Altenew Chocolate Flowers Card

Am using the Altenew Chocolate Flowers set which used the Zero Waste die set and used Erum Glitterswirls card for inspiration, here. The inks were for pinks: the Cherry Blossoms & 2 pinks from Northern Lights. For the Yellows: Pocket full of Sunshine, and the greens: Tropical Forest. Had a ton of fun playing with this. The card base is the moss ink taken across the white card base. Thank you for coming to my blog and enjoy my post!

Picket Fence Studios Mermaid Dear Card

 Playing with Picket Fence Studios' Mermaid Dear stamp. I stamped with my MISTI and colored with Copics after fussy cutting the fish away. I wanted it to be about her in the sea. The die of the circle is from my stash, and the word die as well. The background was ink blended with 3 Distress Oxides, Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, and Pistachio. Love the water drops to add to the affect. I made this for a special person and they truly loved it! Enjoy!

Lavina Fairy Tag

 After attending a fabulous class at Scraporium with Betty's Creative Studio (another store's make and take) that allowed me to "play" with all of the fabulous Lavina stamps like this one called, Mae Fairy. The ink blending was done previous to stamping, and then many smaller stamps layered in. The white Posca pen was used to add light to her wings! The end touch was a spray of gold to add iridescence.

Echo Park Fourth of July Layout

SCRAP WITH STACY'S July 2025 TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE:

Rochelle Spears' July 2025 Sketch Challenge!

I used Echo Park Celebrate America Collection with all of its Red, White and Blue colors and fun fireworks graphics matched with gingham and stars pattern papers. For Technique, I used 2 stencils for the fireworks on the Bazzill Bling Diamond cardstock, with Christmas Red, Silver and Tim Holtz Distress stormy sky stickles. The bling and shine is iridescent and I love the look. The American Crafts Sparkle red cardstock was fussy cut around the "Fourth of July" sticker to bring more shine, as well. The tags have ribbon attached with the Tim Holtz tiny attacher stapler so 3 tags, and 3 staples. Journaling written on the tags: "We enjoyed the holiday with Bratwurst, broccoli salad, roasted brussel sprouts with bacon and watermelon. Fireworks were on our lake and enjoyed by the whole family. It was a wonderful relaxing family day, together!"

I used the Center Vertical column for Stacy's Tic Tac Toe: Metal (Staples where I attached the ribbon on each tag), Tags, Word Sticker (Title)

Please Enjoy!

Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary card

 Using the front page of the Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary collection I cut it down and added some other fussy cut another sheet with the clocks. The picture totally reminds me of the spirit of the woman this is for. I really hope it reminds her she is loved. The 100 is cut from Spellbinder's Filigree numbers by Becca Feeken cut from Bazzill Lakeshore cardstock. The Prima Flowers were added and then a few other details like the white filigree butterfly in my stash and the turquoise bling on the front and inside.

Graphic 45 Secret Garden on our back porch

 

Using this above sketch offered this "recipe" which is the March Double Layout challenge on A Cherry On Top. Just a note, it was not good for papers like mine that had writing or a certain direction. I made it work nonetheless. I hope you, too, will try it!! I actually made the photos AFTER making the layout because of the title.
