Sabrina Birthday Card

Hi everyone! 

It's been quite awhile since I posted something because I've had a lot of other things going on around here.  Our family took a vacation to Beaches Resort in Turks & Cacaos in June...fun, fun, fun!!!  Then in July we hosted a "Hashigami Family Reunion", which is my mother in-law's family.  We had a house full of guests and a 50 person weekend party!  It was a great time but I haven't had much time for crafting! 

Everyone's gone now and so I can finally get back to my Craft Room/Studio.  I won't be making many cards for now because I am learning some new arts using canvas, papers, gels, paints, sprays, stencils, gelatos and lots of metal trinkets.  As I finish my projects I will post them here! 

I did finish the card I'm going to show you today, back in May, and recently sent it off to my best friend for her birthday!  I used a Saturated Canary Digital called Sabrina and Digital papers from Nit Wit called Hello Sunshine.  I love how it turned out it's so pink and pretty...

Mother's Day - The Seasons Spring Time II

Hi Friends...I finished my mom's Mother's Day card today and before I send it off to her I wanted to share some pictures of it.  I really like the colors I used and love the new digital I got this week from Saturated Canary. I know my mom will love it and that's what really matters...

I actually picked the Summer Stories 6x6 paper pack first.  Then I saw the Saturated Canary Challenge and its colors kind of fit into the color pallet they have posted so I'm going to enter this card into their new Challenge #42 which you can find HERE.  The pink might not be quite bright enough but the other colors fit beautifully!

Also to all you mothers out there "Happy Mother's Day"!  Enjoy your day, I'm sure you deserve it!

Here is my finished card...Enjoy...

True Friend with Violet Vintage

Happy Monday Friends...today I'm going to share a card that I made using one of my new Saturated Canary Digitals "Violet Vintage".  I just Love her glasses and that cute fringed purse she is carrying.

It's the first time I made a step card and it was quite challenging because I didn't have a pattern to follow.  I saw a picture of one on a blog but couldn't find a pattern so I had to make my own.  After two failed attempts, those fold measurements were very tricky, I came up with this final version.

I also had lots of fun playing with a new embossing powder by Stampendous called Fran-tage Shabby Pink and Aged Ivory.  I was Fran-tageing everything I could find...haha!   I really love how my circle paper clip, mini clothespin and wooden mini butterflies, turned out...sooooo cute!!!  A couple of days ago I received a bunch of new rubber stamps from Whimsy Stamps so I included three of them in my card layout too...

So here it is...hope you like it!

There are actually three scallops along the bottom!

Milk Carton - Saturated Canary Challenge #41

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing a Milk Carton Project that I am going to enter in the current Saturated Canary Challenge #41, which you can find HERE.

I found this template for the Milk Carton at Ruthann Zaroff's web site, which you can find HERE.  The template can be made into any size you want...mine is made using a 12" x 12" sheet of White Bazzill Cardstock.  The beginning size I cut out is 8" x 11 1/2".  With the 11 1/2" side at the top of the Score Board, I scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4" & 11".  Then turning the paper so that the scored 1/2" tab is at the bottom, I scored at 2", 6" & 7 1/2".  When you see the template this should all make sense to you.  You will also see that there are a couple more places to score and fold to actually make the finished project look like a Milk Carton!

I started this project months ago...  I really became motivated to finish it when I saw that the new Saturated Canary Challenge was "Anything Goes" which is perfect for my Milk Carton Project.  I had already finished one side using the Saturated Canary Digital "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" before setting it aside.  This week I worked to finish up the other three sides using a different Saturated Canary Digital for each one.

I'm going to use this Milk Carton as a gift card holder.  All I need to do is untie the bow on top, open the carton, place some confetti and a gift card inside, and then retie the bow and the gift will be ready for me to give.  I really love how it turned out, hope you do too!

Enjoy!

Fairy Wishes Birthday

Happy Wednesday!  I have a card to share today that uses the rubber stamp, Fairy Wishes by Saturated Canary.  I don't usually buy her rubber stamps because she has fabulous digital's and they are so much easier to store, but I really liked this one so I bought it.  The layout was copied from one I saw on a web site at jenines-cardideas.blogspot.com.  I really loved the pocket with the tags...my layout has a few differences but the basic design came from Jenine.  She is such a wonderful card maker so pop on over to her web site and check out her designs.

Easter Dress Love

Good Morning and Happy March 1!  Wow can you believe it's March already...Easter is just around the corner.

So  today I have my first Easter Card to share with you.  I received a free Easter digital from Saturated Canary last week when I purchased two other digitals.  It was a special offer from the Saturated Canary Blog, you should follow her (Krista Smith the artist) HERE as she is always having great giveaways and she is soooooo talented and has a fun blog to read!  The digital is called Easter Dress Love and you can now purchase her from the Saturated Canary Shop which you can find from the link on my side bar below.  I found some great Graphic 45 spring type papers, and some Easter Egg Shaped Dies at my favorite Scrapbooking store too, so I used them for this card.

Enjoy and see you again soon...

Roses are Red Birthday Card

Good Morning!  Today I am going to show you the birthday card I made for my youngest daughter whose birthday was February 2.  She loves Saturated Canary Digital's so I used the new "Roses are Red Violets are Blue" for her card.

I saw a card made by Bev Rochester awhile back.  She is one of my favorite card makers; you can find her blog HERE.  I loved the layout of this card so I actually used her layout design and added my own touches to make it mine.  Her actual card can be found HERE.  Her blog is amazing, she is so very talented, please stop by and check her out...you won't be disappointed.

Here is my card...Enjoy...

Valentine's Day Book Cards

Good Morning!  Happy Monday!

Today I have four Valentine's Day Book Cards to show you.  I made them for my three daughters and my granddaughter. They are each similar in that the cards themselves are made the same but the images and papers are different for each one.  After each picture I will list the papers used, the image name and the copic markers I used to color them, and in the recipe area I will list all of the other items used for all four of the cards. Really the only real differences between them were the images, copic colors, charms, hearts by the letter in the frame and the papers used.  Hopefully it's not too confusing for you...

The bows I used were made using a technique I learned from a double bow tutorial which you can find HERE.  They were so easy and I think they look amazing...thanks so much to Jak Heath who made this tutorial on YouTube.

I also added a Valentine Starbucks card into the inside pocket of each card...

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!  Enjoy...

Nikki - Season's Greetings

Hello friends...hope you had a great Tuesday! 

I'm so happy to be back at my crafting desk coloring the day away!!!  It's sooooo fun and relaxing for me...

During the last couple of months I acquired quite a few Saturated Canary Digitals that I have not colored yet so after organizing, labeling and filing them I finally sat down and pulled out my Copics and started coloring.  Today I finished a card using a digital called Nikki.  I really love her cute little skirt, her scarf, gloves and that great big bow in her hair!  She is the cutest Ice Skater ever!!! 

Yea, I know... it's another Christmas card, but I made it in blues instead of reds and greens!  I need about 30 cards for next Christmas so I have to keep making them throughout the year.  I will be making other cards too so, stay tuned...

Enjoy...
