Happy howlidays!

Hello I’ve got a new card to share with you today. Also a process video over on my YouTube channel with my first impressions of distress oxide inks.  I did something different for this process video. I talk at the beginning no voice over was done as I shared my first impressions of using distress oxide inks for the first time and then to complete my card I just added music during the card making process. This is #3 in my Christmas card series so be sure to check out the other Christmas videos too.

Let me know in the comments below if you liked just the music or you like a voice over during the whole video?  I might switch it up every once and awhile. The music you are hearing was arranged by my husband too.  

So for the background of the card I used Ranger Distress ink water color paper.  Then I used broken China distress oxide ink and blended that onto the paper using distress ink tool.    

I colored the puppy from Avery Elle from the stamp set “Happy Howlidays”. I colored him in with Spectrum Noir markers.   I used markers from the warm greys and turquoise sets. I also used the Sakura white Jelly Roll pen to add highlights to the puppy. He was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used my Big Shot machine to cut the hills out from Lawn Fawn’s simple stitched hillside boarder die.  Then I used vintage photo distress ink and the distress ink tools to add the color to hill.  

To adhere the hill and puppy  to the card panel I used foam squares I picked up at Dollarama.  Then used the advanced tape glider to adhere the panel to the card base.  

For the sentiment I used the antic static tool and used the sentiment from the same Avery Elle stamp set. I used Simon Says Stamp Clear embossing ink and used Recollections embossing powder called Clear Bark. Then I used the marvey heat tool to melt the embossing powder.  

For the sequins I used crafty medley sequins packs and adhered them using Elmer’s dual tip  glue pen.  As a final touch I used the wink of Stella clear brush marker to add some sparkle to the puppy’s scarf.

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
