Avery Elle Otterly Fantastic Valentine's Day Card

Hello there, it’s Tuesday and it’s almost Valentine’s Day.  Do you make Valentine’s Day cards or projects? Today I’ve got a Valentine’s Day themed card for you here and a video over on my YouTube channel.

Today’s card features otters from Avery Elle ‘s stamp set “ otterly fantastic”.  

I stamped the images in Memento tuxedo black ink and then used some colorific oil pastels I’ve had in my collection of art supplies for a long time to color in all the images.  I am not familiar with this medium but I just experimented with them and made them work for me. I added the color and then used paper towel to blend and spread the color. I really like how it turned out.  

I cut down my card base from Micheal’s Recollections card stock and then created my background the same way with the pastels.  

Then I was ready to do the sentiment. I grabbed some black card stock and the anti static pouch to prepare the surface for stamping.  I used Simon Says Stamp clear embossing ink to stamp the various sentiments on the black card stock from the same Avery Elle stamp set.  I used Micheal’s Recollections white embossing powder and melted the embossing powder with the Marvey heat tool. 

At this point I was ready to adhere the images and sentiments to the card base.  I used the Xyron sticker maker and gem tac glue to do this.   

To finish off the card I used morning dew and midnight blue Nuvo crystal drops to add some dimension and water bubbles to the card.  (I picked these two colors up from amazon.ca from the add on program for $3.98, which is a great deal, see links below. Next time you place an amazon order add these to your cart too)

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile.  Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset.  So we created this fun project to the theme of the song.      First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine.      Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
