Hello friends. It's pouring rain here today in So Cal and while it may be dreary outside, I've been creating some sunny little cards in my studio. My sweet friend Lisa sent me some adorable My Favorite Things stamps that I could not wait to ink up. That made creating along with this week's Stamp Club Challenge even more fun.

 Let's have a look at the sketch.

Here's my take with the adorable Doodle Garden Sweet as can Bee image.

Supplies: My Mind's Eye patterned paper 6x6 stack , Seam binding ribbon, Papertrey ink coverplate, Spellbinders circle and scallop dies, Tim Holtz button Copic markers and Stickles.

I thought it would be fun to have the honeycomb texture behind the image so I used the circle and cover plate dies to cut the same color cardstock and layered them over one another. Then I just cut away the excess honey comb die.

Stamp Club is a weekly challenge at the MFT blog. Stop by and find out how you can create along for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the store.

Have a creative day!

Wonder of Watercolor: A Moxie Fab World Challenge

Hello friends! I can't believe it's already Friday. I've been enjoying the quiet of my house this morning and creating along with the Moxie Fab World Wonder of Watercolor challenge. I haven't ever tried this technique so I was really interested in giving it a try.

Thankful for your Friendship

Supplies: Simon Says Stamp white cardstock, Anna Griffin embossing folder, Papertrey Ink stamps, Celebrate it ribbon, Simon Says Stamp Sentiment.

I checked out some videos from Hero Arts on YouTube and decided on which watercolor technique I liked. I chose to stamp my image with clear embossing ink and powder on watercolor paper. Then I used Tim Holtz distress Inks and watered them down with a Mini Mister. I them used a paint brush to apply it to my image. I really enjoyed the process and the result.

You can create along with this challenge by visiting the Moxie Fab World blog here.

I look forward to seeing your creation!

Product Scoop: Washi Sheets

I love designing for We R Memory Keepers. Not only do I get to create with the most awesome products ever but they ask me to do fun assignments like their Product Scoops. A couple of  months ago I was asked to create a layout using our new Washi Tape Sheets and the beautiful Antique Chic collection. 

I wanted to show how easy the sheets were to use on layouts and create your own embellishments with.  Here's a layout I created using the black, yellow and grey Washi sheets.

Teddy

by: Shemaine Smith

I used a 3 x 11 3/4 strip of the Washi sheet as a border to build off of. Then it was easy to use the photo frame die from Papertrey Ink for framing these sweet photos taken of my daughter and her beloved "teddy". I used Therm-O-Web 3D foam squares to pop one of them off my page.

The Washi sheets are easy to cut in your paper trimmer.

They are also easy to apply over patterned cardstock and cut with dies like this one from Papertrey Ink.

  

It was so easy to create these butterfly embellishments from the Washi sheet and paper. To finish it off, added one of the fabric buttons from the Antique chic collection.

I really like the We R Memory Keepers Washi sheets. The possibilities really are endless as to what you can create.
