Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Lawnscaping Challenge. I played along one or twice last year, so I’m happy to play along today.
The challenge this time is all about DIMENSION! Adding pops of dimension to your project really add that wow factor to your projects.
Take a look at my card:
I’ve added plenty dimension to my card.
Here is how I created my card:
1. I cut my card to a 5 x 3.5 scored at 3.5.
2. I used Lawn Fawn Dream stamp set to stamp the small feather with Lawn Fawn Fake Tan Ink.
3. I cut a thin strip of Lawn Fawn Beachside Pattern Paper and adhered it over the stamped feathers. I also die cut the feathers from the same paper using the Lawn Fawn Dream Cuts.
4. I cut a thin strip of Stampin’ Up! Brushed Gold cardstock and adhered it on top of the pattern paper.
5. I adhered the feathers.
6. I die cut Lawn Fawn Scripty Hello four times and stacked them on top of each other. I adhered the stacked die to the center of my card.
Super doper easy and I like this card size. I’m glad I tried it.
I’m also linking my card to Virginia’s View Challenge #14: Layers and Dimensions.

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our April Challenge!
This months challenge is going to be super fun!! Its all about getting Your Color On!
You can color anything as long as its bright, vibrant and full of color. No monochrome, dark or grungy projects, they need to be BRIGHT!! You don’t have to use every color in the rainbow all at once…but think along those lines!!
I told you this well be super fun. I was apart of a 30 day coloring challenge last month so this will be awesome to continue that fun.
Take a look at my project:
If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you will know that I love these birds. I think they are the funniest image ever.
They are such great images to practice your coloring on. I’ve used all different types of mediums with them.
For this card I used distress inks to watercolor this bird. I love how picked raspberry and mustard seed blend together.
Check out this card:
I told you I can’t get enough of this stamp set! LOL!!
Creating these cards were so easy and stress relieving.
Here’s how:
1. I cut my watercolor paper panel a couple sizes smaller then my black card base.
2. I stamped Tim Holtz Bird Crazy onto my watercolor panel using Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink. I used that ink because its waterproof, which means no smudging!!
3. I spread Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed Distress Ink onto my craft sheet. I spritz it with water and used my paintbrush to add the colors to my watercolor panel, very freely.
4. Once I had enough color on my paper I heat set it.
5. I used Winnie and Walters The Big, the Bold and the Happy to stamp my sentiment using the same jet black ink.
6. I adhered the watercolor panel to my black card base using fun foam. The fun foam keeps the watercolor panel straight and even.
7. For the second card I used Evergreen Bough and Mustard Seed Distress Ink.
I love how my cards turned out. They are nice a bright with color!!
Now its your turn to play along with us.

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Waffle Flower Crafts Photo Inspiration Challenge!! This is our fourth challenge and I’m getting better at this as the time past.
These photo are really an inspiration to me. I would never think to put these colors together so I’m totally grateful for them. I get to venture out into new “color” territory. No more red, blue, and yellow, LOL!!
Take a look at my card:
The colors for this challenge are amazing. They remind me of spring. So I decided to create a spring card. I can’t wait for the snow to disappear.
To create this card:
I started with a textured creamy caramel cardstock, (sorry I can’t remember the name), cut to an A2 size card.
I stamped stem, flower and leaves from Waffle Flower Rock My World Stamp Set, with Versamark; add white embossing powder and heat set the images.
I used my Stampin’ Up! Mellon Mambo and Bermuda Bay Blendabilities and a YG13 Copic marker to color my flowers. Practicing my color skills for Kathy’s 30 day coloring challenge.
I stamped “Hello ” from Waffle Flower Rock My World Stamp set and “Hola” from Waffle Flower DT Mix Stamp Set.
I added Stampin Up! rhinestones the center of each flower.
Done!! So what do you think? Please let me know. Now its your turn! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!

Hello everyone! I’m here today with a new stamp company that I found on Instagram. The name of the company is Gerda Steiner Designs. She has a digital stamps and a couple of rubber stamps. The images are so cute.
After I bought a couple of stamps both digital and rubber, I realized she also has a monthly challenge. So I knew I had to give this challenge a try.
Some of you know that I’m currently taking the new online card class, which works perfectly with this challenge since I have to color the image.
For this September challenge we had to use the “Kid With Pumpkin Cart” image. This bundle is on sale right now, so don’t wait to pick it up.
Here is what my card looks like:
1. I used Mama Elephant Femme Frames Creative Cuts to cut out my Neenah Solar White Cardstock for a stitched boarder.
2. I used Copic markers to color my image.
Pumpkin: YR02, YR04, YRo7
Wagon: E33, E35, E37
Wheels: YR04, N4, N5
Scarf, Hat Gloves, Pocket: YR12, YR15, YR16
Coat: YG63, YG67
Face: E00, E11, R20
Hair: E33, E35
3. I added Pumpkin Skittles to the four corners of my image for added dimension.
4. I used the sentiment “Hello Fall” from Stampin’ UP! For All Things Stamp Set.
So what do you think? What do you think of my coloring? I like it. Still needs work, but I’m doing much better with every try!
Head on over to Gerda Steiner Designs and check her out.
I’m also entering this card into the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge to encourage all of you to give it a try! The theme is Anything Goes. The prize pack is so cute.

