Flower Wishes!

Hey sweet friends!

Today I'm sharing a Whimsy Stamps DT card

And - a fun technique!

using Flower Wishes in a creative way!

For this card, I wanted something a little outside the box

and stamped onto a paper that I stenciled.

I sprayed a little water to give it a little watery look

and added it to a background I made with lunar paste and water.

I'm really excited with how this turned out!

for your stamping and cardmaking fun.

Lunar New Year!

 

Hi friends!

Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year!

It's the Year of the Dragon

 and such a fun time to celebrate the start of a new year,

including with papercrafts.

My card share today is sharing a festive Lunar New Year

themed card using stamps and dies from Mama Elephant.

I've added the adorable Lucky Cat and paired it with 

New Beginnings sentiments.

I added some glittery red paper as a nod to our recent Epcot

trip and the walls near the Pavilion of China :)

My son is a HUGE fan of lucky cat and brought back a white

waving lucky cat from Chinatown from his last trip to New York :)

It's funny to walk into his old room and see it waving from the window!

I'll enter this to the Lunar New Year Challenge link up for February!

Crafty Kickoff - Week 3!

Hi friends!

 It's week 3 of my Wednesday creative card group on Instagram!

Today's share is a vibrant floral birdie card 

that was so unexpected :)

 

I actually created this color combo inspiration photo 

just picking the colors at random .... and added a bird.

But!

The idea is to let that be a focal point imagery

and, as always, anything goes.

And here's my card!

I used the gorgeous Sizzix die set and paper scraps

~ the bird is from a different Sizzix set.

And created this floral wonderland!

I used all the colors in the photo,

although it was just to inspire (you could use b/w/kraft

and at least 3 of the colors above!)

Truthfully, the photo inspired me so much ~

I wouldn't have come up with this card otherwise

and shhhhh ...  i love it!

Don't tell anyone! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
