    • Friendship Card featuring “Chickie Baby” by Sunny Studio

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Feb 17th

      Hello Everyone! I need a card to send out this coming Saturday so I thought the sentiment from the Chickie Baby Stamp set by Sunny Studio would be perfect. “From one Chick to another” and it’s that time of year where some of us start to get a little spring fever!

      I also wanted to bring in bright colors and spring paper so I am using pattern paper from the Spring Fling 6×6 paper pad also from Sunny Studio.

      I couldn’t choose which papers to use so I am using a few and reaching for a card sketch. This is from one of the December 2019 SFL Flavor of the Month Card Sketches that you can download. Click Here if you want to check those out; you can click on downloads and see the drop down menu for different years.

      I trimmed down my pattern paper following the sketch and stamped a scene onto watercolor paper. I chose Arteza Real Brush pens to color.

      I wanted my sentiment on the scene and not as shown on the sketch so I brought in some ribbon. I also have to stop hoarding my enamel dots and decided to grab these white ones in a small, medium and large. To finish my card I used some Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on the 2 chicks and flowers.

      Thanks So Much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

    • Easter Treat Boxes featuring Sunny Studio’s “Chickie Baby” stamp set.

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Feb 10th

      Hello Everyone! Happy Monday! I know it seems a bit early to be thinking about Easter (especially since I spent the weekend digging out from a snowstorm) but I couldn’t wait to share this fun project with you creating these Easter Treat Boxes!

      The “Spring Fling” pattern paper pad from Sunny Studio is one of my new favorites, I love all the pattern paper and it was perfect to start making some Easter Treat Boxes.

      And check out ALL the chicks that come in the Chickie Baby stamp set! I love how they are all different and they were fun to add to my boxes.

      Today’s project was simple. I used a die from Lawn Fawn Tiny Boxes die to cut the pattern paper into boxes. Once my boxes were die cut, I scored and added super sticky tape to put them together. I wanted to make sure they didn’t fall apart.

      The decorating was the fun part! I stamped out all the chicks and eggs from the stamp set with Copic friendly ink and colored them using Copic markers. I added the images to my boxes and finished with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen! And no box was complete without a chocolate treat!

    • Adding a little Sun on Monday with Sunny Studio’s “That Sucks” Bundle!

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Feb 3rd

      Hello Everyone! I’m hoping to start our week off with a little Sun with Sunny Studio’s stamps and pattern paper. Today I am using the “That Sucks” stamp and die bundle and the Spring Fling 6×6 pattern paper.

      I’m also bringing in some distress ink and watercolor paper to do a little ink smooshing. I am using Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick and bring in little Peacock Feathers for some hearts.

      First, I flipped through all the beautiful pattern papers to find the one I wanted to use. Once I chose a pattern, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim my panel.

      Next, I took out my non-stick mat and smooshed down some Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I added some water and pressed down my watercolor piece. I did this again then repeated the step with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I used a heat gun to dry the area and added hearts using the Distress Ink.

      I stamped out the vacuum image from the stamp set with Copic friendly ink and colored the image with Copic markers. I then used the coordinating die to die cut the image. All that is left is putting the pieces together and adding some finishing touches!

      The finishing touches include Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen, White Gel Pen, and some Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops.

    • 5 More Cards using Collection 4 from the FOTM Jan Card Kit!

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Jan 27th

      Hello Everyone! After the release of the January Card Kit – It’s All About the Boys – I wanted to see how many more cards I could make from 1 of the collections.

      In case you didn’t see my card from the reveal…

      I really like that there was a page that had 4 images with sentiments and I wanted to use those to turn into cards, so the layouts are close to the same.

      By the time i finished the 5th card from the collection I had mostly scraps left. So, I took a piece of white card stock and added all the extra strips then trimmed along the white card stock to make the focal panel. I added my last piece of cork and “hung” a saw and hammer I stamped and colored from the stamp set.

      After a total of 6 cards from this collection I had a few tiny strips of scrap paper (which were too small to save), a few enamel dots and the stamp set left!

      How many cards were you able to make with this collection?

      How adorable is this sleepy fairy?!?! Today I made an interactive card using items from the SFL Release. The fairy is on an action wobbler!

