Christmas Money Holder

Hi there lovelies,

I hope that you're enjoying the week so far!

For today's inspirational post I created a money holder, perfect for those "picky" relatives ;-)

The stamp that I used to create this money holder is from Some Odd Girl Stamps and is called Mini Elf Digi Stamp. I colored it with Copic Markers.

I cut the shaped envelope using a SVG file and my Silhouette Cameo. Patterned paper and tag are from Craft Smith. And the holiday trim is from Lawn Fawn.

Easy, right? LOL

Have a great day! ~xoxo~

A "Merry" Tag

Hi there lovelies,

Finally... I think it is time to start thinking about Christmas!!

I know... Halloween isn't over yet, but I just loooove Christmas. I guess it is my favorite time of the year :-D

Anyway, Some Odd Girl Stamps started releasing Christmas digis and I just couldn't help myself, so I had to start coloring and creating right away.

The featured digi is called Mini Rudolp Digi Stamp and you can find it by clicking here. I colored him with Copics markers on Bristol Smooth Surface paper.

The tag is a Sizzlit, and both patterned paper and letters are from Bella Blvd.

I hope that you're having a terrific week! Thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

I can't believe that it's Fall already! Time sure flies. Next thing you'll know, it's going to be Christmas.

Anyway, to get started with Fall, I created this Fall inspired tag featuring the lovely Daffodil Fairy Digi Stamp by Some Odd Girl stamps.

I colored this cutie using Copic markers on Bristol Smooth Surface paper.

As for the tag, I used patterned paper from Prima Marketing, Inc. I also used trims, a doily, a sunflower, foam tape for dimension, and I cut the letters using my Silhouette Cameo.

I hope that you're having a terrific week... and thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

Is It Back to School Yet?

Hi lovelies,

I can't believe that Summer is over and that the kids are back in school again! Where does time go?

To celebrate the kick start of a new school year, I created this card with the lovely Reading Mae stamp...

I colored the stamp with Caran D'Ache Luminance Pencils and mineral spirits on Bristol Smooth Surface paper. Background was colored using my old-time favorites... chalk.

As for the card, I created the shaped card using my Big Shot and Netabilities templates, and then I distressed the borders with Distress Inks. Patterned paper is by Prima Marketing. As for the rest of the embellishments, I added cheescloth, a paper wreath, trims, and machine stitching.

I hope that you're enjoying your weekend! And thanks for stopping by! ~xoxo~

These are my most recent cards for Some Odd Girl Stamps...

Two circle/scalloped cards featuring the Mini Mermaids.

As for the cards, I cut both the circles and the scalloped circle cards with my Silhouette Cameo, then I stitched the borders, and added flowers and sequins as a finishing touch. Both sentiments are from Magnolia stamps.

Summer is almost over and school starts back again soon! We'll see how this school year goes ;-)

Happy Stamping! ~xoxo

Saturated Canary: Bookmarks

Hi everyone,

It's time for another inspirational post from Saturated Canary stamps!

Today I'm sharing two bookmarks that I made recently. I've been having this idea in my head for a long time and I never had a chance to develop it.

They measure 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" and you may be wondering what's the big fuss about them? Well the thing is that they're "shaker" bookmarks.

After I colored the stamps (I used Copics and Polychromos Pencils), I placed everything (sequins too) inside a plastic and sealed it with a photo sleeve fuse (Project Life). Then I punched a hole on top and attached ribbon to give it a finishing touch :)

BTW, the stamps that I'm showcasing here are called "Nevaeh" and "Pixie Nerd" and you can find them here.

Thanks for stopping by!! ~xoxo~

Shine Bright on Your Day!

So recently I celebrated my birthday :-D

and of course, I had to create a card for such an important occasion...

The stamp that you see here is called *Starshine* and it's made by Saturated Canary stamps. You can get yours by clicking here.

I colored it with Copics and Polychromos Pencils (yeah, I cheated on my Prismacolor Pencils...LOL!) The background was made with chalk in different shades of pink and purple, and the sentiment was computer generated. I also used sequins, Stickles, and a glittery white cardstock to add more "shine" to the card ;-)

I hope that you liked it and thanks for stopping by!

Bible Journaling Inspirational Post

Hi everyone,

Today I'd like to share with you an inspirational post for Saturated Canary stamps.

This time I created a Bible Journaling page in which I'm featuring this gorgeous stamp called "Breathe".

I printed the image on vellum paper and then colored it with Prismacolor Pencils, did a fussy cut around the image, and adhered it to my Bible page using a spray adhesive. To color the background, I used Dylusions Paint in pink, blue, and white.

And here's the verse that I extracted from the Bible... it's Psalms 16:8.

Thanks for stopping by!
