Double Banner Garland Filled Birthday

The brand new Reverse Confetti Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts dies are so much fun!!  I combined the garlands with some of the new paper from Reverse Confetti... a rainbow colored Spring Fling Quick Card Panel...you know me and rainbows, to make a birthday card...

I layered the white borders twice, and cut the colored banners so that the stripes would be vertical and added a sentiment from one of my very favorite sets of sentiment stamps, a set called Lots to Say (my go-to set...love the fonts, layouts, and words of these sentiments), also by Reverse Confetti!  Added a few enamel dots and HAPPY is what it makes me:)!!  Thanks for visiting me today!!

Less is More 215...One layer Chickies

I had some time to create this morning...went looking for a challenge...went to one of my very favorite challenge blogs, Less is More!   Oh my...a one layer this week...well, I WAS up for a challenge, right?!  The one layer had a challenge in a challenge...to include an animal.  I pulled out all my stamps with animals, and decided on the super cute chickies from Lawn Fawn...

This card actually has 6 stamps on it, which I broke up into 3 sets of stamps and stamping (stamping them all together didn't work...the spacing was weird).  It looked like this (this pic is after the stamping)...

Before inking ANY OF THE STAMPS, I positioned everything. On scrap paper, I stamped the sentiment.   I first positioned the grounding line stamp around the stamped sentiment.  Then I stamped the line on the scrap paper.  THEN, I positioned the bird stamps on the line, put my acrylic block down on top of them, added heart, 

and now, having every stamp positioned on an acrylic block, I stamped the actual card.    On the card, I stamped the sentiment, clear embossed...then stamped the squiggly line(LOVE the long lined stamp this set comes with!!) and clear embossed...then the three birds and heart and clear embossed.  Then I colored the chicks and heart...LOVE a challenge:)!!  Thanks, Chrissie, and ladies!!  Thanks for visiting me today!!

Whimsical Wishes

The Whimsical Wishes stamp set by My Favorite Things is so much fun!  This set has a bunch of fun designed shapes, with sentiments and quotes that are SO COOL!!  I used the scribbled line of circles stamp and made a rainbow birthday card...

I used 8 different colored inks and stamped only 1/2 the lighter blue row of circles, replacing the missing circles with the "Happy Birthday"!

The second card I made with this set,  I used a few more of the stamps from the set to make a much less colored card...

I stamped the lines with a gray ink, drew a line in gray for the flower's stem and added a colored, cut out, popped up flower with a rhinestone, for the sole color on this card...

OK...FUN!!  Love this set!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Bird-Day Wishes

The Tweet Life stamp set by Reverse Confetti, along with it's coordinating Confetti Cuts dies is just that..."TWEET"!!...

 I used the branch, leaf, and flower dies from the die set combining them with the adorable bird and sentiment from the stamp set to make my card. 

 We have two window feeders outside our kitchen window, and bluebirds have become the newest and most prominent patrons at our feeders!   I was so interested in making my little stamped birdie a bluebird!!  Rather than use the coordinating bird die, as I was paper piecing, I fussy cut my bird and his belly piece with scissors.  While cutting, the legs/feet were cut off...which, given he is sitting on a branch, didn't look out of place...this little guy looks cute either way!!  Here's a close up...

Easter Basket

I made an Easter basket...

This was made using paper piecing...

I stamped and clear embossed then cut out (I also took my black marker and went around each piece to take away the lines of color and make the outlines a solid black) ...

I then stamped the basket image with a light gray ink on the card (so it wouldn't show so much) to know where to put the pieces (these eggs look differently positioned than my card...these are a second set of eggs and basket stamped and cut out to show you how I did it) and the sentiment in black, clear embossed...

I took my Versamark marker and simply put some shadows on the eggs by swiping the bottoms and sides with the marker.

Ok...off to get a Spring haircut:)!!
