Brusho!!!

Hey Crafty Friends!

I have a super quick post for this last day of 2018 featuring my first go with the Brusho Crystals!


I embossed the new FREE Sale a Bration stamp, Lovely Lattice on to glossy cardstock & then just sprinkled a bit of the yellow & red Brusho on, spritzed with water, & used my heat tool to dry them.
It was kind of magical the way the Brusho works!

The sentiment & butterfly punch are from the 2019 Occasions catalog.
Don't forget Sale-a-Bration starts January 3rd!


Well friends I am off to celebrate my daughters 14th birthday!
See ya next year!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Hello Crafty Friends!

I'm here to show you the card I made for my mom using the butterflies I punched out in my last blog post. 


I wanted them to have some dimension so I spritzed them lightly with water & wrinkled them up a bit then I dried them with my embossing gun. But before I did that I took a black sharpie & carefully outlined the butterflies to help them stand out even more. 
Mom liked it so I'll call that a win!

Well that's all I have for you, thanks for stopping by today!

TGIFC187- Sponge It!


 

Well Friends I am excited to be playing along with this weeks TGIF Challenge as it gave me the push I needed to cut in to the most beautiful paper ever!

This DSP is called Botanical Butterfly & you can only get it FREE! 
Yes folks, that's right this paper will only be available during the Sale-a-Bration promotion beginning in January or if you join my team you can get it in December. ;)

I have to admit I looooooove butterflies so I was pretty happy to see so many featured in the new product offering! 
I'm also a sucker for vintage vibe cards & sponging was always my go to technique to achieve that look.

We have to talk about that new double butterfly punch...L.O.V.E. Total must have! And that beautiful sentiment is from a brand new set called Strong & Beautiful.

I am offering an All About Butterflies class in January & I can't wait to have my friends make a card like this! 

It was so easy & fun to do! 

I just start by sponging the DSP with Soft Suede adding extra on the butterflies then I went back & added a little Coastal Cabana to the flowers. Of course we had to sparkle it up a bit by adding some Wink of Stella on the butterflies & the gold punched beauties just finished it off perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by & I hope you head on over to see what the rest of the TGIFC Team created to inspire you!

Stamp a Stack Sample

Hey Crafty Friends!

I'm back today to share one of the cards we made at my last class.




I wanted to design something that had a bit of a rustic feel to it.

The Festive Farmhouse DSP was the perfect fit!
I sponged the tree with Garden Green & I also used Garden Green to stamp some Kraft paper I had in my stash. The gold reindeer added just the right amount of bling!

Don't forget to check out the product links below & thanks for stopping by today!
