Dino-rific!

LawnFawnDino2
 
I can't believe a week has already gone by since my last post! Today I have a fun card to show you using the Lawn Fawn stamp and die set "Critters From The Past". I colored my pre-historic scene using Spectrum Noir markers. The clouds were stamped and heat embossed with white powder using the Lawn Fawn set "Into The Woods".

I am happy you stopped by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

A Little Kindness

ALittleKindness
 
Hello and welcome to Friday! This has been a long week, and I am happy, and excited the weekend is here. I am also excited to share this card with you today! My card features the new Stampin' Up stamp set "Kinda Eclectic". I stamped the butterflies using Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant. The woodgrain background was also stamped using Perfect Plum on Perfect Plum card stock. That's a lot of plum! You cannot tell from the picture, but the star burst was stamped in versamark and heat embossed with  SU gold powder.
 
I am happy you stopped by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
 
 
 
This set is right up my alley, butterflies, beautiful sentiment, polka dots! What's not to love?

News Flash!

Haha! Got your attention did I? Well, the brand new set "Calling All Heroes" from Stampin' Up! captured mine too. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be mine.
 

                      This set retails for $25.95. Each plastic sheet is 4x6. That's a lot of stamps! I had so much fun creating my card and tag. If you would like to order this limited edition (It isn't a catalog stamp set and is only available for a limited time.) Please visit my store here and order it today!

June Is A Great Month For Birthday's

N&TBirthday
 
    June is a fun month in the Zalis family, Joe and I share the same birthday, June 29th! I also have 3 friends that share this day as well. Fun! Anyways, today I am sharing a card I created using more stamps from my Stamping Royalty prize package. This card was created using the Neat and Tangled stamp set "Just For You". This one is so cute! I used Stampin' Up ink to stamp my balloons, Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding and Early Espresso. (My new go-to dark ink for sentiments and outlines.) I stamped the balloons in a pattern, and to add a little extra definition I only gave the Strawberry Slush balloons an outline. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card, and then stamped the banner by itself, cut it out, and attached it to my card using foam adhesive. I hope you like my card! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Manly Man Cards

MFT1
 
     In honor of Father's Day I am sharing two masculine cards I created using Papertrey Inks "Just Zoomin' By" and MFT "Hit the Road" Die-namics dies and stamp set that were a part of my Stamping Royalty package. Both cards pretty much speak for themselves, so I will keep this post short.

This is a fun card featuring MFT stamps and dies, but the bicycle die is by Your Next Stamp.
 
I'm glad you stopped by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Be You..

Be You
 
     I'm sorry my blog has been quiet, it was just one of those weeks. Yesterday I sat down in my craft room, with no real idea's in mind, so I grabbed one of my favorite stamp sets, some of my favorite inks, and I just started stamping. After playing with a few designs I settled on this one. I used the Altenew stamp set "Painted Flowers". The ink colors I used are all from Stampin' Up! Island Indigo, Soft Sky, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, and Cool Cabana. I know I constantly rave about them, but I love, love my SU ink! I added a different stitching design then my normal, and to give my card a little bit more POP I adhered my card base to Stampin' Up! Basic Black card stock.
   That's all I have for today. I'm happy you stopped by and I hope you are having a lovely day!

  Today I am sharing a card I created using Neat And Tangled Stamps. I used "My Favorite" and "Sunburst". I love how these sets work perfectly together! I used a sponge and ink to ink up my Sunburst stamp. The sentiment was stamped using Early Espresso by Stampin' Up! I hope you like my card, and thank you for stopping by today!

Golden Congrats!

SUThurs
I am excited to share today's card with you! I created this card using ONLY Stampin' Up product (SUO). I used  Stippled Blossoms, and the "masking technique" to create my floral background. The colors I used are Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride, Wild Wasabi, and Pistachio Pudding. The congrats die-cut is from the March Paper Pumpkin Kit. I coated it with spray adhesive, and then sprinkled it with gold glitter. I used gold sequins from the Occasions catalog to accent my card.
 
I am happy you stopped by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

May Paper Smooches Guest Designer Week #4 - Homemade

PS1
 
  Today I am sharing my final cards as the May Paper Smooches Guest Designer. I have really enjoyed this month, and am thankful that I was given the opportunity to be a guest designer. The cards I am sharing today feature stamps from "Kitschy Kitchen" and the "Apron" die set. I created a little card set with coordinating envelopes. There was a third card but I didn't want to make my post too picture heavy.

Water Color Thank You's

SU5
 
Today I have a handful of cards to share with you using  Stampin' Up ink, card stock,  and stamps! product! I used the photopolymer set that is in the new catalog that will be available June 1st "Another Thank You". On all cards I stamped the large thank you using Early Espresso ink.  To create my water color effect I used 3 colors of Stampin' Up ink refills, a paper plate, and a watercolor paint brush. I accented each card with coordinating enamel dots.
