{SPD} Totes Ma Goats!




Welcome to the 4th and final day of this months Sweet Sneaks from SugarPea Designs! This week has zipped right by and it's been a blast working with some of the CUTEST stamps in the industry for another month!! What a treat it is to be one of the Sugarpeas!! 

Today we have such a fun set to show you!! It's called Totes Ma Goats (LMBO!!!!!) and it is to dieeeee for!!


EEPP!! I'm so excited about my card today!! I made this one for my dad for his birthday next month…If you know my dad, he's a bit of an old goat, lol, so this is soooo perfect for him!! I coloured each of the little goat 'kids' to match my own three kids and then fussy cut them out. They are popped up on foam dimensionals. I combined some of the sentiments from the set to make this cute phrase, and simply used a copic multiliner to add the 's' at the end of KID. I used an MFT flag die to cut out the vellum strip. I adore this new Simple Stories Homespun paper pad!! Swoon!! I added some various colours of enamel dots for some lil embellies on this pretty simple card….and some straight and zig zag machine stitching also add a little pizazz :)

 Okay, here is the part that I really had to pat myself on the back about….I combined sentiments from this set, as well as a set from last months release: Hug-a-Bull. I left out 'bull' and added in 'Goat' in red ink! I think it's super cute!!

{TI} Throwback Thursday with ME!



Today I am the featured designer on the Tiddly Inks blog for Throwback Thursday!! These are posts where the designers take turns showing off some older, but not forgotten stamps!

I used the absolutely sweet and scrumptious Wryn With a Cherry on Top….isn't she precious! Love her whip cream dress ;) I added some glossy accents to that cherry, as well as to the pink icing and then gave it a generous helping of Rock Candy glitter….love that effect! I used MFT dies, and Simple Stories DP- Vintage Bliss. The CS here is actually grey, although it looks a bit black in the photo…I also added some vintage silver brads.


I finished the inside of this one, as I used some SU 12x12 white CS for the card base , which I find a little on the flimsy side.
I used a sentiment from an old TSG set and The Cat's Pajamas die.


{SPD} Hats Off!

Day three of SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks (WOW- these sneaks are just flying by!!)..Today the SugarPeas and special guest Jessie Rone, are showing you the perfect grad set for the upcoming graduation season!! It's called Hats Off to You! There are both boy and girl grads, as well as a ton of great sentiments (in a few different fonts) and some really fabby accessory images!


I love this DP by Simple Stories, 'A Charmed Life'- I ended up curving the sentiment (easy to do with these clear polymer stamps!) and stamping it directly onto the banner on the paper!! I thought that was quite clever, lol!! I added in some seam binding and made a pretty bow and a few jumbo silver brads. She is coloured with copics and pastels, and I added some glossy accents, and loose rock candy glitter as well. Oval dies are by MFT and I used a corner rounder punch on a few of those corners.

{SPD} Don't Be Koi...

Well, we are on Day Two of the SPD Sweet Sneaks, and today we have the CUTEST stamp set to show you!! I love this one!! It's called Don't be Koi and it's part of out Sweet P collection….




Of course, I've used copics, as well as Glossy Accents for the fish bowl, but before I added my thick coat of that, I used some stickles on the goldfish and sand. Stickles underneath glossy accents lends a nice sparkly, but more subtle effect.  I added some machine stitching, sequins, and border die, sentiment die, button and twine (all MFT). The DP is Simple Stories 'I {heart} Summer'.

I kept my layout CAS and let this handsome little man take centre stage! I coloured him with copics and a wee bit of pastels, added glossy accents to his lightning bolt, and glossy accents to the glasses and buttons. The little tie is paper-pieced. I added some texture to his pants using my colourless blender pen. The star border die is by MFT. DP is Simple Stories 'I {heart} Summer' and you can find it HERE! I stamped the sentiment in black and red ink to really make that 'super' pop! I love the mixing and matching you can do with the sentiments in this set!!
