For my card today I used the the Bright Days and Off the Wall Backgrounds from Catherine Pooler Designs and paired it up with E-Z Lights from Pear Blossom press.

I stamped the images using Midnight ink , die cut and colored with Alcohol based markers. Next, stamped the background and switch using In the Park and Midnight ink. Watch the video below to see how this card came to be and how the lights were assembled under the panel (it's very EASY!!!!)

Picket Fence Studios: June Release is Live

Hi everyone!

Happy Picket Fence Studios release day! If you haven't already checked the new release head over to the Picket Fence Studios store and check it out. You don't want to miss it!

I have two cards for you today

For my first card today I used the You Were Mermaid for Me set along with A Fishy Lot. I stamped the images on watercolor paper with black and embossed in clear. Once embossed I used Karin Brush Pro markers to watercolor the scene and the elements.

Die cut and assembled my panel, then using craft foam adhered to a A2 notecard!

For my second card I used the Drop By to Say Croak set and coordinating dies along with Pond Scenery to create my little froggy scene. I LOVE LOVE the frogs!! I also used the Nested Rectangles Slim Line dies to create my slimline card.

Pink and Main: I am Here for You Always

 Hi everyone!

Happy Sunday! I am back with another card using the May Pink and Main collection. I used the Dearest Friend stamp set which is a 6x6 set and has this amazing huge butterfly. I found a background I had previously made using gel press and dye inks and stamped it on it using Embossing ink, then embossed in white. I used my MISTI, so I was able to go back and repeat the process to get little bit thicker layer of embossing. 

Trimmed the background to 4" x 5 1/4". Stamped sentiment on black card stock, embossed in white and trimmed it. Using foam tape I adhered it to my stamped panel. Next, using craft foam I adhered to top folding white note card and added few pears from the Essential pack to finish it off.

Pink and Main: You Are Truly Amazing

Hi everyone!

Happy Saturday! Today I have a clean and simple card to share with you using the May Pink and Main Release. I love this month's focus on butterflies. 

To make the card I started by stamping one of the butterflies from the Butterfly sketches set, I used my MISTI tool and two shades of teal ink to get multicolored look. Next I die cut it using the coordinating die.

I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Butterfly kisses pack to 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the sentiment from Dear Friend set using black ink. Adhered the butterfly using foam tape and adhered using craft foam to a top folding white note card.
