Well hello, It seem like forever that I’ve had the opportunity to sit and just play.. I decided to play in a few challenges this weekend. I love Claire’s sketch over at Paper Players this week it’s perfect for the theme at Festive Friday’s challenge Easter or Flowers. I’m trying to use my supplies, perfect opportunity to use the Simon Says Stamp Easter Card Kit. The cross image in Easter Wishes stamp set is very compelling to me.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White card and colored with various Copic Markers. I had tons of fun putting this card together. Hope you like my take on the challenges.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Please leave a comment and come back later in the week to see how much fun I had this weekend!

I’ve spent so much time over the holiday weekend playing with paper and it’s no exception this morning I put the finishing touches on my card for the challenge over at The Paper Players.
For my card today I went with the Congratulations theme. I stamped the SSS Floral Bliss floral image with Versamark ink and heat embossed with SSS Ultra Fine Gold EP on a sheet of pink 6×6 pattern paper from the Echo Park Wedding Bliss paper collection that was included in the June 2017 SSS Card kit. I really love this kit the papers and stamp set are perfect for wedding cards

I picked the black floral pattern paper and added a strip of gold foil paper to draw your eyes too the stamped image on the muted pink paper.

I heat embossed the congratulations sentiment on a strip of black cardstock with the same SSS Ultra Fine Gold EP and adhered it on the card with foam tape to give it dimension. I added a few embellishments with the Nuvo Glitter Drops in Honey Gold to finish off the card and adhered it to a top-fold Neenah Solor white card base.

Hello my crafty friends…… I’ve been playing with paper quite a bit this week. I created a Birthday card for my Boss with a new technique for me marbling……. It was super cool. I have a quick post this evening for yah! I actually created this card earlier but I used craft cardstock instead wasn’t sure about the effect so I recreated it on Neenah Solar white… I pulled out a few copic markers and went to town coloring that cross. I knew the look I wanted I masked off the cross to create those soft rays with So Saffron ink.
Hope you like my take on the challenge over at The Paper Players this week the theme is Easter……. which is just a few days away…….. Well my friends I’m off to Stampin Up On Stage event this Saturday so I don’t know how much crafting I’ll get done this weekend. Hopefully I’ll get to play just a little……….

Hello, My crafty friends.. we’re almost there the weekend is just a few hours away. Woot! Woot! I’m hoping I’ll get to play a lot this weekend in the haven…… This evening I’m playing over on The Paper Players blog and it’s all about showcasing those sentiments……. I knew the stamp set I wanted to use wasn’t sure about the type of medium I was going to use to get the look I wanted. I pulled out the Mama Elephant Botanic Hello stamp set. I stamped the image on Strathmore Bristol paper used my Zig Clean color markers to color the flowers……… The Bristol paper and Zigs are a perfect match. I used a few markers but to get the almost sunset look on two of the flowers I blended the orange and pink on top of each other…. not so bad right. I added a little sparkle on the Hello with my Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen. You see a little bit of the shimmer on the Hello it’s a soft shimmery look. Happy TGIF eve and I’ll catch you later.