Disclaimer: Gerda Steiner Design did not ask me to promote her product, I’m promoting it because I truly love her images and have purchase them myself.
Hello everyone!! I’m here with Muse Challenge #84. This week Muse was Therese Calvird and I have to say her card is ABSOLUTELY Beautiful!
Take a look at Therese’s card:
When I say it I was taken back. Her butterfly was so pretty and I love how she broke it up.
I still can’t figure how she did it. It looks like embossing paste but how did she stamp on that. Then I thought she stamped the image and then use her die cut to cut the panel. That made more sense but still I was intrigued.
So I decided to to give this card a try.
On August 8th, 2014 I posted a picture of a Jamaican butterfly that I fell in love with on Instragram, wishing all Jamaican’s Happy Independence Day. I also mentioned that that butterfly would be my next butterfly card inspiration.
Here is the picture of the butterfly:
Here is my card:
Here is the card flat:
So how did I create this card? Here you go:
1. I stamped Papertrey Ink Life is Beautiful large butterfly in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on my Neenah Solar White card panel.
2. I colored the butterfly with Copic markers G28 and Y13.
3. I used Papertrey Ink Stripes Horizontal Cover Plate and cut the card panel.
4. I used Papertrey Ink Wet Paint to stamp my sentiment on one of the horizontal die cuts.
5. I carefully placed the strip back in place but lifting some of them with foam adhesive.
6. I had a couple of Lawn Fawn Scripty Hello die cut already so I adhered two together for thickness. I use glue and added it to the front of my card.
7. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the butterfly and the hello.
8. I added Pretty Pink Posh Clear Sequins and Stampin’ Up! Rhinestones to the card to spice it up.
So what do you think? Did my card pass this Muse test?
Please let me know!

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #179: Emboss Resist Using Diecut.
I’m so excited to be able to play along with them this week. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to play with them in awhile.
I’m also playing along with Simon Says Stamp: Create Your Own Background!
Laura Bassen showed us how to stretch our die cuts by using them as a stencil to emboss resist! I had so much fun creating this card.
Take a look at my card:
1. I used Papertrey Ink’s Circle Die Cover Plate to create my background.
2. I die cut the cover plate and taped it down over my Neenah Solar White Card Stock card panel.
3. I applied the Versamark Ink directly on top of my circle stencil.
4. I added Hero Arts White Embossing powder to the versamark card panel. I heat set it.
5. I blended Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise, Hibicus Burst and Pure Poppy with my Mini Ink Blending Tool on my embossed card base.
6. I used a damp napkin and wiped of the ink from my embossed circle so that they look nice and white.
7. I cut two scribbles out of vellum using the Papertrey Ink’s Circle Scribbles Die.
8. I cut two hello’s from Lawn Fawn Scripty Hello Die out of Stampin’ Up! Basic Black cardstock.
9. I stamped my sentiment from Papertrey Ink Wet Paint III on Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
10. I adhered the scribbles down with Tombo Multipurpose Glue, then added the hello die on top of that. I added the stamp sentiment underneath the hello.
11. I added Wink of Stella to the hello die cut.
I think this card turned out very pretty. I love how the colors blended together. So tell me what you think.

Hello everyone! I’m here today with CAS(E) this sketch #91! The sketch artist is N@Ali and her sketch is right up my alley, Clean and Simple!
Take a look at her sketch:
I’m also here with Paper Smooches Sparks: Anything Goes.
When I saw this sketch, I wanted to add a butterfly to my card because I love butterflies and they look so pretty on simple cards.
I decided against it because earlier this week I said I was going to start using things in my craft corner that I hardly or never use, so that is what I did.
Take a look at my card:
This card was pretty easy to create. I love these colors, they are so pretty.
Here is how I created this card:
1. I cut my Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss cardstock to a A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50)
2. I cut a 1′ stripe of Stampin’ Up! Moonlight DSP and flagged the end. I adhered it to my card front using Fuse Fast Adhesive.
3. I cut out two flowers using Stampin’ Up! Blossom Punch out of Stampin’ Up! Hello Honey cardstock and Moonlight DSP. I adhered the flowers on top of one another catty-corner so you could see both of them using the Fuse Fast Adhesive.
4. I also cut out 4 “hello’s” using Technique Tuesdays Say It-Hello die out of Stampin’ Up! Hello Honey cardstock. I adhered to my card base using the Fuse Fast Adhesive.
5. Something was missing so I added Stampin’ Up! Vintage Faceted Button to the center of the flower.
6. I then added a retired Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone to the center of that button for added interest. I used the Hello Honey marker to color the rhinestone. I rounded the corners.
7. My daughter said my card wasn’t complete without some Clear Wink of Stella on the word hello. So I added that, lol.
So what do you think? Please let me know down below.
