Hello everyone!

Can you believe Halloween is just two weeks away? I’m not ready for cold weather to set it.

My card today features these adorable little trick or treating little cutie pies from Crafty Meraki. They are from the stamp set called ‘Fangs for Being My Friend‘. They are hanging out in the ‘Outside the Box Slimline Die‘ waiting for their candy…lol!

The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on X-Press It Blending Card and were colored with the following markers.

Hello and welcome!

What better way to say thank you than with flowers. I LOVE flowers, and do my best to grow them. Unfortunately the deer love them as well and seem to eat them just when the blooms are about to open.

This gorgeous die called Jewel Bloom Mini Slimline Die is from the October release at Crafty Meraki. The sentiment is from the beautiful Thanks Bunches stamp set. SO many fabulous products to create with again this month!

We are having an Instagram Hop and would love to have you join us. Details below.

I cut the die on plain white card stock and colored it with the following colored pencils.

~Prismacolor Pencils~
Blues: 1027, 105, 905, 992, 289, 938
Yellows: 941, 1034, 942, 916, 915, 1011, 938
Pinks: 994, 993, 1014, 938
Greens: 911, 912, 913, 989, 938

My card base is 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″. To that I added a layer of white measuring 6-3/8″ x 3-5/8″. The multi-colored notebook paper is from my stash. I carefully cut it out on the diagonal so the lines would be on a slant.

The sentiment was stamped, layered with bright blue cardstock and adhered to the card with liquid glue. I added a few rhinestones in matching colors to finish my card.

Hey Friends!

Being grateful for what you have, especially people you love is what makes life amazing!! I am ever so thankful for those I love!!

It’s new release day at Crafty Meraki! There is a lot of inspiration to be found as always!

My card today features a few products from the Craftober new release. This card was easy to put together, and for once…NO coloring!! Sometimes the hardest part is figuring out what paper to use.

I used the Pagoni Mania Mini Slimline Die, the Jewel Bloom Mini Slimline Die, and the sentiment from the Thanks Bunches Clear Stamp Set.

I used the dies included with the Jewel Bloom Mini Slimline Die to create the 3D flowers on my card. I pulled together some coordinating printed cardstock and cut out enough flowers for layering.

My card base is 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ with a white layer of 6-3/8″ x 3-5/8″. To this added the Pagoni Mania Mini Slimline die cut panel which was cut out of print cardstock. I added a panel of pink print paper layered with white. The bottom scalloped border was cut using the Waffle Flower Stamps – A2 Lacy Layers Die.

The beautiful flowers and leaves are from the Jewel Bloom Mini Slimline die. I used a flower shaping tool to give the flowers dimension, and added flower stamens to the center of the flowers.

Hello and welcome!

Today I am sharing a beautiful card made with gorgeous products from the Crafty Meraki store. The beautiful flower dies are from Crafty Meraki and are called Chloe Meraki Flora Para-Dies. They were super easy to color and make such a statement on this card!

Sometimes it’s the totally unexpected creation that just grabs your attention. This card is one of them for me.

I die cut the Chloe Meraki flower dies on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers.

~Copics~
Greens: G94, YG03, YG11, YG21
Pinks: R22, RV42, R11, R00, R000
Browns: E29, E27, E25, E35

I started with an A2 size top folding card base. The products I used on my project (listed below) are from the Crafty Meraki Store.

PinkFresh Studios – You Are my Favorite Stamp Set
Waffle Flower Stamps – A2 Lacy Layers Die
Honey Bee Stamps – Lovely Layers Heart Vine Die/Honey Cuts

This was a super quick card to put together…I just might have to try more of this style.

You Make Me Feel Chirpy

Leave a comment

Hello friends!

Do you have a certain someone that makes you feel chirpy? I have been with my husband for 41 years and I would still snuggle up on a perch with him…lol!

My card today was created with the most adorable Toucans from Crafty Meraki. These super sweet little sweethearts are from the Tou the Tropics Stamp Set.

I stamped this adorable image on Neenah Solar White paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with the following colored pencils.

~Prismacolor Pencils~
Black: 935, 1067, 1065, 1063, 1054
Blues: 208, 1040, 1022, 919, 1087
Browns: 948, 946, 941, 1082, 1080, 997
Oranges: 918, 1002, 917, 1003
Greens: 908, 912, 1096, 913, 989, 1004
Reds: 924, 923, 922
Yellows: 942, 916, 1011, 914
White: 938

I ink blended the background panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and then splattered it with diluted white and black craft paint. Once the panel was dry, I die cut it with the Crafty Meraki Mini Slimline Bar None die. The sentiment is from the My Favorite Things Tweet Friends Stamp Set.

I left every other space white to create a little visual contrast. The Toucans were attached to card with double sided foam tape. Just a few coordinating enamel dots finishes the card.

Hello friends!

Woot Woot!! I can finally share some exciting news…I have joined up with all the talented ladies at Crafty Meraki and will be designing beside them.

My first card as a design team member was created with the super adorable stamp set called Mertini on the Rocks, and the Bubble Mania Mini Slimline Die. Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could transform ourselves into a mermaid for the day and zoom through the water to look at all the gorgeous coral and aquatic life. That’s not asking for too much is it?

These little cuties were stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with the following Markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20
Boy with Seal: B97, B95, B91, B05, B04, B00, Colorless Blender Hair: E37, YR23, Y15, Y11
Boy: YG17, YG03, YG01, YG00 Hair: YR18, YR16, YR15, YR14, Y35
Girl: V09, V06, V05, RV02 Hair: RV02, V05, RV55, BG45, BG13, BG11, BG10, White Gel Pen
Seahorse: V99, V95, V93, V91, RV00, V05, RV10, RV02, RV000, E43, E42, E41, E40, Y00
Plant: YG17, YG03, YG01
Coral: R35, YR18, YR16, YR14, Y06

If you follow my blog, you know I love layers. To achieve a layered look, I started my card with a card base of 6-3/8″ x 3-5/8″. Next I die cut the Bubble Mania Mini Slimline Die out of white paper, and glued it down to the pre-printed water look paper. This piece was then glued to a 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ piece of white paper, and finally glued to the card base. All of the elements were also attached with liquid glue or double sided foam tape. The sentiment is included in the Mertini on the Rocks Clear Stamp Set.
