Welcome LeAnne!

I used Papertrey Ink  Don’t Forget to Write Dies to

 cut some of the paper included in the kit on the card above.

I used Concord & 9th  Perfectly Penned to add the word man.

Keeping it very CAS, three layers of the leaf.

I added some Deco Color Gold pen on the card above!

This was a very busy time for Michele, and yet, she still came up with this gorgeous kit! 

I so enjoyed creating with the fun and beautiful kit!

Cozy Up and Mistletoe

Blog

Hello! This will be my third and final post as Guest Designer for  Concord & 9th .

 I have been very honored and grateful. Thank You!

I so enjoyed using this new Cozy Up Bundle set along 

with Mistletoe Card Frame, add on die. The sentiment 

is from Happy Words 

I cut the heart twice, once with watercolor paper and once in fun foam .

The mistletoe is three layers thick and watercolored with Zig 

brush pens. Of course I had to add

some shimmer with chunky glitter! The berries are cut out of red 

velvet paper. 

The bow is cut out twice once in red and bottom layer is a dark craft paper.

The outside of my envelope!

Don’t see the little mistake of not connecting the a & r.

If you happen to like the paper trees in the background I made those with Concord & 9th 

 Take A Bough Die.

Thank you so much for the visit today!

Merry Monday #219 {Birds}

Hello! Hope you all had a nice weekend!

We took a drive up to the mountains to see the fall colors.

It was beautiful! We were blessed with a storm and lots of rain here in CA.

 I blended the background  with an old brush and a mix of spring rain inkers.

 My first two attempts were way too dark.

I always knew I was going to mix these two sets (Winter Village and Post & Parcel) 

and create a birdhouse . 

Thank You!

Serendipity Stamps

Hi there again! 

 One random commenter will  have a chance to win $20

 certificate to the Serendipity Stamps Store!

 I heat embossed this beautiful stamp in gold and only colored the pumpkin and leaves, using my Zig pens.

This was fussy cut!  I cut apart my sentiment as I didn't want to cover up the wheat. I may add “give” on the upper corner for Thanksgiving. The sentiment stamp is beautiful and I can’t wait to use it again without cutting it apart. You should have arrived from Karen Amidon blog and next is Miriam Napier blog

Make It Monday #264: Die-cut Stencil Shapes

Melissa Phillips created some beautiful cards on her MIM

video, using stencil shapes made from die cuts.

Good morning friends!

I created my stenciled background using a die left on 

my desk from this; Card Here

I used the Make It Market Kit: Post & Parcel Kit! (Sold Out)

You could buy the paper and fussy cut this out.

No stamping on this card, today! I added some Nuvo Crystal

Drops and chunky glitter on the mailbox.

I had this little post all made up from when I first got the kit, it was adhered to a tag, I took it off so

 I could add it to this stenciled background I created, on Papertrey Ink vellum . 

Again I learned another fun technique from the amazing designers at Papertrey Ink ! 

Thank you!

Second Post for Concord & 9th with Watercolors

Blog

Hello again ! I hope you all had a nice weekend!

I am sharing my second post for Concord & 9th today using :

Happy Words BUNDLE

 This set is amazing and can be used in so many

different ways! I know I maybe said that in the last post 

but worth saying again!

 The card above is a shaker using layers of the framed edge from the Happy Words Set

 glued to the base. ( I think I have 4 layers and one frame on top)

 colored with my Zig Brush Pens. This would be pretty in fall colors too! 

I just cut the inside out to create many layers of the frame.

The card above is adhered with foam tape around the frame and just a few tiny pieces of 

foam tape under the watercolored bloom.  Again I used my Zig pens

and a watercolor pen.

You can make so many phrases with this fun and beautiful 

set , it’s so well thought out, to get the most use for your money.

Happy Words BUNDLE

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by!

Guest Designing for Concord & 9th

Blog

Hello ! I am so excited to share that I am guest designing with Concord & 9th !

I was beyond excited and honored when I received an email from Angie ( the owner) of C& 9th,

asking if I would be interested in GD for this months new release! 

I said yes almost before I finished reading the email.

If you haven’t seen the new products yet you will want to hurry on over 

because they are AMAZING!   Click Here

I made this note gift set with matching embossed envelopes. These are single paged notes , 

10 notes and 10 envelopes all banded together with a vellum bellyband.

Each note is cut 4 by 5 1/4 then I rounded the edges.

You can go a bit larger is you want .

The die cut bloom is colored with my gold Deco Color Premium Marker .

 I used the two set below,  Perfectly Penned and Happy Words Bundle.

 Your  creative possibilities with both sets are endless!
