National Ice Cream Day Hop with Catherine Pooler and Ellen Hutson

Hi everyone!
Happy Sunday and Happy National Ice Cream day. Today Ellen Hutson and Catherine Pooler Joined forces for a fun hop.
Summer and Ice Cream go hand in hand. However summer is a busy time for most of us, with kids being on summer break and sometimes it's hard to find time for crafting.
I run from work , to kids camps, play dates etc. While I am waiting for certain events I bring with me bunch of stamped images and color on the go.

I love coloring using the CP Designs ink and the mini ink pads are perfect for coloring on the go. That's how I made this card. I had bunch of images with me and colored on the go. I smushed some ink on a packaaging from the store and colored with my waterbrush.

When I got home I die cut 2 of the images, trimmed the ice cream truck panel and assembled my card.

And if you are following the hop you most likely came from Ardyth's blog and your next stop is Carly!!!

The Stamp Market: Poppy Hugs

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a card I have over the My Sweet Petunia's blog.

I used bunch of The Stamp Market goodies and of course my MISTI! To make the card I started by stamping the Diamond Tile Background using Silver Lake Altenew ink, once stamped I trimmed my panel down to 4" x 5 1/4" and set it aside. 

Next using my MISTI I Stamped the layered poppies and the leaves and cut them out using the coordinating dies. 

I die cut the HUGS sentiment and then stamped HUGS in black using the MISTI.

Once I had all the elements I arranged and adhered to the panel stamped previously. Using fun foam I adhered the panel onto top folding Pitch Black note card and added few black Nuvo drops. 

Impression Obsession: Old is New

Hi everyone,

Sometimes we get so busy with new released stamps that we forget about our old favorites. The Impression Obsession team has set aside a couple days a month to share some new projects using some great older stamps. You can see the list of today’s participants on the Impression Obsession blog.

For my card today I made alcohol ink background using blue, pink and purple hues and stamped the flourish image and Thank You Script sentiment in Versamark, then quickly embossed in white. Trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to white top folding note card.

Picket Fence Studios: July Release is LIVE

Hi everyone!
And welcome to the Picket Fence July Release Reveal! It's another amazing release!!! And you don't want to miss it, there are stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil stamps and dies!!!

My first card uses the Peacocks Mandala stencil and the Hey You word die. I used a Jennifer McGuire technique to create by stenciled background. I stenciled first in pink, then turned the stencil for few degrees and applied white pigment ink.

For my next two cards I used the foiling dies, these are SO MUCH FUN!!!! I used the Merci one and the African Succulent. 

Last, but not the least is another stenciled card, but this time using the Fairy Wings stencil and again Jennifer McGuire technique.
