Picture Perfect

I'm taking a small break from Birthday Blooms to share a PICTURE PERFECT easel card with you.  This card was a challenge from Patty Bennett for our Luv2Stamp facebook meeting.

Doesn't this have a great soft beach feel to it!  Pool Party and Crumb Cake are perfect for representing a blue sky and warm sand!

I used watercolor paper so I could create a soft background with an aqua painter and Pool Party ink.  The starfish is stamped on watercolor paper as well for the added texture.  I layered Crumb Cake and Tip Top Taupe for a realistic look.

The senitments are from two different stamp sets, but they coordinate beautifully!  The one on the card front comes with PICTURE PERFECT and I simply love it.  Such a beautiful statement!  The sentiment added to the strip of Crumb Cake that holds the easel up came from BIG NEWS.  It's part of a wedding stamp in that set so I just masked off the wedding portion and stamped "may all your dreams come true" by itself.

I hope you enjoyed today's easel card!   I love that you get to have a wow factor but it's easy to mail!  The best of both worlds for sure!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

Image
I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
