The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak It's A Shore Thing

Hi there!  It's hard to believe that the sneak peaks of the newest TCM stamps are coming to an end!  If you just happened to pop by here and need a heads-up, be sure to go to The Craft's Meow to get you started!  I have one more set to share with you today called It's A Shore Thing.  Designed by Michelle Bertuzi, this set will fill in your summer stamp needs perfectly!  I went super clean and graphic as well as simple for my sample today.

Starting with a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 card base, rounded all the corners and stamped the beach ball image across the front.  Took Copic markers and scribbled in some color in each section (a fun technique Mariana Grigsby did for a card in Stamp It Techniques).

I took the Happy Birthday sentiment and stamped it repeatedly on the left side of my card.  Easy peasy!

Sending You Sunshine The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak

Hello!  Today, I am sharing a couple cards I made using a really fun summery set called Sending You Sunshine!  Oh the images in this set are just too fun!  Are you enjoying the festivities so far?  I hope so!  Remember, leave a comment on all the blogs for a chance to win the set and be sure to check at the TCM blog to see if you were the lucky winner. Now, for today's sneaks...

Starting with a white card base, I created my scene with various collections from October Afternoon.

Trimmed some Ripe Avocado card stock to look like rolling hills.

Stamped and cut out my trees, sun and cloud and colored in some of the various images.  Cut a strip of Ripe Avocado, stamped and heat embossed my sentiment, popped it up and added a red twill ribbon.

For my next card, I went very simple with this and used the banner image to paper-piece my images.

Added some red and white Baker's twine and tied two little bows and adhered them to the ends.

The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak Timeless Tags

Hello!  So what did you think of yesterday's previews?  Pretty flowers huh?  Well today I have another sneak of a set called Timeless Tags.  Now, who doesn't love tags?  Check out what The Craft's Meow has in store on June 1st!

Starting by layering this gorgeous paper from Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime, I inked my papers, layered them, added a bit of faux stitching with a white gel pen.

I stamped my frame and a coordinating sentiment and cut it out, layering it on top of a trimmed doily.

I added a bit of white ribbon, accented with a couple buttons and some twine.  I also tucked into the know two stick pins.

How bout another little project I whipped up?  This one is totally clean and graphic, just to show you how versatile this set can be.

Using one of my favorite color combos, I grabbed Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest and True Black inks, stamped my frame in different directions.  Please forgive my corner oopsie...that's what you get when you try to hurry!!

Threaded a few True Black buttons with some orange floss...

Lastly, stamped my sentiment in the orange frame and rounded the bottom corners!

I hope you enjoyed today's preview!  I can't wait to show you more!

Check out the samples from the rest of the team.

Hi!  I am popping back in to share my Card Patterns card with you all!  Our wonderful sponsor is DRS Designs and I chose to work with their lovely image called 3 Butterflies.  I love butterflies and these are so pretty!

Printed my images onto white card stock, colored them in with Copic Markers, added a bit of sparkle with a Spica pen and distressed the circle with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I stamped my sentiment in Rich Cocoa using Sentiment Sampler by Paper Smooches.  I then colored a separate butterfly, cut it out and popped it up.

Adhered some lovely October Afternoon papers from Fly A Kite, that I distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  Die cut a scallop strip of Vintage Cream and distressed it with more Antique Linen ink, along with adding a thin strip of patterned paper.

Lastly, I tied two bows from Orange Zest Twill and adhered them to my card.

Well, I hope you decide to play along with us this week, thank you for stopping by!

The Craft's Meow Sneak Peak Celebrating You

Hello!  Today I have a little sneaky-peaky at a new set coming out called Celebrating You from The Craft's Meow which will be available for purchase on June 1st!!  This set is so elegant and lovely, Nina did an outstanding job on it!  Let's take a peek shall we?

I started by taking a Berry Sorbet card stock panel and stamping the outlined floral image (Fuchsia flower) in Fresh Snow ink.  After I allowed it to dry, I outlined the image with a Copic marker near the card stock color.  I love this look and owe Nicole Heady for the inspiration!

I adhered the panel to black card stock and mounted it onto a white card base, which I then added a little strip with my sentiment and two buttons layered together.

Thank you for taking a look!  Be sure to check out what my team mates did with this set, you won't be disappointed!

"Well Done"

Happy Friday my friend!  I wanted to take the opportunity to pop in a challenge card today since the next couple of days I will be sharing sneak peaks of the really fun stamps being released by The Craft's Meow.

