Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Happy 4th of July!

Hello and Happy Saturday! Not only am I happy that the weekend is here but I'm also excited that today is the 4th of July holiday!  I look forward to spending a great day with family and friends.  I also really love watching the fireworks at night which is always a ton of fun!  In honor of today's special occasion, I've made a patriotic card for my share today!

Here it is...

I've had this cutie from The Greeting Farm for quite some time but it's actually the first time I've created with her!  This sweet Cheeky Mate was perfect for my patriotic card so I was so excited to finally color her up with my copics!  I also added Wink of Stella all over her outfit and you can't really tell in the pic but she has lots of sparkle!  The festive papers I used are from a collection called "Liberty" by Bo Bunny and all the designs are fantastic!  For added embellishment, I found some cute tiny star sequins which I scattered throughout the card for a fun look.  I also added some thin red ribbon from my stash!

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Cheeky Mate - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Faded Jeans - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Steel Grey Hybrid Ink - My Favorite Things

Liberty - Bo Bunny

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Wink of Stella Glitter Clear

For those of you celebrating this 4th of July Holiday, stay safe and have fun!!!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Hello, Friend!

Happy Saturday Friends!  Today, I have a fun card share for you.  Hope you like it!

And here it is...

I love the Cheeky Cherry Collection from The Greeting Farm and this is one image I don't feel I use enough!  But she is really so adorable and caught my eye when I was looking for images to use for today!  This is Cheeky Chat!  With the life being so busy these days,  I think many of us rely on technology like emails or texting. What would I do without texting every day?!!! LOL  But that's why this image really makes me remember the good ol' days when I used to actually love to pick up the phone and talk for hours...especially with my BFF! :)  I  know I need to do more of that and this image really did make me smile!  After coloring up this cutie with my copic markers, I then added  Wink of Stella over parts of her outfit to give her some shimmer.   The fun papers I used are called Hey Kid by Pink Paislee.  I think the cheerful bright colors and cool design went well as a background for her. To finish off my card, I used an older MFT stamp set called "Ring Me" for my sentiment.  I also added some sequins and twine.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Cheeky Chat - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Mustard Seed - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Steel Grey Hybrid Ink - My Favorite Things

Ring Me Stamp Set - My Favorite Things

Hey Kid - Pink Paislee

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Happy Father's Day!

Hello Friends!  Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  In preparation of the Father's Day Holiday coming up, I thought I'd create a Father's Day card for my share today!

And here it is...

I had so much fun water coloring with my distress markers for the last card that I couldn't resist making another card with a water colored background!  For this one, I used a background stamp I have in my stash and stamped it onto some Tim Holtz water color paper using my Versamark Watermark Stamp Pad.  I then added some white embossing powder from Recollections and heat set it.  Over this cool design, I water colored over it with my distress inks and water using some colors I thought would make a good background for a masculine card.  The colors I used were Pumice Stone, Faded Jeans and Black Soot.  I really love the way they blended together so well!  I added some splattered ink to parts of it for a fun effect!  The sentiment came from a Winnie & Walter Set called "The Big, the Bold & You".   I also embossed this sentiment and used some Sparkle Black Ranger embossing powder for this.  The die cut used for the background is from MFT called Warm Wishes Die-Namics.  To finish off my card, I added some enamel dots and twine.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Faded Jeans - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Black Soot - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Pumice Stone -Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Versamark Water Mark Stamp Pad - Tsukineko

Warm Wishes Die-Namics - My Favorite Things

Water Color Paper - Tim Holtz

Black Sparkle Embossing Powder -Ranger

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

The Big, the Bold & You - Winnie & Walter

For those of you celebrating Father's Day, I hope the "Dads" in your family have a special day and that you all have a wonderful celebration!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Happy Graduation cards

Happy Saturday Friends!  Hope you've had a wonderful week and are starting a great weekend!  For my kids, it is the last week of school so we've been so busy with school events and graduations.  2 of my sons graduated the last few days from middle school and elementary school.  The schools over here have promotion ceremonies for this which are so so special and fun to watch!

So my share today are a few very simple graduation cards I created for my kids in celebration of their milestone events!

