Hello There! I've got a fun interactive card to share with you today. It's a spinner card.  To see just how easy it is and how I did it check out the video over on my YouTube channel. I've always wanted to make a spinner card but they always seemed so complicated to me but I recently watched a video by my friend Lynnea Hollendonner and she made it look so easy. So I finally tried making a spinner card. Lynnea’s Spinner card that inspired this card: https://youtu.be/SJRHa93YNCw To start I used a spellbinders circle die with my big shot machine and cut a circle in the front of my card base.  Then I was ready to work on my card front. I used a stamp set by Beth Duff Designs "Better together" which is no longer available.   Though of course I wanted to use this super cute stamp set and I had a birthday card with this set in mind for awhile. I stamped some of the images from this set in Simon Says Stamp clear embossing ink and used Simon Says Stamp whi...

Hey there! Today I’ve got a new card to share with you and of course there is a video on my YouTube channel so you can see my process. For today’s card I used “My Favorite Things” Pure Innocence Phone Call Away stamp.  I stamped the girl in memento tuxedo black ink and colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers.  I used BT7, BT5, TB6, TB3,EB2 & True Black. For the hair I used black pencil crayon. I used a Sakura white gelly roll pen to add some details to the image.   I cut down a card base from Micheal’s Recollections card stock. Then I was ready to do the background which I did directly on the card base.  I used cracked pistachio distress oxide ink for the for the wall and vintage photo distress oxide ink for the floor on the background. To blend these colors onto my card base I used a Dollarama “Lisa” make up brush.  Then I grabbed stencil from my collection and used broken China distress oxide ink with the stencil to create some wall paper. Then...

Hello there, I’m back.  It’s been just over a week since I shared last that’s because it’s been a little busy in life. Plus I’ve been creating, filming and editing a lot so I can get ahead and bring you new creations faster. Today I’ve got three cards to share with you and of course there is a video over on my YouTube channel. Today’s cards are apart of my Recycle with me card series over on my YouTube channel.  It’s the 6th video in the series so be sure to check them all out if you’re interested.   So for today’s recycle with me cards I’m using a Nestle coffee crisp hot chocolate package.  I loved the bright yellow on the packaging.  I wanted to create some hot chocolate themed cards because not everyone likes coffee. Shocking I know!!! Even the coffee lover enjoys a hot chocolate time to time.   I started off by cutting apart the packaging and picking some pieces from it that I wanted to use on my cards.   For the first card I...

Happy Monday! I've got something different for you today.  I have a video on my YouTube channel using the "Lisa" make up brush from Dollarama. It only comes in a small size as far as I could see and was $3. Dollarama is a Canadian dollar store.   There are alot of similar brushes that have been been becoming popular in the crafting world.  When I saw this one that was exactly the same as some of the ones being reviewed at this price point, I really wanted to try it out as I had not taken the plunge into the make up brush and blending trend yet. The video will explain it best. I feel like I could of said more on the video too. Though I did not want to be repetitive either. So take a watch and see for yourself the results. I also do a quick comparison between the make up brush and the normal ink blending tools and foam blending circles. These brushes are definetly worth it. I felt like I had so much more control. It felt more comfortable in my hands as well. I al...

Hello! I’ve got a fun new card with a video over on my YouTube channel too. This card is a collab with my friend Lynnea Hollendonner.  We both used the stamp set “Winter alpaca” by Lawn Fawn and created two very different cards. I will link below to her blog post and YouTube video Lynnea Hollendonner Links:  Blog Post YouTube Video For my card I started by using broken China distress oxide ink to create part of my background.  I used a Dollarama makeup brush to blend the ink on some card stock to create the sky. (I have a YouTube video coming Monday with more details on the Dollarama make up brush) Then to add some detail to my sky I used a spray bottle and added some water to the ink and dabbed off the ink with a paper towel.  Then I was ready for the stamp set “winter alpaca” from Lawn Fawn. I stamped the alpaca image in memento tuxedo black ink. I got put my Spectrum Noir markers to color this in. I used BG6, BG2, BT7, BT5 and EB1. T...

Hello there, I’ve got a bunch of new cards to share with you today. Six of them to be exact and I could of made more. For today’s cards it’s a part of my Recycle with me series over on my YouTube channel. This will be the 5th video in that series so be sure to head over to YouTube and see all the videos so far and see how I’ve been using recycled supplies in cards. We recently had a snow fall.  Where I live we don’t get too much snow but because of that we are never prepared for it.  So my husband was home from work for a day so we were able to have a lot of fun in the snow with the kids.  Also while my husband was home I was able to switch some things around in our closet and I was inspired by this winter gift bag since we just had a snowfall.  The great thing about using a gift bag is you could do it for any occasion you can find a cute gift bag for.  Birthdays, weddings, and so much more.  The dollar store is a great place to find gift bags fo...

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I have another recycle with me project here and over on my YouTube channel with a video. It's #4 in the series over on YouTube. So today's project is not a card but a valentine treat bookmark.  For the bookmark I used My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags Layers STAX Die-namics. ( This set is discontinued, but I will link to a similar set from MFT & also Simon Says Stamp)  I used the big shot machine to cut those out. For these super cute images and sentiments I used Lawn Fawn's stamp set my silly valentine.  I colored the images with spetrum noir markers.  I used the browns, yellows, reds, cool greys, and turquoise markers For the recycled part of my card I used the sleeves the chocolate comes in from after eight chocolates to create a little pocket for a valentine candy treat. I used Simon Says Stamp clear embossing ink to ink up the sentiments on each little black pocket from the after eight chocolates....
