I made this card for my future DIL, its so perfect for her! I got the background (fence, spraypaint cans, and exposed brick from the Graffiti Release of Make it Crafty and Little Miss Muffet stamps. I bought the girl from Make it Crafty and created the happy birthday from a free graffiti font. 

I cut out the girl to pop her up along with 3 of the spray cans.

Jacaranda Fan

Good morning, its actually bright and sunny here this morning, amazing! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Totally PaperCrafts and their theme is Don't be Square use a shaped card. It took me a while, (I finished 20min before I had to post) but I finally finished a fan card. It took me forever to figure it out but I really like it. I used Doodle Pantry's new Jacaranda flower. I had to do some research because we don't have them here, that I've seen anyway. This is how it looks standing on its own.

I stamped and embossed the white with a swirls background and then cut out the fan pieces. The flowers are  coloured with prisma alcohol markers and then I highlighted them with prisma pencils/babyoil. I added stickles to give it a bit more bling.

Sitting up like this it looks more like a fan. Hop on over to Totally PaperCrafts and give their challenge a try. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can enter our challenge as well!

Love Star

Good morning. This month I'm the guest designer for Sketch Saturday and what a great sketch it is!

I used Doodle Pantry's Love Star for my card which comes in colour and black/white. I used the black/white image and printed it off twice to cut out some of the hearts and pop them up. I used three different embossing folders and wet embossed the green panel. Lots of texture.

You can see how dimensional the card really is. 

Hop on over to Sketch Saturday and see what the DT has created for inspiration, you'll love it!

Happy December 1, which brings a new release from Doodle Pantry, only 24 sleeps until Christmas, and a Congratulations on Your Engagement card. What! My youngest son proposed to his girlfriend Samantha and this is the card I made for them. Congratulations Steven and Sam! It also happens to be one of Doodle Pantry's new release stamps the Trumpet Vine.

I sprayed the background paper with  smooch glitter and cut out the trumpet vine as well as popped it up. 

Its a gorgeous stamp great for any occasion, especially an engagement, lol. I'm so excited!
