Love the Ombré effect!

Hello and happy Friday!

I'm sharing a couple of cool cards using Ranger alcohol inks!

If you don't know me, I love colors!  And when I saw the new release of the Ranger alcohol inks.

I was in love with them.  And of course, I need to get them, hehe!

Here is my card using the Ranger alcohol ink Beach Duo set and Penny Black Skyward stamp.

In order to create the ombré effect.  I started by using Yupo paper, then by using a blending tool and apply the alcohol ink on the Yupo paper and blended with blending solution.  Then I stamped this gorgeous skyward by using Ranger Archival jet black ink pad. 

Since I had so much fun creating my first card.  I decided to create another one using 

some wintery colors (Alcohol ink:  Cloudy Blue, Sail Boat Blue, Demin).

Here is a picture of both of the cards!  

Goodies from the 7 Kids College Fund store:

Ranger Archival ink Jet Black

Tim Holtz Alcohol ink (Beach Deco set)

Ranger blending tool

Ranger blending solution

Penny Black Skyward cling stamps

It's all about ANIMALS!

Hello hello and happy Wednesday!

 I'm sharing a couple cards using the NEW washi tape - decorative tape from Eyelet Outlet today.

On the card, I created the background pattern paper using the dog washi tape.  To finish the card, I added a sofa, a fun sentiment, and matching puppy brads.

Supplies:  Dog washi tape, puppy brads, Poppy Stamps small hayward sofa, Paper Smooches chit chat and word salad set, black card stock, copic markers.

And for the second card, I used the balloon washi tape instead.

Me stitching...

Hello, hello.... how's your day?  Yes, me stitching....Totally went crazy, I'm not good at sewing at all, even using the sew-easy tool was a challenge!  But then, I got a tool a while back, I decided to give it a try.  I even use twine for the stitch, OMG!!!  Okay okay, I wanted to play along the Greeting Farm Farm Fresh Friday and the theme is to use any type of stitching (machine, hand, faux...).  So, I did it!  I finally hand sew a card.

A London card inspired by my friend Catherine.

Hello and happy Wednesday!   I was inspired by my dear friend Catherine's post the other day.  She created a beautiful card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge, the challenge theme is "Best of British".  My mom and I both love England very much.  So, when I saw the Penny Black Love London clear stamp set, of course, I have to pick it up.

Onto the card, I used the map background stamp from Hero Arts/Studio Callico.  And the layout is from the Penny Black PB&J Monday.  Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Relaxing weekend and time for some WASHI tape action!

Good Morning!  How are you?  I hope you are enjoying your weekend, as for me...  Since all of guests returned home, it's finally time for me to relax and play with my new goodies that I got yesterday from CKC Scrapbook Convention and my LSS.   

As you know...  I LOVE my Japanese washi paper tape!   They are so so pretty, they come in so many different colors, patterns, designs, and sizes.   I just love then and want to collect them all!   I got this gorgeous London theme stamp from Penny Black.  I created the background with the super cute black polka dot washi paper tape and I colored the image with Tim Holtz distress markers in spun sugar and worn lipstick.

And here is a picture of us waiting in line at CKC, ready to shop until we drop!

Play time!

TGIF! How's going? I have a couple of projects to share today...

First up, I just love this gorgeous breezy leaves from Penny Black. I inked up the stamp with distress ink pad in peeled paint, then embossed. I used the friend script background stamps from Hero Arts, then the dragonfly die from Memory Box.

Ok, the second one... totally out of my comfort zone. But as you know, I'm madly insane about the new Dylusions ink spray and those super cool stamps. I just can't keep my eyes off them. So so cool!

Well, off I go... Have a great weekend!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Hello and happy Thursday to you. Just want to pop in and share a simple card using this adorable Penny Black transparent Wonderful set, these cutie pies are just darling! I hope they bring you a smile as they did to me. Hugs!

Want a COOKIE?!

Howdy! Would you like a cookie? Haha! Earlier I saw these super cool chocolate drizzle star cookies from Trader Joe, I figured it would be fun and to create a fun, quick, and yummy mini treat for my friends at work. And VIOLA!

I cut out these tags from the Cricut expression, I used the Sweet Treat cartridge. And for the stamp, I got this adorable 12 days of Christmas set from Penny Black, too too cute!

Day 2 of class....

Hi hi, it was day 2 of class yesterday.... so so fun. I'm totally enjoying inking up glossy paper and just having inky fingers!

Here is a card using the 'Kissing' technique.I just loveeee the gorgeous background stamps from Hero Arts (friend definition and fabric design) and how about the flower with border punches, huh? Hehe! The sentiment is from Penny Black.

And here is my page of this week the Greeting Farm's heart journaling class, the theme is 'One Word', since halloween is coming (plus, I live in New England, we live to use the word WICKED a lot), so why not to do a halloween page. The paper is from My Minds' Eye Haunted and I also use some Tim Holtz dies and stamp to dress up the page.

Until tomorrow....
