Thinking Of You Vase Card...

Hey there friends, HappyMonday!

I hope you are not iced in like I am but if you are we might as well 

get crafty right?

This card I made using the newest Avocado Arts Stamp Set

call Hello Spring and for the vase I used Clear Scraps acrylic which

I stamped on using StazOn then I coated the back side with

Glass Effects before putting it on the card.

 I love how I ended up with a mixed media style card!

Here is the full set and as always it's such an adorable mix.

Prizes And Inspiration Mini Album Using Calypso

Hey there friends, 

I have a special project today from Xyron and Quick Quotes.

When I received my package from Xyron with the Quick Quotes

products I saw these awesome quotes- things I always am saying

or thinking about, so I decided instead of a traditional mini album. 

I would create an Inspiration Mini Keychain Album for a friend. 

 You know something to inspire her when she looks at it. 

 Things like "You are amazing just the way you are"

 And "TAKE RISKS If you win you will be happy if you lose you will be wise". 

I thought it would be a meaningful way to let her know I support her. 

 For this project I used my Xyron 3" Sticker Maker, Xyron Adhesive

Dots, Xyron Teresa Collins Clear Hold Adhesive, Quick Quotes Calypso

products, Clear Scraps Mini Tab Album and Connie Crystal Angel Crystal. 

 I love the end result and I hope it inspires her. 

 Check out the cool quotes in this set. 

And he sure to hit up Xyron and QQ to enter to WIN a prize package too!

Quick Quotes Wings......Believe

Good morning again friends and welcome to another lovely Quick Quotes project!

I am excited to share this wall hanging I created for a friend who has a

beautiful beach house and I thought it would be fun to make a handmade house

warming gift for her and her family. 

The Serendipity 300 papers were so gorgeous I had to use them.

I ran the chipboard wings through my Xyron and covered them with

Serendipity 300 trimming off all the edges. 

 Then I added the gemstones and crystals. 

I hot glued the wings together. 

After that I added the Calypso 500 page to cut out the 

Achieve, Dream, Imagine, Believe.

 Then I added the ribbons and flowers for that soft beachy feel. 

 This paper is stunning in person and make's a beautiful project!

I have so enjoyed being the guest designer for QQ and hope you enjoyed my quirky

sense of style and creativity. 

Until next time- Keep on creating!

Calypso papers and embellishments. 

 I also stamped on each card using the PowderPuff Chalking Inks

On this last card I even used the beautiful Itty Bitty Boxes

of Vellum Quotes- how handy are these??! I mean serious love!

~Thanksgiving Card- Acrylic & Stamping!!~

Good morning my friends and Happy Monday! :) 

It's fall break in my neck of the woods and the perfect time to 

sneak in some crafting since I don't have to run around with these

beautiful boys of mine! 

I snuck away this weekend and created this card using the 

new Gobble Till You Wobble stamp set~

I love that it's whimsical but also pretty for fall. 

And I tried something BRAND NEW for me! :) 

I used my Silhouette Cameo and the cut files to create the 

little bucks of wheat, then I stamped them with the coordinating stamps.

I have to admit I was a little intimidated but it came out beautifully.

Now for the acrylic stamping I had to use StazOn Gold Metallic Ink.

It worked perfectly of course.  

The card itself is the Clear Scraps Belgrave card- LOVE using the acrylic.

I used Viva Decor Pearl Pens to create the pearls. 

And Quick Quotes papers for the rest. 

Fun project- I love fall!!!

Don't forget to go see the rest of the crew and what they have created,

their work is always just incredible!
