No bling? No Flowers? .. Yes Way!

Yeah people, I'm trying to show my blog some love by actually...posting, LOL!
I'm also obsessed with trying to lock down what watermark I want to use on my photos hahaha.

Alrighty, long overdue but finally here are some pictures of the World of Warcraft treasure chest I made the hubby for his birthday.  He really likes it, for reals.  It was pretty challenging to not use any of the usual suspects, ie bling, flowers, trim.  It was also fun to look at a picture and make it look like it with the supplies in my craftroom, here's what I used:
  • Wooden box from Michaels
  • Tim Holtz Grungeboard
  • Folk Art Metallic and Copper paint
  • Tim Holtz Keyhole
  • Brads from Expo
  • Eyehooks (2)
  • Binder Rings (2)


Okey peeps off to another graduation lunch!!!

Clearly Besotted: Countdown Teaser, Day 1

Hi Everyone! Rina here, guesting for one of my favorite companies, Clearly Besotted .  I sure ADORE their plushy stamps and all of their cute images, and SCENES.  I absolutely had a blast making this fun shaker card.  I know we are all dreaming of spring, but I do love making some fun winter cards. These sea babies are the cutest, I feel like I love the manatee the most (which, I thought was a walrus but I digress, LOL). This stamp set is called "Sea You Plushies" and will be available on April 1st on the Clearly Besotted online store and Simon Says Stamp. I love that there are 2 of each animal.  Of course I like using all the stamps.  Which is your favorite? Its super easy to make a fun shaker frame by taking a basic rectangle die smaller than your card base and making a frame.  I like to make sure the double sided foam tape I am using fits easily onto my frame.  I filled my shaker with some leftover white foam balls from the holidays....

Mama Elephant's #celebrating6years Anniversary Event

Happy Anniversary Mama Elephant!! This release is super SPECTACULAR and I was so happy to work with the Cool Penguins stamp set!  The set comes with the most adorable penguins getting ready to wrap some holiday gifts.  I used the Basic Rectangles die set to create a window opening as these penguin friends are going to wrap their gifts together.  I also really adore the sentiment that comes with the stamp set. I wanted to keep the coloring super simple on this card and used a few light colored Copic markers.  My favorite Copics are the ones that end in 0000 and 000 because I can achieve a light almost watercolor look.   Here are the colors I used: B00, RV02, RV23, YR00, YR000 To finish off the card I wanted to add the star banner from the  Sentiments from a Yeti  stamp set, its one of my all time favorite stamps.  The set also comes with a banner that is oh so cute.  I love stars on a background and used t...

Pretty Pink Posh - Product Release Blog Hop - Day 2

Love this jam packed release filled with adorable critters, options for mothers and fathers day cards, graduations...a fabulous A2 sized Lattice die and great NEW stencils! I used the following new products on my card today: https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/elephant-friends-stamp-set https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/mothers-day-stamp-set https://prettypinkposh.com/collections/whats-new/products/wide-stripes-stencil I wanted to create a different look using the Wide Stripes stencil by placing the stripes at the diagonal.  I created a pink themed stripe look with Distress Oxide ink in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry.  I cut down my striped panel with the Scallop Borders Dies to make room for my Happy Mother's Day sentiment from the Mothers Day Stamp Set. I hope you like my card and give these cool stencils a try.  It makes a great pattern paper look that you can customize perfectly with your...
