A Monster Sized Hello!

Hi,

I have always love Paper Smooches and Kim's Monster was always one of my  favorites stamps from the Falling For You set.  I was excited to see that she had a die like the stamp with an outline....so Fun!
I used the brand NEW Hello die by Paper Smooches a long with a Karen Burniston Friend to make a Fun greeting....




I colored my Monster, Hello and Ground using Distress Oxides. The wood background is paper by Elizabeth Craft Designs and is Awesome...
Head to the Paper Smooches Blog and see ALL the Awesome New stamps and dies just released.
Supplies I used are linked below!
Thank You for stopping by today and have a Wonderful day....

A Birthday Butterfly Pop Up

Hi,

My Mojo has been suffering a bit so I decided to get out my Chameleon Pens and the Color Tops and play....the Prickley Pear Butterfly sets were perfect to practice fusing two different colors. These color tops are such a great addition to the already Fun Chameleon pens....
I ended to make a Pop Up Window card.   I used the Katherine Label Pop Up set for the part that pops up but instead of the shape that comes in that set I used the Snowman Twist Circle Pop Up Set and made a round window card.





 The card in the open position.....



And a Few close up's of the Butterflies so you can see the effect you get when color fuses from one color to the next.



You can actually fuse three colors, here 
I fused two.....

Supplies I used are linked below Thanks for stopping by today and have a Perfect Monday!

I Have a Pink Christmas Card and Tutorial over on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog Today!

Hi,

Well this month marks a year since my diagnosis and the 21st was the anniversary of my first breast cancer surgery!  I have really come to Love and appreciate the color Pink and can't think of a better color for my Christmas cards this year.  I saw a snowflake card created by Debbie Olsen using some MFT supplies and since Elizabeth Craft Designs has some very beautiful Snowflakes I decided to play and see if I could come up with a simple design that could be easily duplicated. I had to make some stamps from my dies and it was really pretty fun....

Below are three cards I created!


Go HERE for the full tutorial and step out photos!

A Set of 4Bar cards using some Fun Paper Smooches dies!

Hi,

Before I left for Scottsdale to have my surgery I made myself a card kit that had all the elements pre cut so all I had to do was color and put everything together even the stamping was done ahead of time. I knew I would need something to do even though I would be mostly resting I thought this would be a fun thing....and it was!
I made a set of six 4Bar cards that I will put in a little gift card set on day soon!

Here are my cards.....


I just adore this Paper Smooches Cactus die set and I love adding the Fun glassed (also Paper Smooches)
The sentiments were stamped using some Paper Smooches sentiments onto ground I had cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs Adventure Edges.
The Stitched and Scalloped rectangles are also Elizabeth Craft Designs as well as the woodgrain papers.

Supplies I used are linked below...
I'm hoping to be able to start crafting a little in a few days I'm starting to feel pretty good but do not have my full range of motion with my arms just yet....

Thank you for stopping and have a Great day!!
XOXO

A Gentle Reminder......

As I approach a year from my biopsy date, the day I knew I had a long fight ahead of me.  I am so grateful for all of my support, friends and family have made this journey so much easier on me.  I have another surgery on the 9th of this month but am hoping this will be the last, four in a year is a bit much for anyone. I was reminded yesterday by the Ellen Hutson Blog Hop and fundraiser that I needed to get my stamp set out and make more cards to take to Phoenix with me this week....I usually put a 5.00 Starbucks gift card in them as an added surprise.

Here is a card I made today and plan to make several others....


And another view....


Such an Awesome stamp set and I love that 25.00 from each set sold goes directly to BCRF!
You can get the set HERE!
