PLUS…..over on Joy’s Life.com, 

we are all putting our CRI-KITS to good use this week.  

I am using pens from the Reg. Neon set.

I am also using a design from my Art Philosophy cartridge with my pens.

 

 

I am using the stamp set called Pun in the Sun from Joy’s Life.

 

The little boat is from the Cricut Cartridge Life is a Beach.

 

This is the inside of the card.  I have also used dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and My Favorite Things.

Here is a close up of the area where the CRI-KITS pen was used.  It really does make a gorgeous background for this card.

My last Gel A Tins post

This is a bittersweet post.  My term is up this month with Gel A Tins stamps and I completely missed the Team Call for the next term

I have had a ton of fun creating with these adorable stamps.

I have to say my favorite thing about Gel A Tins is the fact they come in this wonderful Tin.

Storage is pretty easy when your stamps come in their own storage system.

Today I am using the set called  Sugar & Spice.

I am also using the Mojo Monday Sketch # 238.

Here is my card for today:)

I looked at the sketch and knew that I wanted to try using my Mini Polaroid die for this card.

It a very simple color scheme and I think it is a fun variation of the Mojo Monday sketch.

Just using white embossing powder, I was able to keep the black and white theme for the card.

But there is never a problem with a splash of pink, right?

So there you have it:  My last card for the wonderful and generous people over at Gel A Tins stamps.

I have had a lot of fun here and hope that you have enjoyed the things I have shared.

A “Dreamy” Card

Hello and happy Wednesday to everyone!!  Today I have a card of all cards to share today!

I am using this awesome sketch that Mojo Monday has up.  Sketch # 238.

 

I am using the set called Dream a Little Dream.

I don’t know if you can really see all the detail in this card but…

I have just started learning some new techniques in one of Christy Tomlinson’s online classes.

Although I do not have a lot (if any) of the supplies she uses, I improvised on this card.

Also, I made the card out of a piece of transparency paper, so it is really a unique card!

So there you have it…my attempt to WOW you all today!!  How did I do?

I had such a fun time making this card and I hope you enjoyed my post today.

Gel A Tins Stamps – Elefuntastic Card

Hello everyone..

I am here with a cute card today.  I am using Mojo Monday’s Sketch #236

Here is the sketch.

I turned the sketch and used it like this:

I am using the set called:

ELEPHANT GARDEN

Here is my version of the sketch from above.

It think this is such a sweet set. There are so many possibilities since there are so many stamps.

I took one of the largest elephants and embossed it with a glitter embossing powder.  It created a nice effect for the background.

I am using all MOMENTA paper products.

All of these wild prints are from a paper pack called:

ANIMAL PRINT

I also used some ABC stickers from a Momenta 12 x 12 Super Paper Pad.  If you don’t have a phrase that matches your stamps, make one up!  That’s what I always do!

I hope you have enjoyed my sketch tweak today!  Do you use sketches?  I am new to using them but I am hooked!

What sketch sites you do like?

I would love to hear what you have to say.

Springtime Card

I had a ton of fun making this sweet card.

I am using Mojo Monday’s sketch #234.

As usual, I have used a ton of dies and Authenticate Paper’s Delightful Collection.

I started by using the largest egg in the NESTING EGGS and decorated it with the following dies:

Lace Edger, Dancing Doily Lace Border and Bunny and Chick.

I then used the Spring Basket 1 and Darling Daisies to create the focal point of the card.

I had found the phrase I wanted to use first, so that is how I decided what to put IN the basket.

The bunny is the perfect touch for this Springtime card.

I love the colors and the dies were such fun to work with on this project.

I hope you have enjoyed my post.  Have a great weekend, this has been Jeannie with The Polka Cabana with today’s post.

Here is the sketch.

I am using the stamp called:

HAPPY ARE THOSE

This is from the itty bitty, {ippity} stamps.

I love the papers, how bout you?

The paper is My Minds Eye Follow Your Heart.

I wanted to use blue to accentuate the cloud on the stamp.

It is such a joy to work with {ippity} stamps.

Wednesday Wowzers posts are never a chore, I simply love working with these stamps.

Here is the sketch.

I turned the sketch and used it like this:

I am using the set called:

SUGAR & SPICE

Here is my version of the sketch from above.

It think this is such a sweet set. There are so many possibilities since there are so many stamps.

I have no idea who I will give this card to, but I could use it for many different occasions, don’t you agree?

I hope you have enjoyed my sketch tweak today!  Do you use sketches?  I am new to using them but I am hooked!

I Heart {ippity} New Stamps!!!

I have a beauty for you today.  Plus I have an idea for you try out while we are at it!

I am using MOJO MONDAY’S SKETCH #232

I am also super excited to say that I was one of the winners for Mojo Monday’s Sketch #231!

 It was my first time even entering one of their sketch challenges and you can imgaine my surprise when I saw I was one of the winners! I am sooo excited!!

I am using a brand new set called:

Be Brave…Branch Out

Here is my version of the sketch.

Now the new thing I tried on this card, was to take that pin and after I had machine gathered my twill tape, I ran the pin through the center of the tape,

Next time, I will slip the machine gathering and just gather it on the pin and save some time!

If you like my color and paper palette, I have Authentique Paper to thanks for that.  I have used paper from different lines but I love how I can mix and match and still have it all blend perfectly.

I will be entering this in Mojo Monday’s Challenge # 232.

I hope you enjoyed my idea, this would also work on certain ribbons, so I would love to hear if you try this out!  Let me know.

Fun with Cheery Lynn Designs New Easter Dies

We are getting ready to have our new release party soon, but thought you might like to see what is in store for you.

I am using a TON of dies today.

I am also using a sketch from Mojo Monday.

You can go and check out the EASTER NEW RELEASE dies HERE.

I have used the following NEW EASTER DIES:

LACE EGG FIVE

SPRING BASKET 1

NESTING EGGS

 Even though these are EASTER dies, look what you can make…a hot air balloon!

 I used the FRENCH PASTRY DOILY & ANGEL WING to go along with our current challenge which is DOILIES.  You can read about the challenge here.

Other dies I used are:

LACE CORNER DECO F – for the leaves on my flowers on the basket.

DANCING DOILY LACE BORDER – the white paper lace.

DOTTIES RIC RAC – the lighter brown ric rac piece.

FLOWER CHAIN BORDER – flowers on the basket and on the yellow border chain with flowers.

BLACK EYED SUSANS – the embossing plate for the brown background paper.

I am pretty sure that is all the dies used.  I have used ECHO PARK’S paper called THIS & THAT, such a gorgeous line!

By now you should know that I love thinking of unusual things to do with shapes meant for other things.  The reason I do this?  I love to show you just how much you can do with dies and supplies if you just think…outside the “Easter basket!”

I hope you have enjoyed my post today..I had a ton of fun making this!

Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by.
