Happy Birthday

Did you like the tour yesterday?  I'm ready for bright colors!  Here's a quick little card we made this weekend.

I love the cupcake builder punch!  Look at this close-up of the Dazzling Details.  A thin coat is spread over the "icing" piece (just use the bottle nozzle to spread it around).  Clean off the nozzle before screwing on the top.  I keep my details upside down, so that it's always ready to go!  I also store my tombow that way too.

Have a great Monday!

Vacation Summer Smooches

As we're packing and getting ready for vacation, I'm thinking of bright colors, beachy breezes, sun tans (not sun burns) and zero alarms.  Let's just say vacation can't come quick enough.  This was inspired by a card that was on a display board at a Remarkable team meeting.

Simple Summer Smooches

This is a cute card that I received as a swap that I HAD to recreate.  Swapping with friends and teammates is so much fun!  I had fun creating in April with Summer Smooches and now we can create all year long with these fun colors and the summer smooch product line!  A little snippet of DSP makes this card!  

I was invited to southern Virginia this weekend to stamp and snack and discuss social media!  Stamping has introduced me to some amazing friends.  I can't wait to see these ladies!  I've been working on my shoebox swap, and after the week and heat I've had...I'm looking forward to a couple days away!  I'll be sure to share our projects with you next week.

A Smooches Scrapbook

Good Monday morning!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

  Here's a scrappy layout.  I started with the First Edition DSP and lightly brayered ink all over it.  Then I punched out a Blossom Punch flower and used the negative portion as a mask (or stencil) and sponged flowers up the side in Rich Razzleberry.  The banners are free-hand cut  using up scraps.  The funky heart adds a pop of black.  

The next page is also using scraps.  The right margin is the left-over first edition DSP, this time brayered with Rich Razzleberry ink and with the Tasteful Trim Big Shot die.  I liked adding the pop of black to these bright colors.  The heart is the negative image (ok---left overs, scraps, trash - whatever you want to call it) from the first page.  

Have a great day and a wonderful week!

Summer Smooch (and a little dirt)

Hiya!  If you're reading this in your email, stop on over at the blog.  The new blog header is up using Summer Smooches and My Digital Studio!

On to the card...This is another summer smooches "scrappy" card.  The flower was colored with markers.  The bud colored twice, cut out and popped up on the original.  A bit of bakers twine and a sweet button finish this scrappy card.
