battery just to get the Pictures!! LOL!! =) So just a NOTE if you've been wanting to try these they are FUN to make and pack a HUGE WOW FACTOR!! =)

I hope you feel INSPIRED!!??
