Birthday Flyby | Magical Dragons

Here is a super cute card I wanted to share with you that I made for a dear friend for her birthday. This set is the Magical Dragons by Birdie Brown. It was all the craze this summer and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It sold out like crazy on all the online stores but I finally got mine.


I created the background clouds with Tim Holtz distress inks, and colored the dragons in with copic markers. Sponged the clouds with distress inks to help them stand out. The dragons wings have spectrum clear sparkle marker on them. I then pop dotted the dragons and the clouds up for some dimension. Added PPP clear mix sequins randomly over the card for more twinkling effect.

Altenew Peony Bouquet | Color Throwdown #401 | Zig Clean Color Real Brushes


Hi Everyone! Earlier this week I had given you a sneak peak on Tuesday on the start of this card(if I have you on FB). This was my very first time using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, wow I just love them. Taa-daa---  My card is so bright and vibrant the picture does not do it justice.

I used Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp and stamped the image onto Bristol smooth paper with VersaMark clear ink, and heat set it with white embossing powder. Die-namics Blueprint 13 frame die was used to cut the image out and glued onto fun foam for dimension and then glued onto a burgundy card stock base and glued once again onto a 110lb white card stock base.

Birthday Delight


Hello Everyone,  Popping by this week to show you my take on this weeks #colorthrowdown (ctd398). I loved the bright colors Lynn choose for this challenge, as did so many other paper crafters as well. I used the Freshly made sketches as my sketch this week!! (fms242)

I am in love with my new stamps from Altenew, the layering and varieties I am able to come up with are endless from this set. I cut my red panel from DCWV citrus mat stack using mft Blueprint 13 frame. The circle is die cut from SSS stitched circles and Echo Park- Summer bliss paper. I die cut the word happy twice, once with paper and once with fun foam. Colored the paper with twisted citron distressed ink. I hope you enjoy this weeks card.

No Stinkin Way


Hello Everyone! A super cute card for you today, I've been learning a lot of new techniques.

Starting with ink blending using Tim Holtz distressed inks and the foam blending tool. This is how I created the background for the card, I then stamped the skunk and masked him so that he is standing on the tree stump (this is an 80's technique that I'm so glade is popular again). I colored the skunk, mushroom, trunk, grass and the flower all with copic markers.

Stamped my sentiment on a piece of black cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed in white embossing power and fishtailed the edge. I also cut a 1/4" strip of striped designer paper for the card front and it just made the card jump from the paper. Foam taped it onto a red cardstock base and finished it off with mixed clear sequins. I hope you enjoy viewing this card as much as I loved creating it!

Your Furr...avorite Child


Happy weekend everyone,
Well I wanted to get a jumpstart on a Father's Day card for my boyfriends Dad as it needs to be sent a few provinces away. I made it with this weeks Color Throwdown #ctd395 green, kraft and cream.


I used this weeks sketch by Freshly Made Sketches,

I coloured the digi sketch and cats with copics. Of course all the cats are Dad's cats so I could not have included them. Put some glossy accents onto his glasses, the kind I have crackles when it dries. And what cat bed wouldn't be complete without some wink of stella clear. They all got pop dotted with foam demintionals at different heights,I hope you enjoy viewing my card :)
