Whimsical Card

Hello crafty people!

Today I have a simple card to show you.

I embossed a piece of white card stock with an embossing

folder and my Cuttlebug for the background.

"Smile" was stamped onto a piece of water colored

card stock from my stash and adhered to the background then

adhered to the front of a card base.

Inside I stamped this whimsical greeting and

added a strip of the water colored card stock at the 

bottom.

And Done!

Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping in today,

come again soon.

You never know what you'll find at

Happies the Jellyfish

Welcome to my blog!

Last week I posted a unicorn I made from the

pattern in this book.  Today I have another animal to

show you.

Crochet Cute Critters

This time I made Junior the Jellyfish.

He was quick and easy to make and 

again I took creative license and made him

in the colors I had on hand.  

I think he turned out pretty darn cute.

My granddaughter, Marie, loved him and

named him Happies.  I'm sure that had to do

with the smile on his face.

I hope you like my little critter 

and will think about giving something

like this a try.

Now to decide which animal to make next

I hope you'll come again soon for a visit 

and see what else I've been up to.

Until then,

smile and be happy!

Smile and Congratulations

Hello and welcome!

Today I have a couple more 2 for 1 cards.

For these two cards I embossed some white card stock with 

the Octogon Embossing Folder from Darice.

I then used Mustard Seed and Carved Pumpkin

Distress Inks to color the embossing with an ink

blending tool.

I cut the embossed piece into two pieces and used one for 

this card.

I used this sentiment inside the card,

from Cas-ual Friday

(sorry I can't find a direct link)

For this card I used the other half of the embossed piece

and a congratulations from my stash of stamps.

For both cards, I cut down some scrap pieces of coordinating 

card stock and added little strips to finish off the card.

I'm happy with how these cards turned out.

Thanks for stopping today, I hope you have been

inspired in some way.

Come again soon.

Until then,

try something new.

Smile

Hello and welcome!

I think a rainbow of colors is so happy looking!

I decided to make some simple cards with a happy

look, so I got out my watercolors and made these.

I thought "smile" was a prefect addition to the fronts of 

these cards.  

I had trimmed off a bit of the front panel to make it fit

on the card and thought I'd carry the color inside.

For this card I use a smaller swatch of colors and

heat embossed the "smile" with embossing powder.

I hope these cards made you smile as well as the friends the

were sent to.

Until next time

Smile and spread some rainbows.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge

Hello everyone!
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed

with breast cancer?
That is why the Cas-ual Fridays Challenge

 this week is to use 8 of something on your card.

I'm entering the 2 cards below into the challenge.

This first card was made using the 

"Smile"

stamp from the
"Sassy Smiles" stamp set from

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

I used Versa Mark Ink to stamp Smile

down the panel of the card.

Then I used Pan Pastels and 

made colored stripes over the words.

The words show up beautifully with this 

technique.

There are 8 different colored stripes on this card.

This is the inside of the card, the sentiment

is from the same Sassy Smiles set..

Love that sentiment, it never fails to make me smile.

For my 2nd card, I used the same technique,

but this time I have stamped "Smile" 8 times

The sentiment on the inside of this card is also from

the Sassy Smiles set as is the little heart next to the sentiment.

I love this stamp set and have already used it for a few cards and

only got it about a month or so ago.

CAS-ual Fridays has some great stamps and dies

so why not pop over and take a look,

you might find something you love too.

And while you're at it, stop in to the 

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog

and see what they are all about.

Join along in the fun and maybe you'll win 

a prize, someone has to win, so maybe it could 

be you.

Thanks for stopping by today,

come again soon and see what I'm up to

in my creative world.
