Hi everyone,

Our challenge on 613 Ave Create this week is Scrappers Delight. I am using this  cute image called Cupid 2. I printed it onto neenah card stock and colored it with copic markers E000.00.11.51,35,37, R20, BV000,01,02, I then used the sizzix circle dies and cut the image  using the big shot. I then used a smaller circle and used the DCWV stack and then a larger circle with the same stack to make the card base. I distressed the edges and used dimensional foam to layer them onto the card base. The flowers were punched with an small punch then colored with sukura purple glitter ink and added with glue dots. The pearls were added to the centers with glue dots. The ribbon is also from my stash. I added sukura glitter clear pen onto the wings but it doesn't show in the photo. It is very pretty in real life. I hope this will inspire you to make something and join in our challenge. 

Thank you for stopping by. happy creating and have a fabulous day!

Hi everyone,

We are having really hot weather here so I haven't been going out unless I have to. I take the dog for a walk around 8:30 in the evening and it is so enjoyable to walk then. 

I went to an estate sale a month or so ago and picked up some cotman and acadmey water color tubes. Some didn't have a lot in it but I was lucky enough that they just gave them to me. 

there was a lot in a shoe container. I have just gotten around to putting them in a pallet, I made up a chart so I could see what the colors look like when put on watercolor paper. I really like the vibrancy of the colors. I also got quite a large sunflower stamp for $.50. I think I did alright and I was very pleased with them. 

I decided to make a card tonight and used this cute Lacy Sunshine image called Shelly C Turtle. She is just so cute. It also comes with the 3D items if you want to use them. I Printed the image onto neenah cs and decided to use watercolors. I taped the image down good to keep it from warping too much. I used a Heidi Swapp stencil to put all the little dots in around the turtle. I had cut out the candy cane and the holly berries but I lost the berries so I only popped up the candy cane with foam dots. I then used the sizzix circle dies and cut out the image. I then though it would be cute if I made it look like a globe card. I cut two more larger circles and scored one .5 inches and glued the two together. I found a really cute DSP to put behind my front piece from DCWV painted petals stack. I added sequins for more sparke. I also used a lot of wink of stella on the image. It is a Christmas card so we need lots of glitter. I made a double bow using CTMH seam binding ribbon. To make the globe base on the bottom I used a MS border punch and glued it to the bottom. It didn't stand well being round so I trimmed off the a piece on the bottom to straighten it. I didn't cut it right and it was wonky. So I took another piece of the border punch and glued it over the first one. It just gives it a lacier look. I hope I have given you some inspiration to come up with some new ideas. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.

Gingerbread Men Shaker

Hi everyone,

My name is Carol and you can find my blog here at Happy Expressions. It's my turn to share a project with you all here at She's A Sassy Lady. Thanks for having join you Sheila.

I have decided to share with you a really easy shaker card. The card base is staples vanilla cs. I added a few snowflakes around the edges with a Seasons Greetings sentiment and embossed them with winter snow embossing powder. I bought the embossing powder from Micheal's. I am sorry the embossing does't show like I hoped it would. I chose a really cute DSP from a MS border self adhesive pad. I cut the image at 2.75 x 2.75 inches. I added some dimentional tape around the square. I then added some small confetti paper pieces I have made from a MS border punch. I also have the border to use on another project. I also added some silver stars and sequins in the shaker.

For the frame around the shaker I used a sizzix scalloped square die to cut the frame. I then took my exacto knife and cute the inside piece for the window. If you have a cutting machine it would make this step very easy. I did it this way encase some of you didn't have a cutting machine. I added the frame over the plastic sheet (cut from the piece of plastic our cricut cartridges come in. The banners are from the same MS pad. I added the banners to the top left of the card. Then added a stripe of dimensional foam on the right side of the card and glue on the left so they would be the same height. I cut a few more of the colored snowflakes with a SU circle punch. I took a red pen and doodled around the card edge.I put some wink of stella on the front of the frame and around the edge of the border. I had some gold star stickers that I used to finish off the card. I hope you have all enjoyed my small tutorial and find some inspiration from it.

Thank you all for dropping by, Have a blessed and happy day!

Hi everyone,

I was looking through my stamps and came across this cute one from The East Wing Stamps. I printed it onto Acrylic paint pad and coloured it with watercolours using distressed ink and markers.  walnut stain, tea die, vintage photo, spiced marmalade, homey comb, picket fence, blue, pink. The background of the image was SU chalk. The card base is SU bashful blue cut using the sizzix circle die. The DSP is DCWV paper stack and also cut with a larger circle die. I used SU close to cocoa marker to add dash lines around both of the circles. Wink of stella was used on the butterfly and sparkle in her eyes. I then added three silver sequins. I hope you have enjoyed this card and I do hope it gave you some inspiration.  

I will add this card into this challenge.