      This card was so much fun to make and I think this fairy is super sweet. I stamped out 2 images from the Winter Fairies stamp set and colored them in with Copic markers. I trimmed down 2 pieces of pattern paper from the Winter in Pink paper pad and used a stitched scallop basic edge die on the star paper. I then stamped the sentiment from the Fairy House stamp set and used a little Spun Sugar distress ink along the edge.

    • Winter Fairies Birthday Card – SFL New Release

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Jan 6th

      Hello Everyone! Let’s just start by saying “YAY, A SFL Release”!! Today I am making a birthday card using the Winter Fairies 4×6 stamp set and pattern paper from the “Winter in Pink” 6×6 paper pad.

      I first started by making my background. I stamped out the fairy image and snowflake stamp all over the rectangle card stock. I decided to color those images using the cool gray Copic Markers (C1, C3 and C5).

      I also stamped the image and used a variety of Copics to color the wings, hair and skin. I also decided her dress needed some solid parts so I use Copic markers on the neck and middle of the dress. I paper pieced her dress using the pink snowflake paper from the Winter in Pink pattern paper. I adhered the pattern paper with liquid glue.

      While the glue dries on my fairy, I trimmed a piece of vellum with an oval die. Basically at this point my card is ready to put together and add some finishing details. I added “White Blizzard” Nuvo drops on the rim of her hat and Enchanting Pink Glitter Nuvo drops to the left on the vellum.

      On the inside, I just stamped the image with London Fog Memento Ink and added the sentiment from the stamp set “Happy Birthday”

      This release is So Exciting for SFL – right now you can get all 3 items in a bundle CLICK HERE for more information.

      Thank You So Much for stopping by! You can see the process video HERE on the SFL YouTube channel.

      I hope you enjoy and get inspired!

    • Any Occasion Card featuring “Oh Boy” stamp set by Doodlebug

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Dec 16th

      Hello Everyone! Today’s card is a card that can be used for any reason. I like to have cards in my stash that can be for any occasion – just grab a sentiment and you have the perfect card. Today, I am using the “Oh Boy” stamp set by Doodlebug and the “Ice Cream Celebration” 6×6 pattern paper pad by SFL.

      This card is fairly simple. I stamped out the image onto 80lb white card stock and colored it with Copic markers. I used a square die to cut out my image and the next size up die to cut the pink paper from the pattern paper pad for a mat.

      I used a rectangle die for my main panel and trimmed the brown polka dot paper and more of that pink paper for a mat. I adhered those pieces using tape runner and foam tape for the focal point piece.

      To finish my card I used the “Belgium Bluestone” Nuvo Stone Drops and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush on the flowers, hearts and boots. I also used a white gel pen to add some “stitch” lines on the pink mat that my image is adhered to.

      Thanks So Much for Stopping by! I hope you enjoy and get inspired.

    • “Bee-lated Birthday” Shaker Card featuring “Oh Boy” by Doodlebug

      Posted at 7:00 am by Christine Patterson
      Dec 9th

      Hello Everyone! Today I made a “Bee-lated” birthday card featuring the “Oh Boy” stamp set by Doodlebug and the “Ice Cream Celebration” pattern paper pad by SFL.

      This stamp set is very versatile. It has sentiments for “Bee-lated Birthday”, “Hello”, a little encouragement with “snailed it” or say thank you with “you’re tweet” and more. I also love that this set has 2 boy images – they will be perfect for my young nephews!

      I first stamped out the 1 boy with the kite image, the sun, and stamped out the bee image 3 times. I colored them simply with Copic markers and then cut them out.

      I then flipped through the pattern paper and found a fun, busy pattern for inside my shaker window and a plain pink for the outside frame. Once I cut my inside panel and frame I used liquid glue to adhere a piece of acetate to my frame. Once that was dry I added the foam adhesive. Lastly, I put A LOT of sequins in various sizes and shapes into my window area before adding the frame to the busy “window” panel.

      Lastly, I added my images and sentiment. I finished with a little Wink of Stella clear glitter brush to the wings of me bees.

      I hope you enjoy and get inspired!
