I have been loving a dot background lately in all different forms, polka dots have always made me happy! I started by ink-blending my background and my flowers using Distress Inks.  I addd some FineTec gold paints on my flowers and set them aside to dry.


I die cut my Waffle Flower hello die and then added my elements to the panel using a mix of glue and foam tape.  To finish off, some gold gem and white gel pen detail.

Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Blog Hop Day 2!

Happy Saturday crafty friends! Welcome to day two of the Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Blog Hop! So excited for this release, there are some amazing products!


Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from blog comment sections. They will choose  winners and post on our Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 26th of March!


I paired my sweet Bounding Bunnies wafer dies with the Eggstra Special clear stamps from the last Simon Says Stamp release.  I stamped my images and used my COPIC markers on the eggs and flowers.  I then inked my sentiment with a rainbow of Pawsitively Saturated Inks.

I die cut my bunnies and added COPIC markers for shading and the pink ears and cheeks. I added the bunnies using foam tape.


I trimmed my panel and added it to my card base with funfoam to finish off, some of my favorite Pink Fresh Studio drops in iridescent and various matching colours!

Simon Says: Fun With Stencils!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Fun with Stencils and we are featuring always beautiful Pinkfresh Studio products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  


I ordered this amazing set by Pink Fresh for the holidays but the Canada Post strike made it that it was delivered in late January. I could not resist inking this one up! I love pink for a holiday card so I went with that for my berries and background :)

I started by stamping and embossing my image, I used the accompanying stencils for this amazing tree by Pink Fresh. I ink blended using Distress Inks and die cut the image. I ink blended my large polka dots stencil on the background panel and then added my tree using foam tape.  


I white embossed my sentiment and used the accompanying die then added it with foam tape. To finish off, some Blush clear drops by Pink Fresh for my embellishments! Bonus, I am ahead on my Christmas cards!

Simon Says: A Bit O' Green!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: A Bit O' Green and we are featuring always super fun Mama Elephant products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store! 


I LOVE St-Patricks's Day! It's my favourite day of the year! I am half Irish so we celebrate annually and it is my end of winter marker! Best day of the year! I love making an annual Irish inspired card to underline the day.  I used the super sweet Mama Elephant Little Elephant Agenda set for this one. What is luckier than offering an elephant!

I started by stamping and colouring my elephants and die cut them. I get them aside to ink blend my cloud background using Distress Inks.  I die cut my Pretty Pink Posh Shamrocks and Lucky dies.


I added my Shamrocks first using a mix of glue and foam tape then my sentiment and then placed my elephants! To finish off, some white gel pen detail and my favourite Iridescent gems!

Simon Says: It's A Stitch Up!

Hello crafty friends and it's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: It's A Stitch Up and we are featuring Tim Holtz products - it isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them! Come join the fun for the chance to win a $25.00 gift card to the Simon Says Stamp Store! 


This card was so fun to make, it really has a spring vibe and that makes me happy. I ink blended my Tim Holtz stencil and then for my "Stitch Up", I used an older MFT stitched border die. I set the panel aside to work on my florals from the Tim Holtz Funky Floral Wreath die set.

I die cut my Hello from black card stock and Sugar Crystal glitter paper and glued it to the panel to act as the anchor from my flowers.


I glued my florals using a mix of foam tape and glue to the top of the Hello die and added some bling. To finish off, I added the panel to my card base using foam tape!
