Studio Calico Neverland Kits!

  Hey!

 

The Studio Calico Neverland Kits have been REVEALED! And they're SOLD OUT, folks! But I thought I'd share the cards I made with these gorgeous kits- hopefully you got one before they sold out!

 

 

 

Here they are! :) 

 

I fell IN LOVE with this PRINTABLE! I knew I wanted to make it a large focal image on a card! After printing the HELLO sentiment on white cardstock, I chose some coordinating papers from the 6x6 paper pad and put together this clean and simple card! The twine in this kit is just beautiful, too!

 

 

This card was SO much fun to make! We had our own little "scraplift" challenge and I have the HONOR to lift one of Amber Kemp-Gerstel's designs! I fell in love with her "Falling Arrows" card in her Front Row gallery and decided to take some inspiration from it to make this card! Here's a LINK to her original design!

 

Oh my goodness.... these CUT FILES are AMAZING this month! I knew when I saw these circle labels that I had to make a card with one of them! I cut the LOVE circle label out with my Cameo and typed out "you" in Silhouette Studio and cut that out of one of the papers from the 6x6 paper pad.

And how AWESOME is that mist!? Gotta love a little mini huey's in your kit!

Oh how I LOVE the cityscape paper in the 6x6 paper pad that comes in the Neverland Card Kit! When I saw the cloud paper, I knew they needed to be paired together.... very simple, very modern... love the way this one turned out!

The sweet sentiment along the bottom are My Mind's Eye Tiny Word Stickers from Add-On 1: Tink!

 

I absolutely ADORE the Amy Tan Authentic Roller Stamp- and it's NOT just for Project Life! I used it on this fun card that would be great to give to a special little boy! Mine is going to my son!

 

I LOVED this image in my Project Life kit last month and I love it EVEN MORE this month because now it's a stamp and I can use it in so many different ways! One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE stamps- for real.

I started by heat embossing these beautiful falling stars onto a piece of Crate Paper DIY Shop paper (in Add-On 2: Lost Boys!). I didn't worry about shaking ALL of the excess powder off- I knew I wanted that gold dust effect on my card! I LOVE the way it came out- sort of magical and sparkly! I stamped the sentiment and moon and then popped up the moon for added dimension.

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! You can check out my full supply lists in the GALLERY! 

MSS: Dreaming of the Sea!

Hey, guys!

How's it going?

I'm here today with a card that has me dreaming of summer....

I'm LOVING the new sets released by Market Street Stamps this month!

 

All of the new sets are available NOW- run over and check them out!

New Releases

 

 

Here's my card:

 

 

Ok- let's start with the background set- Nautical Stripe. It is beyond PERFECT, people. I love it to pieces... I stamped the background on Rustic Cream cardstock with Navy A Muse Studio ink. Then, while it was still a little wet, I sprinkled some Gold Filigree Detail Embossing Powder over it. I shook off any excess and heated it. What I got was a very delicate gold accent on my background! I really like how it came out!

 

I knew when I saw that mermaid in the Dreaming of the Sea set that I wanted to emboss her tail and make her all sparkly! I heat embossed the tail on a separate sheet of cardstock and cut it out. Then, I stamped the mermaid on Rustic Cream cardstock, colored her body and hair with Copics, and paper pieced her tail into place!

 

I love how soft and pliable these stamps are! I curved the sentiment "dreaming of the Sea" to match the curve of the mermaid tail!

 

Have you seen the new Market Street Stamps blog?! You should definitely run over and check it out- it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

 

See ya soon!

I have had so much fun playing with the stamp set that you get with the new You've Got Mail class that starts March 1st at Studio Calico!
 

 

 

This stamp set will ship free to you when you sign up for the class- and it's SUCH a fun set! Perfect for SO many occasions and super versatile.
 

Today I have a fun HELLO card to share with you!
 

 

 

I am digging the gold trend lately! I embossed the arrow stamp with Gold Filigree Detail Embossing Powder! That arrow stamp is just too fun- I wanted to make it a focal point on my card!

 

I also embossed the sentiment "HELLO" on a piece of vellum. The sentiment actually says "HELLOS" in the set, but I only wanted "HELLO" so I just snipped the "S" off with my scissors. I saved it on my sheet, of course, so I can use the sentiment both ways!

 

Run on over to sign up for the CLASS! This stamp set is still available and you only have a few more days to sign up! You don't want to miss it! I know Lisa Spangler and all of the amazing contributors will bring us LOTS of inspiration!

I have had so much fun playing with the stamp set that you get with the new You've Got Mail class that starts March 1st at Studio Calico!

 

 

 

This stamp set will ship free to you when you sign up for the class- and it's SUCH a fun set! Perfect for SO many occasions and super versatile.

 

Today I have a clean, elegant style birthday card to share with you!

 

 

I stamped the banner images in a taupe color, a slate gray, and a metallic silver ink cris-crossing across the front of the card. The silver really sparkles in real life- really pretty! These banner stamps are super easy to link together to make longer banners to stretch across the card front or even on a layout!

 

I chose two of the sentiments and the little heart strip and added them to the side of the card. The sentiments in this set are interchangeable and so much fun- they look really great stacked together!

 

Run on over to sign up for the CLASS! This stamp set is still available- you definitely want it! This class will be choke full of inspiration and tips for all crafters! Can't wait to see what Lisa Spangler and all of the amazing contributors have in store for us!

Avocado Arts: Friends Forever

 

Good morning! 
 

I am SO excited to be Guest Designing for Avocado Arts this month!

 

I have another card to share with you that I created with this new set: Special Delivery!

It is FULL of super cute images and absolutely beautiful sentiments- you don't want to miss it!

 

 

Here's what I created with this cute set:

 

 

My goodness... these super sweet images are SO fun to color! I colored these cute birdies with my Copic markers, cut them out, and adhered them to the white cardstock so their little wings flutter off the sides! I think they definitely look like good friends, don't you?!

 

Here's a close up of the larger bird- SO stinkin' cute...

 

 

Thank you SO much to AVOCADO ARTS for inviting me to be a Guest Designer this month! I've had so much fun! You guys are so sweet!

 

Avocado Arts: Special Delivery!

  Good morning!

 

I am SO excited to be Guest Designing for Avocado Arts this month!

 

 

I had a ton of fun playing with this new set: Special Delivery!

It is FULL of super cute images and absolutely beautiful sentiments- you don't want to miss it!

 

 

Here's what I created with this cute set:

 

I knew when I saw that postage stamp that I wanted to stamp that across the front of a card! I stamped the image repeatedly and then colored in a fun ombre design with my Copics! I simply started coloring with a light blue at the top and gradually added darker colors as I went down. Then I went through and blended the colors together for a more smooth transition between colors.

 

I am seriously IN LOVE with that little birdie, by the way! I masked around the edges of the postage stamp with post-its before stamping the bird on the inside and then I colored him in with Copics.

 

Here's a close up of the little birdie- SO cute!

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I'll have another project featuring the Special Delivery stamp set from Avocado Arts on February 8th!
