Ooh La La Paris Wish Box for Jadedstudios Secret Squirrel Swap

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to share a few pics of the items I made for the "infamous" Jadedstudios Secret Squirrel Cigar Box Swap.  You can find the awesome jade here: http://jadedstudios.blogspot.com/  This month's theme was Ooh la la Paris!.  I had tons of fun making this for my awesome "secret squirrel" evilscrapper, find her here: http://evilscrapper.blogspot.com/

Evilscrapper's favorite color is red so I made sure to use the luscious red pleated trim from my buddy Karla's etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/karlas001 , also had tons of fun using the blingy mesh trim, small black flower trim and black flat back pearls (must-have). 

I broke into my paper stash and decided to use the Making Memories Paper Reverie line in "Noir" - its such an awesome versatile black and creme line - love the patterns too, houndstooth, damask, ledger...totally up my alley.  I love how all my projects match, such a super fun swap, go check Jade out, she is the BESTEST!











Have a great weekend everyone, I know I will!

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....

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...

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...