For my card today I combined CAS-ual Fridays Graduation challenge with Embellish magazines Text challenge!  Not my normal colors, but super fun to get out of my comfort zone with.  Here is what I came up with:

Starting with a white card stock panel, I randomly stamped a graduation cap.

I sliced off the bottom of the white panel and adhered a strip of Smokey Shadow card stock stamped with text in white ink, tied around some black floss and rounded the corners.

Using SRM Stickers Congratulation sticker sheet, I adhered my sentiment.  I adhered my panel with foam adhesive to an Ocean Tides card base.

Here is a look at the Embellish Challenge colors:

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see what TCM has in store for  the June release!

Bold Thank You

Hey there!  It's Thursday, wahoo!  What a crazy week it has been for me, but never to crazy to make a card!  For today, I have a little Tuesday Trigger love for ya!  Did you see that pic?  What a great title for the Trigger, The Pyrex Effect!  I actually have a set of vintage Pyrex in Green, and I love them, too bad I haven't found them in these colors!  Here is what I came up with.

Started by stamping medallions from Giga Guidelines across the card in Pure Poppy.  I stamped an image from Springtime Doodles, that looks like a birds body, onto white card stock and colored it with Copic Markers, cut it out and adhered them.  Lastly, I added some big red gems to the centers.

I added strips of card stock in the colors from the pic.

Die cut white card stock using the fillable frames #4 die and stamped a sentiment from the same set in Memento ink and adhered it to my card front.

Here is the inspirational photo:

Well, that's it for me today!  I hope you have a great day and thank you sooo much for stopping by and leaving me love!

On Your Wedding Day- Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Hello hello!  Today is the Papertrey Ink Blog hop!!  The theme for this month is flowers, love flowers! What?  You didn't know that?!  Heehee.  For my card today, I had to use the lovely rose image from YOF: Roses.  I went with a very neutral color scheme of Fine Linen, Kraft, Vintage Cream and White! 

Started by stamping my rose with Versamark and heat embossing it with White powder onto a Fine Linen panel.

Stamped my sentiment onto Kraft cardstock and adhered it to my panel.

Added some lace trim, pearls (yes those were individual, I am crazy) and satin ribbon and adhered my panel to a Vintage Cream base!

Thank you so much for hopping my way!  Enjoy the inspiration today!

Just A Note

Hey there my friend!  I have another card I made using the Chevron Chic Challenge over at the Moxie Fab World.  I was inspired by one of the pictures Cath posted, all of those pinks!  Love!

For my card I started by stamping the chevron pattern onto a vintage cream panel.  Matted my panel onto a piece of Sweet Blush cardstock.

Stamped a frame from Fillable Frames #10 and then a sentiment from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler.

Die cut some flowers from the Beautiful Blooms die series and stitched them together and added a big gem.

Here is the pic:

I hope you enjoyed!  Have a great day my friend!

With Sympathy

Hello!  I always look forward to Make-It-Monday's from Papertrey Ink!  Love the videos and the challenges they present.  For today I thought I would combine the colors of Kraft, Light Plum and Plum from CR84FN with MIM's callenge to make a Sympathy card.   

To start I die cut the tag from Fillable Frames #9 from the ledger paper in BasicGrey's Basic 6x6 Kraft pad.  Adhered them to a Rustic Cream card base.  I took the silhouette images from Life and stamped them in two different purple inks.

Using True Black ink, I stamped my sentiment and added a few purple rhinestones.

Lastly, I tied on some Rustic Twine.

Here are the inspirational colors:

I hope you enjoyed, thank you for stopping by!

Hello Friend

Happy Sunday friend!  So, I have a very sunny, happy card for you today that I made using the latest CAS-ual Friday challenge- Bring the Bling!  Eek, love this challenge blog!  How bout you, have you played along yet?  Funny how this seems to be where my style leads me lately.  I think I will just roll with it!

Starting with an Orange Zest panel, I stamped my flower from Hero Arts/BasicGrey Hello Luscious stamps in Versamark and heat embossed it with white powder.  I then added some Rusty Hinge Distress Ink to the petals for depth, adding those lovely gems to the center!

I stamped my sentiment, inking the words seperately so they were next to each other onto a strip of white cardstock, matted it with yellow and adhered it to my cardfront with foam.

I hope this is CAS enough!  Sometimes I don't know when to stop!  Well, have a great day!
