Mixed Media Birthday Card

I had so much fun designing and creating this mixed media birthday card. I love designs that involve colors and textures, so I was completely in my happy zone with this one.

I used die cuts for the lettering. The background is ink blended using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. I stenciled over the top portion of the back to achieve the small dots. The bottom portion is stamped using a water droplet stamp. I then finished off the bottom edge with a strip of washi tape. The butterfly and dragonfly are die cut pop up stickers.

Drop me a comment and let me know what elements you like to combine for mixed media cards!

Happy Cardmaking!

Avocado Toast Shaker Card

You are the avocado to my toast. This card was so much fun to make! My son went to breakfast at First Watch and brought me the silverware wrapper, which I turned into the sentiment. One of the avocados is a tiny shaker that is filled with little avocado shaker bits and glitter. I think this has to be one of my most favorite cards that I've made! Tell me... do you like Avocado Toast? The avocados are cut from dies that I purchased from Kat Scrappiness. The tiny avocado shaker bits can be found here on Amazon.

Craft Roulette Episode #279 Card Contribution

This week's Craft Roulette parameters were the following: Project - Kid's Card Colors - Theater Element - Picture(s) Random - 1/2 and 1/2 I layered my card base with some rainbow gradient pattern scrapbook paper. I die cut a honeycomb using an A2 coverplate, but only used half of it to achieve my 1/2 & 1/2 parameter. The bear is die cut and colored with colored pencils. The cute little bee elements are from a MayMay Made It stamp set, which I fussy cut and colored with markers. To create a "picture" effect, I used a purple foiled frame that I made on my Glimmer foiling system from Spellbinders and cut out with rectangle dies. The marble foil plate I used is from Altenew. This was my 47th submission for Craft Roulette.

Great App for Organizing Your Dies, Stamps, Stencils and Craft Supplies

If you're a cardmaker or papercrafter, chances are you have lots of dies, stamps, stencils, embossing folders and many other fun crafty supplies. I have been looking for a way to organize all of my collections, so I can utilize more of my tools in an efficient way. In the process of researching, I discovered a great app that is designed for organizing "collections". It is very easy to set up and use and even allows for syncing between all of your devices. You can also add "friends" if you have team members that need to access supplies too. You can find it in the Google Play Store here... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.altova.mycollections&hl=en_US The app is called My Collections by Altova. I set mine up by collections of dies, stamps, stencils, embossing folders, and Betterpress/Hot Foil Plates. I have storage boxes for each of these items. I assigned numbers to each package and then entered that number into the My Collections app. If y...