Here they are...

The 2 adorable graduate images are Graduation Luka from La La Land Crafts and Grad Ian (digi) from The Greeting Farm.  Both are so perfect for these celebration cards!  I colored both images up with my copics and kept the cards very CAS to really just focus in on the fun images and the special graduation theme.

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Graduation Luka - La La Land Crafts

Grad Ian - The Greeting Farm

Copic Markers

Memento  Tuxedo Black - Tsukineko

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

I always have mixed emotions when it comes to these events.  I'm sad knowing that my kids are leaving the schools they love and where have established so many special memories at.  However, I'm excited for their new journeys to begin at new schools!

For all of you celebrating 2015 graduations,  a big congratulations to your celebrants and to your families! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Marcy

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: Celebrate!

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I have quite a few birthdays coming up in the next few months so I thought I'd start getting some cards created!  

Here's my b-day card share....

This adorable Dollie with Cupcake is always a perfect image for fun, girly birthday cards!  Dollie is so super cute and who doesn't love cupcakes too, right?!!  I colored her up with my copics and then added Wink of Stella all over her dress and cupcake for some fun sparkle!  I also added some polka dots to parts of her dress with my white gel pen.   I love to do that!  For the background, I used one of my favorite Doodlebug Designs papers called "Sweetheart"and I thought it matched so well with her outfit!  I also sprinkled some sequins on the background which always seems to complete my card! :)

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Dollie with Cupcake - The Greeting Farm

Hello and welcome to my Inspiration post for this wonderful Saturday!!!  Hope you're all enjoying a nice weekend.  I'm so excited with Summer right around the corner and thought I'd make a fun happy card!

Here it is...

Here's another adorable cutie from the  TGF Magical Kit.  She's actually one of the originals called "Shimmer Bean" and I was excited to see her in this awesome set again!  I colored her up with my copics and then added Wink of Stella all over her cute outfit!  For the background, I used some TH distress markers to water color on some water color paper.  I hadn't done this in a while so it was so much fun! I also added droplets of water to the background which gave a cool resist effect,  making the water color stand out even more!  The sentiment was from my stash and I just embossed it to the background  using some white embossing powder.    To finish off my card, I added some fun yellow twine and of course sequins! :)

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Saturday: Moments Canvas

Happy Saturday all!  Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  Today, I have a fun canvas to share which I had made for my mom for Mother's Day last weekend!

Here it is...

I don't really have a chance to make layouts very often although I do love making them!  And of course they make fantastic gifts too!   For my project,  I started off with a blank white canvas which I painted with some Martha Stewart acrylic paint in "Sea Glass".  I added some Prima paper on top and distressed the edges along with the picture with my Tim Holtz distress tool.   Now the fun part is adding all the embellies.   I added some fabric trim, some Prima trinkets and lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.   I think my favorite piece is the little cupid angel at the top corner! :)  I also used a couple of bottles of my Tattered Angels glimmer mist to splatter bits of color all over the layout.  It's a little hard to see in the photo but I thought it came out pretty cool!  

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Sunshine - Prima Marketing

Trinkets and Embellishments - Prima Marketing

Glimmer Mist - Tattered Angels

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Distress Tool - Tim Holtz

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts 

Sea Glass - Martha Stewart

Hope you enjoyed my project!   Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  

Hugs,

Hello!  Hope everyone's having a great Saturday and for those of you celebrating Mother's day that it is a fantastic weekend!  Today's I have a simple Mother's Day card I've made in celebration of this special holiday!

Here it is...

I had recently picked up some Wow embossing powder in Gold Rich Pale and I couldn't wait to play with it because I really love the tone of this gold color.   I  used my Versamark ink to stamp some flowers and leaves from a set called Contemporary Roses by My Favorite Things.  I then water colored over them with some Tim Holtz distress inks.  I really soft colors against the gold.  I added Wink of Stella over the flowers and you can't really tell from the photo but there is tons of pretty sparkle here!  To finish off my card, I added some sequins including the fun heart ones from Pretty Pink Posh.  I also tied some pink jute rope in a bow for a bit more splash of color!
