Rainy Day Duck

Hello and Happy Friday!!

I have a quick post for you today.

I just love this cutie patootie little duck!!

The duck is cut from my brand new

Peachy Keen Cottage Cutz

Duck w/Egg die and Duck Accessories.

The cute little face stamp was incuded

with the Duck die.

I have embossed her using the

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Die and

inked her up with TH Distress Ink

in Mustard Seed and Dried Marigold.

I colored her face in and

added glossy accents.

Her hat is inked with Pickled Raspberry.

She is mounted on a a piece cut from

My Creative Time's XL Label Die.

The sentiment was stamped from
My Creative Times Teeny Tag Stamp Set
and mounted on pieces cut from
her Build a Banner Die Set.


The papers are from Imaginisce and Doodleb
ug.
The Washi Tape is from My Mind's Eye.
I added some bling to the raindrops.

Spring Card Set

WARNING!!!

This is going to be a very picture heavy post!!

First off, I want to thank everyone for

wishing my Sweet Pea a Happy Birthday!!

Here is a funny picture of her not

looking too happy to share her birthday

cake with her sister Jasmine!!

So, on to my cards.  I recently purchased a great

little card kit from Archiver's Annex.

It came with the Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint

stamps that I have seen elsewhere for $20.00

for the stamps alone.  The card kit was $20.00

and it included the stamps, some cardstock,

tags, a bottle of Stickles, a 6x6 MME paper

pack and a roll of Jute string!!

What a great deal!!  Here is the set of cards I made.

In all these pictures is is hard to see the card base,

but I cut them all at 4x4 from the brown cardstock

that was included in the kit.  The pattern papers

are from the paper pack included as well as

my scrap box.  I used a variety of products on

all the cards, I will list them at the bottom.

 On this card I used Twine &

Turquoise and Lime Green Stickles

 

  On this card I used the Jute String, 

Want 2 Scrap Bling &

Magenta and Cherry Ice Stickles

For this card I used Glitter Tulle, Want 2 Scrap

Bling and Lagoon Stickles

These next two cards are the first ones I made

and they do not include and dry embossing.

I used Webster's Pages Trim, Recollections

Bling and Yellow Stickles on this one.

I loved the butterfly so much, I used it twice!!

This card has sheer ribbon, Recollentions Bling

and Lime Green Stickles

Materials:

Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint Stamps

Various Spellbinders Dies

Various colors of

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Various Sizzix and

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

All cards but one, have a tag cut with My Craft Spot's

Tiny Tag Dies and are stamped with sentiments

from the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

The tags were embossed with Zing

clear embossing powder.

 Hello and Happy Friday!!

Does anyone have any fun plans

for the weekend?? This weekend is my

Spoiled Dog #1's birthday!!  She was actaully

a rescue so we celebrate the day we adopted

 her as her birthday!!  I cannot believe that she has

been part of our lives for 6 years!! 

She is the sweetest  girl and totally a mama's girl!! 

 

Here is she is watching me as I type this post!

Sweet Pea

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

 

Ok, on to my project for today :)

I made two cards for the

Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge

and

My Craft Spot - Sweet Baby Challenge

 

I made identical baby boy and baby girl cards.

 

 

I started with a sheet of kraft cardstock that I cut

in half to make my 2 A2 sized cards.

The pattern paper is from a 6x6

My Mind's Eye paper pack called

Sweetest Thing.

The next layer is a Spellbinders Label 11.

I've embossed it using a Sizzix

folder called Phrase, Baby.

My sweet babies are a combination.

The bodies are cut at 3" from Baby Steps.

The head and faces are from

Peachy Keen's March SOTM.

I have inked everthing up with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen,

Broken China and Worn Lipstick.

 

I added a little chalk and freckles to their cheeks.

I have also added just a bit of Stickles

around the edge of  their bonnets in

Cotton Candy and Baby Blue.

I used my 3 Girl Jam Bow maker to tie

some double bows using My Craft Spot

crinkle ribbon in Petal Pink and Sky Blue.

The tags are from the Tiny Tags Stamps and Dies

from My Craft Spot.

 

I now have 2 cards ready for the next baby shower!!

Everyone have a great weekend!!
