Jaded Blossom - Hey Boo!

Hello friends, I'm here with another Jaded Blossom card share. This month is flying by way too quickly! There's so much that I want to share with you and still so much more I want to make.

Although I don't make Halloween cards normally, I couldn't pass up an idea I had in my head. Supplies used:

Girl Gnome
Gnome Dies: Thanksgiving Add-On's
Gnome Dies: Tea Add-On's
Gnome Dies: Spooky Add-On's

The paper I used is for the background is a digital print that I purchased from Etsy. The "hey" was made by using a special font. It's so funny to me that I only discovered Jaded Blossom about a year ago and I have a lot of super cute things from them, everytime I get an idea, I scrunch my nose and say to myself, eeehhhh, no, you don't have that. This is what I love about Jaded Blossom, they have reminded me how much I loved paper dolls as a little girl and I can mix & match.

I cut the girl gnome and used the strap and buckle from the Thanksgiving set to make the band on her witch's brim. I cut out the tea kettle from the add on set, the frog and "boo" from the Spooky add on set.

I hope I inspired you to mix and match your dies to create something witch-fully fun and toadally adorable!

Jaded Blossom - Snow Owl fun fold card

Hello! I'm here with a card style that is currently trending. This is a really easy card to make and it's pretty impressive. But what really makes a card? The focal point, right? I just got the Gnome Friends Owl die and had to play. Before I got it, my mother and I were definitely oohhing and ahhing over it. She said when I got it she wants to see a Christmas card. Well, I'm not quite ready for Christmas, but I did want to create something wintry.

So, here it is. My snow owl card and isn't she the most adorable owl you've ever seen! Oh my gosh, I love her so much!

I die cut in out of white card stock and snipped off the head feathers (whatever they're called - I'm sure there's a name). Then added some gray feathers and these owls have yellow eyes so I made sure to color those in. Viola! Perched her on a snowy branch with some beautiful winter themed patterned paper.

I hope you love this card as much as I do!

Jaded Blossom - October Guest Designer!

Hi! I am so excited to be October Guest Designer for Jaded Blossom. I got picked way back in February - you can imagine how I've been wishing my life away for October to hurry and get here! It's finally here and I have a super cute card to share!

For my first post, I hadn't been able to play with the mini-Gnomes since I bought them when they released so this was the perfect opportunity.

I pulled out some old patterned paper that was in my stash from Jelly Bean and began to create my scene. My idea was to create an anniversary card, or just a card to tell someone how much they mean. Picture this: a beautiful night sky, with a full moon in a park that's strung lights. A band playing in the gazebo. And you and your loved one sitting on a blanket, enjoying a little picnic.

I used Mini Girl Gnomes, Mini Boy Gnomes and Gnome Kisses stamp set.

I'm coming back to old friends

 Hi!  It's been awhile since I posted anything on my blog.  I'm afraid it's going to way of the dinosaurs and at the loss of my challenge blog, Tuesday Morning Sketches, it just wasn't in me anymore to post.

But I am back.  I am hoping for design team work to come my way and if anything, it's my personal photo album of things I've made and wanted to share.

Color Dare #640

 Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  Color My Heart Color Dare #640 is up and ready for your fun and creativity!  And I am back for the challenges!

The colors we're using are...

Shades of brown really intrigued me.  This is could either go really well or way south!  I am so glad my card didn't go south.  I am really happy with this!

I used different specialty card stocks from Tonic Studio - from the bottom up, Glazed Chestnut Pearlescent card, Coffee Cream Pearlescent card and Burnished Rose Mirror card.  I cut these in strips and then adhered to a scrap piece of card.  I then embossed it using a 3D embossing folder from Tonic Studios.  I then added a circle of vellum.

I die cut the sprigs which are from Spellbinders from the same card.  The sentiment banner I embossed using Bubbly embossing powder from Brutus Monroe which is a champagne gold color and it's beautiful!  Then finished this off with some Dream Drops.  

I do hope you'll join the challenge!

Color Dare #638

Hello!  Thank you for stopping by.  Color My Heart Color Dare #638 is up and ready for your fun and creativity!  And I am back for the challenges!

The colors we're using are...

My card was a lot of fun to make.  I pulled out some Distress Ink and a watercolor brush and just had fun.  I painted my background with swipes of ink and water on watercolor paper.  When it was dry I then used a stencil and some Opal Chroma Glaze to get the bunch of butterflies.  I then painted some heavy vellum with the same glaze and let it dry.  I die cut the big butterfly from that.

Just look at this shimmer...

It's very hard to capture but in real life, it's gorgeous!
