Happy Birthday- Have a Norse Day!

Hello and welcome back to my blog. It's been way to long since I posted on here. I have a lot of cards to share to be quite honest I just have not had the time to blog them all.  We recently moved and as you know moving is a lot of work. Packing, cleaning, unpacking and all the tasks in between.  But here I am hoping to get back into the swing of things again.  Things are settling down once again and I am going to carve out some time in my day to get the recent projects I've made to you. Then hopefully I can create new projects to share with you very soon.

Ok, enough of my life here is a card I made recently using My Favorite Things BB-54 Viking Stamp set.   To color in the image I used Spectrum Noir markers 
Red: DR3  
Greens: CG1, DG2, DG3 
Beard:TN7 
Brown: GB10 
Colorless Blender
Greys: IG4, IG10

Shield: BT5
Face & hands: E21 Soft sun (copic) 

The image was stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. 

For the sentiment I used Clearly besotted Hip Hop Hoorary stamp set and the MFT BB-54 Viking set again.  I used Simon Says Stamp Clear embossing ink and then used Simon Says Stamp White embossing powder over that on the black card stock and heat set it with my Marvey Heat tool. Before during this I used the anti stactic tool so that the powder only went where I wanted it to.

For the background layer I used some camo paper I had in my collection.  I used the My Favorite Things Rectangle STAX set 1 Die-namics. For this I used my Big Shot Machine by Sizzix.   Then last but not least I distressed the edges of the camo paper and the card base with Vintage Photo distress ink.  To put all the card together I used the Advanced Tape Glider. 


Thank you for stopping by today. Keep coming back as I catch up and share lots of fun projects. You have yourself a Norse day now!

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
