Good Morning Dreamerz!!

This morning I bring you the cutest card.  The digital stamp is from a new company, but I bet all my paper piecing friends are very familiar with the designs.  The company is called Digi Box Designs and they are the sister company to Treasure Box Designs. 

This Digital stamp is called Spring Girl 

Digital Stamp uploaded into Cricut Design Space to use the print and cut function with my Explore Air

Sentiment if from Cricut Design Space

I used Fancy Frames Dies to create a pretty mat that image is on

Spring Girl was done in water colors using Faber Castell Albrecht Durer

Be sure to stop on over at Digi Box Designs as right now they are having a sale as a Get to know us kind of promotion 50% off all digital images.

Also if you would like to see what the rest of my fellow Design Team is doing with these fun and whimsical digital images please come on over to the FACEBOOK GROUP 

Have a great day Dreamerz!!

A life filled with dreams...

Good Afternoon Dreamers!!

As promised here is another card for you to enjoy.  Those that know me personally know I love the following things in no particular order (yet sometimes one more than the other) Unicorns, Frogs, Dragons, and Rubber Duckies.  I bought this Frog Ballerina stamp from Stampendous and I have used it quite a bit.  I think it is very whimsical and very versatile.  

So I stamped her on bright white cardstock and colored in just her tutu, ballet shoes and then fussy cut her out. Stamped the sentiment and fussy cut it out and adhered it on my die cut layer, then mounted the whole project on pretty patterned grey cardstock. Base of card is on the same color grey as the fussy cut sentiment. Finished card off with a tiny Silver tulle bow to help tie in the theme of the card.

Supplies used:

Fancy Frames Die used on black woodgrain paper from American Crafts

Ballerina Frog from Stampendous

Red Stickles on tutu

Iridescent Stickles on tips of tiara

Silver tulle for bow

Colored part of stamp done with Staedtler Tri-Plus Fineliner

foam pop dots to elevate Ballerina

Have a great day Dreamerz!!

I'm Late! I'm Late! I'm Late! or wait maybe I am early??

Good Morning Dreamerz!!!

Today I will be putting up a few blog posts.  First card is for a male friend of mine. Chris and I have been friends over 20 years yet I do not know how old he is (over 20 right?) He is one of those guys that when he was younger was a bit vain about his appearance.  Now that he is older he really does not like the fact that he is aging.. He has always refused to tell me how old he is or even to give me a birth month/day.  So every year I send him a card on April Fools day and on the inside it always says the same thing "Either I am late or I am early, but at least I did not forget your Birthday" He looks forward to these cards every year he tell's me.  This year I am sharing his card with you all first.. 

Have a great day Dreamerz!!!

Annabelle Melancholy Moppet ~ Spring

Good Morning Dreamers, this morning I am sharing a pretty digi.

So I bring you Annabelle Melancholy Moppet but with a Spring twist. You see usually melancholy conjures up darker, sadder images of forlorn longings of things past to me. So I colored her in the colors of Spring with bright pops of color in pinks and purples, even the lil bird is blue as in the Bluebird of Happiness.  I used my MS Word program to insert her onto a new project then found a free vector of a bench in a park like setting as her backdrop.

After she was completely watercolored I created a frame using Spellbinders long border dies. The flourishes are also die cut from Spellbinders in parchment paper and a soft green printed paper that pulls the color from the bushes. I added a couple of pretty flowers over the top of the flourishes to add more pop of color.

Have a great day Dreamerz!!

Looking a little green...

Hello Dreamerz,

This is up sort of late as I had a very busy day today.  

I just purchased the Tim Holtz Crazy Cats stamps and dies and am in love with them!! I wanted to use them right away.

So I was trying to think of how to use them and realized I lacked in get well cards in my stash.  I always like to have a few on hand to drop in the mail for a friend when I hear they do not feel well.

I hope you like my humor on this one.

Card Recipe:

Various Copics in green to color cat
