Pinspired Challenge #17 Happiness

Inspiration Pin

I had a wonderful crafty night last night and got to make this card for Pinspired Challenge #17
The pin inspiration was so bright and cheery to work with. I began by coloring a panel with Peacock Feather Distress ink and dripping water all over it.

I used the Direction of Happy Unity stamp for the front panel with Kaleidoscope ink and Picked Raspberry Distress ink.

Come join in the fun!

Have a great day.

Chicken Wire Stencil and CHALLENGES!

I've been feeling a little out of it lately. Lazy days with the kiddos and my desk just kept getting piled higher and higher with the detritus of crafting. I stayed up until 2am this morning cleaning and purging. Everybody needs a good purge, right? Then this morning I went in search of some challenges I could get to work on.
I picked three

CAS(E) the Sketch! #42

Pinspired Challenges #15

Sweet Stamp Shop's Use What You Have Challenge #13

                    

And using these goodies, some Tim Holtz Distress Inks and a chicken wire mask...

I came up with this!!!

I've had these plastic letters for at least 7 years. Good to be using them again :). I love the colors in the Pinspired Challenge photo and used the chicken wire in reference to the birds, and that CASE sketch is perfect for this set up. The graphic triangles from Sweet Stamp Shop's new Triangle Style are SO AMAZING! and affordable.

Hope you're having a creative day too. I'm headed out with the kiddos to do some more fun things before they head back to school.

Pinspired #12 UR GR8 Card

Trying my hand at another entry for Pinspired Challenge #12.
I also used the Paper Secrets June 21st Card sketch on this one.

I used a Teresa Collins overlay on top of some red paper, created a ruffle with some crepe paper and finished it off with some Studio Calico wooden letters.
Hope your day is beautiful.

Pinspired Challenge #12

Have you seen the new Pinspried Challenge #12

I love the color combo of red and aqua and I was in need of a thank you card. It must have been kismet.
I used some Stampin' Up stamps and some fun papers and washi to complete this card.

I hope you're Monday is brilliant! Don't forget to make some time to create.

DIY Enamel Dots and Pinspired Challenge #4

Yesterday I made up this tutorial for making your very own enamel dots, but at a fraction of the cost of purchasing them. Unfortunately, there was no daylight for pics so I made another project for Pinspired Challenge #4 and snapped a few new pictures.
You can view the video tutorial on Youtube at
DIY Enamel Dots

I really liked the green and orange color combo.

 

Those gold dots came out FABULOUS!

And here are the new shots of the other projects.

So much sassyness here.

 

They can be sweet too.

I also found that I could peel up the adhesive with the dots and then use that to stick it to my project. SCORE!
Craft away my friends.

Polka Dot Card Pinspired Challenge #1

I made this card for Pinspired Challenges #1 Challenge.

I loved the brightly colored polka dots and the jelly beans on the cake so that's where I went with my card. You should come and join in the fun. I began by making a mask with circle punch outs and then sponged in different colored inks through the mask. I will try to get a tutorial on that soon. I hope my friend Erin likes her birthday card.

Used Distress Inks in
Picked Raspberry
Shabby Shutters
Tumbled Glass
and
Shaded Lilac
Oh yeah, and lest I forget. I will be posting a picture of the giveaway goodies sometime this week.
Have a super day!
