Live, laugh and love

I recently got some stamps from Technique Tuesday that I just love!  For years now my favorite saying has been Live, Laugh, Love.  The perfect words for how I like to live my life.  So for today's card I have used my new stamps as well as the rose image for Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit and some watercolor Crayons.  Here is my card.

 

 

I used my crayons and some water to paint the background dark to light and then I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.  I also embossed the rose and leaves on vellum and then painted them in with the watercolor crayons, fussy cut them and adhered them to my card.  The card is really stunning in person, the photo really doesn't do it justice.  I am linking this card up to two challenges, The Wonder of Watercolor in the Moxie Fab World and the Simon Says Stamp Challenge.

 

Have a great day!

Make it Monday: Perfect Pearls

Good Afternoon!  I had so much fun this morning getting out some perfect pearls to participate in this challenge.  I have had perfect pearls in my craft room for a while now and have really never used them!  I did not realize that they would so great on dark cardstock!  Here is my card.

 

It is a little gloomy here today so my picture is a little dark but the chicken wire is a background mask I used with colorshine.  The star I die cut from some printed paper that I made myself with the gradient feature of my silhouette and the skateboard is the done with perfect pearls!  I used three colors a green, turquoise and blue.  So what do you think?  I really love it and now I have a card on hand that is perfect for one of my sons friends:)

Avery Elle April Challenge

Hi!  It has been a while since I posted here.  I have a card to share with you today that  I made for this challenge.

 

 

I only have a couple Avery Elle stamp sets so I had to get creative with what I had and it was either hanging anchors or heart so I went for the hearts!  I stamped them each a different color and then used a ruler and shimmer gel pen to draw the string they are hanging from.  The sentiment I just adore:)  Thanks for stopping!!

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

Hello!  I am popping in to post a card that I have made for the PS Sparks challenge this week.

 

 

I just love this card.  I was playing around with my Silhouette software and the fill feature today and learned that I can fill my shapes with  gradient color!!  I have a whole new reason to love my Silhouette:)  For this card I used three different PS stamp sets, Sentiment Sampler, Whirligigs, and Folkal points.  I heat embossed the image from Whirligigs with gold embossing powder.  I am really loving this color combo.  So I am dying to know what you think, please comment and let me know:)

A Birthday Card

Hello and Happy Friday!!  Today I am sharing a card that I made for a friend of my youngest son who is turning 9.  They both love video games:)

 

 



I really need to get a camera, I have been using the camera on my phone for all my pics lately and I don't get a lot of detail so I apologize for a not so great photo.  I am linking this card to Simon Says Stamp Challenge and PTI Make it Monday.

PSA Essentials Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the PSA Essentials Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here for the PSA Stamp Camp Blog.    I have a really fun project to share with you today.

I gathered all my supplies to make some fun carrot sour cream containers for Easter this year.  You will need some Orange pattern paper, green cardstock, scissors, adhesive, circle and scallop punches or dies, a paper crimper for texture, candy and your Peel and stick stamps!  I used the Topiary Peel and stick pack.

Cut your pattern paper to a 4 1/2 x 51/2 rectangle and then apply adhesive to the back side as shown.  You then want to roll your paper to make a tube and adhere the 4 1/2" side with adhesive to the side without adhesive.  You will then want to close one end of the tube by pinching both sides together.  Now is when you want to fill your container with candy.  After you have added your candy you will want to seal the other end of your tube but you will want to pinch it closed in the opposite direction.  After you have both sides closed you can use the paper crimper on both ends.  I trimmed the top edges of mine to make it look more like a carrot but you don't have to do that step if you don't want.  Next you will want to get out your peel and stick stamps and stamp out Happy Easter or whatever image you want to use for your containers and then punch them out with your circle punch or die.  I backed my circle with a brown pinked circle.  I then cut some green cardstock to make the top of the carrot and adhered it to the container behind my stamped circle.  These are pretty easy to make and can be altered to fit any occasion you need.

Now your next stop on the Hop is Shelly.  After you have hopped through all the blogs make sure you go enter the giveaway on the PSA Stamp Camp Blog, it is a great one! One winner will win the grand prize giveaway of 1 custom stamp, 3 Peel & Stick stamp sets, 2 note cards, 1 alignment tool, 1 black ink, 1 2-color ink, and free shipping to the winner.   Value of the package is $150!  How awesome is that! 

Thanks for stopping by today.
