Hello Friend

 Hi everyone.  I have a card today using New Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.  You can use my code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase anytime.

I had fun with the New Marvelous Masks Grand Arch Stencils for my card today.  I used both sets A and B.  It is best to have both sets because of their sizes. They layer perfectly together when you have both sets.  On white cardstock, I started out with the 5.5 Grand Arch Stencil size using Concord and 9th Midnight ink.  Next, I used stencil 5 with Concord and 9th Butter ink. Next, it was stencil 4.5 Concord and 9th Aspen ink.  For the door, I used Stencil 2.5 with Tea Dye Distress ink and stencil 2 with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

To complete my bird house I used Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Birdhouse die set and ink blended my bird, roof, door knob, floor, leaves and flowers using the same ink colors as my ink blended grand Arches stencils.  I ink blended carefully around my Arches for some clouds using the cloud edger stencil with Midnight ink. I cut out my background using a A2 stitched rectangle die and stamped a sentiment from Let's Go Nuts Stamp by Lawn Fawn.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and added sequins and white gel accents and my black gel pen for the birds eye.  I hope you like my card today.  Don't forget to use my code VonFan10 to save.  Shop the Newest Release here

On my card, I used the Webby Mask Stencil.  I used white cardstock and ink blended the Webby Mask Stencil with Catherine Pooler Minted and Sixteen Candles ink.   After ink blending, I cut my background a little bit smaller than A2.

I then used the Happy stamp set also from A Colorful Life Designs and stamped birthday and some flowers in black ink.  The Happy letters came from Simon Says Stamp Scalloped Slimline Frame die set.  I cut them out with purple cardstock and glued them to my panel. I then added some purple sequins.  My panel was then added to a A2 card base.

Happy Birthday Card using Mad Swirls

 Hello everyone.  I have a Birthday Slimline Card today using the Mad Swirls Stencil and Glitter Stamp from A Colorful Life Designs newest release.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

On my Slimline card today, I used the New Mad Swirls Stencil on white cardstock with Catherine Pooler Oh Boy ink diagonally across my cardstock..  I also stamped the glitter dots filler image with Catherine Pooler Sixteen Candles ink from the New Glitter stamp onto my background for fun.  I like how it came out.

I cut out my background using a Scalloped Slimline die set from Simon Says stamp. I used both the scallop border and inlay rectangle from the die set. I also used the word die that I cut out with lavender cardstock to match and chose not to inlay the letters back in.  I glued my die-cuts with liquid glue to a Slimline card base and glued some sequins to match.  I hope you like my card for today.  Check out A Colorful Life Designs New Release here

Kat Scrappiness New August 2023 Release

 Hi everyone.  I'm super excited Kat Scrappiness has a New Farmhouse Collection Today and it's such a Cute Amazing Release.  I'm participating in both the Video and Ig hops today. There is New Glitter Paper pack, Farmhouse Themed Stamps, and More. There is a IG Hop and Video Hop where you have 2 chances to win $25 to the Kat Scrappiness Store.

You can also use #KSFARMHOUSE2023 to follow all of the hop participants and see their fabulous projects!! 

Here is what I made for the Hops today:

I just love this image of the cow, pig, and hen from the New Farmhouse Stamp set.  I stamped it on watercolor paper and colored it with some paint pans, a paint brush, and some water.  I also used some watercolor markers.  I then cut it out with the New Coordinating Farmhouse dies.  This makes an easy card that you can mass produce easily since it is a bigger image.  

Next, I cut out some glitter pattern paper using the New A2 Qbert die using the New Autumn Glitter paper pack.  Bothe the paper and die are Amazing. I just love how that die embosses and how the paper is mess free and so pretty.  I also cut out some green glitter pattern paper from the same pack for my grass/ground for my farm animals. using the A2 Qbert quilted die also.  I wanted some yellow for a sun for my card so I used the Farmhouse Pattern paper pack and cut out a strip. I glued everything to a A2 side folding card base.  I stamped a sentiment from the New Farmhouse Sentiments stamp with red ink on the same watercolor paper that I used from my image. I then cut it out with the coordinating die.  It's easy to cut out the backer and then stamp the sentiment.  You can use a stamping tool and place it in there and match it up.  I layered my sentiment on about 3 sentiment backers for dimension.  Finally, I glued everything together and embellished my card with some New Aww-tumn Sequins Remixed.  I love this mix and any of these embellishments would have matched perfectly.

Glitter is Always an Option

 Hello everyone.  I have another card for A Colorful Life Designs New August Release.  I used a New Stencil and a New Stamp set from the new release. Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

I chose to make a square card and a matching envelope.  I started out with white cardstock and ink blended the New Halftone Circle Stencil with Catherine Pooler's Clay Mask ink. I stamped a sentiment from the New Glitter stamp onto my background with black ink. It looked so pretty that I had to add glitter especially with the sentiment I chose.  So, I used some Creative Expressions Glitter paste and placed my stencil over my ink and applied the paste with a spatula.  I cut my background when done to be about 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 using my paper trimmer.  I glued it to a matching card base slightly bigger than my card panel.

Next, I made a envelope with kraft cardstock using a SVG file from the Silhouette Cameo Design store.  I used Catherine pooler Clay Mask ink to ink blend the flap of my envelope.  I cut out a unicorn and some harts with white cardstock from a Poppy die set called Whittle Unicorn. I colored those pieces with Copic markers and glued my unicorn together. I used a black pen for the eyes and nose and added some glitter with my glitter pen to mu unicorn's mane and tail. I then glued my unicorn and hearts to my card.  I hope you like my matching set today.  I had fun making it.  You can check out the New Release here

BYSH Cardmaking New August 2023 Card Sketch #36

 Hello everyone.  It's August which means there is a New Fun Sketch for BYSHC Sketch 36.  I know you'll love it like I do.

For my card I first cut my pattern papers accordingly to the New Sketch 36.  These pattern papers are from a Doodlebug paper pack from my stash.  I also ink blended some purple ink to white cardstock for one of my elements.  I had these cute Hello Bluebird critters colored up in my stamped images folder.  I love that these critters were ready for a card.

Next, I glued all my patter papers and critters to a A2 card base.  I had this sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio stamped and cut out in my sentiments box also ready to go.  I hope you like my card and join us this month and get a head start on some more holiday cards. Just add your photo to the album in the FB group.

A Colorful Life Designs New August 2023 Release

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited for A Colorful Life Designs New August 2023 Release.  I have a video https://youtu.be/QqIxA-qbHe4 using a New Stencil and a New Stamp set.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

On my white cardstock, I used Concord and 9th ink cubes in Sea Glass ink and Stardust ink.  I ink blended first with Sea Glass ink and then laid the new In and Out Dots Stencil over it.  I then ink blended the stencil with Stardust ink.  I love these 2 colors of ink together.  I cut my background with a rectangle die a little smaller than A2 size.  I chose to make a Infinity Shaker card.  I grabbed a A2 card sleeve and placed my panel inside.  I used a tape runner to tighten the edges and poured gold glitter inside.

Next, I sealed my sleeve with the adhesive on it and more tape runner.  I cut out some kraft cardstock that looks like a paper bag shade.  I added my glitter shaker to it and then added them to my A2 card base.  I stamped a sentiment from the New Glitter Stamp set using Stardust ink.  I cut my sentiment with my paper trimmer and glued it to my card.  Lastly, I added some gold fleck enamel embellishments from Spellbinders and I think they matched perfectly.  That finishes my card it was easy to make.  My favorite type of shaker cards.
