Cutest little chickie ever!

Hi everyone!

I have such a cute card to share with you today and another one of my Seed Packet Templates (see below) for you to download.  I really had fun making this card and decided to make this little chickie waving a get well flag.

The little chick is from the 2016 Sale-a-bration catalogue and it's free with a $60 (Cdn) order.  The stamp set is called Honeycomb Happiness and it's just adorable...love, love, love it!

I stamped the baby chick with Black Stazon on watercolour paper, then I painted him with Crushed Curry using my aqua painter.  I totally painted outside the lines (because I love to and I can!) and then  carefully cut him out. I did feel bad cutting off his feet but I gave him a little nest of slivered Crumb Cake that I made by cutting fine strips, then scrumpled them up, creating the perfect little nest.

I cut the pieces for the sentiment and outlined them with my black marker using the wide tip on it's side and the banner was cut using the little banner punch.  I added the black dots with the fine tip of the same black marker. The flag pole is a narrow strip of the yellow cardstock outlined in black as well.

The sentiment is from the Greatest Greetings stamp set and I altered my stamp a bit, I can't think of when I would say 'get well sooner' so I carefully cut off the last two letters so my stamp now says 'get well soon' which works better for me!  I love the font in this greeting set...it just looks so cheerful!

Isn't this such a cute little baby chick!  Here's a close up of him, I coloured his beak with Tangerine Tango marker and added a little black to his eyes.  I just can't get enough of this little guy!
   

  I hope you like today's card!

The Sky is the Limit!

Hi everyone!

I have another quick card to share with you today.  I inked up the World Traveler embossing folder with Island Indigo ink, placed my card layer inside and ran it through my Big Shot.

Then I used a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake ink to rub on the continents and with a little of Island Indigo residue, the colour turned a pretty shade of green.  I love it when surprises happen! Next, I stamped the plane in Black Memento Ink and fussy cut it out.

I added some silver cording to the back of the plane on each side and then to the center of the sentiment so that it looks like the plane is flying a Happy Birthday banner.

Below is a close up of the propeller I made.  I covered a scrap of cardstock with tin foil (using double sided sticky tape) and cut out a circle using the smallest circle die. Then I cut into it so that it looks like a propeller...lol...well it sort of looks like a propeller! I attached the propeller to the plane with a small brad.  

To finish, I distressed the art piece layer on all sides, layered it on a black panel, then to the Island Indigo card base.

This card was fun, easy and I got lots of ink on my fingers too! What could be better!

I hope you're having a great day, thanks so much for stopping by to visit me!

Vintage Hello

Hi peeps!

Here's a card I made with the free Sale-a-bration stamp set 'Hello'.  As soon as I saw this set I knew I had to pair it with Timeless Textures.  I love how this card turned out, it's done with Gold embossing, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake...one of my favourite colour combinations.

I stamped the Hello and Birthday sentiment with VersaMark, then gold embossed it.  Next I added the Texture stamp along the bottom and side edges, (using VersaMark again) and gold embossed that as well.  I randomly stamped the rest of the images in Crumb Cake until I was happy with the effect.

Here's a close up of the little flower I added to the twine.  I love this little flower! I used the small flower die from Botanical Builder Framelits, sponged the flower with Crumb cake and added the Soft Suede center with a gold rhinestone to finish it.  I shaped the flower using a foam pad and a stylus.

I hope you like my card today...this card just makes me happy!  Thanks so much for stopping by to share your time with me!

Guess what made me smile today?

Hi guys!  I just had to share what made me smile today!

Today was such a busy day, but Gary and I took some time out to go for a walk this morning in one of my favourite spots, Rocky Point Park...just minutes from where we live.  It made my soul happy to walk in the park by the ocean with my favourite guy!

Here's what my happy looks like!

The rocky and mossy shoreline...I love this place!

Canada Geese gliding along...(not that the geese are a fave but the pretty picture of them having a lazy swim was lovely!

Look at the moss on this wonderful old tree....seriously one of my favourite things!

A peek a boo view....

And then we found these first buds of spring!

And last but not least, a beautiful pale pink January Camellia in full bloom....amazing!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a few things today to make you smile!

Pink Bloomin' Hearts

Hi everyone!

Here's one of my new cards to share with you.   I love Pink Pirouette, it's such a soft pretty colour and it's definitely one of my favourite things. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  Sometimes the image in my head doesn't turn out when I start to play but this card did!

Here is a close up of the detail, the new Bloomin' Heart Thinlits die is so pretty and intricate.

I punched flowers to place on the cut out heart, the large ones from the Petite Petals punch and for the small ones I used the flower punch from Itty Bitty Accents.  I crumpled them and separated the cardstock, adhered them to the cut out heart and added a pearl.  Then to finish I couldn't resist adding a touch of clear Wink of Stella.

I also embossed the background panel with the Lovely Lace embossing folder and added ribbon to the side.  Then to finish I added another layered flower.  I popped the Blooming' Heart die up with dimensionals.

Here's a close up of my card, isn't it pretty...hmmm... love it!

Well that's my quick share for today...woohoo....2 posts this year!  Yay me!!  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!
