Favorite Stamp of the Month! (Online Card Class BACKGROUND CHECK) Day 1

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends! Welcome to our "Favorite Stamp of the Month" again! ;) 

First off, before I get started, I just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for those of you who gave me advice for my little Scrappy! For those of you who saw my blog yesterday, I let you know that my little Scrappy was constipated :(  I had given him a tablespoon of canned pumpkin & it helped a little!  Then I had gotten advice in my comments for me to give him a sweet potato & plain applesauce!  For his dinner, I did cook my sweet potato & share it with him! Let's just say that he has some "RELIEF" now! hehehe! ;)  I think by tomorrow, he will be back to his spunky self! So again….thank you for your comments & advice! ;)

Today we are featuring again our FAVORITE STAMP OF THE MONTH which is "Bracket Sentiments" This set is on sale this month & the last day is this Friday, July 31, 2015 at 11:59pm PST!

Okay, now onto my card! I kind of have a few things going on here! I am taking another "Online Card Class" which is called "Background Check".  Basically this class is teaching us different background techniques!  For my card, I just did a technique from Miss Laura Bassen! She did a soft background using Tim Holtz distress inks & used a foam tool to blend the inks! But for my card, I decided to use the same colors she used, but I used a water color technique instead! 

Now for that AWESOME "U" shaker, I got this idea from Miss Lori w/allreddesigns from the craft channel!  This was one of her Inspired by Pinterest shows & I just HAD to try it!  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the Fuse Tool because it has SOO MANY POSSIBILITIES!  I filled my "U" shaker w/my FAVE  Pretty Pink Posh sequins! I explain in my video below how I put my card together!

INSPIRATION WEDNESDAY

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends & welcome to another "Inspiration Wednesday!" 

Usually we post a picture of what our inspiration was, but I don't have a picture, I am just STILL inspired by the watercoloring class I took awhile ago! ;)  For this card, I wanted to also incorporated embossing paste with my watercoloring! So I decided to make a stencil using my Fun Lowercase Dies! As you can see in this picture below, you can see my used stencil! ;) First I did some watercoloring w/my Koi Water Colors, heat dried it, then used my stencil! After I applied my embossing paste, I added the little heart from my 4x4 Journal Die & More! Next I added some of my Wink of Stella Clear Brush to my heart & also over my letters after the embossing paste dried! After I was done, I wasn't happy w/it :( So I decided to watercolor some strips of paper using the same colors & adhered them to the left of the card! At this point, I didn't LOVE it, but it was presentable! ;) Last I added the sequins & that's it! 

Here is the rest of my "okay" card! ;) lol……

U R AMAZING! Card & a special Guest today!

GOOD MORNING my creative friends! Today I have a "CAS" card for you! For those of you who don't know what a "CAS" card is, well ( I just found out myself not too long ago) it is a "Clean and Simple" card!  I thought this was a PERFECT card to make since Father's day is this weekend! I only used 3 items & I just LOVE how it came out!  It is a simple 3x3 cards which I LOVE because 3x3 cards can be made so quickly & they are just as cute! IF you do mail them, I would just put your little card into a regular A2 size card, THEN mail it off!  I don't think the post office accepts the 3x3 envelopes to mail off! You can see the supplies I used below.

Supplies used:

~ "It's all about You" stamp set

~ "What's growing on?" set

~ Sequins (Joann's)

Okay, now onto my AMAZING Guest designer today!  I am sure you ALL remember the OH SO VERY TALENTED, Mr. Trell, right?  He has been so busy working & I am HAPPY that he was able to do this today! ;)  Here is a "hint" of his card & trust me, it is BEAUTIFUL! He used "Floral Sentiments", "Journal it" & the "Stitched Journal Die"! Go ahead & head on over to his blog to see this PRETTY card in it's entirety & he also is sharing a GREAT technique as well!
